cdma hero for 1 cent - Hero CDMA General

Just thought id let anyone know whos interested htc hero is .01 with a new line of service on amazon.com . Just picked up 2 for my parents and have them both rooted already using universal androot.

Got one off Amazon for the gf last week

1c? is this just for new upgrades?

At this point they should be paying you $100+ to sign a 2 year contract with the outdated phone. What is sad is that Sprint does not have a more current android phone without the dumb 4G tax.

the hero is only a year old next month. it's still a decent phone. tbh the evo will be considered outdated as well by x-mas. the thing that worries me is the fact sprint has not announced their fall/winter lineup yet. i really hope the hero2 or updated desire is coming.
i do not want nor need a 4g phone. the $10 coolness fee is a joke and 4g kills your battery big time.

Yeah. I'd be perfectly fine with a phone with faster specs, without 4g. If I need 4G, I can use wifi >.>

Technically you could always sell the phone and use the money towards a better one. Would love a non-4G phone to come out, gah.

this is only for new customers, not for renewing customers . A good deal for a new customer non the less since best buys best price right now is 99 bucks. My parents and my girlfriend just switched to sprint and recieved this for a penny. This phone maybe outdated to some advanced users here but my parents and gf dont qualify as advanced and they love their new phones.Also a side note sprint canceled their referal program but I played stupid and asked if we both get a 25 dollar credit for the referal and they did it for me when activating my parents but said they no longer honor the program when activating my gf, so I guess it depends on who you speak too.

im a premier customer and get upgrades every12 months .Correct me if im wrong but arent we all premier customers with the hero since monthly charge is at least 69 dollars . Therefore theyd only have to use the outdated phone for 12 months

sounds like sprint is in a damned if you do damned if you dont situation. They rolled out the evo and the epic and raced to do it with 4g coverage and now we want a phone like the evo and epic minus the 4g.lol

No more EVO commercials

Has anyone noticed the lack of EVO commercials lately, since the rumor of two more phones started?
The Nexus S is made by samsung, so does that mean updates never come out? Or because it's a Nexus it won't be an issue? The rumored specs don't seem that much better than my EVO, so no rush there. Anyone have the specs for the EVO 3D? I don't care about 3d, but a dual core and higher resolution would be nice.
Running CM7 with RC2 and my GPS locks quickly.
I saw an evo and evo shift commercial last night.
I've seen a few lately, a couple yesterday.
I saw a evo conercials last night too, buying think is funny how they still pushing the Droid incredible I seen a lot of those commercial and hear them in the radio and is almost a year old

The Incredible commercials are out there because Verizon is doing something that Sprint doesn't do....put their phones on sale. I think they are selling the Dinc for $49.99. (I think I even saw somewhere you could get them free) Sprint is still selling the EVO for $199.99.

the commercial said $99 for inc.
and yes.. sprint does not put big sales for phones... no BOGO.
because they dont rape you on monthly fees.
so you can save up front on cost of phone.. or save much more over the 2 yr contract.
i find it hilarious that Hulu plays Evo commercials and yet blocks android. brilliant. (not that i don't watch hulu on my evo anyway)

Actually, there's no real saving on Sprint when you compare hardware costs. I've looked at it...
I've seen Verizon offer their top tier phones at 1/2 price to free in the last year and Sprint is only $10/month cheaper on their monthly fee. Then when you figure in the coverage Verizon offers, for me, Verizon is the better value. I'm just waiting on an LTE Android phone, from Verizon, to make the switch.
I'm pretty sure you would save more than just 10 a month though.
Perhaps it's just in the South Florida market.
Although, if you watch Fringe, it is a non-stop EVO commercial.

There's really not that much of a difference between the costs of the two carriers now. Which definitely isnt going to play in Sprints favor in the long run.

true the price difference is smaller now.. for a few months.
but once verizon uses LTE to control your data...to charge for more access (that is free now)...
and data tier pricing...
you will see that difference grow...and grow...
I haven't seen as many commercials lately. I did notice today though that the EVO is not available online from Sprint's website. It's still there, but says it's sold out.
My wife is losing her company iPhone and needs a new phone. She wants an iPhone, but the plan difference is sickening. I get a 25% discount on monthly service at Sprint through my employer. We can both get on a plan with Sprint, including the two $10 premium data charges for about the same price as a single comparable iPhone plan on Verizon. 2-for-1 is hardly a contest.
I just saw a couple Evo commercials in the New York City area. One on local TV and one on a national cable network.
I think Sprint is still pushing the phone, but they're offering $125 in credits for new accounts, so that to me says "we're reducing new stock to prep for new products to come."

This assumes you get a new phone every time your contract is up. I realize in a forum such as this, most people probably do upgrade, but many in the "outside" world don't.
Watch Fringe on Friday night (FOX) if you're looking for Evo commercials. One of the main characters, Peter Bishop, is an Evo user and his phone makes regular appearances. Product placement is usually tacky but in this case, I don't mind.
You should be watching Fringe anyway. It's a great show.

Lost my phone, now i can "upgrade"...

so i lost my phone the other night and long story short sprint has awesome customer service, and they pushed me forward to allow me to purchase an "upgrade". kind sucks though right now as i had the evo and currently there's not many more options. what should i do? another evo? i was thinking about the shift and it seems pretty promising hardware and overclocking capabilities?
So, if I were you, I would buy a used phone, and Hold On to that upgrade credit. Even used Evos are kinda cheap right now, and if you "upgrade" to that, well then you are Stuck with that on contract. And thats bad because ...
Currently, there is no "upgrade" from the Evo from Sprint (yes yes, debatable. Some say the Epic is awesome, I don't think so.)
Sprint is about to announce new phones on Tues, and if they let you keep your credit for a few months, you should be able to grab an Evo3D.
wait for the EVO 3D

Its sort of like an in between fee. He paid a small to get his upgrade now, instead of the 3 months when he may have gotten it. The ETF would be as in ending your contract, cutting the sprint service.

Well I said 3 months as an example, it could have been at the end of the year. And as far as I know, the fee is variable, based upon when you ask for it.
So like march > june = smaller fee
march > november = bigger fee.

Even if the price is virtually the same, an ETF and an early upgrade to your line are still different. You keep you current plan and you current account, as well as the time you've been there (aren't there benefits for 10 year customers or something?)
I guess there are reasons to want an entirely new account, I just don't know them.

That makes sense. I didn't realize ETF would cost you your account history. I wonder is the dollar amount is the same though.
I know people who have paid ETFs before because it was only like 50 bucks and they turned right around and signed a new contract and got a 500 dollar phone for 200 dollars. 300 dollar savings makes the ETF worth it in such a case, if its far enough into the contract. (If you don't mind losing account history. Are you certain you lose it?)

Yup, account history is definitely lost.
when will the evo 3d be available?
just get another evo. no upgrade just a replacement. save the upgrade for the next wave

[Q] Phone upgrade?

Who thinks sprints upgrade isn't as good as it should be. Your with them for awhile and when due for a upgrade after 2 years but is it really a upgrade.
Most of the free phones are older and not new lol there older no one wants them thats why there free.
You get the same thing a discount a new customer gets 150 off with a 2 year new contract WTF.You would think after being with them for awhile you get a better discount that would be nice.
So what do you guys think? Keep it on topic what you feel about the upgrade. Also without getting insane about money there making and losing.
Just a general question no flaming or you will be reported since this isn't a flame war just a general thought on what everyone thinks about it.

So you don't think you're upgrading your phone from an old one to a newer one with more features? The money you pay over the course of 2 years is so Sprint can make their money back on the money they LOST selling you a discounted phone.
I'm sorry but this thread fails. Lol. An upgrade means going from old to new. From good, to better. You're going from an older phone to a newer phone. A good phone to a better phone. An UPGRADE.

Lol not really a fail was a question to see what everyone was thinking that was all.
I see how alot of people see it even tho sprint makes a thousands of dollars every 2 years off you no one seems to care that the upgrade is ****ty lol sometimes it's not worth using the upgrade cause there is nothing worth buying at the moment sometimes the phone your using is better then whats out. So each to the own.
Was a general question doing a study on thoughts of people who like the upgrade and those who don't so no FLAMING IF YOU DO FLAME YOU WILL BE REPORTED AND YOUR COMMENT DELETED. SO KEEP IT NICE AND TO THE POINT. THANKS.
Well....... I mean.... no carrier is just gonna give you a free phone when you upgrade. Unless you pick a basic crappy phone. They're giving you a 300-400 dollar discount on a phone... that's generous if you ask me.
I can see how you might think a customer who's been with sprint for 2 or more years should get a nicer discount, yeah, that would be nice. But that doesn't mean we aren't upgrading our phones.

They don't make their money back in 6 months... it takes a minimum of 12 months to make their money back, after that is when they start making profit, assuming you're not taking advantage of the yearly upgrades in which then, they barely make any money back off of you.

Never tend to upgrade unless there is something new thats been out for awhile so the bugs are all worked out. They do make money off many things there not poor lol.

Leta see that's 1260 a year minus the 350 they ate for you getting the evo ($910), plus running the stores, network, payrolls, and what ever other expenses im sure they make a slim profit margin in there somewhere.
I worked at Walmart they said out of all the expenses they only make 2% profit off a sale.

Get $150.00 for your old EVO 4G

I am not sure this has been posted yet, but for you wanting to get the E3D or another phone, get a $150.00 credit on the purchase of your new phone.
Just did this 10 minutes ago and got my new EVO 3D for $49.99
You can take it to a sprint store, or do it online easily at:
http://www.sprintbuyback.com/
Have fun!
Is this only when you're due for an upgrade or anytime?
You can do it at anytime. As long as it turns on and doesn't have a cracked screen or anything. If you don't have upgrade it would just take $150 off retail price. I wouldn't think that price is going to last much longer seems its being sold with upgrade for $99.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You are right, you can do it at anytime and even use other cellphones, but they might give you a lesser value.
The price WILL NOT last long. There are actually places selling the EVO 4G with new 2 years plan for $29.99.
Hey... I just had an IDEA. I will buy used EVOs and sell the to sprint!!!!
Wonder if you can use more than 1 EVO trade in towards the purchase of a new phone if your paying full price?

The Evo3D is a waste of money. Why would I trade an evo in for an evo? The only reason I'd do this is if I was coming from a MUCH older phone.

because it is indeed a MUCH better and faster phone perhaps. I was thinking exactly like that until I played with my coworker's phone...
I was waiting for an Iphone on sprint... now i will not waste my time... evo3d is so much better...
My wife has an iphone on verizon... I have sprint because of my work... and you know what... 3d beats it!
We bought our Evo's for $119 before any number porting credits or rebates. If we were due for an upgrade it would be nice to make $30 on our phones trading them in for $50 E3D's for a net of about $20 to get into brand new phones. We are more than happy with our Evo's and already have batteries and too many accessories to consider following through at this point.
On my way to the sprint store now to trade in my og evo for a $50.00 3d? Will probably return it in a week though for the photon. Only time will tell.

I got my Sprint contract end-date moved, now I can LTEVO Monday!

I am very happy! I went into my local Sprint store, had googley eyes at the attractive Sprint guy, but he told me he couldn't move my contract end date so I could get the EVO LTE when it comes out. (My contract isn't up until Sept. 1 2012)
I called *2, explained to the rep that I wanted to stay with sprint another two years if I could upgrade to the EVO 4G LTE that is to be released for pre-order day after tomorrow. She said no.
She was eager to try options though and put me on hold. Her supervisor came back (without me asking for her). I said, "I will gladly pay any pro-rated fees to move my contract up to an early date. She told me there was nothing she could do to move my contract dates.
THEN
I said, "Why can't I pay the pro-rated penalty for canceling my contract at this point into it (20 months in) and.."
"Sir before we consider cancelling your service, let me transfer you to the department that can move your date up for you!"
And had no problems after that.
I would suspect Sprint would be willing to do anything to keep customers, as they have spent so much money on building a fallen 4G network and building a new 4G network, and after buying all them iPhones. lol
So, I will be a happy EVO 4G LTE pre-order customer come Monday!
Good for you.

Nice work! I'm at 21 months, and I think I will give this a shot. The EVO is a great phone.
I'm gonna get one of those many iPhones they bought lol. EVO was great to me and, even better to me when I rooted but...I still can't get great battery life with any techniques mentioned all over the forums. The LTEVO does look like a monster and, I'm happy to see a true successor to the OG EVO but I need GREAT not good battery life. Congrats on your upgrade I get mine in 17 days
I am so jealous of you lol. I need to call them as well to see if I can get my eligibility moved up. My contract ends on September as well so wish me luck! I badly want the Evo LTE

Are you an attractive lady? I'm assuming you will need to be... The OP seems to hint at this.

Looking attractive does not matter over the phone.

i don't get it. all you get is $150 off the price. you can just buy the phone and hold onto that discount for the future...
I'm waiting till galaxy s3 comes out on sprint then ill decide whether or not to get EVO LTE or s3

If you have no plans to leave a particular carrier, I'd rather sign the contracts and not pay more money for the phones. I've had Sprint almost 5 years, my wife for 10. Why pay more?

$150? The cheapest you'll find this phone is at like $600 unless you wait for a few months to get it at $500 after some digging through ebay or craigslist

I don't get it, if you're going to stay on the same carrier anyways, why not upgrade? If you end up wanting to terminate your contract you'd still end up paying less in total through an upgrade than without one anyways.
Alaman nailed it. Other arguments are ridiculous and futile lol

Sprint will let anyone buy out there contract if the area you live in is approved for buy out. It sounds weird but they actually have maps of areas where customers can and can't buy out by region.
