I figured since there isn't a topic on this handset yet that I'd go ahead and start one. Android spin is reporting the phone will release on sprint by the end of July. Does anyone have any information on what will be different about the handset other than the radio. I don't see why sprint would give it a different moniker if its the same as the international version.

Whosdaman got an email from his source saying that it would be coming at that date. From what I see WiThin=WiMax+Thin. So, they're marketing two features of the phone(4G and size) with one name. So, that's my guess t the name change.

Nice. It'll have ben out 2-3 months before my upgrade is due, so I doubt I'll get it to turn around and a new phone come out.

it'd probably be cheaper to buy a brand new one from craigslist or ebay than to use your 75 discount and lose atleast a year of your contract agreement
I just upgraded to the epic a month ago lol, looks like I'll have to put a few bucks to the side till its offically released
Posted by some phone named the Epic.
Can't wait to see it come out! I barely got the Epic in March but I wouldn't mind the quick change

I have been sitting on my upgrade since february, preordered the evo 3d, then heard about this phone a few weeks ago. If you look at the specs, this thing blows the evo 3d out of the water. Internal memory is huge and the bench marks are insane. So, it looks like I will be sticking with samsung.
Happy I got my epic brand new in box from a friend for 3bills. I refuse to lock a contract.

Best way to do it. Ill probably sell my epic on Craigslist and but the within on Craigslist or eBay. I hate signing contracts

been sitting on my upgrade since february as well, specifically for the sgs2. i had the moment, intercept, transform, and the epic so i might as well keep her goin samsung style.
So I got my Epic in December. I stupidly locked into a 2 yr contact. I definitely want this phone tho. Even if it means breaking my contract and starting a new one. What's the smartest route to take?

What's the point of staying a loyal customer to sprint?
I saw that on android central, and al I can say is le boo.
Well, at least they are moving the new customer pricing up to 20 months for upgrades, that's cool.

Those one year upgrades have got to cost them a bundle. That's the only perk I'll miss.
Well...at least we get 20 month upgrades. But the rest sucks.
Looks like ill have to go back to getting 1 year upgrades from assurion.

But really, what % of lines qualify for that? Sprint premier is something that helped them keep customers long term. Now people won't have an incentive to stay. Now the only thing Sprint will have to hold it's hat over T-mo is true unlimited data.

How often do they not have replacement phone at assurion?
coming next.... true unlimited data goes away. after that price increases to match the competition. i'm done with sprint. my service has been too shoddy recently in areas that other companies have been good (including ATT) if i'm going to end up paying the same amount as those companies i'm jumping ship.

Ugh, why Sprint? One of the things I liked about you was actually caring about us customers. Now with this, the iPhone, maybe eliminating our unlimited data it just seems they want to be like Verizon and AT&T and be "one of the big boys on the block."

That is totally GACHO ! This was one of the major benefits of staying with Sprint all these past 7 years ..... they better NOT change the unlimited data or they will lose customers because that is another main reason for choosing Sprint !
Well I've been a customer for 15 yrs. I still say they are better than the other carriers but i'm tired of getting dicked over. But that is the new company standard?

The first time someone sucsesfully pulls this, I garuantee there will be a massive thread. That's how I got a diamond (they were out of the vogue) and a tp2 (they were out of touch pro 1s)
It happens. Thbey usually will be out of stock for a few days while they are awaiting refurbs and will have to offer something from the authorized exchange list.
Its amazing how many phones take a bath that week.

All I did was I called Sprint *****ed about the epic and said that I wanna get on a new phone the lady said that's OK and she gave me a few to choose from and the nexus s 4g was one. I am using it right now rooted and all ****s amazing.
That's what I did sorry I can't respond to all to everyone I did not exspect to get over 200 inbox messages. Hahahaha. I did have 3 people that it worked for already

OOOoooo, sounds shady and unethical.
Craigslist, (still shady but more ethical ) , ftw
Here's the Secret,
1. Sign up for TEP
2. Use the phone for two calls
3. Brick your phone on purpose by erasing the bootloader
4. send it in for TEP and request a Nexus S

Just got shot down. Said I had I power button issue and ****ty service. They said I needed to have my epic replaced 3 times before I wo9uld qualify for a nexus. I'm pretty slick. I've gotten replacements for nothing before, and I didn't mention the nexus until she did. Instead, she made me a service ticket and told me to take it to a corperate service center, since I told her I had been told to call the hotline by a 3rd party store.
I guess ill try again another day.

There is no doubt that ICS is going to be available on the R800x.
But getting an official OTA update from Verizon, thats a whole different story.
really??!! you guys are seriously arguing over this post??
GROW UP!!
on a serious note though, yes ICS is coming to the Play its expected end of march/beggining of april sony's words not mine!!
I think people are just a little bitter over verizons track record...
For me I hope this is true and.it would go a long way to keep me.as a customer

I thought you were leaving?
Sony has stated that they are pushing ICS to Xperia Play. That is, they are going to push it to the companies that push the update to the phones. That means that the companies that don't put their bloat on it will send it right out, once they can confirm that it works on their system.
Companies like AT&T and Verizon will get the update, add their bloatware, and also program it to match their systems. Verizon, in particular, will most likely take longer being that it is CDMA, as opposed to GSM, which is what the rest of the world's Xperia Plays are. Unless Sony is actually making a CDMA version themselves, it's going to take awhile for R800x.

That's funny, because the Droid 3 doesn't have an unlocked bootloader.
So you switched from Droid 3 in your xda app sig back to R800x?
And back on topic...
You have to take any information from a Verizon Rep with a grain of salt...
I was told in November of 2010 that we would Froyo on my Continuum within a month... They just got that update... My Eris never got updated...
Verizon decides who gets their time and energy for updates based on device sales, so if you really want ICS, go convince some of your friend to get Xperia Plays...
Ok thanks for the info

I just called sprint and they said that it will be available for purchase, not pre order on the 25th. I also asked a buddy of mine that is a district manager for t-cellular which is a third party seller for sprint and he said he would actual have the phone for sale. Not sure if that is accurate though, because best buy had no clue.

No, I worked for best buy and Verizon and T-Mobile. Oddly enough, T-Mobile people were the most informed because we had good communication from up top. Verizon was OK, not great, at giving us info. Best Buy is the worst. Not much training, they don't have answers, they pass stuff on that they change hours later. Incredibly disorganized.
