Free Epic with 2 year activate OR upgrade @ Best Buy

www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+Epic...int)/1168955.p?skuId=1168955&id=1218230592078
pretty awesome deal, also if you're a premier member call them they will waive activation and give you credits

This is what they do to get rid of any stock units. Eol for Epic production it seems.

someone was just talking about it's eol for the epic.. so what's the replacement phone? g2x or something? because as far as i know, im going back to htc.. only because of the dev community, DEF NOT FOR 3D. anyone have a clue??

lol you also get a free lady gaga cd with a 2 year activation

lol figures

ya clearly screw lady gaga but for free? Im all about that. I already have it but def getting it for a family member since we are about to have gingerbread etc seems like the phones about to hit its sweet spot honestly.

Figures, and I just upgraded my phone to an Epic but payed $90 though Amazon. Wonder if I am able to return it and get my upgrade credit back to buy it though Bestbuy. Oddly enough, I went to bestbuy first to buy it to see if they would price match, but was a no go.

Well, that's definitely a kick in the no-nos. Paid $230 7 months ago and now it's free. smdh.

Bought mine back in january, its ok, my next purchase will be a tablet, so ill get all the new feature with that.

I suppose its possible. Looks like they are featuring an Android phone from each of the big 3. AT&T HTC Inspire "4G", free also. Do you think its at end of life? Just asking because I have no idea what it usually sells for. Also, Verizon Fascinate is free.

It's far from end of life. It will stay being their best keyboard phone as the galaxy 2 wont have one. I mean it really depends what you want out of your phone but for free...this hardware will still be considered very solid and able to perform for the next couple years

I agree. What I should have opened with is "I suppose anything is possible". Its what I really meant.
Oh, and thanks for your post. One daughter has a Hero and another has a Pixi and they both are in need of a new phone. My son and I have Epics and we love them. For me though, I have found Swype so easy I hardly ever open my keyboard.

What do you mean waive activation. Can't I just go online and activate myself? Also, what do you mean "give you credits".

It's the nature of consumer electronics these days; fast depreciation. It's entire possible that this phone could go Eol in a few months. It is no longer the newest and fastest device on the block.
I wonder if there will be an "Epic 2", or at least a Galaxy S2 with a keyboard. Samsung seems to be releasing a new Galaxy S every year. I imagine we will have more information around late summer.

Crazy Deal! I say you go for the deal that gives you the free Lady Gaga CD.

I'm so pissed that I bought this phone a week ago. Now I have to waste $35 for a gay ass restocking fee. I'm never upgrading my phone through Sprint store again. I'll just do it online now since it doesn't have this gay fee.

Evo 3d
$199
on contract!!!

I think my father's actually planning on getting an Epic in the next week or two. He is impressed with mine and frustrated beyond belief with his old blackberry. His contract is up so at zero cost I expect him to be happy with this. And honestly, a 1ghz phone that will be running GB in the near future w/ a 4in screen and a 5-row keyboard. There's very little that compares.

nice deal, i'll pick one up

Would you still recommend buying an EVO?

Hey guys,
I used to have an HTC Hero, but it died on me and I had to switch back to my several years old Blackberry 8330. I have the opportunity to get the EVO but I'm trying to do some research. I have seen a lot of reviews talking about poor battery life, but I can't really tell if that issue has been fixed since the launch with the new updates. The phone itself looks great compared to my old Hero. Thanks guys.

I would. I also put my money where my mouth is. I bought one 2 months ago and just bought my wife one last week.
Battery life can be fixed with rooting and a custom rom and kernel or just buy the ext. battery.
I'm running Ultimate droid 3.3.1 (GB AOSP) with the tiamat 4.0.4 SBC kernel and a 2200mha battery. I have no problems getting 24 hours out of mine ( I may get better but I'm used to plugging in a phone overnight because I had a Blackberry that had to be plugged in every night)

I had the EVO 4G for almost a year, wouldn't recommend any one to get one now. I'd tell true tech enthusiasts who want an android phone to get the Nexus S 4G now, and the average user to wait for the EVO 3D to come out in 3 weeks.

I've had the EVO since release. That following day.. seriously, I was heading to E3 with this phone the record and take pictures. knowing ahead of time what kind of battery life to expect (thanks to advanced reviews.) I not only bought a spare battery, but an external battery as well....
...I barely had enough juice to last me through a day.
Fast forward to now. (or yesterday... wait, what is today.. thursday?) And battery life isn't nearly as terrible. if I use the hell out of my phone, using an undervolted Kernel, not overclocked with brightness stuck at 40% and wifi turned on (not 4G) I might be able to squeeze 12hrs out of a single battery. MIGHT... that, again, HEAVY usage. like, lots of games, texts, checking facebook, pictures, etc. light usage, easily all day. definitely NOT a battery sipping phone by any means...but, it did get better.
if you have the chance to get an EVO for cheap, DO IT. it's a fantastic phone with a HUGE community. If this is through Sprint as an upgrade. Wait, there are a few phones over the horizon that, frankly, frightening me a little in that I think it might refuse operation and cut off oxygen supply to the living quarters (EVO3D and Galaxy S II, AKA: Galaxy Within. AKA: HAL 9000)

If I were you, I would probably wait for the EVO 3D which is just around the corner. The EVO is a great phone, and I will probably have mine another year because I'm still under contract. But since the EVO 3D is right around the corner, the EVO will lose support soon IMO. This can already be seen by the gingerbread update. Still sense 1.0...
Plus the 3D has dual core processors, among other things, which sounds pretty cool.
EDIT: Or wait for a different new phone, but as fast as technology improves I personally would not buy a phone that has been out for a year.

If your contract is up and you can get an upgrade, I'd go for the 3d. But if not and you're just buying the phone off someone, then you can't lose.

dude i would be on top of that evo like white on rice, i dont even think ill try to change mine for like another year, its just so customizable and overall complete, battery life is pretty good, not the best but its by no means bad. i get 12 to 30 depending on use

Hey guys,
Should have mentioned that I would not be buying this from Sprint. I bought my Hero in February 2010, and it died on me before the first year. I don't want to sign a new contract.

ok... then... froma friend? craigslist? what are you going to be paying?
$100? do it. $150? probably do it. $200.... ehh... that is where it starts getting touchy for me.
Personally, I wouldn't go above $150 just because there are other things coming.

If you can get one for a good price I say do it, its a great phone.

I've had my EVO since release day and have never regretted it. I love this phone. I will be upgrading to the EVO 3D if everything is OK with it. (Unlocked bootloader, Developer Support, etc)
I bought my wife an EVO yesterday to replace her POS Samsung Moment. She is thrilled! Soon lots of people will be selling their EVOs to upgrade to the EVO3D or other Sprint Android phone. I got my wife's from a guy that was forced to switch to AT&T by his employer. Got a perfect condition Hardware version 003 EVO with a screen protector, Otterbox, 3 batteries (2 extended and the original), an AC battery charger, and an extra USB cable for $250.
If you are planning to buy an EVO and not upgrading, I'd go for it. Unless you want to wait for the EVO3D. Soon you will be able to find EVOs cheap!

Yea buddy its so customizable I don't even really see myself as having jus 1 phone cuz ima flashoholic n change roms pretty much every other week n some roms fit the mood I'm in like if I wanna watch netflix n I kno ima be bored going somewhere I flash back to a 2.2 rom so I can watch but if not I'm on mik g v1.0 anywho I'm mo in love with my evo now than I was when I 1st got it

Evo is the best phone you could ever ask for. Hands down will go down in history lol unless of course they top the evo n 3D in the future lol
"Perfect is almost good enough"

I just purchased my Evo off a friend for 100$ a few days ago, and i've been playing with it non stop ever since.(rooting, flashing all sorts of roms, updating radio and wimax)
If you get a good enough deal, i'd say it's worth it.
And I replaced a moment with it, dear god what an upgrade.

just do it
its a sweet phone, im rooted with a 3500mAh battery and I've been gettin 1 day+ on sense 2.1 & 3.0 Roms, 2+ days on stock. if you aren't trying to get the evo 3D then the EVO is the next best thing (I know the nexus is bad ass and all, but I'm a HUGE sense fan, so I couldn't go with stock android)

Feels like a ghost town

Wow this forum has really quieted down.. unfortunately my cash situation doesn't allow me the funds for my 3vo yet but it will be in my hands as soon as i can but has everyone jumped ship or is in my kind of situation and have to wait it out a bit?
Know this is another useless thread but what the hell right? Can't stand reading the 3vo threads and I know I'm not alone.

Neva lol. Evo3d all the way. Don't get me wrong the evo was a ground breaking device on many levels and received many great reviews but it doesn't have duals running at 1.2 and a gig of ddr ram plus 2 or 4 gb of internal mem. And when Cm7 get released for it man it will be one bad as device

Couldn't agree more. I liked the evo but it still lacked. 3vo ftw

I'll definitely be around. Not going to do the hero like that. Too much history.

im not going anywere, anytime soon i cant upgrade till later next year, but im grandfathered into one of the best contracts in cell phone history and if i early upgrade ill have to get a new one.
129$ a month for umlimted everything on 2lines you cant beet that.
so im more than happy with my hero as long as i have that lol.

I am here, my upgrade isn't until January so I will be here a while. FWIW if you did want to consider an EVO now, it is free at best buy as an upgrade.

$99 at Best Buy for upgrade. I was contemplating whether to get the 3D or the Evo 4G. I couldn't pass up the dual core processor with 3D camera. Now that I have the 3D I would have kicked myself for getting the Evo 4G

Come on! This phone is super fast.
My Hero is now lifeless! Poor thing.
Surprisingly, I didn't have many complaints with my Hero. But I do think a lot of people will end up moving to the Evo 4G that can't get the 3D, just because it is cheaper now. Just like when the price of the Hero went down, we got an influx of people in this forum.

Some random thoughts:
1) What's up with all these people who get the latest phone on launch day. I got my hero when it came out in fall of '09, so I'm not due for an upgrade, Much less an early upgrade, till September or so.
2) I thought I'd pick up a cheap used evo 4g for a while to tide me over till the next gen of dual cores in late fall but they're still expensive on Craigslist. Anybody want $100 cash for their evo ;-)
3) If I did get an evo, I'd have to pay the $10/mo 4g tax when we don't even have 4g in Milwaukee. That's like flushing $120 down the toilet.
So no, I'm not going anywhere. Frankly, I'm happy with my heroc running cm7.

I'm still here until October (maybe) but I'm sort of glad it's quieted down, I need to spend less time tinkering with my phone anyway.
I'm waiting for the next dual core after the 3vo or if rumors are true maybe an iPhone although I'm fully integrated with Google, I'm still a Mac user.
Plus I got hit by a truck so I'm not participating much anyway.

i only use cyanogen and mess around with random prls thats about as much tinkering i do lol.
serously cyanogen is all i need in a phone everything works and its up to date with software the only thing i ever use my phone for now a days since i got my laptop is tethering phone calls and texts lol.

Hardly a 4G tax anymore as they apply it to all new activations. It's a rate hike, but you'll be hard pressed to find better rates on a major carrier.

Best Buy Evo's - Stock 2.2 - New

So many people talking about getting a new Evo 4G from other places, and having them already updated to 2.3.
You are NOT out of luck!! Thought I'd post this for an FYI.
Best Buy seems to be your best shot at a new Evo 4G still on 2.2 Stock. I've gone through 4 now from them (had hardware issues on 2) and all have come out of the box with 2.2.
I asked the CSM helping me to not do anything to the phones...I'd prefer to power em on. Got home, cancelled update...Stock 2.2 ready for Root / Flashin.
If you're in the market for a new Evo 4G...check Best Buy first. With a little polite direction, you should have the same experience.
The Tulsa OK store I frequent had at least 20 or so left in stock...

I just bought one from my local best buy and it was 2.3.3 out of box. It was the last one the store will have also. You are very lucky

Wish I could take mine up there, but I just got one from Sprint this week that they sent me to replace my Epic. Ah well I guess I will have to wait like everyone else for root.

I work for Best Buy and can honestly if anyone gets a 2.2 in DFW, consider yourself lucky. My refurb through the Black Tie Protection came with 2.3.3.
I can say however that my battery is absolutely amazing.

A friend of mine has bought two from bestbuy. First one returned due to software issue and the newest going back to extreme light bleed. Both on 3.70 software. You can get lucky at some bestbuys. I think the more rural ones may have left over stock that has been sitting for a while. Two in a row that are not updated are pretty good odds.

I got an Evo 4G a week ago from BB, brand new out of the box. Had 2.3.3 already installed. I had been thinking of going back and trying to find one with 2.2 and claiming hardware/software issues on one until I find one. This gives me hope.

Do I have to have purchased my evo at best buy to take my evo there for a replacement?

I got 2 Evos at the start of this month, and I didnt know about the 2.3.3 thing so in short both of them, one white and one black were 2.2 and me being a geek updated without researching.
Last friday had to go back with mine because of a small hairline crack the body had around the volume down and of course they said besides that the phone is working and I was ready to fight, but before I even started talking he said, "but you still on your 30 days exchange so if you want to just change it, i can do that" and so I did and this also was 2.2, I said "just activate it, I don't want to update it, cuz mine ran sluggier than my wifes and thats the only difference, she didnt get the update and i did" He was like, ok that makes sense. check it and see if that was your problem...
On my local store they didn't seem to have a shortage or anything, I saw him pulling it out of a nice stock of EVO's.

Same here in NY. My buddy and I got Evos in a local BB Mobile and they both had 2.2 on it. The Rep who was taking care of me almost updated the phones until the manager and I both told her not too. The manager is a personal friend of mine whom I do rooting of devices for. ;-)

I got my Evo about a month ago with 2.2 installed. At the time I was totally unaware that updating would lock me out. Good thing I didn't

I bought mine at the Best Buy in Rockwall, which is a DFW store. They had about 30 with 2.2 and 30 with 2.3 and they gave a wide open choice on it 2 weeks ago.

Anyone else fed up with the Locked Down 2.3.3? I'm about to trade for a Nexus.

I've been fighting with my phone for it to work properly ever since the 2.3.3 upgrade and I'm about to toss it out the window for a Nexus S. I'm just hoping someone on craigslist will be willing to trade. Any comments on this decision? What are your opinions of the Nexus S, especially compared to the Evo 4g...
Also, have any of you traded phones to save money? If I make this trade I will have made 7 trades in the last year, without paying a penny and using basically every high-end android phone sprint has/had to offer. (Also, someone was dumb enough to trade me their epic for my hero. I warned them about the downgrade they were making, but they wanted the phone for its size.)

I'm fed up as well. you might as well trade!

i just traded my Evo for a Nexus S4G...i love the phone, very fast and responsive...the screen is awesome...the radios suck...they just updated and tbh i havent noticed any difference...sum have and sum havent...i miss sense though...i have found all the apps to reproduce wat sense does for my phone...none work as good as sense though...easy to root/unroot...maybe 5 roms total available...lol will be a shock coming from the Evo to be sure...customizing isnt a priority for the devs in the nexus formums it seems...they like it pure...which is fine but kinda boring...
overall i am happy, just wish the radios were better...i only got the NS4G as a stop gap waiting on sumthing better to hit sprint to use my upgrade on...i put my Evo on craigslist and it wasnt in gr8 condition either, had 20 replys by morning...traded less than 16 hours after posting it...hope this helps, spend sum time on the xda forum for the NS4G before you jump though...wish i would have now...good luck

yeah i feel your pain, i had a rooted evo and it broke, so i had to return it for a new one and got one with the update already on it so im using my upgrade for the new motorola photon....i'm going to miss my evo....

I wouldn't even trade on CL. If you have tep you can just exchange it. The tep program allows for exchange of the Evo for the nexus or shift. I was on my first Evo refurb with the locked bootloader with screen separation and a week vibrator motor and I said f*#k it and asked for a nexus. They said sure, but were out of stock. So they're sending me a new Evo in the box to hold me over and then sending me the nexus in two weeks.. all free. And if you don't have tep, just talk nice with a Sprint rep and see what they can do.

I'm sick of my camera locking up after 3 or 4 pictures and then rebooting. No root does make this phone just as boring as any other.

I'll sit tight and hold off. I'm thinking about it myself, but I noticed there's still someone working on it.

Ok I have been with sprint for less than a week. I came from att. Switched for lower price that's it! With att for just over a year and had a iphone 3gs, iphone 4, dell streak twice, samsung captivate twice, htc inspire, samsung infuse and motorola atrix. Damn that's alot. Anyways, I kinda know my way around a phone. If you guys and gals (I assume) got your hands on a htc infuse you would feel so different about a evo. I got 3 lines all with evos for free plus a port in credit of $375. I had my evo for 2 days! I am not bashing anyone that likes or has a evo at all. This is my opinion. I returned that and got a NS4G, granted I love me a big ol phone, but damn! I am running decks 1.3b with matr1x kernel oc'ed to 1.44 and uv'ed and get a quad of almost 3000! I know the test don't mean crap but I was blown away. No fc's or nothing! Its butter smooth and can get a day of moderate use easy. Plus the screen is so rich in colors. The one con I have is reception, buts it don't help where my house is. It is a very nice phone.
Honestly, if you can't live without sense don't do it cause you wont want to go back. If you don't care for sense, then you should pick one up cause bestbuy has them for free! Plus it is so flippin easy to root.

ill jsut hold out for now, i am VERY tempted to just buy a rooted one off ebay in the meantime, but if im gonna change my evo i want it to be for a lte dual core beast next year, i wont use the upgrade now, id rather spend 150 bucks ona used evo on ebay for now, but we MIGHT get root eventually , agrabren seems to be working on porting the xploit but no such luck so far, so lets see what happens before christmas

The Nexus S was okay nothing like the N1 i got tired of it locking up and the video recording quality sucks id go to the Evo 3D. I been happy with that phone.

I really love my evo to death but this replacement is killing me, hoping for root soon!

Roms are flying around like crazy in the 3d forums and its been s off for a little over 24 hours.

I loved m EVO before it got replaced due to a routine test failing, now I'm stuck on 2.3 w/ no root. There is a problem with the vibration in the one they gave me however. How much is the Photon running..maybe I'll look into that or making the trade for the Shift.

Add me to the list, I walked blindly into this mess . My Hero finally croaked on me (had been limping it along for months on a intermittent digitizer + generally terrible performance due to getting wet 'why get insurance when you've never destroyed a phone before' Murphy's law? lol) and just bought an Evo 4G knowing it was already a year old, but still looked pretty well spec'd and they were willing to give me a much better early upgrade price on it vs. the Nexus S. First thoughts, holy crap this thing is fast coming from the Hero, but by the end of the work day Friday I was chomping at the bit to get home and start trying some ROMs, specifically the Synergy + Godmode, only to hit a brick wall before even getting started.
I love the phone, but not being able to get rid of all the crapware and mess with different ROMs sucks.
