Lol. I remember back in 04 a recruiter came to my high school and was trinh to sign people up and baiting them with a free army of one video game.

That army of one video game was the ****! Well, as far as learning how to shoot and maintain your rifle goes. LOL...I used to fail at shooting just so I could sit in a nice warm room playing video games while everyone else was freezing and laying in the mud.
When I joined...they offered me a backpack and a track suit. Both of which I never received.
Through in a free case for that iPhone and you got a deal! Ya know ill need reception to call for back up. I can't wait to have those touching moments with the front cam like they do in the commercials.
So yeah, they will give you a free phone, but they are going to charge you for all your clothes and gear. That stuff is way more expensive than a phone. Back in the day, the gear was all free.
When I was at Fort Lost in the Woods I didn't get jack crap. I had a good time granted the learning of US weapons and explosives, and night training, and MRE's, and well physical fitness. But not a damn phone cheap bastards. I guess before the Bush admin we got a half-million dollar life insurance policy upgrade. So I always have that....

When I was in basic they gave us a notebook and told us to "fire up out recruit laptops" when they wanted us to pull them out and study our general orders or whatever. I got screwed.

Well look at it this way you won't get squat if either Iran, or N. Korea goes hot. I'll see you all at the local draft board(yes they still exist). When I enlisted we still ate c-rations, and Jimmy Carter was still in the White House.

Anyways, giving your life away saving someone elses country will never be worth an iphone, evo, or a million dollars in my opinion. Too much worrying about what goes on in the world and not enough fixing our own country talked me out of a 50 thousand dollar sign on bonus for a 6 year enlistment. It just isnt worth dying over religious belief conflicts.

I predict every new smart phone from Sprint will have 4G and its 10 dollar up-charge.
eh, im somewhat ok with that. if all their androids come with 4g and the 10 dollar charge, then im mad.
I hope it's not very heavy...

I predict that every newer technology will be better than old technology and if you're always waiting for the new thing, you'll never get the new thing. Stop waving your e-penis. Buy the toys and tools you want. Yours isn't better than mine if I can do cooler things with it. Etc...
I have a Hero. I love it. I want an Evo. It'll be outdated soon. New stuff will come out and I'll want it. It will be outdated soon. Notice the pattern?

I doubt every new smart phone will - just because BlackBerry seems lazy.
Now in 2 years - yes every smartphone will...
BTW: How do you define smart phone? BB is not in my definition of smart...but it seems to be in everyone else's.
I'm glad I got new golf clubs for father's day instead of the Evo! I think I made the right choice. I am seeing something very nice like this in my Christmas stocking instead!
I can't stopping laughing.

agree.. i don't consider a BB a smart phone at all..
on a side note, why do people still cry over $10 extra for 4G??? so what if its not in your area right now.. chances are most people that don't have it in their area at the moment will travel to areas that do have the coverage, and sprint isn't gonna let u use it for free.. and besides.. it's only $10 a month.. try this, save yourself from eating a McDonalds value meal twice each month and you got your $10 covered. not really that big of a deal..

McDonals = $10 per trip for me....stupid mcflurries. I am a fat kid in a skinny kids body.
I never go to mcdonalds, and hardly ever go eat anywhere else for that matter.
Even if you travel somewhere with 4g, how long will most people be there to use it? Id rather them turn the 4g radio off and not pay the $10. I assume it would save battery power for those with no 4g in our area.

I knew my area was limited on 4G and I still bought the Evo 4G.
I have patience to wait for 4G in my area, this isn't "defrauding". Some people just have way too much flipping time on their hands and want to cause rukus whenever they find a chance to.
Losers.
I love my Evo 3G!!!
I think the fee is alright if there is 4g in the future, but seriously I'm in detroit and nothing on the horizon so far....they are throwing 4g in these podunk towns and ignoring major metropolitan areas....what gives?
Dear Bailey Perrin Bailey:
Go get yourselves coited. You bought the EVO knowing that there were limited areas that 4G was working, and you were free to look up those areas on Sprint's site anytime. You bought the EVO knowing that there would be a $10 premium data charge whether or not you had access to a 4G network.
You made choices using the information available and now you must deal with them.
Angrily Yours,

Dear Sprint:
I believe you are about to be a defendant in a class action suit. It seems that this suit is based on laws that revolve around what a reasonable person might be able to ascertain based on facts available.
In other words, I am a reasonable person, and I knew both that 4G wasn't available at my home or office, and that I would still be paying $10 extra per month for premium data. What's more, I am perfectly happy with my decision.
If you need someone to testify on your behalf, call me.

I'm going to be the plaintiff of record in a class action suit against McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, Hardee's, Carl's Jr., Jack-in-the-Box, and every other fast food restaurant chain.
The suit will seek damages of over 99 Billion for failing to serve food that looked exactly like the photographs on the menu boards and in television commercials. Despite the fact that we voluntarily ate the food in question, we believe we have been defauded of our money because the food wasn't quite as appealing as we were led to believe.

I honestly think people ***** too much for some sort of subliminal negative reflection on there purchase. Nobody put a gun to your head to make such a purchase. I'm sure some of you know how to read the small print before you buy right? If not I'm saddened how ignorant some people are. Big company's are shady as ****, that's why they are loaded. No such thing as a legit salesman. Everyone in general and will ALWAYS look out for themselves first. So the people mad about some bull**** 4g excuse and you hate your EVO, need to stick with cheaper phones.

people who filed this are morons
What lawsuit would they file? All the tools available for a customer to check if "4g" is available are at their disposal. A judge would laugh at them if this somehow made it to a court, which it won't. Just like my customer today who said she is recording me to place me on the news, I sincerely told her I gave her no permission to record and hung up.... idiots.

I have not used it, but an app called Plan B got released recently. It will find your phone even if you did not install it before it got stolen.
Again, i have not used it, but I think your google account still has to be associated with the phone, so you may want to try it before whoever stole it resets it. (not sure, but guessing)
I know you said gps told you its in the apartments, but Im guessing it wont show you which one? Even if it does not tell you which apartment, see it if will get you close. I read that Plan B will send the location every 10 minutes, so you could watch to see if it moves. For example, if you know its on one of the apartments, see who comes and goes, and if in that time period any of the find your phone apps tell you its moving, at least you can figure out who has it...
thats what I would do at least
if you try any of the above, let us know the results

Your just walking near the apartments and drop your keys or something a nice guy takes it and gives it to you. you thank him and start talking. you get your email from PLAN B
the location it tells you is the guy next to you.

we have received a new one for the expensive 130 dollar deductible and activated a new sim today so we will never tell if it moves again.

Saw this as a comment on an androidcentral post about the within:
Listen up and listen good cuz I don't lie or play when it comes to this stuff... Sprint Is kicking but this year and will continue that but kicking like none of you can imagine. I am a sprint employee work at the West Hollywood Store in CA. It's the flagship store for the west coast Dan Hesse frequents our store device's come through our store sometimes up to 5 months before a rumor about it hits the internet. This is a HUGE year for sprint if you understand business in the least bit you know corporate change takes time. If you can't see the changes sprint has made and continue to make for the better than your just blind or don know what to look for. I know some of you may call me bias and your right I am. But only to one thing and that's customer experience. I love that SPRINT by maintaining is price plans is forcing AT& T and T-Mob todo stuff like the 70 dollar unlimited data even if it is capped. Yes thee above pic is the GS2 i've held it. YES it will be 4G yes we are getting a keyboard version as well as the standard GS2. Yes that phone will also be 4G and dual core not single core. The its not for certain it will be the epic2 or called epic at all. Yes the GS2 is a vicious competitor for the Evo 3D from personal experience I still think the Evo 3D is better. I prefer sense over touch anything I trust htc more than samsungs when it comes to mobile anything and the internal update system htc uses not having to wait for sprint like the last two patches they did for the 3d speaks volumes. Add htcsense.com to that and better build quality and you begin to edge out the competition. Admittedly not by much with the GS2 but still its an edge. As far as the YouTube comparisons of the GS2 to the Sensation to gauge it again the 3D, don't make me laugh the 3D itself makes the sensation look the same way. In no way am I denying the amazingness that is the GS2 I just PREFER htc that's all. Last but not least the GS2 is really really fast it was a tad and I do mean a TAD faster than my 3D but..... My Evo is jam packed 6 email accounts syncing about 80 apps 7 custom scenes setup the whole 9 and the GS2 was but naked not even signed into a gmail account. I say that today this when you watch these comparison vids take into account what may or may not be on the devices in question in terms of data info etc... Once you get these devices in hand your speed milage Will vary depending on how much you throw at your device. It's a good time to be with sprint I'm not even going to get into the improvements happening to the network ill save that for another post. And oh yeah in case you were skeptical on the matter we are absolutely getting the iphone so tell all your apple juice drinking buddies that VZ and AT&T's are numbered it'll be here before you know it. The real question is will it be 4G and honestly even I don't have that answer................ Yet. PS if your in the LA area and you want to switch to sprint I can give you 125 dollar port in credit... Yes we pay YOU 125.00 bucks to KEEP your number give me a shout PM me. Duece

I trust nothing of what that guy wrote. Everytime someone claims to have advanced knowledge they are wrong completely. Why the eff would sprint bring rumored phones around a retail store before they are even announced? That just makes no sense. I have dealt with enough sprint employees who "have the scoop" and turn out to be collosal nitwits before to believe that some random sprint store employee got the scoop on sprint getting the iphone.
I do think he is a sprint employee though because every sprint employee I have ever dealt with is a huge fanboy of the evo.

"I helped my uncle jack off a horse."
"I helped my Uncle Jack off a horse."
So does capitalization.

I work for a regional electronics and appliance chain, that is becoming a full device sprint dealer this fall. At a training event for sales reps the sprint trainer brought up an iphone 5 variant for sprint a few times. Interesting to hear it from this guy as well. Although if I had to guess, they are both misreading it, and all we are likely to see is the new prepaid iphone version coming out for virgin.

I hate when people say the EVO 3d is a better phone than SG2 even though across the board SG2 eats 3d. Granted htc sense 3.0 is sexy, but MIUI is better
Sprint's overall phone lineup is strong with or without the iPhone. It has been for a while. The issues are that they have to quickly maintain and improve their network and hold prices and plans to the attractive level they are now. I don't believe in corporate hype, I believe in underpromising and overdelivering. Sprint did that in the years I've been with them.
Now they have to continue so they can grow and poach away customers who get sick of being robbed by Verizon and AT&T. But without the network that's going to be even harder to do. Take my neighborhood for example--coverage here is poor, Sprint probably has no customers other than people like me who figured out how to force roam, or those who have Airaves. And it's doubtful any new towers are planned, so they better get busy on these network improvement miracles, because reasonably priced unlimited 4G makes no difference to those who can't get it.
Wow.. it's actually true.. I am going to get sad..
Unlike a forum for a certain car, like My old Mustang or M3, I know this will be a forever goodbye as I will never get another EVO..
I'm leaving..
After enough BS with Sprint, the promises of 4G, I'm done..
T-mobile, which is lightning fast for my area (down load speeds of 9-12 are not un common)
is having a sale this weekend.. Free phones.. any of them..
i'm getting the GSII
and pretty excited.
But I realized.. For over a year I've been modding and theming, roming, kerneling and radioing with you guys..
Now, its over..
It sucks because there is almost no development for the GSII on T-mobile..
I was gonna wait for the Nexus that Sprint said was going to come this month, now they say mid 2012..
Plus, ZERO LTE.. I don't trust them..
Either way.. I'm out..
thanks for all the help and to dev's you guys are awesome..
P.S. selling my EVO for 50 bucks..
Good luck and totally understand why you're doing this. What I find truly sad is that an awesome phone like the Evo sells for $50, yet an outdated POS like iPhone 3G still sells for $200+ on craigslist.

So true...
SO DAMN TRUE..
Damn, 50$? That's a steal. If I weren't in such dire straits right now I'd love to relieve you of it. I'm sure its kinda sad to ho. I've been a member/participant of the Evo forum since before it was even available. Its been a great ride. Enjoy your Sammy (I wish you a better experience than I or my family and friends have had with Sammy phones)

yeah its crazy what sprint's doing (nothing). I moved to a new town, a few towns over from where I was living, and last year it was great, the data speeds. A few months ago, garbage. Still, garbage. I've been with sprint for 12 years...and i'm considering moving to another carrier. I feel like gsm will be my next step. i'm so pissed that they're running this company into the ground. wimax was such a bad idea.. i'm just gonna smoke a bowl and try to forget that it takes 10 minutes for my phone to download a facebook update, and google music barely ever streams properly.. yo at least the call quality is still superb though.
Not ALL the TMobile phones are free. The G SII is 229.00, according to their website
Totally understand the need for speed. Here in eastern NC, we're never gonna get 4G of any kind, so I'll stick with Sprint, as their service in this area is second to none and their prices are outstanding.
Gikd luck with the move. If you still feel the need I'm willing to take that evo off your hands. I can help you out with that. Let me know so sorryy to see you go. pm me.

Me too.. was with Sprint for 11 years..
I was suckered into the EVO.. Promised (by not only the sales guy but customer service too) that 4G would be in my area within month..
I was asked to pay 10 bucks more a month.... Call it what you want, it was for the 4G!!!
I was going to wait and get the Nexus as I was told its coming this month, I was even told LTE is going to be spread like a wild fire and by the end of 2012 it will be all over the united states..
Then go look at their site, they show a video of where LTE will be installed.. not even in my state..
I got this phone today.. Its sexy as hell.. My download speeds which I've done about 30 now, lol, vary from 22 down 5 up to the lowest of , 6 down 1.5 up..
It's unreal!!
Netflix,Slingplayer,HBO GO, everything is un real fast...

It's free today only.. Any phone in their store..
2 year contract, you do have to pay for it upfront, (figured that) and rebate it back..
Just like the damn EVO..
Either way.. this phone is sick!
Good luck with the switch, in your galaxy, far, far away.
pics of said evo's condition...please and thank you!
NetworkVision is going to make some huge improvements in 99% of places guys. Leaving sprint now is like leaving at the absolute worst of times and you'll miss out on the great times in the near future.
LTE will spread like wild fire and be complete by next years end.
Now if you have no problem going and paying more elsewhere and having data caps/throttling then more power to ya.
A site for some very solid sprint network info that I've run across is "s4grub.com" as there is a wealth of detailed information there, most of which you couldn't even get from sprint themselves.

Been hearing the same **** about "plain old" 4G for the last 3 years. Now miraculously Sprint is going to be "complete" with ANYTHING?
I won't hold my breath.
Or maybe I will at least until May when my Sprint contract is up....

Go to the site I linked and read up this is completely different than Wimax by far.
