I'm considering posting a Craigslist ad in my city (Houston) to see if anyone would be interested in straight up trading me their epic 4g for my Evo 4g. After having my Evo for a while I've decided that I indeed do need and want a keyboard. Full touch screen is not all the way for me. What do you all think?

I would consider it. Pm me so we can talk about it.

Evo for epic doesn't seem like a fair trade if you ask me. How about throwing in some cash to get people intrests...just saying.
Id post it and see what happens. When I was selling my Evo I got several offers to trade my Evo for another Epic, as well as some that offered me an epic with cash and extras. However, I wanted the cash over a second Epic and eventually found a better offer. You gotta keep in kind that while many see the Epic as a superior phone over the Evo, especially on these forums, there are many out there that see it the other way around.

even though I like my epic, I think a straight up trade is fair.

Hello all, I'm looking for a Samsung epic for sale between 150 & 200$ if anyone has one or has seen a deal like that would you kindly tell me? I love my hero but its about time to upgrade to bigger and better things,

There's this website called eBay.com that might have what you're looking for.
Good luck with your phone buying goals for 2011 OP!
Also try craigslist for your location.
I've looked on eBay, way outta my price range, and no one is selling the epic on Craigslist for my area

You're not going to find one for that price unless something is wrong with
Don't know why someone would sell you one for that price when they can easily get more for it on ebay or CL.

Got mine for $200 a few months back off of Ebay. It is difficult to find them for that price, but not impossible.. The good news is there are a lot of people in this forum who want to stick it to Samsung, maybe they will do what they keep saying they are going to do and sell.

Yeah, I'm sure that's how someone would stick it to Samsung, sell their phone for less than half of what it's supposedly worth and then can't buy another phone.... If you're that dumb you deserved to be screwed by Samsung!
If you are up for an upgrade through sprint then I believe that the epic is selling on amazon for $99. Not sure if it works with an upgrade or if it is only for new customers but it might be worth checking out
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I would consider a trade... Only for a pristine, mint evo... Black, not white
Ill have to look at amazon for that, and if already had the evo I wouldn't be trying to get an epic though I would trade if I did, I like the epic more lol I wouldn't want the black evo ne way white is so much better IMO

With all the angry people on this site you should be able to find someone. But, If they sell their phone what would they have to complain about anymore. I'm just puzzled why they didn't take their phones back within the 30 day refund period? Well good luck. I hope you read all the threads before you buy one so you know what your getting. I have eb13 and my phone runs great. I still think this is the best phone I have had so far. Just my $.02
Yeah I hear its a great phone, and its everything I want in a phone, great size all around awesome keyboard brilliant display, all that, granted Samsung might not be the best, but they can make a damn sexy phone and to the amazing Guy, my upgrade is in November, and thru radioshack its 150 so ill prolly have to wait till then, unless I can find a better deal,

Hey guys.
I currently have both an evo an an epic. In your honest opinion, which is worth more to sell? (I don't mean support etc I mean dollar value.)
Thanks
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Hmm...well, they both go for the same price (after rebates) at the Sprint store. Obviously this is an Evo forum...I think the Evo would go for more, but it really depends on who answers your ad.
If I were you, I'd sell the Epic, just because I think you'd get more interest in a phone with a physical keyboard...
pretty sure epic is priced higher if u buy without an upgrade or discounts
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Probably get a little more for the epic which is a win for u cause I would rather keep and use the evo.

Hey guys, I've been wondering about something recently. Does anyone know sprint's policy on phone exchanges? Basically, I have an epic and this is my 3rd replcement phone which is STILL going crazy. I was wondering since this is my 3rd phone should I try waiting till the nexus s 4g comes out to replace with that since its a "similar phone"? Or should I just exchange now for whatever? Thanks
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
slim and no chance of exchanging it for a nexus imho. they will just change it out for another epic
Its like a crazy number of replacements before they will give you a new one, let alone upgrade. Doesn't hurt to tty though. I have better luck when calling
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
What I would do is go ahead and take it in and get a replacement. Hopefully the next one won't go all crazy on you. Then, if you really want the Nexus S, when it comes out, sell your Epic and use that money to put towards the Nexus.
There is no comparable replacement to the Epic (yet), so you'll keep getting Epics if they are exchanged. Nexus S will not be comparable.

Doesn't matter... Sprints not going to just give you one of there next top phones to replace an older supposed top of the line that did live up to its potential. Not with out a fight at least.
As one of the other relies stated it takes a lot of trade ins before they would offer you a different phone.
It took me 8 Treo 800w's(3 in one visit) and about a weeks worth of calling customer services and retentions before they finally gave me a Treo Pro as a replacement.
They even wanted me to use my early upgrade about a month early. I did get to stick of to them a month later... used my upgrade to get the Pre(lol) and sold the Pro for 300$.

Sent from my EVO 3G
Hello,
I've owned an EVO since its release date last year and have recently upgraded to the EVO 3D. I like my EVO still becaue it is rooted and great to run AOSP ROMs. But now that I have the 3D I see little use to run any Sense ROMs because Sense 3.0 on the E3D is just so far superior. Anyhow, I am considering trading/selling my EVO for a NS4G and wanted to get the opinions from those of you that have used/own both.
Thanks in advance.
As long as you aren't going for a contract to get the Nexus S 4G, i'd say go for it. As usual, an new nexus is rumored to be right around the corner (Few months?).
Also, Sprint will be pushing a new update for the NS4G that will (should) fix alot of the problems people are having with the radios.
I will got for the nexus own it and love it as aosp but the 3d kick ass with the UI
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d

It would be a Craigslist trade or something along those lines, so no contract. I just feel like the EVO and EVO3D are so similar that its not worth having both.
tapa tapa tapa
Get the nexus s; I say let go of your evo 4g so that way if you get tired of driving the hummer (evo 3d) you can pull out your lexus (nexus s) lol. Whats the point of having 2 large phones that are very similar?
Sprint has a tradein prgram...$150 for your EVO 4G....
My wife has the ns4g and be have an evo I would say as long as it's a straight trade go for it. Ns4g is better than the evo in alot of ways but not better enough to shell out cash for. Does oc to 1.4 stable.

Main reason is that I cam trade my EVO with a little bit of cash for a nexus. The SGS2 is demanding a lot of money right now and probably will continue to do so. In addition, if I want the SGS2 I can swap the nexus or 3D for that when it becomes available.

Exactly , so I think you'd be better off waiting. As previously stted, 150$ buy back at sprint on the evos, so you could trade it towards a galaxy s II or something else by that time.
After how HTC handled their last update for the EVO, I'd wait for Galaxy to arrive. Although Samsung's performance with their update for the previous version was not stellar either. But, I think they are being more proactive now.
Hey guys, my epic 4g broke recently (hardware issue) and Sprint has offered me 2 options. First, I can wait for the Epic to ship to the nearby store, which will take until Wednesday next week. Second, I can pick up an EVO 3D from them tomorrow morning.
I really like having a keyboard like on the 4g, and I really do like the OLED screen, but the EVO has a decent LCD screen with a nice resolution (960x540) and has a dual core processor. (3D too, I guess, but my guess is I'll only play around with the 3D features)
What would you guys do if you were in my situation?

Never had a 3d but had an evo 4g since launch. The lcd density is nice upgrade but the phone still weighs 170 grams while as ET4G IS only 130 grams and iphone 4s is 140g. And hardware on the ET4G is newer such as the exonos is blazing compared to qualcaom chipsets.

If the Evo is on hboot 1.5, then don't get it if you want root easily. Otherwise, I think it's a worthy upgrade.

Get the EVO 3D, sell it, then you can buy another Epic 4G for about $150 and pocket the remainder for when your are upgrade eligible and use the money towards your next upgrade.
id take the epic again unless they let you pick a nexus. I went in after my 4th broken epic and they didnt so much as give me a chance to try and get a different handset, but im betting if they let you take an Evo 3d over an Epic they will let you take a nexus S.

No clue why anyone would buy the Epic touch, After what happened with this phone and its update/software issues, even if the epic touch is fast in hardware, i guarentee in 6 months when you are supposed to get your ICS update you will be regretting your purchase. Screw samsung. Only go with nexus.
