I am in st. louis and would like to trade my Epic rooted with CM6 plus many extra accessories for an Evo, preferably the white one with the newer screen. but could be persuaded for a regular one LOL.
Thanks
Had enough of Samsung and their BS updates and broken gps huh? Ya, my epic is now collecting dust in my closet! Evo by far is the best between the two!

I would try and stay local man, if you can't drive to get it don't do it. No offense to anyone but I don't trust anyone on the internet and they shouldn't trust you.
As for activation, I was told that having CM on the phone can sometimes cause issues updating the PRL for the switch so you might have to odin it back to stock or flash a different ROM. I went to stock because I was worried about having it on a leaked build. However, with that said, the Evo I got was running a rom with a very custom boot animation (Fresh) and the rep mentioned how cool it looked and asked how he could get that.
yes.. I would stay local... for both party's saftey.
you can call it in to get it activated...
or you can do it online.. by creating an account with sprint.
from what I know.. I dont see why it would matter what ROM you might have on an EVO. the ESN is all that the carrier needs.

Are you willing to sell the epic?
sure, but I would have to buy an Evo locally and activate it before I could ship the Epic
I live 2hrs south, I could buy it or trade my daughters curve and throw in some money. PM if your interested.
Posting on Craigslist probably will give you some results also.
Ah, I wish you were in this Dallas area...I just paid for an Epic recently but I would've rather done a trade.
You might get more action in the marketplace forum as well

I have an add there as well, no traffic though
If u still have ur epic I'd drive 2/3 of the trip to trade u my Evo plus my extended seidio battery & the stock battery w/original box & cables. I'd be coming from OK but I was gonna be in Kansas in a couple weeks anyway.
I appreciate it, but I dont think I want a trade bad enough to drive a few hrs.
Thank you though

Screens pulling away from the housing (5th replacement). No worries there quick unroot and its good to go.
What's got me puzzled is that I was told that sprints still out of evos.. new and refurbished? I'm a bit pulled on this could have something to do with what's going on in Japan?
I understand the evo/android is popular but to still be out of stock is crazy

Don't the Sprint repair center carry replacements so even if they are out of stock you might still get one?

Sprint or Asurion? Or both? Asurion told me 14 days when I needed a replacement but actually got it to me in about 10. When I did get the phone, it was brand new and not a refurb, which made me happy and the well worth the wait.

I had the same issue, screen pulling away, this will be my third.

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.

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

1cent is TOO much. The Epic Sucks... I have the EVO and the base ROMs from Sprint are far superior than anything to date from Sprint/Samsung... I have tried almost every ROM for my wifes Epic and all she ever says is that one thing or another doesn't work and why can't she have the same software Sense or AOSP that I run on my EVO... I wish I knew the answer.... If Amazon sells out, I will probably give my wife my EVO (as I pre-ordered the EVO 3D) and sell hers for 1 penny. Hopefully I can sell it.

Wouldn't make much sense to charge $199 for both the Evo 3d and OG EVo

Didn't know about Best Buy for $100 until today.
My wife got hers last week for $199, wouldn't you know, they lowered the price. I just got off the phone with Sprint and they credited my account the $50.
Of course, if they hadn't, I would have had her return it as "I didn't like it" under Sprints 30 Day guarantee and then gone to Best Buy. She doesn't need 3D and its easier to maintain 2 identical phones.
Best Buy's website has it at $49.99 when I just checked. My NS4G is going back along with the $100 going back in my wallet. I'm within my initial 30 days and this is my second NS4G and the radio still sucks. I didn't want to go with a yr old phone, but it performs great and just got the official GB update so it's still well supported by HTC and Sprint. White Evo 4G will be in my pocket tomorrow.
Saw it at sams today for $99.00

Done Done and Done....
Went by the local BB this morning and picked one up for him @ $50 was in and out within 15 minutes. Told the guy..."No need to take any more of your time...I'll activate it myself". There were a couple phones having the activation and UPDATE done..
Activated and now rooted..good times.
Went to Sprint to check on my replacement of the replacement EVO (BAD screen) they replaced last Friday..no go and phone calls to customer service etc have yet to get me a NIB phone..will deal with that. Guess I was a little frustrated..on the way out I saw three couples looking at the EVO and proceeded to exclaim..."Might want to go across the street to BB and get yours for $50 instead". Probably should have just kept quiet, but felt better as two of the three followed me out the store.
Sweet how did u get it for fifty did u have to motor boat
I'll cut to the chase.
I'm on Verizon currently mulling a switch to Sprint as a money saver.
Strongly considering the Evo as I can get it for a penny on Amazon.
Owning an Incredible and a NookColor, I know just about everything I need to know about rooting, blah blah, etc.
Just one question, on Evo ROMs, is 4G actively working? Say CM7 for example?
and is the root process the same? Unrevoked or am I out of the loop?
Yes, you can use unrevoked.
And yes, 4G works in cm7.

Ahh..not really. The latest Gingerbread update broke unrevoked. Currently there is no root exploit for the updated firmware. It's been that way for about a month. Many have confirmed that new Evo's are being shipped with 2.3.3 so until an exploit is found, if you get a new Evo you will not be able to root it.

From what I hear the unrevoked team is working on it, but no ETA and scant information has been revealed. I'm waiting on a root to be discovered as well so I can exchange mine due to a few bright spots on the screen, but they are tolerable vs. giving up my rooted phone.

not that i am aware of due to the fact none of the HTC 2.3.3 phones have been hacked yet. Maybe you could sell your vzw phone and buy a rooted evo off here or ebay or maybe craigslist. If you do tho gotta get the number checked to make sure its able to be activated on sprint and not black listed. Or if you wanted to you could get the evo 3d (which there has been strides on is being worked on very diligently so that it can be rooted.) I know you probally dont want to spend 200 but if you ported your number before 7/23 you can still get 125 credit.
http://www.sprint.com/landings/portcredit/?ECID=vanity:switchtosprint
also i beleave sprint will buy your phone at the moment for 72 bucks
with their buy back program which would leave you with a while 3 dollars you would have to pay for the phone. BUT I would suggest you do this very very soon.! hope you go through with it and enjoy if you want to check out the evo 3d many top devs have moved and some will probally move sooner or later just about the funds.
https://secure2.sprintbuyback.com/c...onid=2BEA87BD9605B2DCB255C5F7903FCEE3.server1
let us know if you joned sprint back here in the evo forums hope this helps you out man!
(ps if you are a member of a credit union or AAA ask if they have any eligble discounts or for your work to reduce your bill)
Spend the extra money and buy the 3D. You will thank yourself in the long run.
So I hear Sprint's network kinda blows, any info on this?
I know it's no Verizon but is it acceptable, gets the job done or downright miserable like AT&T?
I think it gets the job done but it is depends on your area also. I can watch netflix and tether and i have no complaints about it.

If you get an evo with 2.2, you can use unrevoked, if 2.3, there is no root for it yet and you'll be stuck. As for CM7, everything thing works, except MIUI, because it has no 4G. And I thought I was Marino.

I think you shouldn't cancel your Verizon plan just yet, the EVO is a great device.and probably one of the phones to have a lot development going on , but Sprint network might not be your cup of tea , I love my EVO even tho I trade it around for some other phoned in the past lol , but Verizon kick ass out of Sprint in las Vegas , specially in 4G. You just might want to get a thunderbolt for Verizon on Craigslist just make sure to meet the dude at the Verizon store to make sure is clean

I'm not canceling anything yet.
I'm testing the service out for 14-30 days and I'll see if I like it.

Best Buy still have the Evo for free, and from what I have been told, they are all still FroYo. The two that my friend and I got from a BB here on LI were both FroYo and rootable.
Hoping mine isn't updated.
