thought it was in june

I have a very good feeling it will not be released by then. Better use your upgrade and keep the phone in good condition to sell new again haha.

You could probably sell the EVO and the Arrive for the same price that the EVO 3D will be without discounts.

i know it. im tying to talk my wife into letting me use my upgrade. it still will cost me $200 for the arrive. she thinks i should just wait for the nexus to come then sell my evo. i dunno, maybe she is right. i do spend a **** ton on phones often. but i always make a profit somehow.
i just wish i had a firm date for the nexus release.

I thought we were able to stick with our upgrades man I might end up doing the same thing too, I want the nexus and I think it be out late April beginning of may, if the phone gets past the timeline it will interfire with evo 3D most likely June (iPhone face off ha ha) so I'm hoping is sooner then later I love my evo but the nexus s is really good looking device a bit smaller, better screen and hummingbird will be good for another year or so

If you pre order the nexus s won't you get it as upgrade price... Since you can't really pre order unless you are eligible for an upgrade?
This way you can lock in the price of nexus s, and use the upgrade before they take it away?

yeah good luck, sprint will not budge on it. the guy told me a ton of people are complaining about it. i think it's a real **** move on sprints part. i hope they suffer in sales from it.

Does best buy have pre order?
Also what if you upgrade to another phone.. And return it within 30 days and exchange it for nexus?

Ha ha right? I'm still wondering about that, but not man there data speeds are faster then sprint but latency is always higher so looking a web pages is not that faster, just like att I been all around never been halide then with sprint, besides the ****ty phones (Echo) they come out with sometimes

This may be off topic, but I too fell into your situation and had to upgrade to my Evo before the April 1 deadline. I was able to jump in the best buy buyback program for free.
So this is what is spurring my question. When I look at what the retail price for phones on bb.com compared to sprint's retail prices, bestbuy is almost $100-200 more. (e.g. sprint Evo $450/ BB Evo $600) Has anyone tried to get them to pricematch sprint when buying a phone at retail price? If you go to bestbuy's pricematch policy the first FAQ is
"What is considered a local retail competitor? "
and the answer is ....
"A retail store located in the same market area as your local Best Buy store."
The reason I ask is this. On the same web page there is a link for a New York Price Match Class Action lawsuit about a similar situation where an individual bought a camera from Best Buy then found the same camera at a "local" camera retail shop for less and BB wouldn't price match it. And this individual one. (Reference the Decision and Order Document. The conclusion is on the bottom of page 31)
Note : There is more to the story, but this is what started the wheel turning in the lawsuit. I recommend reading that specific document thoroughly so you can see how scandalous retail can be.
I can understand not matching contract prices, although in the past they have for me. But in this case we are talking "retail" price. I have up til August to get 50% for my Evo ($300) and I was thinking for future sake how i would attack the upgrade. I could either do an ETF (about $180) and lose my mobile #, but pay contract price ,or I could just cash in the Evo for the program and buy phone at retail.
Has anyone had any experience with this situation with BB?
To the original poster...if you feel this may derail your thread, just PM me and I will remove it. Thought maybe this may bring some light for purchasing your next phone.

Vibrant Free (Online only) at T-Mobile.com

While it requires 2 year contract but also available to existing customers who want to add an existing line. Those on individual plans may realize monthly savings switching to the promotional family plan they also got going. Maybe get one for your wife, girlfriend, as insurance when for when you do something stupid, etc. These should (hopefully) also have the corrected GPS hardware as well.
Let's try not to let this thread devolve into a discussion about how the phone isn't actually free. I'm just trying to help / make sure people that would be otherwise unaware, are aware. Plus, I just love plugging my favorite phone ever whenever I can.
Thanks for the heads up I know someone that that will benefit from this .
Samsung probably getting ready to release another phone. Vibrant Plus? making room in the warehouses
Ya I seen this yesterday and I am pissed!!!! I just got my phone a little over a week ago and I had to pay $100 for it. Now it is free? That is some BS!

Yeah, I read that rumor as well. It either will or won't come to fruition. However, if it's only to add HSPA+ then I don't care. If it has an FFC too, I'd care more but enough. If they add HDMI out though then I'd probably care. Either way, it might still ship with v2.1 Eclair. LOL! There's also a waiting period for support by devs for any new phones even at XDA.
In the opinion of you folks who own this phone... worth using my upgrade for? I have a MyTouch Slide now, but I'm itching for something else. I was leaning toward the Nexus S, but this is about $200 cheaper. And seems close enough hardware wise where I would be happy with it.
After a bit of back and forth with myself, I decided to go for it. If I don't like it, I still have my Slide and will send the Vibrant back. Yippee!
thanks, told my parents, they might get one
Guess there is a glitch with there online upgrade because my upgrade doesnt happen for 18 months but I got one free

Free Epic with 2 year activate OR upgrade @ Best Buy

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

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.

Early upgrade for high value customers...

Fyi, till December 31, in corporate retail stores sprint has a targeted offer to allow upgrades many months in advance for "high value" customers. Basically I've seen customers with bills averaging over 130 getting upgrades available as early as 9 months before true eligibility. Only way to check is to actually go in to a corporate retail store and have them look at your account. Under offers for your line it will say early hup. Manager has to override price but you could hit the upgrade lottery
This will NOT be reflected online, on the phone, or through any other method than physically setting foot in the retail store. Just FYI. Good luck.
Please don't repost this, it's only for my epic brethren.

Yeah I feel the same way.. sure, I can roll the dice and see if I can drop 200$ on an early upgrade E4GT, but it's not THAT much better to burn my upgrade so early.
I got my daughter the epic touch; it is pretty nice. ROMs are still maturing though.
How spoiled are we when custom rom selection effects phone selection
my wife is due for an upgrade in june, but they told her about this in store a few daysw ago. same rep almost sold her an "iphone4g" for 99 bucks saying it was on sale.

I just found out about this and walked out with a new Epic touch for the wife and I.
I called sprint to see if I could get around the $36 activation fee. What we ended up doing was the allowed me to buy out my term for $45 each then he credited me $100 on my account and waived the activation fees!
Sweet!
So I went to post it here and found this thread!
No upgrade for me until a decent LTE phone arrives.
That's my plan too. I'm still enjoying my epic, and I don't see any need to upgrade before then
Is there a way to find out if one of those stores are near me?
Yeah, as much as I like new toys to play with (root, rom etc.) there's nothing available that would even tempt me out of my $200.. now if Sprint gets the Galaxy Nexus in the next couple days.. that might be a different story (my buddy keeps sending me pics and updates about which roms he's flashed etc.. he just got the damn nexus today.. lol)
Our account is just over $130/mo with taxes and such... 2x (SeroP + 4G + $8 TEP). Anyways, my wife has been complaining so much about her Evo, and won't let me root/rom it that I want to get her an iPhone just to shut her up...
I managed to pick up an epic touch for cheap without using my upgrade, but I have to say I would hold onto my upgrade if I didn't have other options. Phones in 2012 will be quad core, amoled hd, and lte. But if you are desperate, it is another option for you.

$49.00 Galazy S III Hard to pass up

So Sprint is offering black friday deals on the Galaxy S3 of $49.00 and that is a tough bargain to pass up.
I love my Epic, and I love the hardware keyboard. With that being said I have been eligble for an upgrade for well over a year. I'm thinking get the S3 for $49 trying it out, and if I don't like it sell it on Ebay. Take the money gained and apply it to a Galazy Note 2?
Not sure, but whatever I decide my wife will be keeping my Epic, so I won't be going too far and will keep an eye on this forum.

Where's the info to back up that first line? I have a friend who's on an old Galaxy S and who's looking to upgrade, this would be a sweet deal for him to pick up and get into an S3 for that price. I didn't see anything special on Sprint's website at first glance.
Sam's Club has them for .96 on black Friday!! I'm getting mine there

Not sure, but whatever I decide my wife will be keeping my Epic, so I won't be going too far and will keep an eye on this forum.

Of course they are 1 week before I am eligible for a upgrade. Wonder if they would wave that week.

I wasn't available for an upgrade till June but they gave me the option to pay 100 to buy out the remaining time.

Sprint's corporate stores will wave it for you, of course that depend on the customer service rep

What Frost said, but I might keep it private between The People. It seems most ROMs are debloated without knowing the dependencies of what they remove and people have issues. I always go for stability first so I am not removing anything and will help people learn how to debloat to their liking. With that said, Jellybomb has quick updates, fixes and support as well as tons of themes and options. I highly recommend flashing the removed apps zip as well.
You might as well make it public. It will eventually get out and some **** stain will try to pass it off as their own, so you might as well take your lumps now and deal with all the GS3 noobs.

I would like to see someone pass off a mod's rom as there own. It will be pretty comical.

Can we get someone to host a secret Kenny site, like Aamikam or someone?

ROFL would love to see this happen I haven't fired up my popcorn maker in a long time LOL
Damn I don't have a Sam's Club membership, but I don't think I want to go anywhere near a store on Black Friday. I may just get it for the $49 on Sprints site.
Radio Shack is selling it for $99 on an upgrade with a $50 gift card for the play store. That wouldn't be to bad either.. Decisions, decisions.

It still might be cheaper to get a basic membership + $1 S3 then to get it anywhere else you mentioned. Plus the free samplers in the food section alone will make your membership cost effective
Edit: $35 for year membership

Where's the info to back up that first line? I have a friend who's on an old Galaxy S and who's looking to upgrade, this would be a sweet deal for him to pick up and get into an S3 for that price. I didn't see anything special on Sprint's website at first glance.

Here is a link for proof.

damn, 96 cents at sams club, is there an activation fee? I have to go look this up! (though I really want the note 2)
Can I buy this and sell it to a friend? Does anyone know if turning it on to play with it a bit could harm the legacy plan I am on ... or do I have to call or go online to specifically activate it for that to happen?
