I figured since there isn't a topic on this handset yet that I'd go ahead and start one. Android spin is reporting the phone will release on sprint by the end of July. Does anyone have any information on what will be different about the handset other than the radio. I don't see why sprint would give it a different moniker if its the same as the international version.

Whosdaman got an email from his source saying that it would be coming at that date. From what I see WiThin=WiMax+Thin. So, they're marketing two features of the phone(4G and size) with one name. So, that's my guess t the name change.

it'd probably be cheaper to buy a brand new one from craigslist or ebay than to use your 75 discount and lose atleast a year of your contract agreement

I have been sitting on my upgrade since february, preordered the evo 3d, then heard about this phone a few weeks ago. If you look at the specs, this thing blows the evo 3d out of the water. Internal memory is huge and the bench marks are insane. So, it looks like I will be sticking with samsung.

Best way to do it. Ill probably sell my epic on Craigslist and but the within on Craigslist or eBay. I hate signing contracts

been sitting on my upgrade since february as well, specifically for the sgs2. i had the moment, intercept, transform, and the epic so i might as well keep her goin samsung style.
So I got my Epic in December. I stupidly locked into a 2 yr contact. I definitely want this phone tho. Even if it means breaking my contract and starting a new one. What's the smartest route to take?

But really, what % of lines qualify for that? Sprint premier is something that helped them keep customers long term. Now people won't have an incentive to stay. Now the only thing Sprint will have to hold it's hat over T-mo is true unlimited data.

coming next.... true unlimited data goes away. after that price increases to match the competition. i'm done with sprint. my service has been too shoddy recently in areas that other companies have been good (including ATT) if i'm going to end up paying the same amount as those companies i'm jumping ship.

Seriously Texas? u just had to bring in the inside joke?lol
Some info first, I was supposed to turn sprint premier gold on October 5th, and then i was getting the E4GT. But then the sprint playbook said sprint was getting rid of it, but that gold members would stay that way through 2012 until they upgrade. So i was freaking out, they are getting rid of Premier silver/gold status 3 days before my 10th year anniversary with sprint! So, i was advised by my favorite sprint employee, Korey_Nicholson, to simply call *2. So, i did, told them my situation, and they sent me up one level. The 2nd guy on the phone said that all premier silver members that were turning gold between now and December 2012 will still turn gold anyways! So, i'm still going to be able to get it.
Short version: If you were supposed to turn Sprint Premier Gold status between now and December 2012, you still will.
Also, they changed my number to be the primary line for me to recieve the upgrade instead of my Mom's line.
I put zero worth in anything said by a sprint rep. Did you get this in writing? Id call back and tell them to email this to you. Make sure to have them clearly word what they told you, have them specify your ptn, along with their own full name, and a number and extention to get back them when it doesn't happen.
Just me for real. No dis to wdm, just I know almost all of us have been given conflicting info from one rep to another.

My Epic is blazing fast thanks to Devs here and Bonsai crew. I can hold out for a tri-core or quad-core with a physical keyboard. Technology is moving so fast these days.

Are you talking about at Sprint or Best Buy? Also since they are doing away with the Premiere program you will be with that phone for 20 months.

Is HTC gonna get hit with all the patent mess from Apple? I lost track of what was going on but last I saw, Apple was suing over a patent on the ability to click on a phone number within a webpage and have it dial the number. At the time, it wasn't going to affect imports for a few months. Anyone heard anything?
The galaxy nexus looks pretty appealing. Although I would like to stick with HTC. Hopefully they come out with a phone that has a screen like the nexus or the epic touch.
I get one more Premier Gold 1-year upgrade on April 1st. If the Galaxy Nexus is out by then, I'll get one. Otherwise, probably the Epic Touch 4G.
I wish HTC would come out with something hot between now and then.

Gold Premier (10+ years) customers were given one last one-year upgrade if they were close to their date. Don't remember the time frame, but my acct reflects this. Got my EVO last April, and I'm eligible 04/01/2012.
They ended one-year upgrades for Silver Premier customers last April. Gold customers ended 12/31/2011, with one more upgrade granted.

The article basically explains that if you have had your phone for longer than 9 months, you can "upgrade now" for a slightly higher price. For example, I will have had my Epic for 18 months as of March, meaning I will only have to pay $19 more than the original upgrade fee, and can get a new phone 4 months earlier than what I originally intended to do.
The deal only lasts until April 14 of this year, so if you're willing to spend an extra $20, you can get a new phone today (or next month, assuming you had your phone in September)!
I'm guessing they're trying to empty inventory of epic touch, photon, etc before the summer's new phones hit.

Oh wow...I saw that thread but for some reason I completely assumed it was for something else. I don't know why. Damn that's embarrassing lol
Maybe it's cause that thread is really about Iphone vs Android warfare.

Android is clearly the superior OS.

It wasn't about os it was about the phone it self I don't understand why he was defending what he doesn't like. That's like saying " don't talk crap about the New England pats they are pretty good team" what team do you like again? "Oh I'm a giants fan."

I love my epic so much, so its hard to switch to anything even if its cheap in price. The galaxy s2 is tempting though.

Switching now to new Wi-Max phone seems pointless....I don't see Sprint investing anything in the Wi-Max 4G network any time soon given the whole "network vision" thing.
They are trying to sell out because they have to stop selling wimax phones soon. Basically they are trying to screw everybody over.

They aren't screwing anyone over. Its been stated multiple times that they'll support the wimax network til 2015. They never said they were going to expand it any though, so if you don't have it now, you're SoL. You'll certainly have 4g capabilities until you're due for yet another upgrade to an LTE device

Probably better to just wait for the iphone5 crushing galaxy S3.

I feel bad for anyone who got a gs2. They got f****d royally. No lte til late 2013
Who would want to upgrade their epic with CM9 goodness now available.
Ive only had the epic about a month and I love the thing. But I am running it on Virgin Mobile, can't beat $25 a month for service.

They are selling phones with outdated network technologies.

Well to be honest, this "upgrade now" idea doesn't really apply to us. It does, however, apply to people like my dad who was cursed with the Samsung Intercept, and knowing there's a way to upgrade 4 months earlier for only $20 more made him exhilarated.

Yea it cost me 45 bucks to get my wife a upgrade and now I will be able to hear her, she has a rumor touch, it sucks. Also I found on target.com you can get the sgs2 epic touch upgrade price 149 no rebates. Looks like the wife will be happy. I can wait till the epic 2 with a keyboard makes its way out.
