Sprint Premier Customers can get the 3D now - EVO Shift 4G General

....and Sprint will waive the upgrade fee.
According to the email, it appears to be available through their website only. HOWEVER, I'm sure it can be haggled in their stores on the 24th.
If Best Buy agrees to honor their promo, I'm sold. The Buyback Program basically gives away the 3D for free (or @ a great discount if you didn't sign up for it @ the time and just trade in your phone w/ them for an $80 in-store credit).
Either way, this sounds promising...

So how much would we pay for the 3d?

Didn't see an exp. date, but it does appear to be just an online offer, so I dunno......either way it looks like Sprint will be willing to make concessions to sell those 3D's.

So wait... are you saying that as a Premiere Customer I can get the 3D even though I used my upgrade in Jan?

No.
This is only for premier customers that have an eligible upgrade. It's a pre-order for premier customers only.

Deng, I hate getting stuck in between contracts "/

Huh? it's ONLY with an eligible upgrade, so he wouldn't be able to upgrade for the $199 since he used his upgrade in Jan and still have 17 months before he's eligible for a full upgrade.

17 mo? It's a 12mo wait if he's a Premier customer w/ 10 yrs + as a customer (or w/ a sufficient amount of gripes on his account).
And, just to reiterate, I called Sprint Cust Svc. and yes, us Shifters can get the 3D for $199, regardless of eligibility status. I spent no more than 10 min on the phone venting about poor 3G service, and was advised that they'd honor the advertised price to keep my business (12 yr customer, 9 mo until upgrade anniversary).
Footnotes: Shifters. Gripe. Get. 3D. $199. Minimal. Hassle.

Sweet, but just for clarification, is this something being offered or something that I would have to complain to get?

Thanks, gonna have to give it some thought. My wife is getting one on Fri and if I really like it I may take a shot at trying to get myself one. I am a little hesitant to reset my upgrade eligibility to June since Tegra 3 devices are supposed to be coming out at the beginning of 12

Is this just a online special?could i go get one in the store for 200?

And maybe some indie Sprint dealers will do the rebate for you. I bought my Hero from an independent dealer and the owner paid the rebate for me, so I only had to front the 200 bucks.

I've read the $10 charge is only for areas where 4g is available(since it is currently only 27 areas). Otherwise, it will not be charged for.
Damn $450 for those of not upgrade eligible......That or wait until December.....

So just to confirm, does this mean we cannot upgrade even this one time? There was some confusing about whether all upgrades would be moved back, or just upgrades after you upgrade your current phone?
no upgrades. Fk sprint. If they grandfathered me in one time I would stay.
Well the girl doesn't want verizon grrrr. This will get interesting on my end. I should just start my item cell phone company
Swyped from my cyanogenized and gingerbreaded EVO
And now ALL smart Phones will get the $10 upcharge..what a bunch of Idiots they start to turn the ship being the best game in town with prices and then they go and do stupid crap like this.
We are Idiots Link here
1. They dropped my discount on all lines 4 months ago and anly apply it to the single line (+20 a month for me)
2. Jacked around the upgrades (No effect on my account but its the point)
3. Added the $10 charge I have 6 lines and a Galaxy Tab all my other lines are smartphones, that I might add they charge 19.99 a line since its an "everything plan" already, BS! (+50 a month)
Total increase +70 a month on my already $280 a month bill, BITE ME, TMO free kids pay their own data if they want it and Ill save 150 a month.
So I've been on the 169.99 plan I'm assumming I'm not effected? Or what's the new criteria for the gold tier?

Peep my thread for the details ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917084
I wish I'd seen this whole discussion sooner. When I bought my Evo on January 1st, the rep straight told me I'd get $75 off after a year and $150 off after 22 months.
And why are individual plan Evo owners complaining about the $10 upcharge on all smartphones, we already pay it! That's the 3g-only smartphone users paying Sprint to make our service better! <----joke, that's really shady of those guys.
I don't care either way, I live on a juicy scholarship, whatever comes out in June I'll be able to afford it anyway. I welcome your flaming, I didn't lose my virginity until I was 18 so I could live this way. WORTH IT!!

Looks like Costco will be selling the Xoom on Feb 24th and a little plus is that it will have a $35 mail in rebate to take care of the stupid 1 month data requirement...
Looks like I will be going to Costco on the 24th.. Great thing is Costco has a great return policy (90 days) so if price drops within that time period its definitely going back for price adjustment or just return and re buy...
Wow, I'll bet BestBuy will match the activation fee now. Let the price wars begin!
With the activation fee waved, the first month of service is manageable. Or perhaps it can be canceled within 3 days as others have speculated for a refund.

Doubtful as Best Buy cannot do anything with your bill. They might be willing to take 35 dollars off the price of the thing, but very doubtful
Is this true? If so I just jizzed in my pants. My family calls me a Costco Evangelist. I was all worried that I would have to return this tablet every 14 days at Best Buy until a wifi-only version came out.
With Costco I might keep it, or just return it once when the wifi-only version comes out. Costco is awesome, beyond their EPIC return window, they also have an almost unlimited return policy for things that stop working. I have returned things 12 months later with no problem.
Were you seriously going to return and repurchase a xoom every 14 days just so you can say you have the thing first?
I'm not sure that that's something you should openly admit to, just seems sad.

Sad, nah. Exploitive, yes. The problem is that I want a wifi-only version, but I need a tablet now. I have been needing one for a few months now, but was unhappy with all the options available. If they would do the wise thing and release the wifi-only version first or simultaneously, I wouldn't have to play games. Or if they didnt mark it up 250$

Heh, good point, my bad =)
Take this with a grain of salt but I spoke with one of the phone guys at costco on the 15th and he said they expected to have it for about $100 less than best buy and verizon just like they currently do on the galaxy tab. I tend to believe that considering marking a $500 item down to $400 is a lot bigger of a cut than knocking an $800 item down to $700 is.
I talked to my buddy at the costco (yea i work there myself). The email said they will get the live demo starting on the 22nd. It also said starting the 24th they would get the actually product. It didn't say the price though. You WILL be required to get a month of service. The rumor is about $100 less just like the samsung tab. If i get anymore info, i'll keep this updated. I'm also waiting to get it myself.
Now how about the Wifi version $100 less at $500!!! Oh, what joy that would bring!
I really want this soon, price is my only concern. They better announce the Wifi version next week and say it's coming in no more than 1-2 weeks, I've waited far too long...I can't stand it...

Went to sprint today

Went to sprint today to check on getting a mini 10 (1012) netbook, while I'm eligible to add a line I thought this could be a good idea, but I don't want to pay the additional $60 a month, so I'm going to pass on that, but heres where it gets good, well for me.
I asked my sales associate about what is going on with the premier deal, I explained everything going on with the changes, her nor the other associates had a clue about this, meaning they have never heard of the gold/ silver ordeal, not even their manager, they can only surmise that whatever changes took place are for corporate.
So I asked about my upcoming upgrade that I had originally, she said from where she stood looking at the screen, I was still eligible come june for the $150 off, even though sprint has me shown as silver now online.
Evo 3D, here I come baby.
So I feel better about my visit this morrow, but how can corporate stores be clueless on these changes?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Sounds pretty lame if they are unaware. Also have you verified that Sprint pulled your upgrade, prior to this visit ? What does your eligibility say online? Or text the word "upgrade" no commas, to 1311. You may have been one of the lucky few that never got it removed?

Store reps are idiots. Call Sprint and verify. That's the easiest way.
$75 for the one year upgrade is a drop in the bucket, might as well pay full price and wait two years ($150 + ~$100-200 instant savings + $50-$75 extension credit).
I just checked mine at it said I was eligible for a $75 upgrade on 6/1/11 with a 2 year contract...where as before (like a month ago) it said I had a $150 upgrade. I remember seeing a number somewhere for spring customer service or something that you could call and they would roll it back to your previous upgrade amount? I mean yea $75 is better than nothing but still, they jewed me on my original upgrade. And I'm supposedly a gold member.

According to the store today when I visited, they said I'll still get the $150 come june, but I guess we'll see when I go in, I'd still think I would only get $75 though.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
You're only gonna get $75 off retail bro. Unless you get the right rep on the phone to change it. Better off buying on craigslist/eBay and 10mos from then, you'll be full upgrade eligible.
I made a thread about Silver Premier Override, check it out. It might work for you, but not technically supposed to. Or you can jump to the $89mo plan and be Gold eligible in 3mos, then switch back to your old plan after upgrading.

Cpr certified, this horse will not die darnit, I will not give up.
Again I'll find out when I go back in June, not really a big deal to me, but if they claim I'm eligible, and still at $150, then great, if not $150, but $75, then again great, either way I'm happy, cause everything I've seen or have talked to says I can upgrade, what is at question is how much off though.

Sprint Premier Silver members, you still get your 1yr upgrade.

I just had a conversation with Sprint Customer Support about my upgrade.
I am considered a Sprint Premier Silver customer, 7 years service and the 1500 minute shared everything plan.
My upgrade for 1 yr on the previous premier set up came in February but I had bought an EVO off contract when my Hero died trying to save my upgrade for the new phones of the summer.
Obviously with the premier change I got borked, or at least I thought I was.
All Sprint Premier Silver customers are eligible for a one time override due to the change of plans. You do have to call into customer service and ask for it, she called it a Tier One Override and said it is a relatively new change to their policy.
I am now throwing down $50 to pre-order the EVO 3D.
If this helps you please hit the thanks button!

I am considered a Sprint Premier Silver customer, 7 years service and the 1500 minute shared everything plan.
My upgrade for 1 yr on the previous premier set up came in February but I had bought an EVO off contract when my Hero died trying to save my upgrade for the new phones of the summer.
Obviously with the premier change I got borked, or at least I thought I was.
All Sprint Premier Silver customers are eligible for a one time override due to the change of plans. You do have to call into customer service and ask for it, she called it a Tier One Override and said it is a relatively new change to their policy.
I am now throwing down $50 to pre-order the EVO 3D.
If this helps you please hit the thanks button!

That's good to know. Hope it doesn't take an act of congress to get them to do this when i call them!
Thanks for sharing OP.

That's what I said a while ago, we still get it, but only at $75 off, which I'll gladly take versus not be able to all together.

PM ArtlovesKC, OP of the thread. He reset mine today, pre ordered my EVO 3D today. He will need some info on the situation, your phone number and name on the account. Enjoy.
Awesome was looking for information about this subject
It depends on who you talk to. The guts at my local sprint store gave us the new upgrade price on one of my lines. Not sure if I can get it on the other line. Looks like the wife gets the evo 3d lol.

No, they didn't give me the $75 off, they gave me the full upgrade of $150.
Thats why I posted it for people who would be getting their upgrade if it wasnt for the policy change, they WILL let you have your full upgrade. You simply have to request it.
The customer service rep said she couldn't do anything, I asked for a supervisor. A few moments later she came back on and apologized saying there was a new policy that allowed it. Never even spoke to the supervisor. She said my account was immediately reset for an upgrade.
I have since gone to the sprint store by my house, asked them to verify, and placed a pre-order down.
I got my full $150 upgrade back as of July 1st. Does this mean I get $150 off the retail price? Also, does the 2 year upgrade reset my contract from the time I get the new phone or is it stacked on top of the year I have left?

You are signing a new 2 year agreement, it doesn't stack on top of any time remaining on your previous contract. That isn't how their early upgrade has ever worked.

True, but I'm ok with that since I'm getting the 3D this summer and not the next, but I won't get the greatness that might come next summer, oh well.

Think with the 100 evo trade in will still be in effect if I do this?
Yeah Ok, so if I call sprint get my upgrade reset can I still trade in my evo for $150 with sprint?? Meaning getting my evo 3d for a very cheap price!?
Maybe I should yell more then next time I call CS as my wife's contract expires BEFORE she's eligible for the $150. See below
Your agreement with us, which started on 11/04/09, will be completed on 07/03/11.
save $75 on a new phone now,
or save $150 in 1 0 1 days on 09/01/11..
Is the discount for $150 off of the new contract Price or the retail Price?
