I doubt sprint store reps have info that hasn't already been leaked from multiple sources

People at sprint stores don't really know much. Use that as a rule of thumb

Will Detroit ever see 4G from SPRINT?

Title says it all. Will we ever see the 4G light or make the switch? We need to get what we pay for. The fact that sprint says they have 4g means nothing until we all have it. Any comments?
With time it will, can't get you any source of when but it will in the future and don't worry is not a big deal sometimes speed vary and inside building sucks

As of just a couple days ago, a 4g tower has been spotted in downtown Detroit near Wayne state university. It can be verified on sensorly.com. I've been scouring the web daily for 4g news and it looks like its finally making its way! Search "4g tower in Detroit " in Sprint Community forums for more details.

Welcome aboard fellow oc'r lol. What you could do is sell Evo on Craigslist. Get 180 for it or so. Then repurchase an Evo on Craigslist. Check it for What rom it has first. Look for 2.2.

How to get into a nexus s 4g for free!

I got my epic before the nexus s 4g came out so I just looked up here one day and bam. There of was perfect directions on how to root and do everything. Everyone has been so helpful especially the ACS team. If you wanna know how to get a free nexus through sprint pm me and ill tell ya how I did it. PS. Hope you get gingerbread soon.
All I can say is thanx this workefd in like 15 mins
Imma try tonite. When y'all called, did you mention the nexus by name, or just tiptoe around until they offered it?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
All I did was I called Sprint *****ed about the epic and said that I wanna get on a new phone the lady said that's OK and she gave me a few to choose from and the nexus s 4g was one. I am using it right now rooted and all ****s amazing.
That's what I did sorry I can't respond to all to everyone I did not exspect to get over 200 inbox messages. Hahahaha. I did have 3 people that it worked for already

Well I just tried and they told me I have to go to repair center to diagnose the phone. Now I'm not sure if I wanna go there because that means I'll have to put my phone back to stock but if this really works I'll definetely do it.

OOOoooo, sounds shady and unethical.
Craigslist, (still shady but more ethical ) , ftw
Here's the Secret,
1. Sign up for TEP
2. Use the phone for two calls
3. Brick your phone on purpose by erasing the bootloader
4. send it in for TEP and request a Nexus S

He wants the attention
Just got shot down. Said I had I power button issue and ****ty service. They said I needed to have my epic replaced 3 times before I wo9uld qualify for a nexus. I'm pretty slick. I've gotten replacements for nothing before, and I didn't mention the nexus until she did. Instead, she made me a service ticket and told me to take it to a corperate service center, since I told her I had been told to call the hotline by a 3rd party store.
I guess ill try again another day.

Im sure it wasnt as easy as it sounded , any phone company giving you a free phone there will be a catch to it ..ohh well at least some ppl got their nexus 4g
well im already on my second replacement epic. so im gonna try and hopefully have some success ... eeeeek

DEC Number

So I found a guy that will swap me a brand new Nexus S 4G for my Epic.
Any harm in providing him the DEC?
Also, is there anything in particular I should look for on his Nexus? I have never done a swap like this before.

Hmmmm, why did he say that he wanted it?
EDIT: Ohhhh I'm an idiot. I believe he wants to check your ESN.
And the most important of all else is his ESN clean? If it isn't you're in trouble.
Yeah, he did mention that he wanted to check the ESN. How do I check his?
If you can, preform the swap at a sprint store to check the ESN. His ESN.

Before anything else, AC is right, you should meet up at a Sprint door with the guy to validate everything. But here is a site to check.

I would have used it to be make sure it's legit but I'm in the middle of a phone call. -___-' Sorry man.
Cool, thanks guys!
This is pretty much what I thought, but hadn't done it previously.

So what I have also learned today is that Sprint will check the ESN for you via the customer service line. Just call and give it to them.
Sure they can check it over the phone, but like others have said it is best to perform any purchases/trades at a physical Sprint store location. That way they can update the ESN right there.
I've heard of people purchasing a cell phone from CL and by the time they get home the "seller" claims to have lost it so they end up with a phone with a Bad ESN- in fact someone here on XDA had that happen to them.
Yeah, I ended up not doing it. Too many things that didn't click for me so I backed off. Not worth screwing myself over.

I recommend the in store option for this reason. Most of the reps at my store would be happy to do it.

You can do it right on the spot just call sprint rep and ask to check that number for you if legit no need to go home first.

Same here. Color me surprised...

You think thats frustrating? Verizon hasnt even acknowledged it exists
U.S. Celluar hasn't given a date other than "by the end of the month". We know the prices but that's all!! Seems like everyone is in this waiting game.
I just called sprint and they said that it will be available for purchase, not pre order on the 25th. I also asked a buddy of mine that is a district manager for t-cellular which is a third party seller for sprint and he said he would actual have the phone for sale. Not sure if that is accurate though, because best buy had no clue.

Could the lack of info on pricing be because they are waiting for the official "announcement" tomorrow. Samsung has event planned so maybe that is when they will announce prices for all carriers and flavors??

No, I worked for best buy and Verizon and T-Mobile. Oddly enough, T-Mobile people were the most informed because we had good communication from up top. Verizon was OK, not great, at giving us info. Best Buy is the worst. Not much training, they don't have answers, they pass stuff on that they change hours later. Incredibly disorganized.

T-Mobile store in Kingwood, TX where i live has them, i'm stopping in tonight for a peek and see if they'll sell me one!
