Did anyone see this today? What the HELL is this? People with this phone don't have to pay to 10 dollar premium data fee, because it's a "green" phone? What the hell? Damn, I'll call sprint, and promise to save a gallon of water a day, and turn my lights off, if that will get me away from the 10 dollar bull ****.

Bull mutha ***** ish I'm calling tomorrow.
I'll gladly keep paying the 10 bones a month to avoid having my phone look like that.
This is crap. I'm paying $10 a month for DIAL UP 3G SPEEDS.
If you call sprint to complain about that....umm good luck I guess. I'm sure you'll get the "you can get that if you our has and activate this phone" crap lol

Yeah this is some bull.... and i will be calling right f..... now. F... waiting until tomorrow.
They are trying to sell the phone. Makes sense.
i bet $10 ill never see one of those being used in real life
I don't want to sound like a douchebag or anything... but you're talking about $10. I probably have $10 worth of change in the ashtray of my car and waste more than that on a daily basis...
EDIT: I realize that was kind of a **** thing to say, sorry. I guess, as a former Verizon & T-Mobile customer, I'm just used to bullsh** fees from mobile companies.

Not trying to start anything, but it would make for a decent inexpensive phone for my 14 year old. Also sounds to me that they are just trying to promote people to be slightly environmentally conscious. To charge $10 extra a month for a phone that doesn't even come remotely close to specs the smart phones we're rocking would be more of a travesty than our $10 fee. IMHO.
Since its not 4g they can't justify the fee. Even thought they call it premium data.

It has nothing to do with 4G. The premium data fee applies to all smartphones now, not just ones that are 4G capable.

I bet if the phone wasn't as ugly as it is they wouldn't be waiving the fee....
You know Sprint was like, how the F... re we going to sell this ugly POS. Should we pay people to use it? Hmmmm, that's not profitable. Oh, I know...lets waive our BS $10 fee that shouldn't be there in the first place and people will think they are getting a bargain!
They better promote the Evolution 3D and get rid of the fee. If I remember correctly didn't the Evo come in an environmentally safe box?

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.

Call sprint from a separate phone and do an esn swap from your phone to nexus then have him activate or whatever he wants to do with the phone you give him. of course you will both have to be together when you do this. Just make sure you can activate the nexus on your account and have sprint clear your old esn before you give him your phone. Sprint customer service can swap phones very easily over the phone, as long as you're not calling from ths phones you are dealing with.
I personally would feel weird going into a sprint store and take up their time when doing a phone trade like that. That's just me though.

It may sound stupid but my buddy got one and bought a case for it. The looks and feel of the nexus s with a case are PERFECT for me. Feels amazing in the hand with a case. Holding it reminds me of when I had my iPhone 3g. As much as I hated it it felt great in the hand. I could type one handed and type with very high accuracy with my eyes closed.

I think that legally you are under no obligation to return the device. They mailed it to you, it is now yours.
Of course, its absolutely not the right thing to do...especially with a pair of companies you are in an ongoing relationship with (who you have alerted to the problem). Would probably just get the IMEI locked out or something and be left with a useless brick and bad karma.

The rules exist more to stop companies form sending something you didn't order and then billing you for it (or sending a collections agency after you). It is designed to stop scams and fraud, but it still applies to honest mistakes and accidental shipments. Basically if you receive something in the mail that you didn't order, it is considered a gift and is yours to keep.
I'm not saying he should keep it (he absolutely shouldn't), but just pointing out the rules.
Interestingly enough, while this applies to physical goods, it is not really true for money. If your employer accidentally cuts you an extra paycheck, or your bank makes an error that leaves an extra $100 in your account, that money is not yours to keep. Your employer has a number of rights enabling them to recover the money (varying by state) and banks have a very long time to figure out that they made a mistake and take it back from your account (and come after you if there's not enough left in the account).
If you do the right thing in either situation, you can't really be harmed. I saw a story once where some woman ordered an ipad from best buy, accidentally got 5 ipads, reported it, and they opted to let her keep them all in the spirit of the holidays!
