ugh!
hearing all of this about the evo is really getting to me! i have been very content with my hero and the wonderful roms from the devs here. my contract is up the first of next year and i was fine waiting until then... i just found out that my area is on the 4g list for this summer. it is getting very hard for me to resist!
if the devs are able to exploit and root the evo quickly it will be even more difficult for me.
cheers,
ryan

Just my guess here. EVO Has root within 3 weeks of shipping. I think there will be some people who don't sleep till it happens.

Just like those Sprint leaks with screenshots saying Moment will get 2.1 on April 30th and Hero first week in May eh? Fail.

A couple of years ago, the Sprint Diamond was unlocked BEFORE it's release date. Wouldn't surprise me if the EVO was rooted, pre-release!

That would blow my efing mind. That would mean I have to buy it the day it drops....and I can't afford that...but I am willing to not pay rent one month for it.

i was thinking within the first week. the evo is 'the' new phone. it will be so difficult for me to just sit back and read all of the fun and glory of rooting the evo and not do anything. crap! i am hooked.

T-Mobile doesn't even have 4G yet and their current 3G coverage although still growing is a fraction of that offerred by other national carriers.

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?

Co-woker : yeah I did but you didn't answer the phone
Me : well I didn't notice, my phone barely ring once
Co-worker : oh probably is crappy T-Mobile service
Me: mmm yeah just call me at my personal phone next time

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.

Ouch has the Epic's sales been hit so hard by the release of the Nexus that they have to give it away for free now?!

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.

Wow...nothing but trolls on these forums nowadays...

New phone suggestions

Hey dudes. Well, getting the itch for something new. After having my Epic 4g for over a year (and the fact I'm a phone whore) thinking of switching from crapola Sprint to Verizon. Network has been crappy to say the least in the last months. I've tried a multitude of roms, themes, but can't seem to shake it. Be that as it may, anybody in the same boat?
Any suggestions on what to get? I've been seeing the Prime talk and all, but who knows how long that will be before it comes out. I was looking at the Bionic, being that I can't upgrade to the Epic Touch, and again the crappy Sprint network. Any other suggestions?
Sorry to be leaving you all in a few weeks, it's been a nice run

Just got the woman setup with the Droid 3 on VZW. It's nice and fast, but the custom rom scene is nonexistant yet.. The stratosphere should be out this weekend (so you don't miss yer epic too much lol) and i've heard a couple other phones are headed to VZW soon worth lookin into as well.

I'm thinking the Bionic right now. Was thinking the Droid 3, but after looking at both, I like the size of the Bionic. I looked at reviews on the Stratosphere, but it's not looking to "Next Gen" Best Buy told me that they would match the price of one I saw on Amazon Wireless at 130, so I can't wait for payday

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.
im glad i changed the pin number a few weeks ago, or i wouldve had to have stabbed someone.

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.

No upgrade for me until a decent LTE phone arrives.

I am happy I didn't jump on the upgrades a few months ago when I could. Now my upgrade comes in July right when the new LTE phones come out. So everything works out if you let it
Thanks OP for the info though.

Yup this is no bull. All of my lines are eligible.

got mine the epic touch; she had the htc shift. she is all now.
haven't rooted it yet, letting the roms mature a bit before putting anything on it.
it is very nice, the sgs3 though is looking like a sweet phone, i'm waiting to see what all unfolds next year.
