Regarding Sprint Premier silver members

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.

Z, why would you want an SG II when Qualcomm 2.5Ghz quad core processors are due out early next year? Or is it a use it or lose it upgrade?

The S4's aren't going tobe in phone that fast. S3's haven't even hit the market yet.

Lol i want the GSII because its Amazing! If i wait for Quadcore, something new will be on the rumor mill.

I hope it's true, but I may hold on to my upgrade and go Craigslist with my Christmas bonuses.

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. It seems as soon as I got my Epic a few dual core phones hit and now 2.5Ghz quads on the horizon. You took your time to decide to root, don't rush into this.

Farewell epic

Just wanted to say goodbye to the epic 4g. I recently traded my epic for a nexus s 4g, and I couldn't be happier. I wanted to say thanks to all the great devs that made the epic what it should have been out of the box. My decision was confirmed for me when my wife's LG Optimus s got an ota gingerbread update the other day! Before the epic! Crazy! For me its all nexus phones from now on. There will be some features that I miss from touchwiz, but for the performance and update trade off, I'd gladly go vanilla android. Thanks again for everyone who made the epic an awesome phone!

(I really do hope someone gets the connection and I don't look like a lame ass haha)

I just sent an email to Samsung through opensource.samsung.com asking them to release the Gengerbread update and/or the source code for our phone, hopefully they will reply to me in 24 hours as they claim and not just ignore it :/

Pretty ****ty that my niece just got a new Android through METRO PCS (probably the worst provider in the U.S.), and she has Gingerbread. Glad I paid all of this money for something treated like a red headed step-phone.
Disgusted with Samsung beyond belief. What is taking so long to release this? It looks like they are working on it, but I don't understand what is taking so long. Not that I am available for an upgrade right now, but even if I were, there is nothing out there that I really want right now (QWERTY is something I really want).

Still using my Epic as my main phone, but I used my sister's upgrade to get the Nexus. Just as a nerd toy. Got it for 30 dollars. It was so worth it oh my god, MIUI is amazing on that curved screen. It hasn't been thirty days yet and I was gonna trade it back for the Epic 4G Touch but the Best Buy website says there isn't any in stock in my area so I guess I'm stuck with my Nexus

Evo for galaxy s 4g

I had a Guy who wants me to give him my evo for his galaxy s 4g. Should I do it? I know the galaxy has a 5mp camera and a .3 in the front although Samsung makes some dam good sensors. I also know its 16 gigs built in memory vs my 8 gigs with expandable memory. No notification light and a smaller screen. Hmm I don't know what to do lol help please. Thanks in advance.

I say keep it. You'd be better trading it to sprint for a galaxy s II or waiting for the should be galaxy nexus.

I don't know what people are smoking, but if you are getting a trade for a Evo vs Nexus S 4G, absolutely do it! There are many threads here comparing the 2 and the Nexus always wins.

Hmm so I should trade it then

EVO LTE not what I expected!

So yesterday my epic was stolen. I call sprint to do my ins claim n found out my upgrade was up. So I decided to givea shot to the EVO (keeping in mind that I have 14 days to switch to my gs3 lol ) .this phone looks n feels amazing but truly has far as the performance goes it cannot match our E4GT. It has too many issues. Despite not having LTE yet this phone is not an upgrade from the epic. Google wallet doesn't work , WiFi issues , multitask sucks and I don't care what people say this phone lags. Keep in mind I'm neither an HTC or Samsung fanboy. I'm just android freak looking for the best experience.

There are some pretty significant issues with a good percentage of these phones mine has issues its just not worth my time to return it when I will be returning it for the gs3. Some people are on their 2nd or 3rd exchange. So good for him he is lucky. It isn't a bad phone but I like Samsung's better. Everything about sammies are better.

The op also posted this in the e4gt forum and the mod closed it so it wouldn't be all about fanboism. Ughhh What's so wrong with being a fanboy?

I think it is a good opinion that all who are upgrading would like to know. But it is usually best to post these things in the phone upgrading thread.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

I have seen many who have had that issue with the screen light bleeding into the home button. But no not me. I have slower 3g than my epic and WiFi is wonky. Ear speaker while on call is very low. Music volume is very low. Multi tasking is crap. The keyboard will get hung up and won't type. I don't like sense lol

It's okay to criticize HTC so long as you also acknowledge Samsung's shortcomings. 'Fanboy' is synonymous with 'hypocrite.'
Remember when the Epic 4G was released with video out capability? Oh wait, no, they nixed that at the last minute without telling anyone so that they could force their MediaHub over DLNA. Because every TV I'm ever near has DLNA. But I'm not bitter.
FACT: MediaHub was the first apk I deleted when I first rooted.

As one who really likes (needs) to have a physical keyboard, the big appeal for me is the 5th row of dedicated numerals. That was the deciding factor for me over the Evo shift that was available at the time. I would prefer another Samsung, and I would prefer an unlocked bootloader. But if something happened to my epic, and this was the only phone like this available, I would buy it.
