Woot! Got my 3d

Well I just got out of my local sprint store and walked out with my 3d. When I got me EVO last year I used my wifes line. So mine was still open for renewal. Got a 150 dollar trade in for my 4G. Can't decide how I feel yet. I LOVED my EVO 4G hopefully im not dissapointed.
I don't see a 3d section on my xda app. I thought I saw one before

Can't see why you'd be disappointed, faster, better battery life, a little thinner and longer, better screen.
Sounds good to me.

That's cool bro. My mom and bro got the 3d today too.

It'll be unlocked soon.

Yeah my wife is do for an upgrade of course I'm taking it but I'm not sure if I want the 3d if I do get it it will probably be because most of our dev are moving to it well and its a nice phone but I didn't get a chance get into see one today maybe tomorrow .
So I might end up with one if I'm impressed with it.

Unfortunately there are no phones eligible for an upgrade on my account. Even if there was my wife would throw a fit. I applied for a amazon.com store card and got approved for $600. Then found out you can't use it on amazonwireless.com. I was so close.

hboot crack
just waiting on the hboot crack and I will have one. $50 buck to change my 4G to 3D. Can't wait!!!

A phone is not worth accumulating debt.

It won't be debt I make that much in a day just can't convince the wife to let me spend that much in a day. I also have a coworker who is gonna get it with his upgrade and trade me for my EVO 4G. I just gave to spend the $180 to order it from amazon.

Battery life is for sure improved. Took it off at 7am and 13 hours later I was at 30 percent. I played around off and on and never plugged it back in. My 4G would need charging around lunch time with regular use.

Not quite...my understanding is that it's only a single core processor. I'd rather have the 3D feature and not use it if I have to give dual core up.
OP, the only phone we know is coming soon that's in the same class as the new generation of phones is the Samsung Galaxy S II. HTC and Moto have both released top-end phones on Sprint in the last few months. My guess is that after the SGSII, the next high end phones we see on Sprint will be the next Nexus and other phones designed for ICS.

Have you considered the Photon?

Photon has dual core..1gb ram!! What's not to like about that phone?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Blackberry Bold Touch and Blackerry Torch Touch on 8/21, Samsung Galaxy S II in the next month or so, the Nexus Prime within 3 months or so.
the conquer is lame, and if youre gonna get a kingdom, you might as well get a 3d...
photon and 3d are already out, and are most certainly superior in specifications to the evo.

Hrm I didn't know that. The screen was enough for me not to consider but this definitely puts the last nail in the coffin.

Is this an annoucement date or when the phone is actually going to be available?
I had planned on waiting a couple months to see what comes out but I left my EVO in a golf cart this past weekend and before I got back to the course the cart kid had rinsed out the cart and got a little water on it. It wasn't even a lot of water but the phone is acting crazy now and keeps hopping in and out of car mode and goes straight to speakerphone when I answer a call. Not sure if I can put up with it like it is and I not going to spend the $100 deductible to replace.
I'm hoping my 30 day trial will get me a look at the SGS2. If not, kinda leaning towards the photon but need to spend some time with it in store. Was a little underwhelmed by the 3D.

i have seen the Photon but i have not really considered it.
I really like HTC and want to stick with it.
How does the Motorola and Samsung stack up with HTC?

this statement is false..i personally went to sprint to pay my phone bill today and while i was there i gave the photon a test drive..there is absolutly no truth about the ram operating @512 off the dock. with that being said..the photon is a very nice phone speed wise..i imagine battery life is better cuz of dual core..i did not care for the screen or the phone as a whole...HTC are hard to compete with and i will continue to be a customer.

Possible buy..

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a att branded Nexus S, found one on Craigslist for $300..
I think its a fair price, Guy is local and I'm tired of my Inspire.
Reasons I would like to buy it, smaller screen size, pure aosp, battery life...
I just got the inspire about 3 months ago and will more then likely keep it..
What are things I should look for to make sure it is the real deal or just in general?
Any help is appreciated honestly.
I know I could wait for something better to come out ina few months but I don't use my phone for gaming, just purely alot of web browsing, texting and surfing forums..
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

Only advantage to the Inspire is screen size. I have owned a Inspire and currently own a NS4G and I like both, but Nexus is smooth. When I buy phones I really just check cosmetic and play with it and check about phone to see what its on and browse the interwebs for a few.

Make sure it is truly the i9020a version and not the i9020t or some other variant. Otherwise it isn't truly the AT&T phone (would not work with 3G otherwise).

What should the about read besides 2.3.4 which kernal is stock etc and thanks for the replies guys keep then coming please

Nexus S phones do not have the carrier branding. Only Samsung and Google in the back.

Basically I was asking if the "a" at the end of the model number is for at&t?

That I am not sure but, I told him I wanted to me up and he goes, ok my friend works downtown and ill confirm with him, I'm assuming he posted for a friendz but then goes on to say the Guy, who apparently owns his own business.
So sounds kinda sketchy to me, if a Guy can run a business downtown why can't he post his own ad?

Def sounds odd, I would look elsewhere

Get the IMEI # and call att check it. If he wont give it to you then move on! Gsm phones don't have esn they take sims and you could end up with a stolen phone and not even know it. I know here in Austin they are going for less than what that guy is asking. Just seen a white one for $260 and it was squeky clean.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App

The AT&T nexus s is only $99 on contract, so $300 for LBNIB isn't sketchy--but the white ns for $260 kind of is. I say meet with the guy if you like the price, inspect for damages and all accessories, then stick your sim in and wait for that 3G or H symbol to pop up. Also make test calls and take pics to ensure speakerphone/mic/camera/etc. is working.
I just bought a LBNIB for $325, so $300 is a good deal imo.

So I just talked to him again, he sent the pictures like he said he would, sweet baby jesus she looks fine! lol
Turns out the reason he mentioned his friend was because they are old business partners and the actual seller wouldn't be able to meet me in person, because he would be at work, so he is going to give the phone to his friend, who he trusts to meet up with me.
I didn't ask the guy where he worked but his friend works downtown here and it's not to far for me, so hopefully all goes well..

replacement phone. no more vibrants

So i filed a claim through asurion yesterday to replace my stolen phone and they told me that they no longer support the vibrant model and that they were going to upgrade me to a new model at the same deductible. it looks like there are no more vibrants through insurance. i will definitely miss my vibrant =(

Not good!!! Looks like ill be lookin on craigs list

Can you let us know which phone they send? Thank you.

Interesting thread. I purchased my Vibrant the 1st week when it released, and I bought the insurance. The T-Mobile rep told me that "when" they stopped supporting the Vibrant, ill get an updraged phone, if I pay the $100 bucks for the deductible. YES, they used that as a sales pitch to get me to buy the insurance.
Now, I use a G2, but my wife has my Vibrant. It will be interesting to know what they send you.

I got a new Vibrant through T-Mo just a few weeks ago. (GPS on it is great, btw.)
I think it's crazy that a year old device is already "unsupported." WTH?

yeah shows that tmobile really only cares about profits. this makes me think that the vibrant is not going to get any more updates. very sad. makes me really hesitate about buying phones from tmobile if they are not too worried about support

Yeah, the fact that Tmobile no longer supports a year old phone is the reason why I'm seriously considering buying the Galaxy Nexus out of contract even though I am not pleased with the features they released. I would much rather wait for the new Galaxy and a higher res screen but I don't want to take the risk of having support for that dropped too.

I did a warranty claim b/c my phone was not charging, i got a vibrant S and not a Vibrant 4gS....

Read my first post in detail brah. Mine was through insurance. Not warranty
Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk

I'm actually kind of bummed about the galaxy s 4g. There's no internal memory card, no CyanogenMod, and there are a lot more roms and modifications on the for the vibrant. The front facing camera is a neat addition but i hardly ever use it. I dont really see a difference as far as the 4g modem. It's pretty much the same for day to day usage for me.

Picking up a GS3 from Verizon tomorrow. Sad to leave this awesome Sprint community and my first smartphone that actually lasted me the entire length of the contract. Also kinda sad that I'm gonna have to keep track of data and hope for workarounds with the Verizon version of the device. But I'll be saving money by jumping back onto my family plan (now that they all have data too, only gonna cost me $40 instead of $75 by myself on Sprint) and the improved signal and service should be nice as well. Thanks to all the developers and members here for doing some AWESOME stuff with the Epic 4G for sure!

I have a fun fact for you "upgraders". Your S3 is going to be new, shiny, and exciting. For us late bloomers who got the epic a year after you did, well, let's just say the LTE quad cores with unreleased swag and EPIC upgrades will make you butthurt. So there!!!!! Yes, I might be an idiot.

LMAO!!! thanks for your honesty dude

I got my white price matched with absolutely no issues, try it out... also I am returning the s III and waiting out for the Photon Q ... I thought I could do without the keyboard, but I miss it too much. I am not as productive with the virtual keyboard as I am with a regular keyboard. It's not even that the VK is soo bad, but I am more likely to put off things like enter calendar dates and take notes and reminders because it is more of a hassle than with a physical keyboard. It was also a bit too big for me to comfortably use with one hand.
Bottom line is if you are thinking about switching but are attached to the keyboard, you may want to wait for a little longer to see if another slider comes out. I think a 4.3" slider with a 720p screen would be absolutely perfect.

I just played with the GS3 and I have to say it doesn't feel as solid in hand as the gnex, gs2, and especially the evo lte. However, it seemed the most fluid of them all.
