thought it was in june

I have a very good feeling it will not be released by then. Better use your upgrade and keep the phone in good condition to sell new again haha.

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?

yeah good luck, sprint will not budge on it. the guy told me a ton of people are complaining about it. i think it's a real **** move on sprints part. i hope they suffer in sales from it.

Does best buy have pre order?
Also what if you upgrade to another phone.. And return it within 30 days and exchange it for nexus?

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.

Epic is Toast

So, after over a year without any major issues with my phone and no replacements, my Epic is ready to be replaced. My charger port is no longer charging correctly. Sprint said that Epics are on backorder and it may take a week and have offered me an Evo, Evo Shift, or Nexus as a replacement. I actually LOVE my Epic thanks to all of the developers on here and custom roms available. What would you do?

get the nexus or wait a week?

I highly recommend the Nexus S if you enjoy having the latest&greatest roms, and active community.
However, if you are attached to the Epic, then wait a week. This phone still has a lot to offer once it get's Gingerbread, and though that seems like a long time from now, I'm sure your patience would be rewarded one way or another.
Getting the Evo or Evo Shift is pointless due to its lack of Odin or ADB. In my opinion, rooting and flashing roms on an HTC device is risky.
So those are my two options for ya. I recommend the Nexus, but I hope the Epic still persuades you to stay with the community. It would be unfortunate for another member to go, however do not feel like that should hold you back.

Nexus. I love my Epic but I could live without the keyboard if it means faster updates

I just got an epic replacement today in the mail, as mine was on the fritz. I wanted a nexus s, so if you are interested I will trade my new epic to you if you get the nexus. PM me if you want more info. I think I have 15 days to send in my old one.

So, I decided to get an Epic replacement and already told them to place the order in. I really do love this phone and the community around it. I considered the Nexus seriously, but decided I wasn't willing to give up on this phone yet. It's been the best smartphone I've had yet.
I would seriously like to see a non-FC GB release though lol, EH17 and below have driven me crazy! I hope Samsung and Sprint don't leave us behind with the Touch out.

Will they make you send the epic in?
My epic has a few annoying problems like the charger port and wouldn't mind if they offered a nexus as a replacement, but I still would like my epic which was definitely paid for in full by now. My 1 year is at thursday

Wait is this through the replacement program? If not is it exchanged for free? I have the same issue with my charger port.

i had this same issue and when i went to take it into the sprint repair center they didnt even look at it and told me that i had to file a claim for the insurance. 2 weeks a 2 damaged replacement phones later im still stuck with a phone that i cannot charge or flash. Asurion sucks make sure they send you a new one and dont take no for an answer!!!

I have the insurance and yes, it's free. They are on backorder though, so I have to wait some extra time.
It's crazy, I thought it was the roms I was using not charging right, but turns out it was my phone.

almost at a year?

If you're already at a year, why not just wait until you have an upgrade available? Than you can def keep your epic.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing. I'll keep my Epic for another year. It's treated me good. I picked it up the day it came out and I've loved it. My replacement comes in tomorrow. Let's hope it lasts another year and by then a new phone will have my heart.

I should get my Epic replacement today. I just couldn't go with the Nexus. Little things like the lack of an LED really bother me, as I explained in another thread. Taking away features that should be so basic on every phone just IRKS me.

Personally, I would check and see what phone has the highest value on eBay. Check the completed auctions to see. If Epic isn't one of them consider replacing with the highest priced one and then sell it and buy an Epic 4G on eBay or like I did, on Craigslist.

I have insurance on the phone. I'd rather keep a replacement from them so I can keep the insurance on it. I don't have the money out of pocket to replace it if it's broken again. The insurance has already paid off with my need to replace it once.
I picked up my new Epic today. I finally don't feel disconnected from the world around me.

Pray for me :-)

Going to Sprint this morning to return my EVO LTE for the gs3 on day 11 of my 14 days. Never actually returned a phone before so let's hope this goes as planned.

The stupid thing is the policy states you can exchange the phone, but the employee who originally sold it to you will get dinged for the exchange (even though you are going still have a phone). Also, some stores have an in-this-store-only policy to only allow new sales with contract (you know - the ones that they make commission on) for the first run of phones so they reserve the inventory to those that make them money.
Sprint doesn't like these type of exchanges because they now have to make a $550 phone into a refurbished phone, losing the subsidy for it (whether it's done in BB or corporate stores) and because of how much it affects the salesperson's overall numbers, it's become a huge deal just to take advantage of the policy.
Best advice: Don't be a crybaby about policy, stay cool and keep calm. If you start getting mad or demanding your money back, you're going to have a bad time. Bring all the crap that came with the evo (box, manual, charger and cable) and if you buy accessories from them for the GSIII, it might help sway their decision.

Should I get Sprint GS3?

Hi,
I was debating whether I should ask this question here or at Spring GS3 forum. I think asking here is more fitting.
I am wondering if I should stay with Sprint or not. I am honestly sick of slow data speed and delayed updates for CDMA phones.
But with wonderful dev magic shown here for our Epic4G, I think there won't be much software issues for GS3.
My alternative is Tmo's prepaid monthly4G for $30 per month. I really like the idea of owning GSM phone and getting unhindered updates from google. But there aren't any nexus phone that is better spec'ed then GS3. Also buying GS3 outright is pretty expensive, +$500.
So, if any of you guys switched to GS3, how are you guys? Any issues or regrets?
How is Sprint's data speed? I just found out from today's news that Sprint's gonna roll out LTE to LA, Boston and NYC area within months.
I just don't want to risk locking in 2 years with Sprint and be miserable...

GS3 is a great phone, but unless you need a phone _right now_ would avoid locking yourself in contract until Sprint rolls out LTE in your area. Sprint 3G speed/coverage is very YMMV.

To directly respond to the OP, regardless of what you decide on phonewise, if it were me, I'd definitely stick with Sprint, particularly if T-mo is the only alternative you're considering. Yeah, Sprint's speeds where NV hasn't hit yet suck, but if they stay on schedule, everything is supposed to be upgraded by the end of next year. And alot more is being done by the end of this year than I'd have imagined when I first heard of it a few months ago.

Well, I am in LA area so I kinda expect LTE to open soon...
But, T-mo prepaid already has HSPA+ working well in my area.
I am guaranteed at least 3mbps with Tmo HSPA+ for sure, and that is all I need.
I like their cheaper plan, but it is bummer to pay lump sum of ~$350 for a year old G-Nex or ~$600 for GS3...
I am hoping for a new nexus device, but no solid rumors about when it will be available... just speculations.
It might come next year, which is too much waiting for me...
If Sprint somehow offers me free GS3 I would stay, but I don't think Sprint can. So I am ready to walk out...

It comes down to if you want the fastest software updates or the best hardware available..
I went gs3 because the hardware is amazing.. and touchwiz really is nice on this thing.. its not like the epic where it just kind of makes things uglier.. it actually adds a lot of usable features on the gs3.. to the point where I would rather run a custom tw than aosp.
P.s. the screens bigger too!

$49.00 Galazy S III Hard to pass up

So Sprint is offering black friday deals on the Galaxy S3 of $49.00 and that is a tough bargain to pass up.
I love my Epic, and I love the hardware keyboard. With that being said I have been eligble for an upgrade for well over a year. I'm thinking get the S3 for $49 trying it out, and if I don't like it sell it on Ebay. Take the money gained and apply it to a Galazy Note 2?
Not sure, but whatever I decide my wife will be keeping my Epic, so I won't be going too far and will keep an eye on this forum.

I love my Epic, and I love the hardware keyboard. With that being said I have been eligble for an upgrade for well over a year. I'm thinking get the S3 for $49 trying it out, and if I don't like it sell it on Ebay. Take the money gained and apply it to a Galazy Note 2?
Not sure, but whatever I decide my wife will be keeping my Epic, so I won't be going too far and will keep an eye on this forum.

Where's the info to back up that first line? I have a friend who's on an old Galaxy S and who's looking to upgrade, this would be a sweet deal for him to pick up and get into an S3 for that price. I didn't see anything special on Sprint's website at first glance.

Sam's Club has them for .96 on black Friday!! I'm getting mine there

Of course they are 1 week before I am eligible for a upgrade. Wonder if they would wave that week.

Sprint's corporate stores will wave it for you, of course that depend on the customer service rep

What Frost said, but I might keep it private between The People. It seems most ROMs are debloated without knowing the dependencies of what they remove and people have issues. I always go for stability first so I am not removing anything and will help people learn how to debloat to their liking. With that said, Jellybomb has quick updates, fixes and support as well as tons of themes and options. I highly recommend flashing the removed apps zip as well.

You might as well make it public. It will eventually get out and some **** stain will try to pass it off as their own, so you might as well take your lumps now and deal with all the GS3 noobs.

I would like to see someone pass off a mod's rom as there own. It will be pretty comical.

Can we get someone to host a secret Kenny site, like Aamikam or someone?

ROFL would love to see this happen I haven't fired up my popcorn maker in a long time LOL

Damn I don't have a Sam's Club membership, but I don't think I want to go anywhere near a store on Black Friday. I may just get it for the $49 on Sprints site.
Radio Shack is selling it for $99 on an upgrade with a $50 gift card for the play store. That wouldn't be to bad either.. Decisions, decisions.

It still might be cheaper to get a basic membership + $1 S3 then to get it anywhere else you mentioned. Plus the free samplers in the food section alone will make your membership cost effective
Edit: $35 for year membership

Here is a link for proof.

damn, 96 cents at sams club, is there an activation fee? I have to go look this up! (though I really want the note 2)

Can I buy this and sell it to a friend? Does anyone know if turning it on to play with it a bit could harm the legacy plan I am on ... or do I have to call or go online to specifically activate it for that to happen?
