sprint does early upgrades again - Epic 4G General

surprised I didn't see this on here yet. I see that sprint has decided to bring back a new early upgrade program. Wondering who is going to take advantage. For me personally I don't think its going to be worth it. I'm at the $55 range according to the table in the link. So if I understand this right, I have to pay the $55 + $36 (upgrade fee) + $199 for cost of phone. so thats just about $300.
Option B would be buy an S2 on craigslist for $350, sell my epic for $150 and not have a new contract. $200 out of pocket. Maybe better if i can find a better deal on an s2 and sell mine for more.
http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/09/sprint-launches-early-upgrade-promo/

sprint has always had a buy up program. this is really nothing new.

Plus if you threaten to leave they'll give you an upgrade

Hasn't been two years yet and I'm already qualified for a full two year upgrade waiting on the galaxy nexus.. the epic touch is not worth it

Skipped out on the 4s because it isn't really an upgrade plus i'd have to buy accessories that wont work since the iPhone 5 definitely will have a different form factor

I'm waiting on news about the Note being released for us. If nothing is announced for it by August I'm going with the S3 or Nexus. Whichever one has the least plasticky build is the one I'm going with. If the Note is released before then I'll be using the early upgrade. I realized that I type much faster with the vkb. While I am still extremely happy with my Epic, I just want a larger screen. Once I get that I will probably hold on to whichever phone that happens to be for a very long time. My single core Epic is plenty fast for my usage so anything higher will just be icing on the cake.

Well see thats my question.
will the Evo 3d be a Lg phone or a htc phone?
It has that Samsung feel to it, but it's a pretty sweet phone. It feels solid and the little chin bit feels nice in the hand, but I'm not huge on the plastic myself. Nice to see it at least come to Sprint, I'm not entirely sold on these dual cores as I don't game or take in a whole lot of media on it sans music / random videos. 3D phones ... ehh, it should be the big phone of the 2 and I know the 3D toggle will be there ... and there is all that talk about 3D on displays that don't really do it justice ... blah blah blah. I'd consider the Nexus S, especially for just a year. Will be interesting to see what is what.
I'm itching to find out how much it'll sell for. I don't have any problems with selling my Evo to get my hands on a Nexus S on Sprint.

they will soon. probably at ctia. but their dual cores are inferior to the tegra/samsung dual cores. @ 1ghz vs 1ghz, htc/qualcomm's is about 25% slower. qualcomm is setting them at 1.2 ghz so it'll make up some of the gap but power consumption will shoot up plus the tegra 2 is 5nm smaller so tegra 2 is overall more power efficient. i'd personally want a tegra 2 but not much of a choice.

Its just hard to take Samsung serious when it comes to phones. I mean the rule the tv world but I just don't like how they support their phones(taking forever with updates/fixes). Very hard to believe the nexus s is a sammy product and not an HTC.
Nexus S IS NOT SAMSUNG's. For the last time, GOOGLE wanted the phone, GOOGLE gave samsung the specs, GOOGLE tested it, and it's aosp. It is no where close to the **** support that the other samsung craphones get.

Currently working on trying to get a Nexus S 4G . It seems when I sent my evo in for replacement under warranty Sprint decided to count that as a new phone and set me back 22 months before an upgrade . I found this out when I called about my date since the release is tomorrow . I sent in a dispute about that and the fact my upgrade date got changed after I signed the contract (Hey why the hell not give it a shot) . The nexus S will have direct updates from google and none of the added on bloat other phones are stricken with
Here's my plan. Since beat buy will allow you to return I think 3 phones - I pre ordered an evo 3d but am buying a nexus tomorrow. If i love the nexus, I'll cancel my evo order. If not, I'll still get the evo. If it ends up having an encrypted bootloader or i dont like it as much as the nexus I will probably return/sell/trade it for a nexus or wait for a gs2 announcement.
Tapa tapa tapa
For me, nexus. For a couple reasons, the first is Google updates ice cream sandwich is coming very sooon and rumor is it is bringing hardware acceleration goodness...miui has moved to the nexus s as the main device, and I love miui. Have you used super amoled yet? I love my evo but honestly I want something sleeker and thinner now. The battery life is amazing on the nexus

[Q] What do you think is your end of life for the epic?

Hey everyone,
Just wondering if people have an idea of how long they'll stay with there Epic? I don't think I've ever loved a phone as much as I love this one but I'm sure I'll be tempted away by something new this summer when my renewal credit is up.
What about you?

Samsung Note LTE for sprint or a quadcore.. whichever I fall in love with first!
Waiting on SGS3. Eligible in July. May just go for the Nexus if the 3 looks like a long wait on Sprint, though.

Ill probably run the epic for another year or so. Its a still a great phone and a big upgrade compared to my old optimistic v.
I am still getting a Google phone... like I said before, I don't want to be pissed off by samsung's lack if updates, closed source ROM, or HTCs locked bootloaders. I would actually like a Google phone on stock... I don't care if there is 65 core... single core is fast enough and dual core is amazing. Higher on a mobile phone is just stupid until software advances.

I see little reason to upgrade to something else until LTE is deployed in my area now that CM9 is on the horizon.
I might finally be ready for a phone without a keyboard. The Galaxy Nexus keeps calling me.
I will never get rid of my epic but if sprint gets galaxy note2 I will have to upgrade and keep epic for fun. Even better would be a nexus note.

Want a new phone early? Here's how!

http://www.sprintfeed.com/2012/02/sprint-to-offer-early-upgrade-buyout-program/
The article basically explains that if you have had your phone for longer than 9 months, you can "upgrade now" for a slightly higher price. For example, I will have had my Epic for 18 months as of March, meaning I will only have to pay $19 more than the original upgrade fee, and can get a new phone 4 months earlier than what I originally intended to do.
The deal only lasts until April 14 of this year, so if you're willing to spend an extra $20, you can get a new phone today (or next month, assuming you had your phone in September)!
I'm guessing they're trying to empty inventory of epic touch, photon, etc before the summer's new phones hit.

Well to be honest, this "upgrade now" idea doesn't really apply to us. It does, however, apply to people like my dad who was cursed with the Samsung Intercept, and knowing there's a way to upgrade 4 months earlier for only $20 more made him exhilarated.

i agree.. software can always be updated, not so much the hardware. Rather have superior hardware if I'm paying the same price...

I can see what you mean but this phone is better than the og evo and it has tons of options as well...I'm with iSaint. The gnex has google support and has pretty decent hardware specs. Besides its omap ... more openess and all newer versions of android are being built on this platform. But the evo has a faster cpu which is said to be faster or as fast as the quadcores. I'm still choosing the gnex and will love every minute of it until next year when I get another early upgrade .

really wish there was a version of the gnex with a hw keyboard.. then i'd be gladly forking over my money.. as it is, unless my epic dies unexpectedly, there won't be any motivation to switch phones just yet..
On a side note, I didn't know i was up for a renewal until i looked at the gnex pre-order, apparently I am.. good to know..
I know... I'm going to miss my hw keyboard SEVERLY but... that juicy 4.65 hd display should be sufficient for me =]. Ill get the s4 when that gets rumoured .

I think anyone who doesn't wait for the dust to settle and see what the Galaxy S III will be like may be having blue balls and gambling with their upgrade ;-) I'm sure the Evo LTE will be a fine phone but think about how awesome the GSIII LTE (aka Epic LTE?) could be, and Sprint's version might just have a keyboard too, and be as slim as the newest Droid.
I'm gonna wait until LTE gets deployed in my area, I believe it's slated for the fall so WiMax will do for me until then.

Going to preorder it now, yes there are going to be more announcements fir different phones but the specs on yue galaxy Nexus are good enough for me plus 2 years of upgrades and tons of development I don't think I will care about other phones

You have until 5/22 to activate with the $50 Google wallet credit, I will definitely wait until 5/3 to see what GSIII will bring to the table.
Well I guess I have until September before my contract is up anyway, but if I were looking to upgrade now I would at least see what Samsung will bring to the next-gen party.
Well apparently my upgrade line was an air card so I will be getting it in a month still I don't care if new stuff comes out a nexus for 2 years sounds amazing

Just got my text message from Sprint this morning regarding this .... I have 1 line already eligible for upgrade , but I'm holding out 'til later this year when "better" phones should be released ( mythical beast with KB / Epic LTE ? )
I'd rather have the gnex and be the first to taste Jelly Bean before anyone else gets updated. Not to mention having a solid development community, as Nexus devices usually do. If I'm to wait for a device I'd be waiting on the next Nexus, forget everything else. Don't care what has the best hardware. I care what's got good enough hardware for me, works, has good software and gauranteed updates, and a good dev community.
