Upgrade question

I am planing on getting a epic 4g tourch but wanted to know if anyone knew what it would cost straight up at a sprint store? My renewal is not up until next year. Also does anyone know if i but the phone say off of bestbuy or eBay if the insurance i carry with sprint will cover the new phone? I dont know if it will being as i did not buy it from sprint. Thanks!
P.S. does anybody but me think 4.5inc is just to big for a phone.... Wish it was like 4inc.

My guess would be 599.99 off contract. For that kind of dough,you'd be better off doing an early termination, paying that and getting an new line with an on contract phone.
Not sure about the insurance though. Asurion is a seperate company they insure phones from all carriers.
No I think 4.5 inch is sweet, id like to see a 5 inch!
This is just my opinion here, but if your a year off from getting an upgrade I would wait. The epic 4g is going to be just fine for a long while yet. I've played with a freinds evo 3d and an international gsII. While they're cool, overall I was not impressed. I didn't see a signifigant increase in performance over this the epic 4g, and in some cases it seemed worse. I wuld wait for the 2nd gen of dual core phones or even until quad core....but that's just my 2cents. Good luck in whatever you decide, I'm sure it'll be an awsome phone.
From cellblock D

I plan on doing this at 14 months so I don't have to wait a full two years to get the promo price. While it cost 75$, the phone price will go from full price to the 199$. Still saving a few hundo.

i was trying to figure out the best options for upgrade as well. I have the best buy insurance so maybe my epic will take a tumble and then i can sell a brand new epic online and use that cash to buy a SGS2. However I was a little disappointed in the video i saw on engadget. They showed an epic touch next to the original SGS on att, they appeared to be the same thickness. Wasn't the big thing suppose to be the incredible thinness of the phone? hmmm

That's because they added in WiMax. So i would rather have the phone be 1mm thicker and have wimax.
The epic touch is gonna be sprint's thinnest phone anyway.

Insurance will cover your phone regardless of where you got it from. I bought my epic from Craigs List and it was covered.

To me 4" to 4.3" is about as big a a phone should be. I would love to keep this phone.. but i am starting to think CM7 (stable) will never happen lol

i think 4.5 will be fine because it has a small bezel too. but you are right nick, anything bigger than that is just crazy. Start feeling like we'll be the guy on hot tub time machine with the old school big ass phones

Love that movie!

When I just talked to Sprint this week, everyone said contract buyouts have been completely removed from their systems. So no regular rep can do that even if they wanted to.
Just a heads up.

You can definitely buy your phone off contract.
Itsjust not as easy as GSM where all yu do is connect your sim card and you're good to go
You have to call sprint after you buy it and get it activated with all the codes on the sticker and then it'll be tied to your account.
It also doesn't effect upgrade eligibility. So if you buy off contract and you're due for an upgrade, you can upgrade, keep the new phone in the box and just use your gsii as your main and sell the upgrade boxsealed to recoup a few hunneds

I can't find anything exciting about this phone. Its too big, and its too far removed from the other SGSII's; which as we've seen with the Vibrant means "take a back seat" while waiting for updates and support. No thank you.

Sure don't. Especially if you factor in that even though the Vibrant is physically very similar to the original SGS, which the Herc is nothing like the other SGSII's, it takes internet smear campaigns to get updates. Forget Samsung; they forgot you minutes after you paid for your Vibrant.

Ill wait for it to show up on craigslist to get one but i doubt that at that point i will buy one with all these other phones around the corner like Vigor,Razar,Nexus Prime,Galaxy S2 HD And Amaze

Gonna wait for more ness on the Nexus Prime before deciding... $230 on new contact makes me think that it'll be over 400 with a 12 month subsidized upgrade... think my vibrant has a few more month in it since that's the case...
Also want to see which Devs pick one up...

TMO - $70/mo x 24 mo = $1680 over 2 years
--- TMO SGS2 $230
--- total over 2 years = $1910
Sprint -$80/mox24 mo = $1920 over 2 years.
--- Sprint SGS2 $200
--- total over 2 years = $2120
ATT - $85/mo x 24 mo = $2040
--- ATT SGS2 $200

That's the REAL price you pay. Getting pissy over $30 differences between the subsidized phone pricing either means that the person complaining simply can't do math.

Not even for $99.
No more crap from T-mobile. I have the vibrant and I forgot the last time T-mobile released an update. Gingerbread has been out for almost a year and I'm stuck @ 2.2.1
I'm willing to pay full price for the upcoming Nexus Prime. @ least I know that I get what I paid for (updates)

HTC One in the Philippines

Fellow Filipinos, let's discuss here our thoughts about the upcoming HTC One.
Anyone of you know when is the release here in our country?
And any of you already has their handset with them, please post here.

Ordered mine on handtec - color black. Still awaiting it's first stock expected next week.
I'm not sure about the availability of the handset in our country but last time I asked(before the delay happened) HTC said we're to expect it mid of April. But judging by the delays that happened it should be between mid of April to mid of May.
And yeah Doubt this thread would be active since HTC isn't that widespread in our country. They don't even have any stores here in Iloilo or even in the whole visayas and mindanao.
Best chances of getting it is through Kim Store lol!

I know a lot of people who use HTC here, and I'm located in mindanao

^^ I was talking about HTC stores Not 3rd party retailers hehe and that's why I mentioned kimstore in the end since they're usually the first 3rd party retailers here in our country that sells latest gadget earlier than official date. I heard they're exporting their products from singapore/hongkong to sell it here.

How much did it cost you? I saw CMK Cellphones post one already but it's still coming soon. I know Kimstore and they currently have the best deal for gadgets so I'm waiting for them to post about prices etc.
Yeah, HTC isn't really popular here in our country because of the lack of advertisement. You know people here believes what they see on advertisements rather than experiencing the gadget itself or rather reading reviews about it.

So yep 29-30k PHP. If you decide not to get the urbeats addon it should only total to about 28k+ PHP. And yeah you could also get lesser charges on the shipping fee if you opt in for UK Royal mail but it's a little bit slower compared to fedex which would prolly take about 3-4days until it arrives here.

Hi! It's already on the screenshot. 29,725.24 PHP no more no less Although I'm pretty sure it's gonna be alot more cheaper right now since the value of our currency is a little bit higher compared to the time I purchased the HTC One.
For me this is already a cheap deal. Having a free flip case + urbeats headphone which would total to like 4-5k+ PHP if I sell it on ebay. The sole reason why I opted in on getting the UK variant is because it has more wider range of LTE bands compared to the Asian variant and I'm not even sure if we will be getting the LTE variant here in our country.

That's a good deal! More tempted to buy one now *drools* What color did you get anyway?

I chose the color black. I preferred it because with the silver one the sides(yellowish stained white), volume rocker(grey) & power button color(black) doesn't seem to match the overall color of the handset. Whereas the black has a black power button & a black volume rocker so for me it's alot more cleaner & sleeker. Anyways that's just personal preferences eversince the nokia 6600 days I always opted the black over any other colors when it comes to gadgets anyway.
And yeah of course it would match the color of the otterbox I ordered lol!

I hope the black 64gb would arrive here in the Phils. I was almost convinced to upgrade to the Butterfly but when I saw the One, I think I will hold my upgrade, though the black 64gb variant is yet to be seen as of now. I'll just wait for local units, since my One S is still less than a year old.

Wait for the developer edition if you're willing to purchase outside our country I heard it's already coming in a few weeks from US.
You can use this service to purchase the developer edition there since it requires a valid US shipping address.

Hurry to AT&T

OK, so I'm not sure how long this deal will stick around for, so if you want to take advantage, hurry on to AT&T.
I recently got my HTC One from AT&T, still during pre-order. I had signed up for the HTC deal where you could send in your old phone and get at least $100 back. Well my proof of purchase did not include the IMEI number, so I headed on over to AT&T and asked them to reprint the purchase order with the IMEI (which they did), then the rep told me that AT&T also has a trade-in program and that I could do it through them. I said "what the heck, give it a try and tell me how much I will get for one of my old phones (Samsung Galaxy Captivate)". He said $24 + $76 bonus on this new special program we are running, for an even $100 for my old Captivate. Sweeeeeeet! Went back the next day with my old captivate and wifes old captivate, rep told me $9, so I explained there's a new program and that the rep the previous day said it would come out to $100. Sure enough I got $100 for each of the phones for an even $200. The catch is you can only spend it at AT&T, so I applied it to my bill, it will stay there until the $200 runs out.
HTC One on pre-order with a 2 year contract $200
Trade-in two old phones -$200
HTC One for free in the bag. I love it.
Just posting this so someone else with an older phone can take advantage.

Ya... All companies offer a trade in like that.. Nothing special

Thanks for the info.
I went to AT&T last time to order one, but since my 2 year contract has not ended yet, I decided to pay full price. The manager told me no, he can't sell it to me full price because this is a hot phone and only available to people who sign a 2year deal. So I left and bought the dev edition on HTC website.

Actually the thing that makes this special is the 100 dollar minimum. They will buy a blackberry curve for 100 bucks. That's a hell of a deal. That's why they tried to offer him 9$ the first time. I think this is a thing directly from HTC not really just at&t.

yes most companies do offer that... but $100 for a captivate?!.... Yes it is something special.
Also, I don't believe this is an HTC thing. I was able to get $100 for my wife's old captivate and she didn't even get an upgrade.

He's right dudes. I work at RadioShack as the assistant manager. You definitely can't even think about getting $100 for a captivate at the shack. I really would take advantage of this deal...pretty dang good to me. And I've been in the business for quite some time.

I bought mine online a week ago. Do you think I could walk into a store with the receipt and do the same thing? It just seems easier than the HTC trade in (which I might also do anyway since I have a Captivate and an iPhone 3GS).

You should be able to get $100 for either of those.

So it's basically gonna come down to the order that everyone receives their phones.

Those that ordered from Samsung got to pick their gift already. There has to be enough for those that ordered in the first couple days.

Ordered the blue coral on 8/3 and will go with the SD card.

I changed my mind and ordered the black version. I am going to cancel the blue one when the b2b customer service opens.

I ordered 8/4 7pm I went with silver titanium. I will opt for the SD card

That's what I see. 250k isn't much.... More than likely though they will still honor the requests after that but people might be waiting a while. I pre-ordered on the 4th of August so I'm pretty sure I'm in anyways.

Pre-ordered a black onyx on 8/4.

My pre-order is dated 8/2. Ordered online from Verizon in the Central time zone. The promotion has 8/3 as the earliest date to qualify. Thinking about cancelling and reordering though Verizon customer service assured me 8/2 would be OK. I really doubt it.

Coral blue thru verizon 8/3/16 purchased outright due to unlimited data. Will get 256gb micro sd.

Another Coral Blue. Ordered direct from Samsung on 8/3 because, despite the money going to the same place, I felt better 'giving my money' to Samsung. Also made the problem of selecting a free gift a bit easier as, I believe, it will ship with the phone.

Ordered the Onyx Black on 8/3.
Getting the 256GB card!
Does anyone know if VZW has a reputation for shipping them on time, late, early, etc.? I'm hoping it's not late since they're due to arrive on a Friday! That weekend would be torture... I'm hoping for a surprise and we'll end up getting it a few days early.

Don't get too excited about it. Technically you haven't gotten anything and they are only giving out 250k memory cards... don't sleep on it.

That would be awesome! They should definitely tend towards the early side if anything because really... Who cares from their point of view? Get the product put earlier for more positive PR and advertising.

Eh, I'll be one of those 250k I can almost guarantee. Most people aren't that quick about getting things done like rebates and gifts. I'll be on it 5 minutes after my phone arrives. I'm not even worried.

through verizon you can now upgrade and keep unlimited data by choosing to pay for the phone on their monthly payment plan. thats what i did. that is part of their justification to charge us an extra $25 bucks for the data.

has anyone seen where china will have a 6gb ram with 128gb memory phone? china's TENAA has already approved it, but there's no knowledge if the U.S. will ever see one.

Ordered the Black Onyx. I'm guessing I need to wait u til I get it to apply for my free gift?
