Sprint wants to buy my epic from me for a whole $42. What you guys think.?.
My screen is messed up (static lines all across the bottom half of screen) and they are back ordering me a refurb one.. Should get it in a few days.
Also, my upgrade is September 1st.. I'm debating between the sgs3 and the htc evo.. Hmm

You should just etf for 100 and upgrade today. 100-42=58, so 58+199=257, which is probably worth it. Only 50 more and you upgrade today. Cancel the backorder.
That's just my opinion though. Not sure if you have to pay the deductible on the backordered epic. If so, definitely etf.

He doesn't have to etf. He can pay $50 for early upgrade with how close he is, like I did. So $50 - $42 + $ of device he upgrades to. All in all he pays $8 extra to upgrade now.

I thought I read that sprint got rid of the early upgrade program. From what I read, even if its a day before your upgrade, you have to etf.

Unfortunately since mobile odin is not available on our device yet, you need a computer.
And just to warn you about walmart, I have never bought from them, but Sprint may not support you if you buy from them rather than sprint. They may not fix your device if something happens to it, depending on how nice the associate is and what store you go to. Also, if you change your contract after 30 days and before 180 days (6 months), walmart will charge you 375 I think.

The service guy said they use to buy back our epics for $60.. He almost sold me right there..lol..
I wonder how much best buy would give us for our epics.?.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
I think fully-working ones are $54, at least according to the associates at my store and the website.
Not sure about bestbuy.
Just make sure before you buy from a 3rd party retailer, read the terms and conditions to decide if the initial price difference is worth it, and read reviews from people to see if they got screwed or not.
10-4 on that xbox.. Thanks for all the input.. I will definitely search around for others experience..

You have to pay to reset your upgrade, but it's based on how far into your contract you are. At how close he is he would only pay $50 like I did. And the offer for a fully working Epic is $42. I just did all of this this month when I got my Nexus.

Best buy does price match so if you take a picture of the price on the gs3 and take it there you can get the gs3 for 150.00 that is what I am going to be doing.

Not necessarily, the OG Note was apparently $750 retail price on AT&T.
Also, walmart just leaked some on contract prices for T-Mo and it looks to be $299 w/ contract
I gave up and got the white from Newegg for $649 and Fatwallet cashback (~4 extra percent off). If the AT&T version isn't screwed all to hell, I'll sell the international for a small loss and move on. Easy. Not interested in waiting until mid November.
If you are looking to get the Note 2 on T-Mobile and are worried about having to pay the full price. Call a tmo representative and talk about their 2 tier early upgrading plans. It renews your contract but you still got a much larger price off.

I'm on the Value plan, so... no dice for me . But for those of you on a Classic plan, this is the way to go. Although if you want, you can say you want to talk to retentions and try to get the "Android Data plan" which is an old 5GB plan for $15 a line.

You think thats frustrating? Verizon hasnt even acknowledged it exists
U.S. Celluar hasn't given a date other than "by the end of the month". We know the prices but that's all!! Seems like everyone is in this waiting game.
I just called sprint and they said that it will be available for purchase, not pre order on the 25th. I also asked a buddy of mine that is a district manager for t-cellular which is a third party seller for sprint and he said he would actual have the phone for sale. Not sure if that is accurate though, because best buy had no clue.

Could the lack of info on pricing be because they are waiting for the official "announcement" tomorrow. Samsung has event planned so maybe that is when they will announce prices for all carriers and flavors??

No, I worked for best buy and Verizon and T-Mobile. Oddly enough, T-Mobile people were the most informed because we had good communication from up top. Verizon was OK, not great, at giving us info. Best Buy is the worst. Not much training, they don't have answers, they pass stuff on that they change hours later. Incredibly disorganized.

Very hard to believe seeing as how Verizon was on it, next day T-Mobile gets updated and where is Sprint at?? The Sprint Galaxy Nexus was updated before any carrier, which was awesome but now the Moto X update to Kit Kat, not a word any where. I so wish my contract with Sprint was up because after being a 16 year Sprint customer, I am ready to jump ship with these fools. The network gets worse and worse everyday, it seems. It should not take this long for our Moto Xs to be updated!
Why are people still on sprint? It's no cheaper than any other carrier, and it has the worst signal. I get if you're stuck in a contract, but there are some that willingly sign a new one with them.
Could be Moto holding the update until a bug fixer is available for the rest of us. There are some bugs in Kit Kat that need attention.
Dude, US Cellular doesn't have it either... Doesn't matter how much we try. When it comes it comes.

Some people are experiencing hissing noises during calls that seems to only affect Sprint Moto Xs; other carrier Xs don't seem to have the issue and other phones in the same area of service for Sprint also don't exhibit this issue. This could also be a source for the delay.

Well that is before the subsidy. I would think the 16gb would be $199 and maybe $249 for the 32gb? In all likelihood, it will be $249 and $299 respectively.

Anybody know the release date for Sprint LG G3? The website says July but doesn't specify which day.
I'm going on a trip the first week of July and would love buy this phone so I may take photos with this phone.
Do you believe that this phone will come out by July 1st?
I'm just curious to know if the bootloader will be easily unlockable. as much as I want this phone, if it can't happen, I don't think I can get it.
Yea, a locked /unlockable bootloader is a deal breaker
guaranteed, any of the USA carrier phones, except if the come out with a Dev edition, will have locked boot loaders..
Thats no fun, carriers always restricting freedom.
As long as it can be unlocked it is fine with me.
