No more SuperSonics?

Well...I heard of some people actually messing up there EVOs and being given the EVO 3D in replacement....
But just last Tuesday I broke mine and I got my OG EVO in the mail last Thursday...I'm jus curious how and why didn't y'all jus ask for the EVO 4G?

Most just do an online claim through asurion so theres no one to talk to. And most see the e3d as an upgrade to og evo therefore not requesting an og but moving on to bigger and better places.

OiSeee...maybe me calling it in was the difference makes sense..i just didn't wanna get rid of my SuperSonic experience lol

Stores are pulling them from the sales floor. A week ago Sunday had to go to best buy to pick one up for my sister in law and tomorrow am ordering a epic touch from amazon wireless since they are a penny for upgrades and new lines.

So if a claim is made through asuroon they are sending out EVO3d as a replacement or it depends

They definitely have refurb replacements in stock you're not getting a 3D lol. If they don't they will say the 4G is on back order and either make you wait or give you a loaner or something. You won't get a 3D that easy.

Actually your wrong they are giving them out that easy cuz for
1. They wanted to give me a 3D and all that happen was the infamous charge port.
2. My wife's Epic4G gave out they replaced it with the 3D.
3. Her mom went in and talked to a repair guy about her Epic4G over heating and they gave her a 3D as well.
So yeah they are replacing your smart phone for the 3D if you DONT ASK FOR IT!

Now you've got me wondering if I should trash my 4G just to get a 3D as a replacement.

Bad karma, if you break it on purpose you won't get a shiny new E3D, you will get a crappy refurb ...
I don't believe in karma, but I had to throw that up! LOL

Called in to check, after reading the thread. One of the EVO's on my plan is having issues. The CSR asked if I wanted the EVO4G or the 3D. So I guess it might also have to do with luck of the draw :/ .

New Sprint Buy Out Plan

I just got off the phone with a rep dealing with bla bla bla on my phone then i started a convo about the SG3. I told him i am no where near due for a upgrade but i would love to get the phone he stated that sprint has a new buy out program. just to sum it up, sprint would buy my phone back from me ET4G ( in perfect condition)for 300 bucks for right now he said value might drop alil when SG3 release but it should be close to that. I think sprint is pretty cool for sprint to buy back my close to what i want ( unless someone on CL would pay more ) to help me get a new phone without upgrading. hope this helps anyone

Sprint has had Buyback for years now, they just recently started pushing it harder.
I can safely say that the buyback value on the E4GT is not $300, it's $105 like a previous poster said.

You can trade it in at THE SHACK and get $300: http://radioshack.cexchange.com/online/home/index.rails

There may be a deal for it, close to $300, when the sg3 drops.. I remember when the evo3d came out, they had a deal where they bought back your original evo for $150, which was a pretty good for that old of a phone.

Nice that radio shack trade in the e4gt is 300 I will take that offer n pay retail price for the sg3 when it comes out

I wouldn't count on getting anything close to that once the sg3 is out, or even the evo lte for that matter. Once this phone is not top of the line that price will plummet.

The price is already plummeting because of how slow and behind the times sprint is. I'm soon to sell my e4gt and swap to a gsm model and it looks like the gsm versions go for about 100 more. Kind of sad.

That's not the program they're talking about. That is the buyback value for recycling the old device. Not the amount to pay to get out of a contract.

Well me and my and my girlfriend both bought white epics back in december off craigslist for 350. I preordered the s3 and my gf decided to wait til see.how much of an upgrade it truly is before buying one. Well someone offered her a great deal on an evo lte so she gave it a shot. 1 day later she went back to her epic. Well i figured next week craigslist will be flooded with S2s and will go for less so i took the evo bc i know ill get 400 easy. I through the galaxy on craigslist for 350 and within an hour it was gone lol. This evos ok but the galaxy is better to me and my epic wasnt even rooted. Im a miss the s2 and cant wait for my s3.

The Galaxy S line has been a win from the start in my opinion. I kind of want to own every one just because I'm sold on the brand. It's always slightly ahead of its time. The software and hardware are deceptively durable (ie, always been able to port almost anything and nearly unbrickable if used properly.) It's like owning a Rolex. And I'm sure if you don't treat a Rolex well it'll break to your disappointment, as well. Also, Odin is a God in the Samsung world. Enjoy the fun. I test drove the SGS3 and it's gorgeous. I doubt anyone will be disappointed.

I picked up an EVO LTE on launch day and while in the store one of the employees offered me $250.00 for my Epic Touch. I went back the following Friday and sold it to her.
I was surprised i got that much for it.
A few weeks before that i sold my original Epic 4G for 100 bucks.
Now im left with my EVO 3D as a back up to my LTE.
I do think the Galaxy S devices hold their re-sale value pretty well.

If Samsung won't be able to sell the Epic 4G Touch anymore.......

That wouldn't be the case. It would ban new sales. Asurions devices are "already sold."

They'll still be required to sell or replace with w.e stock of E4GT they have left. And I bet there are a bunch of E4GT refurbs in stock to get rid of before they can replace your phone with another phone.

On my case my sisters is on my account and her phone took a accident (photon) ,i call for the replacement phone and they send the same phone but was bad the mic don't function and decide to call again for the replacement and the photon was placed on BO( back order) and the photon of the same equivalent was the Evo 3D .

Ahh, but that's the beauty of Boost and other MVNOs - they can shift the ESNs to their pools and dump the stock VERY quickly if they wanted to. And with NV continuing to roll out to major cities - we're supposedly up in November - I wouldn't be surprised.
OTOH perhaps this will motivate my MVNO to get the S3. But have to wait until June anyhow for the renewal discount.

thats not true. the photon equivalent is the epic touch. i went through 2 photons and asked for a different phone. they gave me an epic touch.

It is impossible to say what they will send you. It seems to be either a lateral move (similar range phone) or an upgrade. I have gotten 2 replacements from asurion in the past 2 years. I had an EVO 4g. I dropped it and the screen broke, they replaced it with an EVO 3d. The EVO 3D recently broke in my pocket (I have no idea how, I must have crushed it leaning over something) and they sent me the E4GT. The 3D is a generation newer than the EVO 4g, so that is an upgrade, and the SGS2 E4GT is similar spec'd to the E3D, so that seems lateral. That said, if I could choose any the E4GT seems to be the best of the bunch. My upgrade is in October but I think I will keep this for now!

I would guess they would have to send you another phone with wimax to match the e4gt. Whatever has a matching price on their website.

[Q] What is Sprint taking on the Epic 4G

I was planning to keep my Epic for a backup phone, but I've heard Sprint has a good buy back program when you upgrade. I plan to get an SGIII. My question is what is the going Sprint buy back price on a 2 year old Epic?

In perfect condition however and most users will fall under either poor or fair condition which results in like 15 to 20$ not worth it if you ask me if your going to keep it. If I were to get atleast 50 then yeah. But what's stupid is the evo gets more money yet its even older than the epic

I'm actually very impressed with the aging hardware of the epic.. It'll be the first phone I wouldn't be seriously disappointed falling back on in case a new phone broke. For this reason, I suggest you hang onto it.

The Evo was a mainstream phone. MUCH more people chose the Evo over the Epic. I am not saying this because I have an Evo,but these are the facts. (my wife owns and Epic).

Find a phone ATM near you (google it), I'm sure the machine will give you more than sprint... but as others have said, I will never get rid of my epic, especially for less than $50... (unless it was donated to somebody less fortunate, or a dev)

The reason for that was simply the cost of the Epic $300 vs $200 (I did get a $100 rebate later), because I went to the store to buy an Evo, but the Epic had just arrived and when I saw the displays side by side, it was no contest. Epic was and stii is superior. That happens often though, the best gets beaten by lesser tech due to price (ala VHS vs Betamax)

Maybe true, but HTC has many loyal customers. I like HTC Sense a lot, and although the S3 certainly seems like a better phone software-wise, I am still more interested in the EVO LTE because I prefer Sense over TouchWiz. Also, the EVO LTE has a kickstand! I may be one of the few people who still actually use it.
HTC vs Samsung boils down to user preference.
