Returning my touch! - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

But for different reasons I got so anxious I went and got it at best buy for $199. Well I found out MA has recently implemented tax on the retail price so I had to pay $480 for 2 phones + $72 for 2 activation's. I am so returning these back to best buy and picking them up from Amazon next week when activation's are free. So instead of spending like $550 it will be $300 straight up... so much better.

LMAO, I was expecting someone to tell me why the E4GTouch sucked but you just want a better deal lol. I should have expected this kind of post because the Epic 4G Touch is so good, even Apple fanatics can't knock it. LOL

I was able to turn in my old epic and put it towards the epic 4g. I think i payed $113 for my new epic at BB well plus the fee that the money hungry folks at sprint require for upgrading...
Oh, and this phone is the nicest phone i have ever had the chance to put my hands on so far, besides the fact that the sammy wall charger doesnt work. Highly recommend this phone to anyone in the market!

you STILL have to pay the $36 dollar activiation upgrade fee. YOU WILL NOT pay it at the store it goes on YOUR FIRST BILL Through Sprint Directly., they are not waving the fees anymore.
The Rep at sprint told it doesnt matter where you buy it from online or Retail at Best Buy, the HIDDEN fee will show up on your next Bill regardless he said, its the new SPRINT WAY!! damn money hungry hawks.
I Paid $199 plus $36 and change for my taxes. out the store the phone was only $236 and change. but my new Bill Statement is where it HURTS.
the new $10 dollar fee is bull****. and now im going to have to pay $42 more dollars on my first new bill for the Upgrade Fee.
over $100 dollars for one moth bill is going to HURT me this month. Thank god I found a way to make extra money that will pay for all this so It as if Im not spending my money for this. LOL gotta love the benefits when you get them.

Yeah, the 36 bucks will be on the next bill.

What will we pay if we return the Evo within the 30 day time?

I haven't payed my first bill yet and I'm thinking of getting the iPhone because of all the issues this phone is having, I know this would be better in the Sprint forums but for some reason my Evo won't let me post there so what will I have to pay if I take it in?

At a Sprint store there should be no cost.
There is no cost if you were a new Sprint customer. If you were already a Sprint customer there is a $35 restocking fee for the phone.

yup no cost whatsoever, unless you use send international text messages or anything not covered by your plan, then you would pay usage.
if you bought it through other retailers like best buy you wont be getting those 50 dollars you used to preorder it back...
Ok that's where I bought, will they refund me for the phone?

You would get the $50 pre-order money back. The phone was still $199. The $50 pre-order money plus the $149 paid when the phone was picked up.

You will get the preorder money back on a gift card. Not cash/credit like you paid for the rest of the phone with. It was very clearly stated by BB and RS that those were non-refundable.

im pretty sure you dont get the money back... for the preorder card....
i mean that preorder was basically a 50$ best buy gift card you bought that you used for your phone... that money is gone you arent getting another 50 bucks when you return your device....im pretty sure same goes for radioshack
As someone has mentioned, you don't get the pre-order $50 card money back in cash. You just get one more $50 card that you have to use with the retailer.
I did not know this. When I returned my EVO 4G to RS, I got another $50 gift card. I did not want to buy anything at RS so finally I decided to Order my iPhone there. I don't want to waste my $50 on RS crap and/or expensive items.
If you were lucky enough to get one without pre ordering, you'll get a full refund. My sister is the one that put me up to getting this phone, she works for sprint. I happen to love it so I'm keeping it.

From the G2X to the Galaxy 2

Im a tmo customer desperately trying to get rid of this g2x. Problem is tmo wants to charge me $540 for the phone, and my upgrade is nowhere near due. Is there ANY way I could somehow get this phone from tmo for the contract price ? any loop holes or something ?
any chance you can cancel your current contract? or transfer it to some body else in your family/friends perhaps?
then open a new contract new phone number, and get the SGS2
then swap the SIM card, and you are done
Not really. Otherwise everyone would do this every 6 months. Just sell the g2x and buy the gs2. You can get up to like 275 or so depending on condition. Subtract that from the retail of the gs2 and it's basically the same. Plus you can get them to split the payments up on your bill.

i was on the phone asking a rep about the split payments and she denied that they even do that. I always sells my phones on craigslist to upgrade, did it with the hero, evo, galaxy 1, g2x...but craigsloist is FLOODED with people selling the g2x i didnt post on it thinking i wouldnt be able to sell mine since there are so many postings. But thanks looks like i will have to just go the normal route. Thanks for the info.
She lied. I've done that with a bb9700,hd2 on contract,g2. They split it into 4 payments. The first you pay upfront with all sales tax included. So say 529+tax youd pay 132 or so plus the tax on 529 today. Then starting on your December bill, you'll have an extra 132 added to your bill the next 3 cycles. Essentially,your first payment delays a month of it being on your bill.
Also depends on credit I assume.

Just rob somebody if you have to. The G2X is that bad. I am very extremely happy with this device coming from a G2X. I will never buy an LG product of and kind again.

Ditto to this! I mean, the features offered on the g2x are 2nd to none, but the execution of these features are horrendous. LG beat me on that purchase, but surely lg and me will not be transacting again in the near future! I'm digging this sgs2 tho!

SGS2 cost me about $560 w/ tax, and I was able to sell ph G2X locally for $250. Took 1 hour on craigslist. So, I paid $310 for the phone, but very much worth it.

Best Buy or Sprint.

Are there advantages to getting the HTC LTE at Best Buy instead of Sprint?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I prefer Best Buy. The biggest reason for me is because with sprint you have to send in for the mail in rebate's while with Best Buy they are instant so you don't have to wait 6-8 weeks to get your money back. Also sometimes the prices are actually cheaper at Best Buy.
Also, the sales people at Sprint stores work on comission while those at BestBuy do not.....the sales people at Sprint are like used car salesmen. They will promise/say anythnig to get you to buy something so thety make money while those at Best Buy do not since tehy get paid the same regardless and thus are usually more honest.

Doesn't matter. The first 30 days are covered from both places, if you have a problem in the first 30 days just bring it back and they should give you a new device. After the 30 days, you have the warranty good through one year, and you have to take it to a sprint repair center.

Very good question, and glad you asked actually.
Would probably respectfully say, Best Buy would be your best bet. You get the phone the same day as you do with Sprint, but the mail in rebate is already subtracted from the original retail price which is a +.
Hope we helped you come to a conclusion

Best buy also offers the buy back program. I got it for free but I think it now runs like 30-40 bucks. Basically they take the full price of the phone before discounts and offer you a percentage back which varies depending on when u bring it back. I know after a year they give u 40%. So the evo was what 650-700 when I bought it I think. Well after a year they pay u 40% of that. It goes down a little after that but slowly. Just makes u be able to update every year still without the upgrade.
Much appreciated to all. Sounds like I'm going to best buy.

Mail in rebate??
So wait, the $199 pricetag is after a mail-in rebate through Sprint?? I was unaware of this. So you pay like $299 up front?
Does Best Buy have the May 7th pre-order also?
Oh... I think I have a $50 BB gift card! That may have made this decision easier. Haha.

Correct. Some stores/managers MAY wave the mail-in and give it to you instantly, but I doubt it.
And yes, BB will get the release the exact same day as sprint.
I choose best buy. They hook you up. I got my og EVO from there, and they threw in a case for 5.00$

Believe it or not Radio shack is amazing to buy phones. they are so desperate on phone selling. a few of my friends work there and they always have amazing deals for phones either with discounted price or with free goodies.
so how much is that new evo LTE gonna cost retail? I'll have a crappy $150 rebate, but i'm not paying $650 for that phone. Is there around this at all? threaten to cancel?
which would be better then?

I believe I heard $550 MSRP, but that seems pretty low actually.
You can do the buyout program. It's like $20 per month early; something like that.

theres pros and cons to both. Sprint has more freedom to do things but Best buy can many times give you more out the door but yeah Radio shack is stepping up.

Goodbye...

I called Sprint to buy out the rest of my contract (was eligible for upgrade on Oct. 1st), after about 25 minutes on the phone I agreed to pay $45 and my upgrade date will be reset! I love my E4GT but I just can't resist the new Evo. It's been fun... without the ICS kernel source... with a WVGA screen... but it's time to move on. The Evo is the best phone on any carrier now. I've put up with Sprint's 3G for this long, I suppose I can put up with it for another year. I don't get WiMAX at my house anyway, so it's not like I'm losing much.
Would be funny if they released official ICS/kernel source on the 18th. I'm not worried. I am excited.
Plus, for anyone wondering, try calling and asking about the buyout program! Just make it sound like you've already talked to people at a corporate store, like you KNOW what you're talking about. There's a $119.99 deal at Wirefly for the Evo, I think you get a $10 Google Wallet credit too. After the $36 upgrade fee the phone is only $146! Sure, you don't get it on launch day, but I think saving almost $100 is a good reason to wait an extra two days.

Whoa. You just made me jump off the couch. Do you know about Bank of America's Add it Up for wirefly? if you buy it through the BoA Add it Up link to Wirefly, you also get $50 cash rebate about 4 months later (just to make sure you stick with the phone).
I already preordered from sprint for my girl's line but I can cancel anytime before it's shipped I believe....
Also, $45 buyout for an Oct 1 upgrade? That seems way low. I'm due Sept 1 and that's making me think about it...
And I also think the Evo LTE will be a small step above our SGSII Epic Touch.
Edit. Can you link us to the $119, I'm seeing $149.
The EVO LTE is going to be awesome. I just bought the One X on AT&T and it is a MUCH better phone than the E4GT. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade. I would go back to Sprint for the EVO LTE but there is no Sprint LTE in my area, but with AT&T's I can get 25-28mbps down, and it's everywhere. Can't argue with that lol.
I spent a good amount of time in the At&t store today fapping to the phones. Loving the One X they have.

Shoot I went from canceling my 199$ preorder with Sprint, to Best Buy (149.99)and now finally wirefly at 119$. I am more than happy to save another 50$ on the phone, and end up paying $70.
Although I have a feeling paying $70 might be a pipe dream.

I have mine on eBay now its at $99.99 it is in perfect condition and has tons of accessories, people better start bidding Lol, it has about 4 days left though. I saw that price on best buy though which is very good compared to every other trade in place. Sprint said they would give me $106 for a mint S3 ummm no thanks. The thing is that I'm buying this phone, either the S4 or the One, off contract full price so best buy always charges like $150 more for off contract phones. Its not worth it.

I saw that price on best buy though which is very good compared to every other trade in place. Sprint said they would give me $106 for a mint S3 ummm no thanks. The thing is that I'm buying this phone, either the S4 or the One, off contract full price so best buy always charges like $150 more for off contract phones. Its not worth it.

With my selling experience on eBay like 85% of the bids come within a couple hours of the end time. Trust me you'll get $300+. PM me and let me know what you get! I'm thinking of doing the same and paying the difference to get the S4 with no upgrade. I have a ton of accessories too.

Will do, and thats what i was thinking about a bunch of bids coming in the end. Also I figure tomorrow is payday for some people. I better get $300 lol AT LEAST! I have 3 cases 3 oem batteries and one extended battery and two chargers and a S3 with the box in perfect condition. Thats why when I went into Sprint and the guy was saying" Just pay the early upgrade for $100 and give us your old S3 we will knock $106 off the upgrade price which is $450. lol I asked if he was smoking crack and then said he77 no. Lol. It was funny and sad to listen to them try and "convince" me to do a early upgrade.

Could that $106 go towards and upgrade ?
Either way I would be better off selling my gs3 for $250 minimum and that would cover the upgrade fee.

So this is how it works. If you are eligible for a upgrade or buy the phone off contract, you get to keep your device. If you want to upgrade early it is whatever price they say depending on where you are in your contract and they take the device you are using and give you some ungodly amount for it, whatever they give you for the phone goes toward the upgrade. Which is a ripoff.

You can get like $280-$350 (maybe more if you include accessories) with a good ESN. Of course, eBay charges a little fee though -__-

If you would have checked Thursday 4/25/13 best buy was giving $350 for the phone as trade in value. I had buy back on my phone which guarantees me $280 right now. But because the trade in value was higher than buy back, I would have received $376.50 if I traded my phone in. I was stupid not to do it. I still get $280 but that's almost $100 difference lol

Re:
If you want to do the early upgrade what you need to do is find an old phone from
Sprint with a clean esn and trade it in. Then you can pay the early upgrade fee and get phone with subsidize price. Then sell the phone that your S3 on ebay or craiglist foe 300+ and that way you'll save some money. For the early upgrade fee they just need a phone to be trade in but it doesn't has to be your current phone it just need be a clean esn phone. You trade in like an old blackberry or the first Evo or it could even be feature phone like Moto Rzor but with clean esn.

Yes this is what I was going to do but it's not worth it to buy the early upgrade. I'm just going to buy the phone off contract.

All together how much would doing the early upgrade cost? Cause buying off contract is like $750+, obviously if it's cheaper than that, then doing the early upgrade would be wroth it!

From browsing the HTC One forum you can ask bestbuy to price match the retail price for the carrier. Some say it worked, others said it didn't. Can't hurt to try.

I already asked they said they price match everything but phones. I'm just selling mine and buying new off amazon, they have the same prices as Sprint.
