With 3 more days left, the evo3D went up for sale to Sprint premier customers 3 days before release. Being the GSII drops on Fri, is Sprint gonna open up orders to premier customers tonight? I haven't heard anything about it or got any e-mails.

I'm ordering one for a friend, I like doing everything online and getting it shipped. Usually I will get my personal phone at the store (I did for the evo3D) but if I am ordering stuff for other people I try to do it all online makes things much easier. The evo3D they were actually letting people order it 3 days early and shipping it out. It wasn't just a pre-order for release day.

Is the echo even for sale still? I hated the hardware on it the second I saw it. You would think they would have a special early buy for premier customers being this is a premier phone. Where is the best place to buy it off contract online?

Looks like $540 @ wirefly and $530 at amazon wireless off contract. No tax and if Sprint isn't gonna do early ordering might as well just get if from amazon. I'm guessing Sprint is gonna be $550+ & tax
I am on a major business account and I ordered mine yesterday. I won't get it until Monday tho since Sprint can't ship it till Friday when it's released or so I was told.

Sprint is 500 according to my local store
So it's about a wash from Amazon considering sales tax. I know when you buy from Sprint online there isn't an activation fee. Is there an activation fee from like amazon or wirefly when you buy a phone off contract?
Ok, so I found this site that sells wholesale electronics called ElecStreet. It says you can purchase an unlocked SGS II Epic 4G Touch for $202.50 at the lowest "VIP" price.
I need to know if this looks legit or if anyone has purchased merchandise from this site.
The site also says if you buy two items and spend over $400, you get a free iPod Touch or Sony PSP. ???
Please feel free to investigate!

Yep.
On the bottom, their "certifications" stickers are not clickable to verify, which they should be. And their one "Verify" button points to some Chinese website.

I can tell you that they are a China based company. That being said I know nothing else about them, and everything they sell looks in now way legit AT ALL.
For example:
http://www.elecstreet.com/views.asp?hw_id=2485
That is an Apple iMac MC814LL/A for $399(359.10 VIP according to them) That is a $2000 Apple computer. No way in hell a company even at wholesale would ever be able to sell that computer for even their non-VIP price.
They also advertise
http://www.elecstreet.com/views.asp?hw_id=2454
That is a Sony VAIO Z Series VGN-Z591U which retails for $3200-$3400 and they want under $400 for it. Not even possible to obtain it for that price, even if they got it straight from the Sony factory.
My official statement is they are going to take your money and hide in their country, and you will be forced to dispute the claim with your bank.
Yeah don't do it bro. You will send money to them and u wont see anything.

Bogus! Like posted above the "verifed " icons should be clickable and lead you to said website verifying the website. Those icons either do nothing or lead to china crap!

i just might buy one!
if you do decide to buy one from here, use paypal. your protected. if you dont get your order you file a claim and if its bogus, paypal will investigate and refund you your purchase amount.
this is why i buy crap on ebay from china sellers. if its a fake phone you get, you also get a refund because they are advertising it as legit. take a screen shot of the page before you buy.

I have found that they are a real Trading company in China, they have a phone number, physical address and live chat support that is not automated or a bot.
The live chat person said that PayPal was not available until AFTER the first purchase which is through Western Union.
I can't find any bad reviews or customers saying it is a scam or that they had an issue with the site.
I just don't know.
Ummm hello! That yells you right there, pay by western union, lmao! I hate for you to lose your money, but I won't feel bad for you as there are plenty of people warning you!
Once you pay via western union then you can use paypal, LOL that is a good one!!!

The thing is, they told me I can't use PayPal until after being a return customer, with that being said, they want me to send a Western Union payment to a Zhen Zhang?
I just don't trust it...
Oh, and the reason you don't see bad reviews is they will burn that site out in a week, change a few pics and make a new site. They post on craigslist all the time, same crap!

damn! that certainly makes it an inconvenience. paypal was the clincher for me. if you do buy it, let us know how it works out. i can wait. i might wait to buy one until cm7 is available for it.

the sketchy part is the western union. i mean, the whole site is sketchy, but paypal is safe. if you have to do western union first then i wouldnt do it. you might be able to check with paypal to see if they have any complaints against the site.

well, just for kicks i tried to follow through with a purchase. when i chose to check out with paypal it took me back to a list of their payment methods.

It would be nice if we had a "for sale" thread in this forum though.
One for Europe and one for North America. And everyone posts their accessories for sale ONLY in one of those two threads. Keep 'em all in one place.
Just so we don't have to go wading through dozens of adds to find something for OUR phone for sale.
If you really bought it 4 days ago Why don't you return it?
+1 you got Best Buy robbed.

Price is $15 :good:!!! Please post if inetersted :cyclops:
So I'm ready to get one of these babies, and I saw a OP3 for sale in a town near me so I can avoid the shipping delay. The picture shows the phone is still sealed (unopened), but the seller says that he got it as a prize and doesn't need it, which raises some alarms. I've heard of people selling stolen/financed/blacklisted phones. If the phone is factory sealed, how can I verify its legitimacy? The price is a flat 400, same as from the website.
Is this a scam? Should I just order from the website and wait an extra week? Or, what papers should I request from the seller to make sure I don't get ripped off?
Dude, just buy it from OnePlus directly, I even got the no payments and no interest for 6 months promotion they had with PayPal. Just wait a few days it wasn't even a week, I bought it the day it came out and received it today.

I have been trying to purchase the OP3 from the official website for days. All my cards keep getting declined, despite working on Amazon, Newegg/other places. Their website and payment processor are a wreck. So at this point I just want to buy the phone somewhere without getting scammed.

I don't think you should worry that much. If the box is sealed and he's got a receipt there's nothing to worry about. But your only problem is going to be the warranty. I was chatting with their customer service today and asked if I bought a oneplus 3 from a private seller would the warranty be valid. They said that theres no guarantee they would honor the warranty which is just retarded if you ask me lol

Some people finance the phones, then sell them for cash and stop making payments. Then the imei gets blocked.
The guy says he won a phone in a work contest and 'doesn't need it', He says he has a distributor slip that came with it, which im not sure is a receipt. I see lots of these types of posts on craigslist, so it raised a few red flags. I talked to oneplus support today and they said that if I call them with the serial number they will be able to determine whether the device is paid for and all additional information. I think that's good enough honestly.
I would only buy from the official website. Oppo sold the OnePlus One when it first came out and there were a few issues with the units. Even from a major distributer that. That being said, I would not buy from some one who said they "won" a device. People who are excites about the new phone are bound to take pictures. This person could easily get there hands on those pictures and pass them off as their own.

Yeah, I'd buy from them, but I can't. Their website doesn't work. I'll talk to support tomorrow again but if none of my cards work IDK what i'm going to do.
They are normally pretty adamant with their support. They responded when I broke my One withing two days. They should respond pretty quickly. Good luck!
Looks like I made the right call, the guy stopped responding after I asked for IMEI. I was finally able to order the phone from the website and with priority shipping it came in 4 days. Thanks guys
At the moment this beast is only available to buy outright from carfone warehouse for a whopping £2299.99 no change here been waiting for this for a while now just hope they offer it on contract soon.

I purchased at Clove last week with Paypal. Less than $200 over list.
Good Morning
I emailed yesterday to say that we have been offered some stock from another source, but it is a higher price – now £2010.00 as updated on our website.
Would you like to pay the extra amount and have a phone dispatched to you in the next 2 days? We cannot guarantee that we will be able to get any of the lower priced stock. Apologies for this situation.
Your patience and understanding is appreciated during this period of crisis.

Out of topic i see you located in US ! How is the phone ? Whats your previous device ?
It works great on ATT. Using stock apps without difficulty. Messaging, voicemail,
contacts, maps, G mail, Google searches all work in apps provided. Had to add Gboard apk to get a keyboard I liked. Personal preference. Provided Swift keyboard is pretty nifty. Also have a Galaxy fold. Used Phone Clone to transfer contacts and whatever from Galaxy fold.
Nice ! Thank you, i also sold my galaxy fold, got pixel 4xl sold it today., and ordered Mate XS. Google is only keyboard to go I agree...the only thing i see no one can’t sign in in to google maps....I guess time to use Waze...and its sucks
