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.
What was the point s2 is so similar. Should wait for nexus jellybean come Nov. You will be begging for jellybean leaks this time next year

Will you be selling your E4GT?
The thing about Wire fly is u can't change the phone on the upgraded line until 6 months after purchase, otherwise they bill u an etf.

He means you can't upgrade your secondary line with the evo, and immediately swap the evo on the primary line. Unless you're six months out from upgrade period. I do that every time with Sprint.

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.
Don't get the white one

Can you expand on this a little bit? I have a BOA CC already. From looking on the add it up site i see you only get 5% cash back on electronics. Can you post any info you have on this $50 cash rebate?
Shoot I went from canceling my 199$ 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.

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.

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.

Title says it all, I just had some good luck.
I have the EVO 3D (which I used my yearly upgrade on, what a waste) and I'm suffering from not getting any signal and missing phone calls, voicemails, etc, even 10 feet from my airrave at my house. I tried calling sprint tech support multiple times but to no avail, nobody would listen and kept talking about the network ticket that's open in my area and that would fix the problem I was having (even after I mentioned I have an airrave and still having the problem 10 ft from it.)
So I had placed an order for the E4GT on the 20th online at sprint.com. I was just fed up, and I was willing to drop 5 bills on the phone. About 2 hours later I decided to call and cancel the order for a number of reasons. The order was successfully canceled.
Yesterday the damn phone showed up on my front porch after I arrived home. I called that evening to return the phone. The helpful CR said that the order was successfully canceled and my account wouldn't be charged. This is the part that I couldn't believe. She said that it was up to me if I wanted to return the phone or not. She was even offered to activate it for me.
Just when I've lost all hope for Sprint, something like this happens lol.
And I'm enjoying this phone, it's definitely a lot smoother than the EVO 3D, and it can make friggin phone calls.
Hope it works out. I think they have a different department that looks at the inventory and figures out discrepancies. One time they shipped two phones for a single order. Called and told them and they said basically the same thing, their mistake but there is no record of the second shipment so there's nothing to do on their end. A week later someone in a different department called and said they shipped a second phone by mistake and they would send a prepaid package to return the phone or would charge full retail.
I wouldn't say you are home free yet.....
So the question is, are you willing to pay for it if they find out now that you had a chance to play with it or would you go back your 3D?
dont be so happy,yet
they will find out,you will see it on your next bill trust me...
At least he has a chance to argue his case with the evo problem.

One has to wonder if there is just not some glitch in their system that will rectify itself during some batch processing that might not occur until the end of your billing cycle or Sprint's Inventory reconciliation at the end of their monthly cycle. Most of the time the records for transactions are just marked deleted or cancelled until such time as the batch processing takes place and then those records are processed and compared against other tables in the database.

My wife and I have been eligible for an upgrade for awhile now. Finally a phone came out that's good enough to ditch my OG Epic. It's gonna be hard giving up a hardware keyboard as I'm typing this with it now BUT the note 2 specs are simply amazing!
I'm patiently waiting in hopes of a Black Friday or Cyber Monday deal but I have yet to see or hear of anything for the Note 2. I was hoping to see a buy one get one 1/2 off or 25% off all smart phones or something to that effect so I don't have to come off $600 in upgrading 2 devices.
Now that the multi-window update is out it's even harder to wait but if I can save even $100 I'll gladly wait another week or 2.
So has anyone seen or heard anything that will justify the wait? I'm not a patient person by nature and I've been following this forum since it was created and it's not looking too bad considering the device is still in it's infancy.

I saw the leaked ad for the GS3 for $50 but imo it's not really an upgrade from my epic, I'm running same software with a keyboard. I might ask for an early upgrade on my daughter's intercept tho for the GS3 but not if it's in-store only. I don't get sucked into waiting in lines for hours, especially here in Michigan where there might be snow on the ground by then!
An Amazon deal would be awesome, I did all my holiday shopping on amazon last year and their shipping is super fast! If anyone sees or hears of anything lemme know! Appreciate it!

if I can get the coupon code, we might just be able to swap lines, so we can keep that number.

If you are the administrator of both lines then you will be able to do it no problem. Also I think Best Buy charges tax on the full retail of the phone which will add an additional $60 depending on your location. I always get it from the link I posted earlier because it is the most reliable in my humble but accurate opinion. If you need any additional help transferring phones between lines, just PM me. I have a lot of experience helping friends with that.

I did it Friday night. Upgraded my wife's line, then called customer service and swapped her old phone back to her line and swapped the One on to my unlimited line. Perfecto. Except it's 50 bucks cheaper the next day.

It literally took about 4 minutes to swap the phones around. Worth it.

go back with a receipt, they usually have 14-day price guarantee
Yeah just seen this deal time to switch from Note 2 to this.....time for something alittle different!
Bought my One on Friday from Amazon. Saw this post, called Amazon for them to price match before realizing they dropped the price too. Refund coming my way.
Thanks for posting!

Got the phone, having dinner and then home to do the swap. Rep at BB is a former Verizon rep and also said I could just swap sims. I will probably do it online as I don't think my tbolt Sim will fit in the One without cutting it.

Switcheroo complete !!! $54.86 and I still have unlimited data!!
I'm so pissed....I'm 7 days out of my return policy......$150 too much, so disappointed
I am still within my return period with Costco which ends on Tuesday. Can anyone tell me how to get the BB deal and keep my number?
Would going into BB, buying it, transferring my number, then going to Costco and returning it work?
Thanks!
Who here said $150 is too much mine was 199+tax I swear some people never stop complaining

Upgrading Through Insurance/ Extended Warrenty
I went to the Verizon store and asked a rep how i could upgrade my Incredible 4G to the HTC One, since my phone was cracked he told me I had to go through insurance and pay $100 deductable to get it replaced. Would this still be able to work with the Best Buy version??? I currently am due for an upgrade but I don't want to loose my Unlimited Data at the moment or shell out the full retail price for the One. And is the $50 deal only for new 2 yr contract?

This is what I did. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44892727
I kept hemming and hawing for weeks about whether to get the One or S4. Seeing the price at BB clinched it. Wanted to continue with HTC. I had the Thunderbolt since it release. Thank goodness for root and developers. Now I wait patiently for root to be obtained without having to send my phone out to be s-off.

Try to see if Costco will price match. If not return it and go to BB.

He meant he paid $150 too much. He bought it for $199 but now it's $50, so he could have saved $150.
I don't know about you, but I generally like saving $150 whenever I can.

I like the seeing the price of phones go down, but I can't help but think that when a phone like the One drops to $50, people get the impression that HTC is not a good phone.
My wife has an s4 and my sister in law just got one. I told her she should have gotten the One and her response was "I'm not getting an HTC."
There are so many people that won't even touch an HTC phone, and I think it is because the carriers drop the price immediately so it looks like a failed product. I haven't checked, but I wouldn't be surprised if the S3 costs more than the One now. I am quite sure the Moto X and s4 will not drop in price anytime soon.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, that's exactly what I was saying.
For Sprint customers, the LG G2 page is up and it is $199 on 2 year contract. It is available both in black and white.

Puts me even more on the fence. Price is right ($99 if I add a new line) but I'm now torn on maybe going to T-Mobile, especially with that new global roaming.

Sigh. Why such a long wait?
So they will essentially be 2 MONTHS behind the other carriers. Probably needed more time to install their super special bloatware.

FYI for those upgrading instead of starting new with Sprint, pre-orders are cheaper on Best Buy's site.
Sprint price - $199.99
Best Buy price - $99.99

Not for existing customers. It showed as $199.99 for me when pricing the upgrade. If i'm doing something wrong, please let me know.

Another Best Buy incentive - $50 gift card via email if you pre-order with Best Buy. Decision made, order placed!
Edit - well, order almost placed. Not going through on the Best Buy website for some reason, just getting a generic "There was an issue while processing your order." message. On phone with them.

What is the difference between ordering the phone at Best buy vs Sprint corporate? Will I still get the same service and support with sprint if I upgrade with Best Buy? I've always wondered this and bought my phones directly from sprint. With the current pricing at Sprint, seems like BB is definitely the better way to go.
I am on a 1600 minute, unlimited texting and data family plan with TEP insurance if it matters.
If you buy from third parties like best buy, sprint will charge u 50 bucks on your account (according to a sprint rep)

I have upgraded through Best Buy and Amazon in the past. Your plan with Sprint does not change. Your Sprint Service/Support does not change. You have the ability to add TEP to your new phone (you may have to call Sprint to do this, but you have a window of time - i think 30 days - to add TEP to any phone).
The only thing I would be wary of is if you are in a grandfathered plan like SERO. Then you need to deal with Sprint directly.
I have never been charged extra by Sprint by going with a 3rd-party. The only possible extra fee (on top of the phone cost) is a $36 activation fee that Sprint charges, as well. Even if Sprint didn't charge this, Best Buy still comes out ahead.
I wonder what the chances are Best Buy will ship earlier or later than Sprint?

As an FYI, I was not able to get the order to process on BestBuy.com, or through the 1-800-BestBuy. I had to go in-store to preorder. And even then, I had to work it out with the mobile manager to get the $50 gift card offer.
Now, that pre-order doesn't commit me to the device, as I haven't actually paid for it yet. So if anyone has any success with BestBuy.com, please let me know!!

My pre-order just seemed to go through smoothly!
And I can confirm you'll have to pay a $36 activation fee with Sprint (not payed with the Best Buy order).

At what point did your order processing fail? Maybe a problem with the "Submit to Sprint" part, or something with your browser? or just bad luck lol
