hard to believe I haven't seen a single commercial on tv about this phone..and its their flagship phone now...
I guess they are focusing all their time on figuring out ways of taking things away from their best customers, and can't be wasting time on things like BUILDING their customer base...
Who's in charge over there now??????

It seems like sprint isn't doing commercial for it. Samsung is the one thats pushing commercials out for all 3 variants for usa networks.
They started pushing commercials out a few weeks back, but you really have to focus on the commercial in order to actually see that sprint carries the phone cause they mix all 3 phones together as if they are exactly the same.
I see atleast one everyday...

They are probably too busy preparing for the i-phone 5 fiasco, lol......"sigh"
I see the commercial saying that AT&T and Verizon have limits on data and T-Mobile will slow down your data if you go over 2gb but Sprint is the only one with unlimited data. Then it talks about the new galaxy SII.

Really wanted to flash this ROM but didn't want to lose the hacked hotspot. A co-worker told me he got a free 30 trial, so I thought id try. After hearing "oh no we cant do that" twice, I was transfered third time to Alex.
I was super polite and asked like I probably wouldn't get it. He asked me if I had tried it before and I lied and said no. Long story short, he gave me 3 free months-until March 14.
In my experience, being very polite makes people MUCH more willing to help you.

I can vouch for this as well. I had one of those 3g USB internet things and it was terrible. Half of the time it was unusable. They let me out of my 2 year contract a year early, waived the ETF's and reset that line so I could get this phone at new 2 year price. I killed them with kindness and they took care of me. Actually, Sprint has always been great as far as customer care with me

Why is this a shock or surprise? Have you never worked in customer service?
Everyone should be required to work in a customer service type of job for the first 6 months of their working life. It taught me a lot.
When I was in High-school I became the assistant manager of the place I worked and I'd bend over backwards to help customers who had issues, but were nice. The assholes got little or nothing.
When I worked in a call center the assholes got put on hold while I went pee or ate a snack, and then the call would "drop" LOL, good times.
I only wished it worked the same for me with Charter Cable and Dish Network. I have gotten the run around a few times from them. I have nothing negative to say about Sprint. Never a dropped call, 4g since launch day of the OG Epic and great customer service.

Just received my bill from Sprint today. It has a curious statement below the previous balance. It says Dec 14 Discretionary Sales Credit -$25.00!! The tech that gave me the trial hotspot gave me $25 off my bill as well without telling me- what a pleasant surprise after spending so much $ over the holidays. I wish I could tell his supervisor how great a job he did and how happy I am.

Not proof that you weren't pirating files or torrenting or doing excessive roaming usage.
All of which are valid reasons for Sprint to ban you from their service.

You know what, you are the exact type of person that completely disgusts me.
You take advantage of companies that are doing the right thing and are giving us the benefit of the doubt that we can be intelligent, responsible adults and have self control.
Sprint doesn't give us unlimited data so some jerk can compensate for his manhood issues by getting that usage number as high as possible and then boast about the abuse on the internet.
They do it so we can use our phones as intended without the need to second guess our usage.
You are quite literally ruining it for everyone.
As far as I'm concerned the carriers should create lists for people like you and ban you from ANY service with ANY of them.
I sincerely hope that you ARE downloading pirated files and you are taken to court over the matter.
Grow up.

I like how people blame this one dude for their slow internet speeds or possibly the disappearance of unlimited data. How many people do you really think use this much data? Not enough to force Sprint to change their data plans.
Sprint will change their data plans because they need the money, not because 5 people are using 100gigs a month. Call Sprint and talk to a rep about all their changes, the answer I always get is their aligning themselves with the other carriers so the only think they have left is tiered data.
Sprint loses money every qtr so they figure Verizon and AT&T must be doing something right. So let's raise our ETF fee to $350, get rid of the the premier program, raise the admin fee, remove discounts from any lines over 2nd, then remove discounts from the 2nd line as well. Do you really think Sprint will keep unlimited data for long? Do you think when they change it it will be because a few people use an obsessive amount of data?
Seriously, if you want to blame anyone, blame the idiots who made the iPhone what it is today. All these changes started to come when everyone knew the iPhone was coming to Sprint.
Sure the OP is a jerk and just posts these things to get a rise out of everyone, but I don't know why people let it get to them. You guys should really go to the iPhone section and yell at those dudes for all your wonderful changes.

how much intellect and maturity can you guys really expect from someone with an avi of an android's **** getting sucked by an inanimate fruit?
I personally don't have a problem with someone who wants to test the limits of what "Unlimited Data" means. Hey, it's his right to give it a shot the same way it's SPRINT's call to give him the boot if they think he is abusing their service.
In terms of the little beef with the self appointed SUPERMOD Matty: bringing someone's dead relative into a dumb argument over using Sprint's data is going too far. You could have come up with a less personal come back than that man. Just my $.02
I think we're done here. Would be nice if the intellect and maturity level would go up - but maybe I am asking too much.
How many people think they are too addicted to their phones? Everywhere I go, Im always on my phone, not just talking to someone. I mean using the phone for anything. Im using the phone while walking, driving, shopping, watching a movie at a theatre, eating, standing in line, waiting at the airport, gym, etc. People have told me to get off the phone so I need C.A. classes which stands for Cellphone Anonymous. Thats how bad my addiction is. Lol. Im always checking xda, androidcentral, weather, phonescoop. I know how to use a wireless PS3 CONTROLLER to play all of the emulator games such as nes, snes, genesis, gameboy, turbo grafx 16, n64, neo geo, and soon gba games. Lets hear from others.....
Imagine I get the Galaxy Note 2, it will be even worse. I couldnt be without my phone for more than 10 min. Think about it unlimited 4g fast internet with tmobile wherever I go.
The only place I try super hard not to be on my phone is at church on Sunday morning.

For what its worth of you look at the battery stats it looks like android os is killing alot of battery which is an ice cream sandwich bug. Dont know if it actually does kill as much as it states but. it could indicate something isnt allowing the phone to sleep properly. Hoping an os update will squeeze some more juicr outta this thing also hopng itll kill the overheating issue but well see

Sup people, Im Brian D, just got this phone Wednesday. Came from a HTC Evo4G that was way overdue for upgrade. I absolutely love this phone so far. As stated, the only thing that's not excellent, is the camera, which is decent...but far from awesome.
As far as speed, the phone seems like it knows what I'm gonna do before I even do it...it's so fast it's just crazy. I rooted on the first day, tweeked it a lil bit and did a quadrant test just out of curiosity and got this 7736...mind BLOWN! That is unreal, especially when the max I ever got outta my Evo was around 1200.
Also, my battery life has been excellent so far. Don't know what some of you guys are having issues with. On Eco-mode, and with moderate use aka not TRYING to burn my battery, here is where I am now...with battery left to spare. Overall, I'm loving this phone. It was between the Samsung GS3 and this phone for my upgrade and went with this because of future potential. I'm sure the bootloader will be unlocked soon...too many smart people out there are already trying to make it happen. And once it is unlocked...imagine the possibilities with this monsterous piece of hardware!!

Hey guys,
I am on the Sprint Employee plan (the wireless advantage club) and I want to get this phone and have an upgrade but it won't let me purchase. They say my account isn't allowed to get it yet. But I see that you guys are actual employees and have it. Did you buy it unlocked or something? Thanks.
I'm Tony from Ohio. I've been a lurker here for a few years now. This is only my second Android smartphone and I absolutely love it. Can't wait to see the bootloader unlocked and a big thanks to everyone working towards it!

To be honest that means somebody on your plan has an outstanding balance or balance that needs to be paid, I had prob 10 people at one point and no one paid there bills on time , some people didn't understand how the program worked and way over spent it was just a nightmare, so now its me and the wife that's it. I got mine through my outside account and then swapped it on to my line NP as I wasn't able to upgrade but it says it is available through swac accounts. Did the person that your under order it for you or send you the swac link to shop or are you just trying to upgrade on sprint.com ?

Hm, well I do have an outstanding balance for my monthly bill due on the 27th that I was going to pay this weekend. I found out today that the Employee I'm under has to order it for me so he's going to check soon. I have an upgrade, so if I pay my bill will he be able to order it for me? Some people say employees can't get it yet.
My whole story: Ordered HTC Evo 4G LTE on Nov 2. Got it a week after (hit by Sandy :/). Sense is slow and buggy and I love the hardware, hating the software. But since I still was in 14 days and I really really wanted this phone, decided to cancel. Waiting for my return kit for this phone but I need a phone to hold me over when that comes since no one would let me order the Optimus G. So basically, I have the EVO now, and I'm waiting till the G is available. I'll be returning this EVO by Thanksgiving so I really wanted the G by then. If not, I may be phoneless for a couple days since I have no previous Sprint phone as this is my first time with them. Ah well.
I appreciate the insight.
Yea even tho its a lil cheaper advantage lines become a pain in the butt , its easier and almost as cheap to just send friends a link to the referral program
