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?
$32 according to their buyback website

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

Condition doesn't matter. If it's not good enough for them to use as a refurb, it gets parted out or recycled. Working, not working, cracked screen, whatever $32 right now.

I wouldn't want to sell mine back anyway, i'd keep it for testing purposes and because mine is still in great shape

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)

Also notice how Samsung's flagship device release is relatively close to the release of HTC's flasgship device. This has happened multiple times including the first Android phones on Sprint
HTC Hero->Samsung Moment
HTC Evo->Samsung Epic 4G
HTC Evo 3D->Samsung Epic 4G Touch

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.

There may be cases with kickstands like you said, but those aren't the same as having one built in. Especially to me, cause I don't like having a case on my phone. My friend had the Evo before his upgrade, and I would play with the kickstand all the time.

They still have to advertise different products. Does honda just advertise the accord? It's better than the civic. Does Nissan only advertise the Maxima? It's better than the Altima. The fact is different items appeal to different people, phones are no different.

I've wondered about that, too. They promoted the Evo3D on their website for over a month before it was available... I never saw mention of the ET4G until launch day.
In fact, the picture of the Evo3D with that creepy-looking little girl is still up there.
I wonder if Sprint is having the same issues with Samsung that caused Verizon to relegate them to Red-headed step child status... Too many returns due to radio issues.

Very aggressive TV Galaxy SII ad campaign happening right now by samsung.

I thought the same as well. When I was calling around for this phone some employees never even heard of it.
The Evo3D Killer!!!
Your all wrong. You have to advertise the worse product for it to even sell. The people that know what's going on know what phone to buy without seeing an advertisement. If they felt like they were going to have a problem selling the epic touch then they would advertise for it. Remember it does cost money to advertise so why spend money if you don't have to. Also there really wasn't that much advertising for any of the sgs1 and it out sold every manufacturer.

Greetings,
I have the Epic Touch 4G right now and I've already gone through a few. The first was due to LOS (bad, like 10x a day) the second kept overheating, and now my third one hit 122F and shut off and I haven't been able to get it turned on again.
Does anyone know if sprint would trade me for a Photon, or something similar? I know they used to allow you to trade the EVO for a Nexus S. I have TEP, so it shouldn't be an issue.
PS: I love this phone and don't want to leave it, but I have to have something working as my wife will be delivering my little girl in a week ...
Call sprint and explain your situation. They may offer you an option to return and renew your upgrade. Otherwise find a trade on xda plus cash? Im sure you could trade for anything on sprints line up except the iphone and get some cash back.
Im 100% I want to trade for the next best thing. My phone caused me to miss a call for a phone interview. id even be willing to trade for a photon + cash at this point.

I probably wouldn't mind the photon. I'm just not a huge fan of Motorola's UI, but I suppose I could mod it and get away from it. If this phone wasn't such a crap shoot I would love to keep it, but I must have the worst luck with this phone as my friend has one and hasn't had a single issue with his.
Do you think it would be worth it to exchange this phone one more time and hope for the best? It seems like if it's going to die on me it does it within a week, but sadly my wife will probably be in labor within that time.
BTW, I already have an appointment to head into Sprint tomorrow and see what they say about switching it out for a Photon.

For some odd reason the phone is working again. I will probably keep it around and hope for the best, but we'll see what's going on. I looked into both the HTC EVO 3D, and the Photon. I still can't get behind the lack of features on the 3D. Sure, the 3D could be "fun", but I am sure it would only be fun for about 30 minutes and then I would be bored with it.The photon looks good short of the terrible UI, and that Pentile RGBW display ...

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!

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.

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.

I was thinking about getting the evo lte but I'm now leaning more to the optimus. Is it really that good?? I'm coming from using an evo 3d...
I really want to get it but I'm still not sure.. Thanks for the help..
As of right now my opinion is this. The phone is solid. The corners are kind of harsh. The hardware is fantastic. Surprisingly from what I have heard in the past on LG the ui is pretty good.
At the moment it has the best specs on Sprint period.
Now, when our comes to development, we will have to wait and see. It is the 4th highest selling Android oem on the 3rd largest provider. From that it is easy to say the S3 on At&t gets more attention. This will also never get the following of the Nexus. But, it does have development.
I would get it. You can also wait for the Flossy seal of approval if you like.

I got the EVO LTE and returned it for this beauty. I only miss the kickstand. This phone flies while the EVO froze.

This phone is awesome, I've played Need for Speed Most Wanted, Dark Knight Rises,Asphalt 7, Minecraft, and Modern Combat 4, this phone flies, it gets really hot that's the only issue but that doesn't affect performance at all. Stock UI is surprisingly nice. Screen is amazing. Development hasn't been good but I have no doubt that Roms, Kernels, and Mods will come with due time.

Just bought this beast an hour ago, already rooted and transferring my stuff from my Epic 4G. I compared the LG Mach because I didn't want to give up my physical keyboard ( :crying: ) but in the end the dual-core vs. quad-core was no comparison! Plus, $99 at Best Buy was a steal (Sprint store wouldn't price match).
Like going from a Yugo to a Ferrari!
Switched from AT&T and the Motorola Atrix 4G to Sprint and the LG Optimus G and so far, I haven't regretted switching from AT&T to Sprint and from the Motorola Atrix 4G to the LG Optimus G. Can't wait for JellyBean on this phone. Decided to switch to Sprint since Sprint is the only carrier that now offers truly unlimited data.
Just nabbed the last one today @ BB for $99! Loving it so far. Was originally gonna get the Note 2 but the price won't drop. I couldn't resist this deal. Looking forward to the ROMS!
Got this phone yesterday, traded my s3 for it. Loving it so far, since I've hated the S3 as soon as I got it. Evo LTE was nice too had it for 2 months but the 1gb of RAM was killing me with Sense.
Haven't tinkered with it yet but thinking of just stock rooting just for getting rid of the Ads.
