So right now I have an evo4g lte (not a thing wrong with it). Sprint sent me a white galaxy s3 (refurb) with only 15 total life calls on it and less than an hour of use. It only came with a charger. It was basically sprint saying, hey sorry for a messup try out this phone if you don't like it send it back...or keep it and send back evo.
Questions...
When I got the evo I purchased best buys buyback on the evo. Wouldn't I lose the buyback on the evo ? What's the best deal to not lose money? (got evo on release day)
Why would a refurb have such little use and are refurbs a concern?
My next upgrade is Feb 2014.
I've took a look already of what others said pros and cons are.
Just looking for advice from community to come to a decision
Thanks!

Stick with the s3 man you won't be disappointed. Night and day difference in quality and performance over your evo.. Buyback plan may switch to the s3 since they sent it to you but I'm not sure. You made money off this deal by them sending you that phone regardless of it being refurb. I've rarely had an issue with any refurbished devices.

Why is Sprint sending you a reverb when your evo has nothing wrong with it?
Aside from that it's your personal opinion on which one you like more. I can't stand HTC phones so I'm no help.

I called them and had a question about a bill..they asked me how things were I said things were good...I guess they were just going over the top with customer service.

Wow lucky person lol. I'd stick with the gs3 but I'm biased. My wife's old evo ruined HTC for me.
Sent from Pluto.
The S3 is better than the Evo LTE in my opinion. I also can't stand Sense or HTC support. Its not a huge upgrade though. I would talk to Best Buy about how much they would give you etc. But just to be very clear the S3 has better hardware and software and will get upgrades for Android faster and more often.

Gotcha....
I guess my only concerns now is it appears if the phone is replaced and the buy back isn't attached to the esn then you lose out in the program if I take the galaxy...or keep what I have for another year and figure that I won't be paying out if pocket a whole lot of money for the next greatest thing.

Well here's my opinion on the gs3 or evo lte why I got the gs3 was one the fact that I can't stand not being able to switch batterys if needed but other than that they have just about the same specs and I just liked the look of the gs3 better and flip covers they look so cool right haha just wish Samsung made black gs3 for sprint

Bezel = frame surrounding the screen. Like on monitors the black plastic casing around the LCD, or the iPhone, the huge black part above and below the screen.
Ohh ha the iPhone. You're always holding it wrong hahaha got love CM FAX.

Might be the Evo 3D. Makes sense. A pyramid is a 3 dimensional geometric shape. And those specs are similar to the Optimus 3D, so it should have powerful enough hardware to do it. Hmmm... Now, I'm kind of excited for CTIA.
It's supposed to go to TMOBILE but hopefully it goes to sprint, it's a nice ass phone.

This. It is a GSM phone and supposedly destined for TMO. Sprint is CDMA so it will not work on Sprint's network.
I've got friends and T-Mobile and their internal communications confirm that this is coming to T-Mobile but there is some confusion that it might be a multiple-standard phone (eg, GSM+CMDA) so it might come to Sprint all at the same time.
pyramid
i want this phone already.hoping and wishing and from what ive been reading going to tmobile. t mobile has to get this phone..my touch 4g is good and all but just isnt great. sprint got the evo and now the inspire for at&t and thunderbolt for verizon..i think it would be great for tmobile like it was for sprint basically attracting new customers to the carrier for the phone(evo)..ive been waiting for a phone like this and i hope it comes with tmobile
Whatever happens, I just hope Sprint gets something as slick looking as this, and of course with the awesome specs to top it all off. I love my Evo to death, but I wouldn't mind upgrading when my rebate comes up in July
Looks = +1
Specs = +2
Phone to tmobile = -4
Confirmed version headed to sprint.....with 3d!
sent from a terminal in the NIGHTLANDS.......
It's possible.
See: Android Central's article on Sprint's expected announcements for CTIA.
(Can't post links, as account is too new.)
Guess Tuesday can't come soon enough.
So I just ordered these screen protectors and patiently waited a few days to get them; boom, talk about super epic fail. I purchased a 2 pack for evo and they sent me a 2 pack for evo shift. I double checked the order to make sure it said evo 4g not evo shift and they managed to send it wrong. As I started to peel it on my phone I noticed that it sat right on the screen without touching the border's. I begin to scratch my head only to notice the package says evo shift. I don't even feel like sending this crap back man. I know its a dumb story but if you only could have watched my facial expression when I placed it on the screen. Priceless.

Did you order them directly from Seidio? Give them a call or email. I'm sure they will send you out the right ones without any problem. From what I have seen here and on other forums they have pretty good customer service. They probably won't even make you send back the wrong ones.

Amazon also has good customer support. Give them a call.
I ordered a music stand two weeks ago from amazon. Never showed up. Called UPS who said, the system shows it's been delivered (yes, I can read the same web page as you), They couldn't transfer me to Amazon fast enough. Amazon shipped another music stand without any fuss (there was enough on my end). Got it two days later.

My only worry is we will have to wait longer for ICS because they will concentrate on the Note. I don't think I will jump ship. Something better is coming the second quarter.

May have to jump on this. One problem might be slower updates than normal due to the modified version of touchwiz that comes along with having the stylus

I would really love to have this bad boy but not on sprint. I will pass until later in the year to see what comes out on not just sprint but other carriers.
Also if sprint does infact put this out then they better put out the full specs and not try to hide the crippling they do aka E4GT. Sprint better be upfront and honest and not try to pull the wool over any eyes this time.
Cant wait until the true hardware specs comes out. Lets see if sprint uses a 6 year old chip in it like they did the E4GT aka cheaped out.

It looks like a version possibly for att has surfaced, but it uses a qualcomm cpu like the tmo gs2, hopefully that is not the case or this would be a downgrade. More display real-estate and pixel density with a lesser cpu, no thanks.
If this turns out to be the exynos, that is going to be a hard decision.

Probably because of the exynos/lte incompatibility. Or is it HSPA+/Exynos incompatibility?

This phone will not sell well here. I have a hard enough time selling the epic touch at best buy because its size.
Actually you know what, if I put the epic, the note, and the iPhone side by side , customers will notice the puny screen on the iphone and go with the gs2 instead

I don't waste my time with sheep, they are some of the most ignorant people on the internet. A tech site just did a Siri vs S-Voice video/review and the S3 was NOT connected to wifi when the iPhone WAS, the whole review was staged. Sheep were gloating all over themselves

My battery isn't much different than it was on my 4s, but I have the gsm version so no LTE to drain it quicker.
I don't think battery chargers have the ability to make people look smart or stupid. Intelligence is not a factor of a battery charger.

You own a GNEX. Who cares about the iPhone. If people want to use it then good for them. Either way it won't change your life. Do you really need to be assured your phone is better?
If reviewers like the iPhone better will that make you go and buy one? People use what is better for them. I actually only tell the more common sense and tech savvy people they should get an Android device. Everyone else who asks for my opinion I tell them to get an iPhone because it will be better for them. I do not give them my opinion based on what is better for me. Except my wife of course.

So my sister lost her Sprint Galaxy S II phone a couple weeks ago and got one on insurance. Then this weekend she found it stuck in a blanket in her closet. Is there anything she can do with it? I'm guessing another sprint user couldn't use it now but maybe flash it for a cricket user or something?

That phone can no longer be used, once you tell the insurance its lost or stolen its deactivated permanently from what I understand. And since they replaced your phone you have to send in your old phone if it's ever recovered. Imo it is immoral to file a insurance claim in order to profit from a company, just like if you filed a car claim to make money. You haven't done this yet but that's what you are asking how to do.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Regardless of what people say. If you report a lost phone to insurance it does not get blacklisted unless its reported stolen or you directly call Sprint to report it. I lost my og epic and the person who found it called one of my contacts and returned it. My bro uses the phone on his line till this day no problem.. And all he did was call customer service to do an esn swap. Phone was not flagged or anything..
