It doesn't mention GOLD only in the ad, but from the comments, it appears it only applies to those that were gold (not Sero).
Me? I'm holding off until LTE devices come around.
Here is another source:

I used my upgrade in July, I'm confused what all this means to me? Lol
I am with sprint for only 4 months and i am already a gold member. Do i get this upgrade or not?

I just found this out myself at the sprint store. I was really pissed at loosing my annual upgrade but will be getting 2 new epic touches tonight!
I had an upgrade available on 1/1/12. Then they took it off. I been meaning to call and ***** about it.
Curious what someone on the epic touch would "upgrade" to. The only phone competitive is the fruit phone.

Ill be upgrading my daughters optimus s to the MoPho tomorrow. They got em at Walmart for $78.
I'm very upset they cancelled the premier program I just turned premier gold a couple months ago.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
how do you determine if your gold or not?
It's not necessarily gold premier, I have seen customers who were silver. Also it works for multiple lines on the account.
As far as I know, it is only available if you physically walk into a corporate store. I have verified that nss is not able to do it if there is an error in store.

That sucks. I just got a new E4Gt from craiglist for 400 bucks 1 week ago because I did not have an upgrade available until next year. I should've waited. Damn...

Waited for what it doesn't work. And where do you live they are selling then for 300 on Craigslist.

Dumb question ....
The ad says "target high value consumer/IL"
What is IL?
Since nobody's confirming ability to do it, could it mean Illinois customers only?
Don't flame, I seriously don't know what it means, lol.
Sent from my SGSIIE4GTuvwxyz....should I touch my nose or walk a straight line now?
I turned into a gold premier customer back in August (10 years)... I upgraded to my ET about one week after release. My account still shows that I am eligible for an upgrade on 9/1/2012.
My understanding is that after this next upgrade, I will then be on the 20 month schedule.
what phone should I get? I was thinking about the Galaxy Nexus or the S3. and the new Photon 4 G L T E is definitely out of the question since they lock that down tight! I'm kind of leaning towards S3. I would like to get to peoples thoughts and opinions on this before I make the decision. since I don't have any of these phones.

actually I have two upgrades available, 1 now and 1 in about 45 days, I'm kinda nervous about getting the Nexus because I've heard of receiving issues for the antenna, S3 seems like the safest bet.

Personally I would go to both forums and see what's going on there,pro's/cons
I saw the gnexus as better option and ordered one from eBay.

No. I can personally attest to the fact that the GPS on the S3 is very, very good. I don't know what you mean by the surf antenna, but I do know that it utilizes GLONASS. Locks consistently in under 3 seconds, accuracy within 6 feet most of the time.

I have a couple co workers that have the s3, one on Verizon and one on Sprint and its pretty damn awesome. We travel for work so I had the one who has Sprint use GPS and it seems to work great along with great battery life on a bigger better screen. And he gets faster download speeds too. I'm personally holding out for the next Nexus which should be here this fall hopefully or close to the holidays, but you have another upgrade coming so you are good. One good thing to do is just go to the store and play with them as long as you want then maybe wait a day or two, to be sure.

Debating with myself I am coming here to ask for advice should I jump ship to the s3 or keep my s2 and wait for the next generation. Do you think the minor upgrades are worth it or is it like going from an iphone 4 to a 4s thanks to anyone who gives advice

I'm getting the note 2, but I would wait for the s4, it's right around the corner
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Agree, just wait till the S4 and anyway, 4G LTE is not completely finished. You can wait till a better phone and better service comes out. Just my thought
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
More or less, I'd probably stay with the E4GT. The S3 doesn't really have much over the E4GT, to warrant the 'upgrade.'
The single thing that stands out with the S3 is probably NFC and a bit larger screen. If you can get past those two, then you're fine. Just stick with the E4GT.
It sounds silly to say but the s3 is already "old", with the note 2 on its way to sprint in the near future, a plethora of nexus devices coming soon and the s4 being launched sometime in February its probably best to wait at this point.

Last year I won my GS2, and had no intentions of switching until my upgrade but I just found out I won a GS3 the other day, so I guess I'm jumping ship lol GS3 is a dope ass phone so I'm pretty excited! If I didn't win it tho I would have waited for the S4

I'm personally waiting form the new Nexus. My friends have the S3 and for me it isnt a big enough leap to spend on the etf and then the price of the phone to get it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
To be honest. you should wait. If you have already some kind of wimax coverage, it'd be far wiser to wait for LTE to deploy into your area first or youll be stuck on a slow as molasses 3g network. If you don't have wimax then it's your choice but I'd just wait and see what nexus devices come out first.
Ive just recently gotten the gs3 and im wanting to restock my gs3 when the note2 comes. Im wondering should I just preorder it and hope the store will restock and refund me the cash for the gs3 or should I just wait to do this in store on nov 9. Thanks for any replies.

I took my SG3 back a few days ago after having it a week. they took it back without any issues, but was charged a 35 restock fee. They were not able to preorder the note 2 in store, so i came home and did so online.
Went to at&t and explained to them that when I purchsed my gs3 on oct 19 that three sales people told me I had 30 days to replace it with the note2. They said that was wrong but they did extend me for another 7 days in order to swap. Sweet!!! Thanks at&t! Now just give me unlimited data for my lte.

I got the unlimited family plan last June and got the Epic for my wife and I. This family plan is now turning into a business plan as I'm getting phones for my guys too.
My issue is that I am a tech junkie and I am starting to feel phone envy with all these guys getting the note 2. I have another person to get a phone for and I'm realizing that instead of waiting another year and six months to upgrade I can do it now and pass on this epic.
The problem is that I love this community, and would like to start putting out some roms for a group that I think is going to be hurting for devs shortly. While I'm pretty sure the note 2 is not lacking in this area.
Am I worrying about nothing? Is everyone leaving this phone soon anyway? If I don't use this opportunity am I going to be the only one here in a year? :sigh:
I just feel like it's too early to leave now, but will be too late later on.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
Reasonable to believe when S4 is released and if the specs live up to its hype, majority of users will consider the move. I am considering and upgrade and may not be on this phone at the end of the year. Only because it will be 2 years and trying to get the family on 1 cycle is the plan. Its an opportunity you should highly consider

That was the original plan, just wait it out, and get the latest and greatest, but my guy needs a phone now, so it's upgrade now or in a year and half. Other option is to use my best buy buy back to help with the cost of an out of contract phone when the s4 comes out.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
I think a lot of its are in it till the s4. This is a great community though and I feel your pain. The note has a lot going for it but I have a feeling the s4 is going to knock it out of the park. We always need good devs and would hate to see you go. But do what you have to. I'm sure you'll be happy either way. Although with all these 4.2 rooms coming out and jb ota around the corner at some point soon this phone will be hanging around for quite a while. Good luck with your decision.

I love this phone but if I had LTE I would upgrade now. I also think S4 will be my next phone since it should drop around the time the Network Vision upgrades start here. Bottom line do whatever makes you happy. The community will carry on and more devs will jump onboard since our phone is cheap now.

Damn wish I was here earlier to see the whole arguments lol. To the OP do what you want bro do what would make you happy I'm also a tech junkie love every new device that comes out. I have a note 2 and I love it I came from the e4gt and had used my upgrade to get the note now if the S4 really calls out my attention which I'm sure it will I will sell the note and put in the differences and pay full price now if you think you can do that do it If you're a tech junkie a don't see the problem of hesitating on doing something wrong for yourself just do what you want bro.

Note 2 is down to $169 on Amazon Wireless right now! I can upgrade now but I got this device as a replacement for my 3vo and haven't had it that long. I really want to see what it's going to be like after the jb update. If for some reason we end up not getting it then I'll upgrade but really don't see the need to just yet.

Print that, take it to BB for price match - even though you're an upgrade.
If you're lucky you'll get a steal on this phone! (One other person said he got on GN2 threads)
(Just don't check any box before printing so they don't know it means new customers only)

Geez Garwynn wish I thought of that lol! Not sure if it would've worked though. I'm still happy with my Note for $199. Wasn't sure if I should do it or not before but this thing is absolutely amazing! I thought the e4gt was a beast but my God lol! What a difference. You guys that are thinking about it just do it. You won't regret it. And if you're thinking you might want to wait for the gs4 I was right there with you but in all honesty I don't see how they will compare. This has tablet like features that the gs4 might not have. Of course we really won't know until the final spec sheet is released but either way it won't be this size. And it is beautiful guys!

Oh I did. Amazon had the note 2 for $170 when added to a family plan. I couldn't resist. It was worth the he'll I for from the missus.
What's great is all the wonderful people from this forum (like garwynn) that are over there now.
And there is nothing out like this phone now. Nor will the s4 match it. I don't think I'll ever be able to use a smaller phone with no spen again.

I'm an indirect dealer for Sprint, ATT and Verizon; I get to play with a lot of phones. You could not be more accurate. Not only is the Note 2 in a class if its own. It really is a "phablet". It doesnt need to be held close to the face, yet can fit in a pocket.
More importantly, the execution of Touchwiz is remarkable- its usefulness is beyond comparison, justifying every pixel of the huge display and proving it is not a gimmick.
As far as the E4GT goes, its second-life as a premium Virgin/Boost handset should prevent development from drying up.
