How to get free Sprint Extended Battery online

I finally figured out how to order one of these online. All you have to pay is shipping.

This will work for anyone, even if they don't have a galaxy nexus or a Sprint account.
Get them while you can!

Just ordered!!!!

well i ordered a second one

Wish I had a CARD! Got the money, have no card. I wanted two so I can swap, but they said I was only allowed one (waved shipping over the phone) but sent other people TEN!

Cant get it to work!

Does this battery fit the google galaxy nexus or the international galaxy nexus?

This is not going fly. Apple just being salty because the s3 is sold out everywhere and you can buy a iPhone in your local 711
Apple just give up the IPHONE sucks deal with it.

Yes while its true I phones are in stock everywhere, its mainly because new one is probably coming out next month. Its like u getting the S2 when s3 is a couple weeks away.

People are sheep, it will be years before they'll realize that android is better. Name sells, most don't know noe care enough about the lawsuit. Others, assume that apple is right. There aren't enough people in the states who realize what's really going on to make a difference, sadly.

hmm why not get the Nexus 4? You can start purchase on 13th Nov.
Samsung Nexus is also super freaking cool and you will love it once you start fiddling with it. Good luck.

And for that reason you chose to buy a phone that's a year old instead? Even though the Nexus 4 is getting great reviews from the people who have used it?
Wow.

Jesus Christ guys. Its his money, if he wants to get the GN then congratulate him and move on.
Enjoy the phone man, it may be a year old but its still awesome. Hope you like it.

Welcome
Geez I'm surprised to see people pushing their opinions on others. Don't listen, Gnex is a great device!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

it would have been better to wait for the n4 imo.. but the gnex is a awesome phone with alot of development so i am sure you will like it

Congrats for the phone. I myself jumped to the wagon of galaxy S2 a year later when s3 was just around the corner. I didn't regret a bit. Same now with galaxy nexus.. Not regretting it a bit.. Got it a fortnight ago. The ready baked development and mature kernels trump it all. Enjoy your phone

Just to know you are not alone, I got my GNex yesterday. Upgraded from my Epic. I didn't want to leave Sprint, so no N4 for me. Decided to save my upgrade for next year and buy a used Gnex off eBay. Infinitely better than my Epic and probably good enough to last me another year.
Jason

I'd prefer this phone over the n4 personally..
ignore all the hate! welcome to the forums

While I would have waited for the N4, don't worry because the Gnex kicks serious ass anyway. A lot of Gnex owners including myself aren't upgrading because the Gnex is a beast!

I'm planning to do the same. Do you think the price will go down when the N4 is released? Really low on money but I just can't take this X2 still on Gingerbread.
Sent from my MB870 using xda app-developers app

Again, you are not alone. I also jumped on this ship. Snatched a Gnex on Ebay for US$232.00 shipped. Great deal. In my case, right now i can't afford the Nexus 4 because spending US$300.00 is out of my reach. Simple as that. And even if i could spend USD$300.00, i would still consider the Gnex over the Nexus 4 because of the storage. 8Gb is waaay to low. 16gb is already low, but i think i can make it with it, but 8gb is out of the question. Not to mention that Play Store doesn't sell devices on my country, but i still wanted a Nexus device for the updates and the optimized software, so this was my only option. Im coming from a AT&T SG2. Great device but not a Nexus.

I was like you before the GS2. I had an Atrix 4G trapped on GB.

Very poor decision. I would love the hear some other decisions you've made in your life. What where you thinking?

You should've waited a week. You're getting an old and much less powerful model for the same price. If you can, I would try to return it ASAP!

I figured it would be kool to see all in one place all the devs/people that jumped ship and got a note 2 for Christmas
if there sa bunch of ppl i guess ill update the thread with them and perhaps what phone they came from and what they would be known for here on XDA.

Got one for myself since it was $99 on Amazon. Loving it so far!

That really was a remarkable deal for this phone. Too bad I didn't need a new contract at the time. Still they had it for only $199 for upgrades. Anyway it was on backorder at the time (and I HATE waiting for backorder) so I just went to Sprint and bought it full price. The good news is they gave me $90 for my old E4GT that I got for a penny on AMZN wireless so it's all a wash

I got one as an upgrade on amazon for $199

My ladyfriend got me one for xmas about 2 weeks ago, loving the hell out of it. Came most recently from the E4GT forums, made quite a few friends there, hope to do the same here.

Lol couldn't wait so I ended up getting one off ebay for $550. Very worthwhile upgrade compared to the s3 in my opinion.

Actually still rocking my E4GT on another line... just figured if I have to move off my MVNO and onto Sprint that I might as well do it on a good deal. Didn't think I'd find one better before June.

Well you kinda can't blame them if they had really old laggy androids. My girlfriend had an lg Optimus s which was one of those phones and hated it so much she got the 4s. Makes me cringe saying that but the new Android phones out now are simply incredible. People don't know what they're missing. Once a sheep always a sheep I guess lol.

Kinda glad that my s2 aka my back up phone is getting the jb update having two phones on jb will be nice
Kinda hard to believe as of 2 years ago I was a htc fan now im a samsung fan
Btw before I got the s2 I got the 4s and they dont have lost or stolen coverage on there phones so to me apple is a bunch of conartists and will never ever support apple or there products

I've already upgraded from my et4g twice since nov. First went to the s3 now the note 2. Definitely wasnt disappointed with either. I actually just sold my s3 for $100 cuz I busted the screen. So the buyer got a month old s3 for $100 + $130 for new screen = $230 they got a sweet deal they're a member here too that I know outside of xda and they were upgrading from the et4g maybe they'll stop by and chime in on the difference and if they are happy or not with the s3. The s4 is still 6 months or so out. Its estimated date to go on sale for the international version is sometime in June and US 1-2 months later so youre looking at july or august b4 US carriers will have em

I've been hearing on different tech site's the s4 might come out as early as April. Either way I'm very happy with this device at the moment anyway so I can wait. This phone should be really nice once we get source I'm thinking.
Edit: I'm also coming to this device a couple months ago from the 3d so probably why I'm content with this for now.

I upgrade every few months by selling my current phone and finding a sweet deal on a newer used phone. Though I may just switch to the nexus 4. With their pricepoints I may just be able to upgrade for free forever.
