Is everyone making the upgrade when its available? I can't wait! Those specs are insane. I'm thoroughly impressed by the new screen resolution. I just hope CyanogenMod will be available for it.

on a side note glad to see ur on board (or hope to be).
I'll be here to help out where I can. I'm just hoping it's not going to be too much work porting stuff with that screen.
Definitely will not mind having the Evo 3D for two years.
Count me in!
It would be worth calling Sprint about getting an early upgrade they have done it for several people I know who have a) pay their bills on time and b) express their dislike for the new Silver Plan they have got bumped to in a nice way.

Just call Sprint up once the phone is released Myn. Ask them if they can give you the 2yr upgrade price for the phone. If they say no, hang up and try again. long as your in good standing and are polite, 90% of the time they can and will get it done for ya. If that doesn't work ask for their supervisor as they can get it done.
If it really comes down to it and you strike out a bunch, when you call ask for the retentions department and tell them the deal you would like. They are more likely to be able to get it done.
Its a hassel but as long as your polite 99% time they will be able to help ya out.
Myn... I say you call and name drop(your own name)... Lol... Try to find a rep that has a rooted evo running your rom... I'm sure they would do it for you.

I have a single line and pay for the 69.99 plan. I plan on upgrading next month to the 89.99 plan and keeping it around for 3 months. In June when the phone is released, I'll be a Sprint Premier gold member and eligible for the yearly upgrade. I'll upgrade and then drop back down to 69.99.
Over three months, you end up paying 60 with the lowest single line or 120 with the lowest family plan (in most cases).
So the subsidized phone cost will be at the most 260 or 320. Not ideal, but far better than paying the phone outright.
Hope this is a suggestion that helps.
Good luck, myn!

i dont think that will work... maybe it will back fire..
you can not drop back down.. or they will charge you for full cost of phone.
dirtyshomez or what ever his name is that works for sprint. he said to call sprint near the release date of the e3d. they should be able to give you a one-time 1yr upgrade. they cant now because there is no phone in the system to attach the upgrade too.

Anyone here gonna get the E3D without the upgrade plan besides me? I used my upgrade in order to get my evo last year and i think imma just buy the E3D full price and sell my old evo. So that next year when the new awesome phone comes out i can upgrade for that!
Yes, yes I am - without hesitation.
So am I. I last used an upgrade for a palm pre in jan 2010. I went full price on my evo in June and I'm going full price again because my contact expires in november.
I think I am going to wait on this one. No doubt the EVO 3D will be an awesome phone, but I don't feel the need to go out and get one on launch day like I did with the EVO and the Palm Pre before that. I am still very happy with my original EVO even though the next generation of phones is starting to come out.

I'm pretty sure we can still upgrade after 1 year, the only difference being you get a $100 subsidy instead of $200.

x2, Evo is still running strong and it does everything I need it to. Plus I'm not about to pay 400-500 dollars for a new phone since I'm still under contract.
I used my upgrade last June when EVO came out, and I will become a silver premier effective 4/1, which is not eligible for a new line discount upgrade after 12-month service anymore (only premier gold can upgrade at a discounted price).
Just spoke with a Sprint rep, he said that I can change my plan to $89.99 before 6/1, which is my 12-month upgrade eligibility point, then I will become a gold premier automatically and get a discounted upgrade. Changing plan will not reset the 2-year agreement, so I can upgrade my EVO on 6/1 after changing the plan in May. Of course if EVO 3D comes out before 6/1, I'll be sad...
Edit: Correction - it looks like I need to stay with $89.99+ plan with at least 3 months, which means I need to change my plan now...
I thought u had to be on that for three months?

Yeah, I just saw that... that rep must have forgotten to mention that. darn it.
Well, the only way is to change the plan now, so that it becomes ~3 months by the time my 12-month point comes...
I'll just use my upgrade every year as I will have premier gold for being a 10yr sprint customer
My yearly upgrade (Premier Gold) is in Feb, and last year I used it (without thinking) on the Hero, then three months later the Evo comes out, and the Hero is old news.
I specifically bought my Evo used knowing that the new phones would be released this spring/summer.
So yeah, certainly going to use my upgrade this June.
Guys, here's a great hint: Use wirefly.com to buy it. You can get a full discount even when you're not eligible for an upgrade
The catch? They charge you a $200 ETF on top of Sprint's ETF. BUT, even with wirefly's own ETF, the phone would still cost less than full price.
Not worth it to have a second contract with wirefly.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yeah, looks like I'm either going to have to buy it outright, or use the $75 discount for one-year upgrades.
I just labeled an envelope titled Evo 3d. Assuming it drops in roughly 12 weeks, and that it will be about 500 bucks. That's 41 bucks a week in the envelope, and by june, ill be buying an Evo 3d.

sweet!! ......
If we change now to $89.99 plan to get the Premier Gold to get the 12 mo. upgrade, is there something stopping us from dropping the plan back down to $69.99 after the upgrade? I def don't need a bigger plan, I probably use less than 50 min a month with the free mobile to mobile.
I'm going to have to wait until it's released to employees.... If Sprint follows the same guidelines that they did for the original EVO, probably not until November or so.
I found on this site that when you pre-order the HTC Evo 3D you get 15%-23% off your monthly Sprint bill, $50 service credit and a $35 rebate. Here's the link to the site if you're interested. I know I've been looking forward to the Evo 3D!
Sprint Evo 3D Pre-Order Discount
I'm buying mine full price, wish I could go ahead and give them the cash and let them ship it to me when its ready lol
niice, thanks for the link bro.
You should clarify that this is for: "New Sprint customers, new lines and add a line"
If you are an already existing Sprint Customer and are qualified for an upgrade:
Waived upgrade fee
Discounts off of Monthly Recurring Fees available to qualified members
Free Overnight Shipping, and
$35.00 StudentRate rebate

Are you able to add a line to your account and put the EVO3D on that new line, then do a swap of numbers b/w your original EVO4G and new EVO3D so you then have the new phone # on your EVO4G and the original phone number on your EVO3D? Then once done you can cancel the line you just added?
Back with nextel this was common practice by those that upgraded often and was easily done b/c all you had to do was swap the SIM cards back then.
Yep everything but the cancel part

i second that i wanna know before i get spammed up the ass
IDK if OP is from androidforums or not, but we had a discussion about this:
HTC EVO 3D Discounts
And pretty much all of us decided against inputting our SSN into a studentrate.com site. IDK how this site can offer this deal when no one else can.
Here is what I am planning on doing to get the EVO 3D. First off, I will pay the ETF (which should be about $100, then I will sign a new contract with Sprint and get the EVO 3D at the discount price. Then I will sell my HTC EVO 4G and offset the price. I spoke with Sprint and the rep said that this is just about the only way to get the phone at the discount price without upgrading my contract.
This site seems a bit sketch...
I got this same deal in the past when I got my HTC Evo. The form didn't ask for any social or credit card info. When I filled it out someone called me so I could place the order with them over the phone

If you do that, Sprint might not take you back immediately. I've heard that if you cancel with them they might make you wait a few months before you're approved for a new account. The other thing is that you could end up hurting your credit. I'm not exactly sure. If you were a sprint Premier member, you might be able to get grandfathered in for your 1 premier upgrade this year, because that's what they did for me.

How??? I called in twice and was told no both times...
If you pre-order one of these phones you're guaranteed the discounts mentioned? Anyone know when the nexus s is suppose to be released?
I have the kinda the same question. Do you only get the discounts if you pre-order? What if I want to just wait till the Evo 3D comes out?
I think the Nexus S is suppose to come out early spring, so maybe this month?
I think you might still be able to get that discount even if you wait until the device comes out... However, considering the shortage of EVOs online due to some of the components being manufactured in Japan, there is a risk that the EVO 3 D will run out and be back-ordered at least that's what I think
Do you think the Evo 3D release date will be pushed back because of this?

It can't be pushed back if it was never announced
for what it's worth. Student Rate is legit. Basically, there's a guy that works there who holds all your info till launch day, and then bulk processes all the pre-orders witha dedicated sprint rep over night.
When I switched to sprint from ATT, my wife and I preordered our Epic4G's that way. I didnt put my CC info or SSN on the student rate form, but I was in constant contact with the guys there over email, and the night before launch day, I gave them the info over the phone.
So im looking to upgrade from my Evo 4g to a Evo 3D the only problem is i dont quite know what would be best. I got my Evo 4G around october and its in really good conditions since i have had it on my Otterbox defender case most of the time. Is there a way that I can trade the OG Evo and get the Evo 3D? I can only spend about $100 on the Evo 3D. What would be my best choice?

If you are an account holder, you can upgrade your phone once per year.
Just mention option "one year account holder upgrade override" (or something like that-they would know). At the sprint's service desk they may not advertise it, coz some sprint reps are so damn lazy or just an a-ho-s. Actually I just upgraded my Evo 4G for Evo 3D at the kiosk in Ridgedale Mall (MN) location. I paid including taxes ~$54 for new 3D. The option is that you can trade-in your old Evo 4G for $150 instantly. Sprint runs this on for some time - this week 06/25/2011 at least, so... Also if you have 2 (two) devices on the account then upgrade one or add one to yours. I have 3 phones on $129/mo plan and can upgrade at least one device every year. You can upgrade one of "N" of your devices at once and swap numbers at the spot if you need to.
The strategy here is pretty straightforward:
The Sprint Buyback plan should buy your Evo 4g for $150 (not bad!): see here: https://secure2.sprintbuyback.com/consumer/app/CartPage/
The harder part will be convincing Sprint to give you at LEAST the 1-year renewal price if you buy the 3D. If you've been with Sprint for a long time, and especially if you're with Sprint Premiere, there might be some wiggle room for you here.
Basically, call in to customer service repeatedly until someone decides to help you. What you want is for someone to offer you a service credit.
One more option: see if you qualify for any discounts on your plan: I'm a USAA member (not an employee, just a cardholder!) and I get 15% off my whole bill. That difference will make the 3D pay for itself pretty soon....
Best,
The Panamaniac

Thanks for the great reply! I guess the only problem im gonna have is convincing the Sprint to give me the 1year renewal early since ive been with them for way less than a year. Maybe they will give me some mercy since everything has been paid on time. Also do i have to unroot my phone when i give it to them?

I unrooted before trading mine in, the link I followed was here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141
Ya, don't forget to unroot if you trade in!
If you've been with them less than a year..then your best option is to find a friend who loves your 4G and is willing to take over your contract--then you can walk in and pay $200 for a new 3D on a brand new account.
If you pay full price - $150 trade in credit you're still looking at $425, ouch...
Another option (what I did): have any friends you'd be willing to split a plan with? They can be added as a line of service (most likely $20/month +$10/month for data) and then you can swap the two phones, and your friend will have the 4G.
Finally, keep your eyes peeled for if and when the SAVE50 rebate becomes usable again. It seems to come and go (probably only usable on a new line of service tho).
Don't trade in your phone. It will sell in a day on Craigslist at 225 no problem. Why give away that extra 75 dollars to sprint. Usually its hard to get the full upgrade unless you have been with them for a year. Once you get the 75 dollar credit one phone call should give you a full upgrade.

First call Sprint Costumer Service extend your plan out for two years they will give you $70 off current bill this does not affect your upgrade then head on over to the sprint store trade in your EVO 4G for the $150 BAM you just got the EVO
3D FREE. Say Thanks and Enjoy

Or you can sell your EVO on Craigslist for 250-325. That would also work and save you a credit
Can s-off come out and play? You run but you can't hide
Or you can try to win one
http://now.sprint.com/bea3dstar/?ECID=vanity:bea3Dstar
And while you're there, tell them if you are a AAA member or you are a member of a credit union. If so, that's 10% off your monthly bill.
Have a friend still using an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4? Tell them to dump it and go with Sprint. They'll get about $135 for their old iPhone 3GS (more for the iPhone 4) and $125 for porting their old AT&T number over to Sprint so Sprint will actually pay THEM to own an Evo 3D.
They've also been giving Sprint Premier Silver members the full upgrade price even though you've only had your Evo 4G for a year. Sprint is running so many great deals right now, most people should be able to get an Evo 3D for just about free if not better.

You have to be AT LEAST 16 months into your contract to get the $70.00 dollar credit when you extend your contract, or you wont get it..

Or you can sell your EVO on Craigslist for 250-325. That would also work and save you a credit
Can s-off come out and play? You run but you can't hide

This. I think I got like $240 shipped for mine on Craigslist.
Selling off my 3 Epics, so I got mine for free. BAHAHA. Trading in a phone is just a rip off program. You think it's a good deal, but you just don't know any better.
I don't know why Sprint is giving me such a hard time. I'm one year into my contract and have tried and tried. They want me to pay the full retail price. IMO it's not worth the retail price esp when I have an EVO. It's not worth all the hassle. I don't know what else to do. Hell I will sign a 3 year contract if they would cut me a little slack. I hope someone from Sprint sees this and contacts me.
So, as much as I love the Evo 3d mine has some dead pixels, light leakage, and I do not find a use for the 3d and would rather have a better 2d camera. On september 16th the Galaxy S II comes out on Sprint, and it looks flawless minus the fact that the screen is not qHD, although the colors are suppose to look great.
If I cancel my phone ( I am on a family plan with 5 other phones ) and have my dad say I am leaving for college need to pay my own plan (I am not) and then sell my 3d, and open a new line with sprint on the same plan and buy the phone at the contract price? I would be able to use the money from the Evo and leave with a profit. Also, I know I would get a new number which I do not care about.
So, what do you think? Is this a good idea, and is it feasible?

Aside from the fact that I heard it was actually up to 9/15 for the contract change (could be wrong, I haven't been paying too close attention) that sounds about right to me.
I'm thinking about doing the same thing, though I was under the impression I could port away my number to wherever I would be going.

EVO3D
Sweet. I might give this a go then
Can someone tell me if this will work? Cancel my contract, port my number to my old htc hero, sell my evo 3d, then buy the galaxy when it comes out and port my number to that. Does that work?

Yes..
Probably would have to explain to Sprint what your trying to accomplish though. To make sure you get galaxy for contract price, but I'm sure it still be fine.

I don't think they would port your number to Sprint because that technically would not be porting. Also, what contract would your old phone be on?

Correct, technically it wouldn't be porting. Since he has Sprint already I beleive.

LOL. I think u have to port your number to a carrier other than Sprint or its not considered porting ha but I could be wrong. That would be funny if you could port your number to a new Sprint line and get a new Sprint phone. That will save a lot of hassle for ppl who take advantage of $0 to get out of contract, switching to boost or virgin mobile than back to Sprint to get a new phone with a new customer 2 year price.

Damn. I'm half tempted to try this. Except it'll extend your family's contract, right? My parents wouldn't be so willing to wait a whole extra year to get out of this contract just for me.
I think it works like this. Go to boost of whatever , tell them I want to port .tell sprint that its because of the new policy. Port it over then go back and open a new line. Buy the galaxy then port it back. This won't extend any other lines.

Rather than the free ETF, why don't you have them end the contract, and ask to go month to month?
Alls you gotta do thereon is sign a new contract with the new changes, to get the sgs2 at the discount price.
Note on asking for month to month, it can be hit or miss. Just be personable and ask kindly, I guess.

Contract date and upgrade date are 2 separate things. Your contract runs 24 months, but they let you upgrade after 22 months (which starts the 24 months over).
If you want to keep your number, port it to a pre-paid cell phone.

Both of those lines are still on your account and the account is still in your name. So far as I understand it you can do this on a per-line basis. I don't think any line is considered the "main" line that anchors your account.

True, I always assume if you go thru retention, you never know what may happen.

Call them up and let them know that you would like to cancel that line without paying the ETF due to the material change in the contract verbiage. Phrase it however you see fit. I'm sure they hear it all.
The key point here is that every line is bound to your account by it's own contract. There's nothing fancy going on here.
