I've moved on from T-Mobile to Sprint.
I got the Evo 3d. I have never ordered a phone this way. Usually its only through carrier or in store.
But I figured Id try wirefly.
No deposit.
Went well.
But I have silly worries because im anticipating this phone so much.
Anyone that has used them before?

I've used them a couple of times, and had no problems. Nothing to worry about. I decided to go the Radio Shack route, but that's because I want to make sure I have it at 9am when they open.
just wished you'd of posted that you were looking to get the phone before jumping on wirefly tho
http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Wirefly
They have a pretty good reseller rating over the last 6 months, but it looks like their customer service is crap.
I had a problem getting my HTC Hero from them (although it was back in '09?). I called, answered all information (literally took like 2 hours), and the sales rep continued to try to sell me accessories even though I had said no countless times. Then, the next day, they tell me to email them my SSN for security because Sprint rejected the upgrade or something. I cancelled and ordered straight from Sprint.

They said ill have it the 24th. I hope that's right. Anyone ever pre order from them?
Did you get the phone on release day?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I ordered my wife's Epic from them for $149.99 ($100 less then the Sprint stores launch price) and was very happy with the customer service and fast delivery time. Although as someone above stated they did try to push accessories and insurance on me, no big deal, I just turned them down.
I ordered my EVO 3D from them about two weeks ago for $149.99 with no shipping or tax (of which Sprint charges the full retail price of the phone for), so that was a huge savings. I was concerned about shipping times but after a recent call to them I was told it would be shipped on the release date of the 24th, and I should have it in 2 business days.
I will let you know how it went after I get my phone, but right now I feel pretty comfortable buying from Wirefly.
Don't know if anyone saw, but the "HTC Store" is taking pre-orders too.
http://shopamerica.htc.com/cell-phones/productdetail.htm?prId=39065
I just noticed it today. I was hoping to find accessories, but stumbled upon this instead.
So this is what I found out about wirefly. They were great. Great service. But one thing. I was robbed of my shipping fee.
How you say?
I paid 7.99 for 2day buisness. A couple different reps told me the phone should arrive friday.
It will not be here till Monday. Fedex is taking its sweet time.
It makes no since to pay that damn 2buisness day if you know damn well you wont make release.
I mean unless wirefly had it to me on friday. they should have told me it would make no difference with how they ship and saved me the 7.99.
Yes 179 is nice for the phone. But you add 8 bucks and 188. Or 199 and have it friday.
So in my view if you are intrested in which way to go. Just go to sprint. Or a walk in dealer.

I agree. I did it but radio shack are bastards to deal with. I had problems with my 3D and now I have a Photon and had issues. They suck to deal with and I'm under my 30 days. They don't wanna do exchanges or returns. I've had to have Sprint call and make them obey policy twice now. Wish I would have just gone to a Sprint store.

Just to be fair, my RadioShack here on Geary Blvd. in San Francisco has given me amazing service, even selling me the 3VO before my upgrade expired so I could if I wanted do a 30 day exchange for the Photon. FYI, according to Sprint, the $99 price point at Radio Shack has nothing to do with them, and will not be honored at Sprint store or online via Sprint.
New Photon Today
I just took up Best Buy Mobile on the $99 deal. I added a new line for my father and gave him my EVO 4G and picked me up a new Photon.
Slingplayer and Logmein are my most used apps.
Still working out the video chatting software. Got QIK running with video, so off to a good start.
Will try out my HDMI cable tonight.

I don't expect Sprint to honor that. My issue is with Radio Shack. I have had two defective devices so far and had problems getiing them exchanged even though they saw the problems and I am under 30 days. Sprint had to step in and make them do what they were supposed to. I live in the midwest though so it's probably completely different where you are.

Their policies are very crooked and there are enough loopholes in all of their warranties that the coverage is voided before you even walk out of the store half of the time. One of the local stores here is currently under investigation for lying about deposit amounts and pocketing the extra cash. They also do everything possible to get out of honoring the Sprint 30 day satisfaction guarantee. If there is so much as a light surface scratch anywhere on the phone, they will deny you a swap or even cancellation. It's pathetic, just don't do it.

They can't do that, it is a Sprint phone with a Sprint contract, they are just the middle man, they cannot do anything to the Sprint contract that says you can exchange your phone if you are not satisfied within 30 days, and you can actually do that 3 times. So really its 90 days. I would literally fight one of them if they didn't do what I asked them. Real talk.

The price change I want to say it's to push the phone to be the marque phone till the Samsung Epic Touch 4G comes out in the next 3 to 4 weeks ...

If you are current Sprint customer, you can call telesales and get price match of RadioShack for $99 (YMMV). You will basically get additional $100 credit of the phone that is $199. My phone is on my way.......
It didnt take them any longer to get the Photon than it did Best Buy or non-corporate Sprint-branded stores. They arent refurbs.
SOME RS's do sell refurbs, its all very plainly stated, and they're pretty reasonable and often without contract so its saved my ass a time or two when out of town and a phone ends up broken.
They're selling at a lower price because NEW activations come with a kickback/monthly that extensions dont. There used to be a few guys that did this exclusively on Ebay, they were a legit official Sprint partner selling phones for virtually nothing on new activations only. I got a PPC6700 or 6800 for basically free when they retailed for 500+ and all I had to do was add a line...which was fine with me since I had $10 Vision and free add-a-phone back when you could get all those things.
anybody have any luck getting it on upgrade for that price??

I have to agree. I called a local radioshack when the Evo 3d came out and was just inquiring about their return policy. I talked to two people there and they said there was no return policy and if you don't like the phone that you are stuck with it unless you want to exchange. I explained that their has to be a 30 return policy of some sort. They both explained that it was not honored if the phone was used at all. Then after pulling my hair out from their stupid statements, I explained no one has such policy. These guys are idiots and the sad part is there were two idiots under the same roof. I thought there was a rule against that. Anyway I called another store and they said there was a return policy but it was only for exchanges.
Price tag
No, Best Buy Mobile , in our local mall , had a $99 price tag on the Photon. Best Buy and Radio Shack aplly the mail in rebates at time of purchase.
The Photon was $106.74 , plus the price of a Zagg shield, out the door.
I also went by Sprint and bought, the dock for the Photon. Great product and well worth the money.

Why is the photon so cheap and it just dropped?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
The Rezound is now $199 online at VZW.com. I wonder if they will honor our "worry free" period and give us the difference back?
I upgraded to the GNEX and was told I had to the 15th to return it. I did return for a $35 restocking fee, then go the Rezound. Can I still get $100 credited? What should I say to the CSR, I have a feeling that aren't going to give in easily?
They must have a lot in stock, surplus or b/c of the sales decline in HTC.
EDIT: Just got off the phone with the rep, he credited my acct $100 of my next bill. I don't know if thats because I had until Jan 15th until my "worry free" grace period was up or if they will honor everyone? I would try it though, he didn't give me any problems when I asked for it. He actually said he had no idea there was a price drop.
They usually do if you buy it within 30 days, so it wouldn't hurt to try and post your results. Good luck

Tell them you bought the phone for the $299 and now its on sale. I did that with the thunderbolt they sent me letter with $50 dollars off and the price also dropped a $100 so they gave me $150 off three weeks later.

For what it's worth, I bought it from Verizon on the 5th (Thursday) for $269.99, called this morning and had a $100 credit already applied to my account. I ordered online and haven't even received the phone yet.

Nothing exceptional. I just explained I purchased it on Thursday online, and noticed that the price dropped $100 today. I said, "Can I get a credit applied, or do I need to refuse delivery and reorder", but I doubt it's even necessary to say that.
Just ask for the credit. There won't be a problem with timing of a few days.

Worked for me, first try. All he did was call the store to confirm the price and credited me the money on my next bill. He didn't give me any problems, all I said was I ordered the phone for $299 and I saw $100 price drop.
I just got off the phone with Verizon. I have to wait until I accept the delivery and activate the new phone before they can issue me a credit.
FYI, Verizon offers a 14 day price guarantee (that's what the rep told me on the phone), So if you ordered yours within the last 14 days, call in and get your money!
If I bought my phone at the Verizon store do you guys think they will honor the 100?
Sent from my HTC Rezound!
Rep I just spoke with said they only honor price changes up to 15 days after purchase. I asked about the people who bought it during the holiday return period and she said no. I was nice to her, and she was nice back, incase anyone is curious how the convo went.
Rep said the credit is automatic but she did notate my account.
Good call. I got my phone new years day and they had no problem crediting my account. Good looking out.

Now... I'm waiting for it to be $99
I have always been an early adopter and paid full price when things come out. My current Droid Incredible works fine for what I use it for so I will just wait a bit. Figure another month perhaps and $99 will be the new price. Keep the other $200 I saved for other toys.

Thanks for pre-ordering. You are one step closer to getting your phone. Keep an eye out for a shipping email with your tracking information. We will do our best to get it to you before others get a glimpse on Friday, May 18. For questions, visit sprint.com/preorder.

Eh this is kinda bleh...
I pre-ordered from sprint and called them about 8 times trying to cancel so i could pre order from wirefly. ALL of them said i cant, only until its ABOUT to ship out then i can cancel it...
6 out of 8 of them kept saying how they dont have a date but its getting to the warehouse to be packaged on may 16th.
I doubt we will get it before the 18th. It will prob ship the 16th and come 2 days later in the mail on the 18th. =/
sorry to be a Debby downer!
Got 2 preordered. Would be awesome if they come this week.
lol, Sprint's order status message changes like 4 times a day. This must be some kind of running gag they have going at their office...
When I called to confirm my ID for my order on Monday, he said preorders would be guaranteed delivery the day of or 1 day before the release date (depending on location). This seems to fall in line with that so I'm happy
who knows with them, just talked to my friend at the corp store on the campus and she said this to me
"Pre-order gets you out of the hassle in the store and waiting. That's about it."
damn, well guess ill just hope it comes in sooner than later
Yea, I had gone into Sprint to talk to them about it and what they had said was it would arrive one day before or on the release day. However, with the iPhone 4s, they had so many pre-orders that they had arrived one day after launch day, so we will just have to wait and see.
With the Galaxy Nexus, it launched on a Sunday, and people had them in hand on Friday and Saturday. They usually do a pretty good job of trying to get them out before the official release date.
I know Best Buy and a couple other 3rd party retailers said they weren't going to release before the 18th, but I don't mind the wait. It'll give me a few more days with my EVO before I turn it into a dev phone

No problem. Also FYI while I was on the phone with Sprint I asked about my activation fee and he initially said that I would have to pay it. I explained that I ordered through sprint even though I could have gotten the phone much cheaper through a 3rd party and I would appreciate it if they would wave the fee to help offset the cost difference. He put me on hold for 1 minute and said the activation fee has been waved.
When I pre-ordered with Sprint, all I had to pay for, besides the phone, was shipping. No sales tax and no activation fee. The only thing that upset me was they wouldn't let me upgrade my line. I'm eligible 6/1, from when I bought my 3D. They wanted me to pay full price or wait. I then told I'd upgrade another line. I was looking at my account on line and told then the phone number for my Airave. He checked the eligibility and congratulated me. I couldn't believe it.

Sprint's warehouse and shipping are all managed by UPS. Their warehouse is literally at the end of the runway where the plane takes off. My Evo 3d preorder shipped at 12:30 am and I received it the same day it went on the plane. There is a video on UPS's website about this.

Many people who pre ordered the EVO 3D received the phone before release date. I remember being jealous and wishing I ordered through sprint instead of best buy. I don't see why the LTE would be any different. I'm planning/hoping to receive the phone next Wednesday or Thursday as they typically do overnight shipping.
I was at walmart earlier, casual passed cell phones and saw an evo lte. I thought, wtf? I asked if they had them and they ended up not having it but asked if I wanted them to call another store. I was about to make another errand that would pass another walmart so I said sure. She called and sure enough, in stock! I honestly expected it to just be mis-information and be an evo design, or viper lte/etc.
So i go to the other store, (i-30 and bucker in east dallas) and sure enough, two in stock!
Now the bad news, they couldnt get the system to work for me. They'd put in my info and it would return an error saying information couldnt be retrieved. Girl was very helpful and even called sprint to verify I had an upgrade. No dice though on getting the system to accept it.
I will say, I tried to preorder online and got some dumb error at checkout too. Then wirefly had an error but they were able to solve it, so might just be me.
Sadly, I left without one.. but there is two there for others! Dont overlook wally world!
Agree with that. Also check you local Sams Club as well i think they will have them at the price 147.97 upgrade and new line. So that is where i will be going to get mine on wed. When the national evo day starts.

ah! that reminds me, price at walmart was 158.** i think, possibly 159 but I could almost swear it was 158 which i thought was an odd number.

I just went to a Walmart that had 3 in stock. The lady was going to sell me one. I gave her my number, and I couldn't be found in the system. She said since my number was long distance it wouldn't work.
I've never heard of that, but maybe it's true. I didn't have a lot of time to argue otherwise, so I left without one.

Long time lurker on this site
Just want to give thanks for this thread. Was able to get one from Walmart yesterday in Columbia MD.
FYI - Walmart dosen't sell many phones at all so therefore their CSR are clueless to how they sell phones. It took me about an hour to get mine but what saved me for even getting the phone was that I had Sprints backdoor Number in handy and called them 3 times and handed my phone to the CSR Rep so the Sprint Rep could coach him on what to do.
I suggest yall definitely do that if you go to Walmart
My local Walmart had a full stock of them as I believe no one knows Walmart has the phone and the funny thing is that there is a Sprint Store located right next to walmart in the plaza and they have still yet to receive their 1st shipment.

You have 30 days from purchase to match.
I got mine for $59 through Wal-Mart the week prior. Still worth it IMO.
Got mine for 100 bucks quite a while back. I'd say anything less is a massive steal.

I paid $449 for mine. None on Craigslist and I looked for several months.
I did this in January ..Amazon had it for 49.99 for awhile and best buy price matched for me

I bought mine for $150 in November. I would have paid full price honestly, amazing phone

Ditto. I got mine for $107 total and it came with the LG Stereo Bluetooth. Possible the best deal I've ever gotten on anything.

I contacted Best Buy (888#) and requested the $50 credit. I purchased my LG E970on 3/2/12 for $99 and was in the 15 day Price Match by one day. The rep put me on hold, came back, took down my info and said that I would get a call back letting me know the status of my credit. I was concerned that I would not hear back from BB and he said that I would get a return call within 48 hours. Needless to say, no call back so I called back and was told that BB no longer offers the Price Match on contracted cell phone as of 3/2/12. Great. I went back and read the small print details and yup, it does say that. Argh.
Going to go into store tomorrow and talk to a manager and push for the $50.00 Heck for $50.00 I would have returned the darn thing and bought it again. I can play their game too. I will add that I did not receive a call back as promised.
Did you go to an actual best buy store, or best buy Mobile? I went to the mobile store at my local mall and they price matched and gave me a $50 credit, no questions asked.

I've gotten a price match at bbm before. I think whoever he's having to put up with are just assholes.

It's a pretty recent policy change

got mine for $49 in Feb by calling ATT to price match amazon, they upped my upgrade cycle from May and I got activation fee waved as well. So 3 months early upgrade, no fee and LGOG all for under $50, really good steal.

Interesting, I called AT&T to see about getting an early upgrade (March instead of May). I was told that they could only do 30 days early. My brother had a similar convo with them about a year ago. Seems like it's luck of the draw on who you actually get on the call.

There is a "resolution" department, but you have to insist that you want to be connected to them.

Yep. Every company has one and you can generally get crazy deals by doing so.

I contacted the store that I purchased the phone from and the manager did issue me the $50 credit BUT ONLY because she didn't want an unhappy customer. She made sure to inform me that company police no longer offers price guarantee on cell phone.....yeah yeah yeah......
