Same thing happened to the Evo 4g when all the new products started rolling out. With the addition of new LTE devices it was only a matter of time before the 3d became a free phone for 2 years of service. I still love the 3d though, came from the 4g as an insurance replacement and it's still going strong. All I need is a fully functional ICS rom and I will be ok until July when I am up for an upgrade.
I got mine free about two months ago. Bestbuy was giving people who upgrade $50 towards their new phone. The phone was on sale for $50, making it free. I called sprint while driving there and said i was upgrading to the s2, but i said i could barely afford it and was asking for some help. They gave me an extra $25 credit and waived the activation fee

I am sticking to my EVO 3D. It's a solid piece of hardware, no need to change it. Don't see the point. Will consider moving on when One X drops to a reasonable price.
Still don't know is this a good or bad thing...
Just hope it will make it a bit more popular.

The summer is coming up & Sprint needs to get rid of WiMax devices. Good news IMHO.

They gotta clear out wimax phones. I think I saw all wimax phones on sale for a penny on amazon with a 2 year agreement. I wouldn't want to be stuck with a wimax device for 2 years now with lte just around the corner. Thanks but no thanks

You do know that WIMAX towers aren't just gonna be shut down and done away with. Anyone who were to buy a WIMAX phone tomorrow, would still have WIMAX 2 years from now.

True but wimax isn't expanding and will eventually be shut down. Wait a few months and get an lte device is what's best for me especially since lte will be in my area eventually hopefully by the end of year. Wimax isn't in my area and never will be.

Well the Evo 3D dropped in price in most countries. Even though its an better smartphone then HTC Sensation, its cheaper now to then the HTC Sensation. The Evo 3D which was first more expensive is now kinda cheap for an smart phone off its specifications.
I see many off you just get the phone with an contract, just like many in The Netherlands do.
Well, I hate to say it but the 3d was indeed a flop (in the business sense) , especially in contrast to the 4g which was an astounding success. The 3d should have been marketed as being sleek and fast but was instead marketed only as being 3d capable which to most consumers.....just didn't fly. After all, whether you like 3d capabilities or not, it's still just a gimmick that didn't take off.

I bet if the HTC Evo 3D was cheaper then the HTC Sensation then many would have just chosen for the HTC Evo 3D.
Now many needed choose between HTC Sensation which was cheaper and HTC Evo 3D and then they needed choose between 1080p 2D video with HTC Sensation or 720P both in 2D and 3D with HTC Evo 3D.
I guess price the Evo 3D got now it should start selling better.
I'm VERY glad that it failed to advertise as 3D feature and not it's Specs, thanks to that i've got my EVO just for 250euros, gsm unlocked. One of the best phones atm on the market, unless buying ONE X instead , no other phone is worth changing for Evo.
When i check differences in EVO and Sensation for example, my face goes like :
EVO 3D , 250euros, dual core 1.2 ,
Sensation XE Beats, 500 euros, dual core 1.5
Sensation XL beats, 530euros, single core 1.5,
Looks like its all about advertise and looks even in current century, 90% of customers never look at Specs or even understand what anything means.
God bless American education and fastfood.
All of Sprint's phones are free on Amazon except the iphone4
I imagine Sprint wants to EOL as many Wimax phones as possible. While they will still support Wimax for a while after their initial LTE rollout, they don't want to be adding to the people who use Wimax; they want to save those people for LTE. Sprint is in a bad place right now, and they need as much money as they can get. Moving out older devices and focusing on newer, more powerful, LTE devices is the way for them to gain what they need.
All contract phones I have ever owned have been free, I guess it's different in the US?

In the Netherlands you can also still get ''free'' phones, only in past you could get an high end device like HTC Desire HD with a contract where you pay in 2 years about € 600.
But that you can forget now, it will atleast cost you 900 euro and you get an contract where you first get an period discount and after that you need pay much more.
So I believe buying your phone without contract can be cheaper.

My feelings exactly. I bought my OG EVO 4G from some guy and got an EVO 3D on an insurance claim (I accidentally wiped the WiMax keys, and I wanted an EVO 3D anyway). I've still got my original upgrade credit from when I signed up. I'll wait until HTC releases LTE phones before I use my credit. I love my EVO 3D, but WiMax is not in my area. LTE will probably be coming to my area eventually, so why not upgrade to an LTE phone as soon as I have a chance?

I find it sad that HTC is giving up on 3d. Yes it was a toy, but one I paid for. They never really got behind the phone. They had that one terrible bubble 3d movie, but that was it. I thought we would at least see a 3d gallery.
Heck we are not even going to see the full blown HTC evo lte. Where is our new quad processor, that our oversees HTC brothers and sisters are getting?
There was never even any 4G in my city (one of the largest in South Florida) and I'm sure we are 2-3 years from lte ever being turned on. So thanks sprint and HTC. What a bad partnership it turned out to be for me.

Lol I am in TN and don't have 4G never have.. So I have the same feeling about LTE and that 10 dollar fee thing is kinda a joke.. Would be nice if Sprint would let us trade in our phones and get a sweet deal on a LTE one since our phones will be outta date soon .. Kinda bummer too all the folks who jumped into another 2 years and will be stuck with a older phone if no one knew that LTE was coming .. Lol.
Along with HTC ICS for the 3D will probably never see any more updates since they are coming out with that new Evo phone.. My guess is the 3D will be dropped on the **** list lol. Seen 3 new LTE phones on Sprints site for pre order.. Anyway's I will be stickin with the 3D for another year But hopefully things will still be poppin over in the threads

I guess you and I will be stickin to the threads for awhile lol
When LTE comes out (either frequency), don't expect the 4G on your WiMAX phones not to work. Sprint plans on keeping WiMAX around (except no more new phones) for legacy phones still running the technology. For a good bit of time at least, until a majority moves to LTE.

to be honest both the evo 3d and sensation have enoumous potential that is yet to be unleashed. with the ice cream sandwhich update the sensation is about 50% faster especially gpu performance. the evo 3d and sensation however were fails for htc and it is evident as they are really cheap to buy now whether outright or plan.

But how many of us actually bought the fone thinking that wimax was the future or did we just want the new next hyped fone, that had 3d and good specs. Their not gonna do a trade in thing cuz there will always be a new big fone.... I really feel more sorry for ppl that got this fone thinking they will qualify for gold membership and have an upgrade every year, though I've heard many ppl argue just that and actually get a upgrade back... soo yawl can try that...

Well, I am gonna nab the new evo for sure! Coming from an Evo 3d, that was a pain for devs to root, the new one will be much easier to work with.
As far as LTE, I'm not holding my breath... in Vegas I can't even find a date for launch. I'm guessing late 2013? Also, they call the $10 fee a smartphone fee now. Go figure?

HTC has announced that the One X won't be unlockable on AT&T. If they don't allow unlocking on Sprint, how will that affect your decision? I'm sure a dev or three will eventually find a hole and give us a root method, but I'm sure it won't be easy and may be a good bit of a wait.
Yes that's a good point. If it cannot be unlocked, I'll keep my 3d.

the evo 3d is still good, not the best phone possible obviously but more than "good enough" with this update, I dont think that I will upgrade at least for six months more, probably next year.
my money now will go toward a new tablet instead of a new phone.
ICS is nice but the New Camera, Kickstand, S4 Krait, 16GB, HD Voice, LTE, NFC and Sense 4.0 with the new EVO is really tempting.
If anything, ICS/Sense 3.6 made my 3D go up in value.
I'm going to need a Sprint leak or final before I actually sell though. Can't roam with the current VM leak.

I think Agrabren mentioned something about finding an exploit in the S4 chip and stated that REVOLUTIONARY will only support qualcom chips. We should be in good shape with or without HTC's unlock, though I doubt Sprint will restrict unlocking.

The OneX is unlockable even on AT&T. HTC announced they understood that customers were very upset that they could not unlock their devices and decided to make all new phones since the 3d, unlockable. As far as sense3.6, I'm not that excited about it. Sense 4.0 is still way much better. I'm going to get the OneX when it comes to sprint in June. But the name is going to be changed, adding it to the evo family. I hear its suppose to be the best evo yet, even topping the Evo4g LTE. I'm excited.

I heard another strong rumor from another strong source that Sprint is giving consideration to cancelling ICS for 3D and offer an early end to contract as good-gesture solution. I think we can see where this is going, right? Early end of contract = full discount price on the next phone.
I don't want one of those LTE phones until the stupid service is available here in Oregon. Right now, I have tons of WiMax and if switch to LTE, I lose 4G!
Why are we putting up with this crap?!
source?
but i think its crap, desire hd etc got 4.0 too...so fare...
This can't be !!
Why would they do that when the Virgin Mobile version has ICS? It wouldn't bother me though since we have 3.6 and 4.0 (minus 4g) available here now but it sucks because my contract is up in July so I would not reap any of said benefits.
Would like to see a credible source on this rumor.

Rumors. People are too gullible these days.
To pick the other side of this, most people on this forum probably have or will get ics one way or another. So if sprint would give us an early out i would welcome that. You know, when you think about it, sprint has all but kicked us 3d owners out the door anyhow. Try and get a refurb replacement. It's pretty tough right now. I can see how it would save them a bunch of hassles by not doing the update. I love my 3d even more after putting myn's ics on it. If i had an early upgrade i would probably follow him to ss3 land.
I was going to wait for the official update to be released, but it just got tiresome. I like running stock-rooted ROMs, and who knows when Sprint will get their head out of their ass to get this done. I bought my EVO 4G LTE, and it's made me happy now.
I would actually love that, sorry guys.

I wouldn't be surprised in the least if it ends up that we (Sprint 3d users) never see an official ICS but I can guarantee that there will be no "mass" early contract out to make up for that.... Doing so would open the door to a mass exodus from Sprint with no etf. This WILL NOT HAPPEN!

HTC has announced the 3d will get ICS but that means the 3d in general, the Sprint variant of the 3d has never been officially confirmed by anyone, neither HTC or Sprint. The update has to be officially requested to HTC by a carrier on a branded devices. It is entirely possible that Sprint may not do so. The only sure thing is that unbranded GSM 3ds will get ICS. Just sayin.....
I have already all but decided that this will be my last HTC device, if it does not receive the official update, it will also be my last Sprint device.

If this happens nobody will have much of a choice.

To pick the other side of this, most people on this forum probably have or will get ics one way or another. So if sprint would give us an early out i would welcome that. You know, when you think about it, sprint has all but kicked us 3d owners out the door anyhow. Try and get a refurb replacement. It's pretty tough right now. I can see how it would save them a bunch of hassles by not doing the update. I love my 3d even more after putting myn's ics on it. If i had an early upgrade i would probably follow him to ss3 land.

I got my replacement in 3 days. Best buy ftw. I wouldnt mind being able to upgrade. I would probably wait tho to see what they do with pittsburgh before getting an lte device. Not trying to not have 4g for the next two years.
I highly doubt this, but I do know that Sprint wants to rid themselves of the 3D

I know it's harder to buy one new on Sprint... Why would they want to get rid of existing 3D users?

I wouldn't be surprised in the least if it ends up that we (Sprint 3d users) never see an official ICS but I can guarantee that there will be no "mass" early contract out to make up for that.... Doing so would open the door to a mass exodus from Sprint with no etf. This WILL NOT HAPPEN!
HTC has announced the 3d will get ICS but that means the 3d in general, the Sprint variant of the 3d has never been officially confirmed by anyone, neither HTC or Sprint. The update has to be officially requested to HTC by a carrier on a branded devices. It is entirely possible that Sprint may not do so. The only sure thing is that unbranded GSM 3ds will get ICS. Just sayin.....
I have already all but decided that this will be my last HTC device, if it does not receive the official update, it will also be my last Sprint device.
