So my Evo came in the mail today, after I canceled my order after hearing they were being held by customs. Sprint canceled my line, and is processing my refund, they said it should take around 6 days, which is 3 days from now. They must've just sent out all of the packaged Evos. Either way, I don't have a contract with Sprint, and I'm playing with the new Evo here! Anyone on the same boat as me?

When I canceled my Sprint order *slaps head* and went with Amazon instead, Sprint told me that in all likelihood they'll probably still ship me my phone. Wish they actually did this to me. I must have canceled it far enough out where they didn't.
I probably would have kept the phone and paid full price if they did.
So are you going to keep the Evo?

The exact same thing happened to me, and I am staring at this thing knowing it's too good to be true... I tried to find out where sprint covers this scenario in their terms and conditions but couldn't find anything. Also I didn't see any preorder cancellation policy. I'd assume they will find out.
I canceled my order just before the customs fiasco began, same day just a couple hours before the news got out. The girl who helped me said I needed to hold while she verifies the phone hasn't shipped, and she came back saying everything is done my order is canceled.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
This is the reason that they stopped canceling preorders. Their system is messed up, and even if the order was canceled, the phone would ship. I'd say hold on to it for a while, see what happens

This is exactly what would seem to make sense, but it takes into assumption that they have the right to enforce it. Frankly, Sprint "should" have this right. But that has to be in writing for them to act, no? They must have authorization to withdraw funds from your account to initiate any charge. Without your express consent, they would need to prove that you agreed to terms that allow them to make further charges in given circumstances... i.e. unexpected circumstances causing errors regarding canceled preorders. Terms that hold me responsible, even if the error is neither Sprint's nor my own fault.
I'm not saying that I think this means is clearly have the right to keep the phone and Sprint is screwed because this is a unprecedented issue affecting a very narrow field of customers... and I'm prob gonna have to send it back. I'm saying that I'm trying to do my homework because I know they have to be able to back up taking action regardless if it's their fault or not that I still received it.
And so far, I haven't seen any clauses that this falls into... notice I said "so far" because this "should" be covered somewhere. I wish I knew someone who worked for sprint, like a cs manager or something who would know how this honestly works.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
The honest thing to do would be to just call Sprint and ask them what they would like you to do with it. I would've refused the delivery from UPS in the first place...Okay I lie, so I would've probably opened it too.

Agreed. I just saw a news story where 69k was deposited accidentally into some guys account. He spent most of the money and is now in for some serious felony charges. I'm not trying to be a Debbie downer or a sober Salley. But if you try to get away with this without 700 dollars in your account... I wish you the best of luck.
Sprint will just send your info to a collections company. Happend to me when I got a replacement razr with rogers. They sent me the replacement phone and didnt give me return instructions to send the borked phone back. Tried calling them about it and they told me, ''the matter has been forwarded to collections.''

I heard someone say there are pre orders, is this true? If so, anyone got a direct link? I can't seem to find it.
Or do you have to actually physically be at the store? If so, that's pretty lame, I'd prefer doing everything online and getting mailed the phone.
Danke
you are going to want to call your sprint store and ask. It still seems to be a store by store case, but YES many stores are taking pre orders. Sprint just hasn't announced it yet.
+1 on Stores or Districts....
My Store is not taking Pre-orders......nor are any others on the island.
Bastards...
I just preordered mine. The guy at the front of the store told me no, so I started playing with the nexus s and the evo 4g. Another rep walked over and I said I came in to preorder the 3d but no dice. He said "yes we are". Sure enough they were. I told him someone may want to let the guy in the front of the store know that. Gotta love customer service . Now I just need a flipping release date.

Pre-ordered as well. I would say you will have to go in, just because of the $50 GC they give you. Always worth a shot calling though. The one thing I am keeping an eye on is Amazon. They seem to be selling phones pretty cheap. The Nexus 4G is priced at $99 or was yesterday and the Thunderbolt was like $80 cheaper than stores plus no sales tax and should be free shipping. I know it will be hard for me to wait on the phone but $100 difference will be hard as well.
Got my preorder yesterday

No need, this phone comes with a whole row of blue teeth, but they will come in an optional firmware update that turns one of your cameras into an x-ray camera.

F THAT! My wife has a friend who just happens to work for Sprint. she got her hands on the phone, her own, today! I played with it. the 24th can not come soon enough.
say what you want I have no pics to prove it but I wasn't going to spend my 5 minutes with it taking pictures. I wanted hands on time. personally 3D isn't bad I think people are expecting too much, more than anything. 3d Photo's are awesome. and the 1.2 dual core, and 1GB Ram. what is waiting? hands down butter smooth and fast. So responsive the phone moves as fast as you do at times, and you end up in places you aren't aiming for. I'll take that ANY day!
Ah I'm in love. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!! If you really take the 3D as an added feature, and take in everything in minus 3D it's everything you dreamed of. My wife wasn't as impressed 3D, but she also admitted she expected the 3D to be more "movie like". whatever. she thought everything else about it was great and she owns the shift.
Also I think sense 3.0 is sweet. granted I'm coming from a samsung moment so ANYTHING other than samsungs crap is better in my eyes, but think the lock screen features are great.
Not a review Just sayin' there is NO WAY I'm waiting a month.
alright now I need to get rid of my hard on.
And she's yelling at me for telling people about playing with her phone before she left the house. apparently I need to say bye and thank you.
Maybe they've been reading the reviews....

My conspiracy theory!
Sprint is holding onto the OTA that will enable S-OFF till 1 day after the 30 day period. Forcing all those nay sayers to put up or shutup. In the meantime they get a swarm of 30 day returns, since no unlocked bootloader, they collect $35 from each for restocking fee, as well as a phone that can be added to a stock pile of refurbs.
Then sprint will push the update, forcing all those who returned to go back to the store and get another E3D! Win win for sprint, they create a stockpile of refurbs and collect $35 from each return!

Why is that dumb? That's the point of insurance, you pay the deductible to avoid paying 600 bucks for a brand new phone off contract.
The only other solution is to buy a digitizer and lcd off ebay and try to install it yourself. I wouldn't recommend it as you will probably spend close to 100 bucks anyway and nothing is guaranteed to work properly.
I personally would rather pay any amount of many than be given a refurb.
If I buy a new car that fails within a week, I wouldn't expect the dealer to replace it with a used car. May not be a perfect analogy but no way I'm paying almost $100/year, to then have to pay a deductible only to be mailed(slow) a refurb. Insurance is a scam.

I agree 100% with this and actually argued that very point with sprint one time and was able to get my account/contract reset so that I could purchase a new phone at the discounted new contract price. Took about 6 hours over 2 days on the phone with them. But worth the time to avoid the refurbished phone, deductible, etc. Of course I didn't drop it, but still.

most refurbished phones are better than they were to begin with everyone i have ever got was perfect
When i had my og evo I broke the screen in feb of 2011 and they replaced it for free. I broke it again in aug 2011 and they said i ad to pay the deductible. That's how I got my 3d.

If you buy a new phone that fails within 30 days, they give you a brand new replacement. After 30 days, your device is considered used.
And that doesn't even really apply to this case anyway, it wasn't a defect, the user dropped it.
your careless with your phone, and think Sprint should give you a free one? How about this, I buy your computer monitor from you, smash it against a wall, then demand you give me another one for free.

Order replacement glass on eBay for like $20 and fix it yourself. It's not hard at all, just make sure you use the proper tools, caution, some in depth research, and very descriptive tutorial (preferably a video with a step by step text description). Just look around Google, YouTube, RootzWiki, and XDA for more information. If you have any problems finding anything, feel free to PM me and I'll help out as best as I can. Maybe I'll write up a walkthrough for XDA when I have the time.

When did it get changed to 14 days? It was 30 days last year as far as I can remember. Damn Sprint....
Excuse me for thinking that if I buy "total equipment protection" (as they call it) I should be able to walk in and have it fixed. I guess I misunderstood the "total protection" part. This is my 3rd shooter (first 2 were defective) and I really just want a different phone.

Lol how did your break the glass? Did you play hockey with it Sorry...
That sucks man I have never broken the glass on my phone... Sometimes sprint may fix it or a 3rd party store like a sprint store not the main one like the one you went too... Some of the smaller stores may fix it for you.. Just gotta check around... I know some places replace the glass for 50 bucks lol beats 100 for a refurbished unit...
Doesn't cost too much if you know what your doing you can fix it your self... Tho if you have warranty on it I wouldn't pull it apart due to voiding your warranty...
Here is a link from the General section sticky thread. Instructions on how to replace the screen. Hit thanks if I helped.

That wasn't dumb, it was a correct answer. That's what u have to pay insurance for a broken phone. I can't see the pic but if its just the screen, my buddy got a screen replacement at a Sprint repair store for 50 bucks. And good luck with ascurion. Their reps are pathetic and rude

My 3D was stolen at work about 3 weeks ago. Filed an insurance claim with Sprint around 6PM the same day, woke up the next morning around noon (lol morning) and the FedEx guy was there with my phone. It was brand new in the box, not a refurb.
So,
1) Slow shipping? Took 18 hours from order to delivery
2) Refurb? This phone is still pretty new and wasn't an awesome seller, so there aren't a ton of refurbs in the warehouse, they normally just send out new phones
3) Always remember to keep your 3G data turned on, even if there is no connection, no telling when some asshole will walk by and yoink it.
Hope this helps everybody!

This is a thread to keep track of people who have successfully swapped out their black LTEVo for the white one. Obviously if you are within your first 14 days that is no problem but for those of use who aren't people this thread may shed some light on how to go about getting the white one.
I'm in my first 14 days

Ehh, I'd like to have the white one, but I think my only option is to sell this one and buy it. I hate the way the white version always comes out later.. Annoying as hell

Indeed.
I asked a rep at a store if it'd be possible. I didn't attempt.
They said maybe through repairs if the situation fit, retentions if you were desperate or a manager with pull, otherwise I'd have to be within the 14 day period.
Didn't expect the rep to say this much about it.

ill bite. maybe someone can elaborate. i tried swapping out today......in my 14 days, well 3 sprint stores, and a bestbuy, nobody has the damn thing!!! no white. only black. so how would i go about getting the white at this point? i called 1 800 number they said i could return to the store i got it from, and go through them. or i could return it, get refunded with a damn check, pay for the 10 days of service i have used, and restocking fee, then buy it when it hits the store? stupid imo!!! i dont know probably gonna just have to stick with the black? any ideas?

Wow, everyone in my region has it. I'd ask how soon the restock would be & then refund the phone if it's too close to the said day.
It all depends on how bad you want it.

I'm going to try the retention route and expressed how disappointed I am that I was not made aware that a one one would be released. I have been with sprint for 7 years always pay my bill on time and I never complain but this is an exception
Eh, was going to try, until I saw the white one in person, at the store.........
I prefer the original black one a LOT more, except for the stupid soft touch rubber on it.
Honestly its nothing special. They always cone out with the white one later.
You signed on early with the black one. Keep it.

I'm not spend $600 to buy another one but thanks for your input
You guys are the reason we are gonna be paying $300 on contract soon. Just keep your black Evo and swap with someone on Craigslist later. It's not that deep. Something so small can create a big mess sooner or later.

I have a black one and the vibration motor is loose and rattles every time I hit a key. I'm about 30 days into it, but I'm going to take it in this week and if I can get ta white one to replace it I will, but if not not no biggie. I don't know if they will swap me with a new one or give a refurb, but it's worth a shot.

Those 14 day exchanges kill our metrics, at least when you do it give them a very satisfied in the survey. Those surveys are what keeps all of us paid

Ok here's the deal guys. I have successfully returned my black for white!! And its boss!! Way better lookin than the black imo. I was within my 14 days, had to pay 35 restocking fee. Didn't mind paying it. Also, since I didn't c this answered.....it came with old firmware!!!! But u have to tell them not to accept that update, because the guy was going to...I told him not to, and that I wanted to c a changelog first. So I'm golden!!! A success! Rooting and s-off ing right now!!
