Well I went to my local Sprint store today and asked the employee there about pre-ordering the Evo 3d, he said they weren't taking pre-orders and he hasn't heard anything about when they will take pre-orders. Cool
Yeah until an official email goes out I think it's just a hit or miss between stores. I'm getting worried though. June 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 8th (some speculation dates I've heard) are all right around the corner and still no word!
I want to know why they wont give a dang price. I dont wanna pre order something when I dont know how much its gonna cost.

Id say a safe estimate is no more than $300 with full upgrade eligibility. Is that too much? Also, preordering does not lock you into the purchase so who cares?

Some stores might not be doing it yet but the store in Lafayette, Louisiana is. I just pre ordered 2. 1 for me 1 for wifey. Paid 100 bucks and got back a yellow sprint card.
The manager said I was the first guy to come in and ask about them. He seemed to know exactly what was going on and processed my payment really fast.

I think what is likely the case is what was mentioned in another thread - corporate stores seem to know the situation while the non corp stores do not. Might not be an airtight assumption but seems to have some clout to it.
Only can pre order at cooperate stores. I jus did mine at union nj

you think it'd really be necessary for a pre order? Unless you are really into cell phones and tech, most people don't even know this phone exists. I can't see them being endangered of selling out or anything opening weekend. I could be wrong.
The evo4g was on backorder for weeks after it was released in my area, heck even my touch pro was oos for a week+ on release. Those purchases were done through a corporate sprint store so im sure they were available at other places but people who want to go through sprint will probably need a preorder if they want it soon.

Last year there were about 15 people waiting outside of radio shack at 545 who didn't pre order the evo. RS only had about 5 that weren't spoken for by pre orders. If you want to be safe and get one on day 1, I strongly recommend you pre order.

When i pre ordered the guy had to read me a list of things and we basically had a convo about it . He says for the evo there was like 30 people at 7 am. So if the store theoretically got 100 phones alltogether....and 90 ppl pre ordered and 5 came into get it and i didnt get out of work till 4 pm to come get mine id be **** out of luck and have to wait a couple more weeks. He says chances are slim but it could happen. I pretty much stated the same thing you said to him but he seems to think it will be popular to non-techy people too right off the bat.

no more 1 year contracts or upgrades. You have to wait 20 months to upgrade now. It says some where in there though that if your a sprint gold member with a upgrade from sept. 1st 2011 to the end of the year Dec. 31st 2011 you can use it but if not then your hosed.

If this is true, we can Thank the iPhone and all the Apple A-HOLES. The CARRIER KILLER Strikes Again. I now wish AT& T was able to buy T-Mobile. At least Sprint would have tried to stay competitive still. Once a Carrier gets the iCrap they forget who got them there

This is a **** move from sprint, they are going back downhill. They are upping their etf to $350 and now this? If they had decent 3g then ok but service is subpar. They want to play with the big 2 (being Verizon and AT&T) and they can't even match them with service. Yes we have unlimited but what good is that if people are only getting 300 kbps downloads.

Sprint is far from putting whip cream on waffles, they where doing good before these changes. I would not renew my contract for a $350 etf for **** service.

What's funny is I just talked to a Retention Manager and He told me that he got that e-mail about 30 minutes ago about the Premiere Program going away and was surprised it was in the Interwebz already. This is horrible. I have been with Sprint 11+years and if they think they can move up to the big dogs (Verizon & AT&T) and NOT provide the same Speed in 3G and 4G (LTE) they are going to loose customers so quick it will make their heads spin. Greed plain and simple. Get the iPhone and get Greedy, A-Holes. Bye Sprint, Hello Verizon and the Bionic.
All of this is totally understandable to me at least on Sprints part. They have the best rates and want to keep them a little longer. They have to make cuts somewhere.
I probably don't sympathize well because I just now finally got a cell phone but I think their rates are way better than Verizon or AT&T.
I do understand long term bonuses though because I've worked at the same place for over 18 years and to lose something sucks.
If I am going to get RAPED, I will at least have better coverage. Sprint has horrible coverage and thinks because they are getting the iPhone they can be Jerks. Adios Sprint, Hello Verizon. My Wife has a 24% discount with Verizon. Hopefully the Bionic is a nice phone. I may just go Trac Phone. This is getting ridiculous.
This thread is going no where real quick.

What I really don't understand is why this would the the iPhones fault. I've read that iPhone users don't use as much data as Android users, so I'm a little confused why Sprint would need to put the new rules in place.

Here's the New iPhone policy. ****ing iPhone just KILLS CARRIERS and their existing customers.
Me and my gf signed up b4 the 14 day exchange policy do we still get our 30 days?
This stinks but its bringing them to same as the other carriers. Also, at least they are giving notice, over 3 months for the people who are close. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Verizon gave like no notice when they screwed over. Not happy, just hit gold and all cause its a crappy iphone but I can't see leaving for another carrier when they do the same or worse. Sprint still has the best plan prices and unlimited data (not saying this won't change next) F Apple.
So I was helping a guy at the home depot I work at. I saw the Guy had a S2 skyrocket and asked him how he liked it, then I showed him my Note I just got. Turns out he works for AT&T corporate. He new about the Note but wasn't really familiar with it, so I got my gadget geek on and showed off what the Note can do and then talked about the network around Atlanta.
So I went into work for an hour today to help out on a special order and I had a message with a contact number. So I call and it's someone from at&t, she told me that Guy I helped was so impressed with my knowledge and passion on mobile that he gave the info he had on me to her. Now she wants me to come in and discuss opportunities with business sales. It's face to face stuff mostly (not a call center).
Update: Got an interview on Tuesday at one of their corporate offices.
Update2: So I interviewed with them on Tuesday and it went very well. They said they have some in house promotions about to happen in a few weeks to a month and they would be contacting me again when they know more about the upcoming opens on their floor. It would be a 8-5 job with base salary and commission with business sales in the mobility division.

I could sell the sh*t out of some phones. Haha. It's funny how uninformed the sales clerks are at some stores. I literally saw an At&t employee trying to sell an iPhone to a guy based purely on Siri, and couldn't even get it to work. Her explanation was that "it just doesn't work sometimes, but it's still a really great feature"
Sad thing was, the guy walked out with an iPhone that day. If only I could have saved his poor soul...

Hey I'm all for it if it helps catch "bad guys" and junk. If you're not doing anything illegal who cares. Do what ya gotta do to catch the jerks. I for one am sick and tired of people getting away with junk, it's ultimately costing all of us.
It's worth noting that there's nothing in the article that indicates that they don't have similar orders in place for other carriers. The Verizon order is the one that leaked, but it would seem that given the breadth of the order, it's probably not VZW specific. The others just haven't been leaked at this point.
I don't personally lose a lot of sleep over this, but I can understand the concern on this. I do think that an order this broad is excessive.
I'm sure it's not just Verizon
I love the "if you're not doing anything, nothing to worry about" argument. No, I'm not doing anything. And it's because of that fact that no one should be building a database on who I call and for how long and where. People just don't get it... How far will it go? When does it stop? Should every person walking the streets be subject to search at any given time because "we might get a bad guy"
Sorry, but I don't do anything wrong. I'm a simple family man who enjoys sports and tech. And I am bothered by my government spying on me and my fellow citizen for no reason at all.
The article states, the conversations weren't recorded, but that's next. And how would you feel if some computer somewhere is recording you talking dirty to your wife? Or whatever, insert whatever you want there.

All airwaves are "leased" from the FCC. I deal with radio communications. Fire and law enforcement were pushed onto the 800MHz spectrum about 10 years ago. Now the FCC wants them to move to the 700MHz spectrum so they can lease the 800MHz to cell phone carriers. Tax payers pay for the equipment needed to make this change which isn't cheap.
All the complaints I heard about google snooping on your WiFi are nothing compared to our own government snooping on every spectrum out there.No communication is sacred unless it is face to face.
The extreme would be to go back to basics of a land line so your location couldn't be tracked. And not using any social media sites or forums. How far are you willing to go?

Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
What I find more disturbing is how ok a lot of people are with our constitutional rights being blatantly violated by the government under the guise of they might catch a boogeyman. The point isn't "if I'm not doing anything wrong, I have nothing to worry about, so I don't care". The point is the lower level implications that the government is wiretapping us without a warrant for us individually without just cause. They cannot do that according to the constitution, and there should be impeachment implications over it AFAIC. Same goes for the second amendment. You might not like it, but it is our right - constitutionally - to be able to own firearms. Like I said, I'm troubled by how many people are just ok with our rights be stripped of us. Rights that make us American, that made us the free people we were.
I wonder how much more intrusion, how much more erosion of our rights it is going to take before the American people revolt and tell them to back the eff off. I don't think we are those kinds of people any more sadly. We are not the people with the spine to stand up to big brother to defend our freedoms from an overreaching government. Myself included - I know I don't have that in me.

While true, the Patriot Act was extended by congress and signed by the president that is sitting in office right now. They had a chance to let it die, and didn't. Now it is all on them for what we have today from that Patriot Act POS when they should have let it die out.
The government likes to use the argument that "they (we) are still looking for terrorists." This argument is now void. Seriously, we stopped trying to end terrorism years ago. We cannot possibly still think that our government is still trying to do this. They are constantly getting into our private lives like it is nothing.
Look, I am a soldier in the United States Army, and I do not see myself ever going into some senators house and going through his documents because I can. That is exactly what they are doing to me! I have nothing to hide. Just do not go through my personal life. I guarantee that they would not like it if I went through their personal lives. LEAVE MY VERIZON RECORDS ALONE!

It's like T-Mobile Jump, all the major carriers are doing it. It lets you upgrade every six months by letting you make monthly payments on a device.
What happens to the phone that I have currently. Do I trade it in or just get a new one.

The htc one has been confirmed by Verizon for Aug 1st (or week of). It's about time if you ask me but I'm happy it's coming. Mainly for what it means in development for our DNA now that that's a similar phone and it's cdma. Although ido wish i could u upgrade to this im content with my dna. What do you think of it? Anyone plan on switching?

Where is your source for this confirmation? Everywhere I've read says that Aug. 1st is only a rumored date because of the road map leak which has been, for the most part, false so far. Do you have updated official news from Verizon I don't know about?

If you're asking about Edge, you keep it. What Verizon will do is they'll split the retail price of the phone into 12 payments, then you make a payment each month until it's paid off, then the phone is yours. No need to renew your contract or trade in your phone.
But enough about Edge, this isn't the place to discuss that

I had to go to a couple Verizon stores Friday. All the employees said the same thing (at different stores). They said it was just told to employees that morning. One is actually on xda too lol.

That is great news! I've been obsessing about this phone for months so at this point you could tell me it sprouted ears and a tail and I'd be ready to believe you lol. Sorry if this is asking too many questions -but I'm a woman and need details- did those employees state that the phone would hit shelves that day or just be ready for pre-order? Any word of a press announcement happening a day in advance or day of? If they are launching it Thursday and not making a big deal of it I want to make sure I'm there bright and early (or on the website) to get one! Any word of it being in red? Feeeeeed my HTC One hungerrrrrrrr :laugh:

By the time you pay it off HTC will have released a new flagship phone and the One will be left 2 generations behind in the Android world.

No, you have to hand it in... It's not really a consumer friendly thing. Just makes it look like it. T-Mobile are the only ones doing it right. With Edge you pay installments for you device and still have to pay the Verizon plan pricing setup to be profitable when handing out subsidized phones.
But back to topic, our phones are not that inferior to the HTC One. Actually only the CPU is older. Barely. Other then the sexy aluminium body and smaller screen, the phones are very similar. Well I guess the One has an IR blaster too.
I really want a One. I love my DNA but the One is just so sexy.

Well, thanks for the info on edge and the one. I recently got the DNA, since I went into the pool with my gs3 in my pocket. I am loving the phone. I had one issue with the proximity sensor not working properly. I had to root and the use the resound proximity calibration app to fix that. Is that a know issue with DNA.

About Verizon edge...
You lose unlimited if you have it
It's actually more expensive than a subsided phone
You have to trade in the old one
Rip off
Although the 1st is just a rumour can't say its been proven false till the 1st. Also a Google search reveals like 20 plus tech sites saying the same thing... I'd say believe it at this point.
