From my Gingerbread Hero.
BB is now my first stop when I get off work.
Still trying to decide between this and NS4G....
It sounds stupid but software wise the nexus will be dominant but Evo's Hardware kills.....
So im not pre ordering till i find out everything is unlocked and isn't encrypted like the boot loader

E3D Is where its at
Finally realized that.
That's what XDA is for right? I think a few devs are moving from Evo to Evo 3D, so there will probably be quite a few stable roms after the release.
As far as a bootloader, maybe someone will crack it? I only hope HTC and Sprint aren't going down that road.
I'm wondering what they are going to want you to put down on it.

Is there any advantages of pre ordering or buying from Best Buy instead of Sprint? Thanks in advance.
Just did my preorder. Advantage from best buy is I don't have to send in the rebate. It's instantly taken off when you buy it

Probably being able to preorder from BB would be the biggest advantage.

I've got $10 gift card to use towards something there! How much is the phone when you pre-order? $200 with 2yr contract?
Sprint is also doing the instant rebate until June 4th, and i think the E3 is comming out on the same day? I guess my safe bet is just to go with Best Buy.

Does BB charge phone to your sprint account, or cash up front?

Really??? I only thought that T-Mobile was the only one that did that (at least in Puerto Rico, T-Mobile lets you get any phone and split the total cost in 4 payments that get added to your next 4 billing statements). If Sprint does this, then this is a no-brainer.
Pre Ordered Last Night
Pre ordered my EVO 3D last night from the Best Buy on 23rd and 6th ave in NYC.
The store on 62nd and Broadway hadn't heard about it and were a bit ignorant (told me TMO Nexus S works on any carrier, including Sprint and Verizon. Argued it had GSM and CDMA radio in it...)
The pre order cost me $50, which they put onto a gift card and had me fill out a small paper with name and phone number which they entered into their system.
Also, they didn't check my current sprint account.
Hope that helps anybody curious about the process. Very quick and simple when the store is aware of the EVO 3D pre order!

What am i wrong about ?
Nexus S = Developer Phone = Best software

Does anyone know when the instant rebate offer will end from Sprint? Will it be renewed again like it has been so far or will it end before the Evo 3D is released?
I'm asking because I want to preorder the Evo 3D from Sprint, but if I have to go through a mail in rebate I might as well go to Radioshack.

Are you sure? Did this just start recently? They didn't tax me on the full price of the phone when I bought my Evo from BB last year. I still have the receipt. I was charged the two year upgrade rate of 199.00 for the phone and I bought a 35.00 case along with it. The subtotal was 234.98. Tax was 16.45. Total cost was 251.43. Tax rate in Indiana is 7 percent. Had I been charged tax on the full price of the phone which was what? 600.00? I would have paid almost 42.00 on the phone tax alone.
Now what they did do that I didn't like, was charge tax on the 50 dollar gift card which should have been deducted from the final tax cost but it wasn't so I paid 3.50 too much in tax.
Alright I pre-ordered it. The dude that worked there was cool... I almost thought they were closed because there was only 1 car towards the back and looked dark. Anyway the dude that worked there was really cool and we talked about the phone a little. He said he thinks early- mid June and also that he would personally call or email me when the release date is announced.

If you trade your phone into Sprint, BB, or Radio Shack do you need to un-root it first or can you just throw a stock Sense Rom back on the phone and leave it rooted?
Anybody know or what will you be doing?

As long as you can get in with your MSL# you should be able to activate then.

I got my 3d for free technically. My local Walmart has it for 98 bucks and at the time (i think theyre still doing this) they are giving 100 dollar gift cards to anyone that gets a smartphone... So basically they paid me 2 bucks to take it off their hands. Being that this is my second one i was scared itd be hboot 1.5 but apparently back home no one buys sprint phones because coverage is spotty at best..... So i ended up getting it with hboot 1.3
And to they guy debating on epic touch or 3d... Id recommend the 3d if you like custom roms. There are a lot more options with roms, kernels, and overclocking with the 3d. I had it and wasnt overly impressed except for the gorgeous display. Damn i love those amoleds.

Don't you have to renew your contract though? I mean it's not like you can just buy the phone for that price without renewing or signing a new contract....?
So I had to do a claim because my charger port is shot and they don't have any 3Ds to send me. I went ahead and had the phone shipped because I neeeeeed my phone, but I'm pretty upset.

I am in the same boat as well. I've cracked my second Evo 3D within 2 months of each other. I haven't cracked any of my previous phones over the past 9 years, but I've had bad luck with my 3D lol. I am also about to drop Sprint for Verizon due to coverage at and near my house, basically non-existant. I moved from Hawaii to DC because of being Military and where I am at now sucks big time. I've been here for a while and have tried the airwave thing, but my area sucks in general. I have a Verizon blackberry for work and it always has reception where my Evo and Evo3D does not. Also, has anyone else had this happen to them?

Same here. Mine since monday. Wont get one until next week on Wednesday
It's been a long grueling last year with my OG Evo and it's time to part ways. I've always been and HTC supporter and I will continue to support their product. I will be getting an EVO LTE but paying the full $199 just seems outlandish especially now that ATT and T-Mobile dropped the One X to $99.99. I have some other options rather than buying directly from Sprint but I wanted to know other people's experience. Radioshack and Wirefly will ship one to my house, FedEx next day (which means I wouldn't get it till Tuesday), for $149.99 even. I was wanting to know any drawbacks to purchasing from these two providers rather than going through Sprint. I do have full insurance through Asurion so accidental damage isn't my concern but more of what happens if there is a manufactures defect? Also, anybody heard any news of Sprint reducing the price so they can compete? I would hate to pay $199 and then have Sprint drop it to $99 in the next month or so.
I could also go to Best Buy and get it for $149.99. I think this is going to be my first option considering my patience with my OG is running really thin. I am also selling my great condition OG with a ton of stuff so if anyone want to shoot me an offer, I would definitely think about it before posting on eBay.
It's too bad you didn't get it last week bestbuy had it for $99 for a week. I just got mine this pay Friday paid $104 out the door

Ya I just checked and it is only for brand new lines. I need to upgrade so it would be $99 which isn't bad. I may just have to do that. I may walk in to best buy and see if they will honor last weeks price because I'm technically not eligible until Sept 1st and I've tried everything to get my date pushed up. Once again I am upgrading and not starting a new line or contract. The prices vary drastically.
Amazon wireless will have the best deal. No tax.

Ya I just checked and it is only for brand new lines. I need to upgrade so it would be $99 which isn't bad. I may just have to do that. I may walk in to best buy and see if they will honor last weeks price because I'm technically not eligible until Sept 1st and I've tried everything to get my date pushed up. Once again I am upgrading and not starting a new line or contract. The prices vary drastically.

I think that the most important part for you is to get evo with 1.12 hboot. If you go to the big stores or sprint corporate store you may not find it. You need to go to small stores that sell sprint phones, that way you may get lucky.

Yah absolutely. The problem is small stores that sell Sprint have to abide by Sprint's pricing. I fell like if I order one online, it will come boxed and I can do whatever from there. I'm sure there will be a LazyPanda updated for 1.15 but who knows when. Having radio S-OFF isn't the biggest deal to me as long as I can get root. It sucks not being able to sideload firmware but what are you going to do about HTC and their bootloaders. I think I'm going to go through Amazon. It seems to be the only place to get the upgrade price of $99.99.

So get a new line and shutdown the old one. You'll get it for $99 then.

I'm on a family plan. How does that actually work? Would I have to get a new number?

Yes to a new number. Sucks a little but saves some money.

If you have a Sam's Club membership, it's $98.
