nice!!!!!!!
sounds good but I'm still confused
I still don't understand how much I personally will have to pay for this phone.
I am one year into a two year contract that I signed up for when I purchased my Evo on June 4th last year. At the time I was already a Sprint customer but had been out of contract for over two years. I currently have a preorder at Best Buy for the Evo 3d. I have a 150 gold premium upgrade waiting for me to apply to this purchase.
That takes me down to 350 bucks. Is there some other discount I would qualify for that would take me down to 200? Would I qualify for the instant 100 rebate through Best Buy? Is that a separate rebate from the 150 Premium gold upgrade discount? If it is, do the discounts stack?
Confuzzled..

If you qualify for the full upgrade then you get the new customer price. So basically it will be $499-$150 which is $349 but there will be the rebate that will bring it down to $199.
sweet thanks! ill prob go preorder now at radioshack since a price has been determined
Nice, I just paid 550 for the Nexus S and am so excited that the Evo 3D is only 500. Nexus S is going back soon but I can't say I am not going to miss it. I just feel that the Evo is more future proof as far as hardware goes
Awesomeness!!!
Excellent, now I can go preorder at Radio Shack.

Ok I don't know if the price is going to be what it says or not. But you are reading that advertisement wrong.
First the website is 'inyofacerecords.com' which is the Black Eyed Peas label. Which is why it's listed there, right next to the ad for the Black Eyed Peas.
If you're going to attempt to debunk something, at least do it right.

Amazon has it (Green Lantern) listed as June 7th for the release. I don't know how that works, but maybe releasing a copy on a phone is different than the Bluray release date? Or maybe they worked a deal for an early release of the film on the phone or something (they did show that Prince of Persia movie before it was in theaters at the OG Evo release party).

I'm totally with you on this. At the time I made this post I swear I was at the point where I thought this date was at least 90% accurate. Now Best Buy IS taking pre-orders as of this morning but won't give me a date or a price? I dunno, sketchy and I don't just hand out money and not know anything about what I get in return, lots of other dates flying around too. I think there will be a Super Bowl commercial I certainly hope so, if not Verizon is shooting itself in the foot here.

All you are doing is holding a place in line. They give you a $50 gift card for you deposit. You can blow them off if need be and you'll have $50 at BB. What's the problem?

Problem is they don't do 1yr contracts which is a HUGE deal for me at least, big difference between geeting an upgrade in 10 months vs 20.

They are offering their buyback program on this phone for free (everything is for the first week). The basis for the price of the phone is RETAIL. This phone minimum will be $599. At the 10 month mark they will buy back your phone for $240. I think that will compare with a one year plan rather well.

That's not as good as it sounds, I can sell a 1 year old TBolt for 300 on craigslist. Let's do the math a 599.99 phone (regularly priced at 199.99 on contract) will get you a buy back of 240. The retail price of most phones is 599.99 thats 600-240=360. I'd be paying 360 for my next phone!
My next upgrade would cost me almost 1 and a half times more than if I just signed a 1yr contract and paid 70 extra dollars up front. Not to mention Verizon bends backwards when you approach your out of date contract. They've called me a few times about certain "offers" since I'm almost out of contract to get me to renew. On top of all this after I get the upgrade I can still get the 300 extra dollars by selling the phone on craigslist myself making my next upgrade 100% free + profit. I don't sign 2yr contracts it's not worth it in this industry.
This was just tweeted by @Verizonwireless (the official VZW Twitter): "HTC Thunderbolt: no updates to report. We'll share what's real, when it's real, directly. Here."
Looks like we're left in the dark a while longer. Sounds like it's not decided yet, or the release date is too far off for them to announce. Looks like... we should probably be thinking later rather than sooner. Bummer.

Only way Best Buy could know the release date is if Verizon released it to them. Best Buy is only speculating or Verizon has decided to tell them and no one else. Did you receive confirmation on when you can pick up your Thunderbolt?

Its got to be the 14th. Verizon wouldn't let the biggest electronics retailer in the U.S. to be telling thousands of people a false release date. As someone said earlier, the only reason best buy is saying the 14th is because Verizon told them!

I was checking the sprint community forum and seen something that makes sense:
"i work for sprint and they have extended the date of no mail in rebates 3 times already. now it doesnt end until 6/4/2011. and what i have seen is that each date that they extend the instant rebates the day after is the date of a new phone. originally the instant savings was to end on april 16th the day before the echo is released, then it was extended to may 7th the day before the nexus is to come out. now it is extended to june 6th and im hoping they announce the release of the htc evo 3d for june 7th. plus the evo was released in june so i think the 3d will follow suit for sure. It should be a one of a kind phone for sure."
I was also talking to a sprint rep who told me that the number transfer rebate expires 06/23 (what I mean by this is the sprint 'credits' as they call it) in which he said that most likely the EVO 3D would come out after that date.(He made sure to explain to me he didn't exactly know the date and just described a pattern). I also notice the mistake on dates in the quote above it should be 06/04, more info can be found at http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/283940#283940.
So two possible dates, I assume it will be earlier in June. (June 5th)
I was going to pre order it, but with no price point set for without contract purchase and I don't think it would to wise to do that. Would hate to pre order a phone with $50 and it ends up costing $700 full retail, and I'm not paying that. Would have been nice to have a price to go by.

I am sure you can wait until the price is released before pre-ordering. The pre-orders right now are not even being advertised yet so I would think you will still be good once a price is released.
Sprint Rep told me it would most likely cost as much as the EVO 4G, which was $199.99. Based upon all phone carriers, I would say it would not go above $299.99. Also Best Buy Pre-order is not through sprint I was told because Sprint is not doing Pre-Orders. I have to order mine through a rep to get my discounts so I have to wait anyways.

They give you a $50 gift card as "proof" of the pre-order more or less. Could just use the $50 gift card on something else. If you change your mind, they don't expect you to use it exclusively on the phone.
For instance, I could go use mine right now on an XBOX game right now and still be on the pre-order list. And I could also just NOT pick up the phone.
The 3D blockbuster app goes live on June 2nd, so the Evo 3D probably wont launch much after that.
I'm betting on June 3rd, simply because its the first friday of June as was June 4th last year. Plus, June 3rd is better than the 5th or 23rd...

Pre orders at best buy are refundable, they just give you a $50 gift card that you can return or use if you decide to not go through with the purchase. $700 full retail sounds about right though, I'd personally buy it at that price point.

Speak for yourself, I'm hoping for a June 23rd release as that is my upgrade date. I've preordered so if the phone drops before that date I'll have to convice sprint to move up my date, convice best buy to hold my preorder, or pay full retail.

so couldn't you just wait till the 23rd to get the phone??? Why couldn't the evo3d come out the 3rd and you can't wait to upgrade 20 more days
Haha, I'd like to get it today so the sooner the better for me. Also if its after the 23rd then that would suck for people like me who get a $175 discount off the phone from transferring my number and my work discount. So if the phone costs $199.99 like the EVO 4G did then it will only cost me $25. Also as soon as I heard about the EVO 3D my Fuze has been going slower, freezing more and just being a pain in the @ss. It's not worth it to flash an update and try to clean it up, just going to deal with it until the EVO comes out so the day I get it, it will be even nicer. (Cleared some info as it forced me to)
The $175 discount is actually $125 for transferring the number from a different carrier, and $50 from work to clarify for people that are also transferring and be sure to tell the rep that as they may not as or try to find discounts your entitled to. Best Buy didn't ask anything but do your research and tell them where you work to see if you get a discount such as state employee (usually 15%, included teachers, police, etc. (again look this up this is on memory of 2 years ago and I'm not sure what all carriers do on monthly discounts). Remember, Google is your friend on finding you discounts so be sure to use it. (Example: See promo code from a site that your buying something such as advanced auto parts, if you don't Google and active Promo code to save money then your a retard.)

No way I'm paying $700 for a Cell phone. Sprint will have it cheaper than Best Buy most likely anyway. The original Evo is $450 at Sprint and like $550 at Best Buy. They mark their phones up big time.

You have to be employed by certain companies or be a member of certain groups. Every company/group get a different discount.
Ex. The company I work for can get 7% off AT&T but can get 23% off with Sprint. I use the discount through my wife's company, and we get 25% with Sprint.
Lots of different ways.....you are probably eligible to get some kind of discount and you don't know it.

I asked this a while back and was told you could get discounts off some plans but no discounts on the simply everything plans - which for me are the only plans that will work based on the large number of minutes I need - and I don't need a family plan.

Wirefly:
I just spoke with "aaron" of wirefly via online chat.
Apparently they will not be receiving phones until the 26th. meaning you can expect shipments to go out on the 26th AT THE EARLIEST. The later in line you are, the higher the chances you may get delayed even more.
1-Day shipping means the 27th at the earliest, so no time to play with it on the weekend...
Since going with wirefly does save me $70, tax, plus friends and family store, I'll be anxiously waiting, but this does suck
Amazon:
Their website states estimated delivery date of July 1st with 2-day shipping as well!

If you go through wirefly friends and family its 150 not sure of the downside though

Unfortunately, since i save on tax (almost 10%), and it's $20 cheaper than RS or Sprint, coupled with the extra $25 off through fatwallet, I can't say that 3 days is worth $70, but this really annoys me.

1. go here: http://www.fatwallet.com/Wirefly-coupons/ for the click-through. it gives you $25 cash back for ordering any phone on wirefly.
2. to get friends and family price (which is $149.99) google wirefly friends and family.
3. if you have Bank of America, go here: https://additup.bankofamerica.com , and then access wirefly, and you get $50 in your BofA account.
But, all these options do not allow you to have your phone on the 24th.
I don't think you can take the word from 1 chat representative and say it's delayed. I called and asked and they said it would ship on the 24th. Now I'm regretting putting $50 down at Radioshack. I may get it from wirefly friends and family for $150 and then get $50 to spend at Radioshack on accessories and what not...

I hope you're right.

I went with The Shack. Wirefly has some ridiculous policy that if you swap phone numbers on the 3D they charge you like 300 dollars. My wife has a full upgrade, mine isnt up until July so I'm getting the 3D on her upgrade then giving her my Evo. She can't wait to get rid of her Pre, and I'll still be sitting on a full upgrade for the next best phone when July rolls around.

amazon always does this type of stuff. i think its new sprint customers only though, maybe not though.
Yeah.....just for new customers or adding a line, not for upgrades.
I was a new customer and I preordered it on the 8th, you guys think I will get a 30 dollar credit if I call them? I dont know if they do that on the phones, they have been pretty nice to me so I might give it a try tomorrow.
I added another line at the Shack...just my luck! But my first thought when I hear price drop is it's losing its luster so to speak. I probably over-reacted though.

Nah Amazon always have lowest prices. Retail stores can't compete and won't price match Amazon. I still buy from best buy and price match radioshack or lowest retail I can find the Geek Squad protection plan is second to none no deductible $10 a month and brand new replacement even from water damage. So you may save now but lose out on money later.

I actually looked at the details of their plan, there is no where it says you get a straight replacement, they will send it in for repairs if that is necessary. I didn't see anywhere where it says you get a direct replacement. Although it is likely they will replace it, I really hate how every employee at best buy tells you something different, last time I tried to exhange a phone wher gps would never lock and I was within thirty days, one person tried to tell me that is how it is suppose to be. Tried to make a fool out of me and after I talked to the third person, fourth person actually decided to replace it for me.
The offer is $149, in my area at least. And ya, only for new customers. The wirefly friends and family was selling for the same price and was upgrade friendly, for those still looking.
EDIT: I guess I should've re-searched it up. The current price is up to $179- wirefly(DOT)com/eCommerce/SpecialOffer.aspx?cid=26987_584f5c9aca934f7b941e32743e8f2eff

if you kept the packaging and traded it in at radio shack and it was in excellent condition as was mine, the evo 4 got you 158 dollars off on a 3d. so my final in store cost including them incorrectly charging me 12 bucks tax on the original 199.99 instead of the tax on 41 dollars was 54 bucks and some change. beat that
It will be 6-12 months before price drops in my opinion...
These things aren't doing bad yet. My blog has had 3x more hits on the Evo 3D post I made than any other post since Christmas. My local Sprint store's take was "On release day we didn't have the line like we did when the Evo 4G came out", but when I asked for more details it turns out they sold more Evo3Ds than 4Gs (which ran out) the first day, and have had a steady flow of Evo 3D buyers each day since then as reviews have come out. Sprint underestimated the demand for the 4G, and has made sure they have a ready supply of the 3D.

I paid 104 for mine but they also bought my vibrant back from me

Has anyone seen any in stores/etc? I really want the black one, but am running out of time to buy the phone and still be eligable for the $100 trade in promotion which makes it much more worth while. Most stores I've called say not announced... but one store said a few stores have started getting them. I'd even consider the unlocked or dev version from htc direct, but hence no black available there either...
I'm starting to wonder if the black is worth the extra $100 over the silver... but I'm not sold on the silver yet.

All I know is they are over -150 orders in and they are just waiting for them to start showing up. If you cut it close get the silver and just trade it before the 14 days. I am hopeful that it will be either tomorrow or early next week.
I have not heard from a single person who has got it...
I've seen it in store as a demo and was offered one today but ended up buying the silver. I'm in Atlanta for your reference.

That is awesome! Now I'm tempted to head over there lol. I may call to make sure.

Make sure you call before you go. I had three stores tell me the silver was in stock when the HTC one was released when in fact it wasn't.

If you trade it, even though it is the same phone, you are still in the hook for the $35 restocking fee, right?

probably but I'm sure you probably can try to argue that it was suppose to be out the 19th and you had to get the rebate just to see what they said. I just talked to AT&T and it may be better news she said that the preorders and now at -144 so either they started shipping some or people canceled the orders.
I guess I'll call some Best Buys today then... I bet they'd even price match Walmart's $150. I'll also try calling a few corporate stores again today, though I'm sure they're tired of people calling.

I was at best buys yesterday and almost purchased a silver one. They approved the price match with walmart without hesitation. Decided to hold off and wait for the black but it's getting really difficult.

I actually got my silver on the 18th, but no rebate, just the media link streamer. I'm not sure it is worth the extra $35.

Just called them. They do not have the black in stock as I suspected. I doubt there are any black units in stores currently since the AT&T preorders haven't even shipped.

Unless they actually checked the availability right in front of you there's reason to believe them. I've been misled several times already.
I don't follow market trends or tactics but if I had to make a guess. You will see the black show up on the S4 release date.
Additionally, I'm surprised BB matched Wal-Mart. The price match doesn't include wireless phones. At least that is what their policy states.

my BBY said they stopped that practice. And I was trying so hard to wait to see if my Radio Shack was getting it so i could do the $50 Play store card. but they have no info on it. So I called ATT chewed them out and got the silver one for $150 free overnight and no activation fee. Im currently siting by the door lol im so impatient couldn't wait any longer:laugh:
