I found on this site that when you pre-order the HTC Evo 3D you get 15%-23% off your monthly Sprint bill, $50 service credit and a $35 rebate. Here's the link to the site if you're interested. I know I've been looking forward to the Evo 3D!
Sprint Evo 3D Pre-Order Discount
I'm buying mine full price, wish I could go ahead and give them the cash and let them ship it to me when its ready lol
niice, thanks for the link bro.
You should clarify that this is for: "New Sprint customers, new lines and add a line"
If you are an already existing Sprint Customer and are qualified for an upgrade:
Waived upgrade fee
Discounts off of Monthly Recurring Fees available to qualified members
Free Overnight Shipping, and
$35.00 StudentRate rebate

I want to port tmobile number nad get $125. How the pre order thing will work with me?
Are you able to add a line to your account and put the EVO3D on that new line, then do a swap of numbers b/w your original EVO4G and new EVO3D so you then have the new phone # on your EVO4G and the original phone number on your EVO3D? Then once done you can cancel the line you just added?
Back with nextel this was common practice by those that upgraded often and was easily done b/c all you had to do was swap the SIM cards back then.
Yep everything but the cancel part

i second that i wanna know before i get spammed up the ass
IDK if OP is from androidforums or not, but we had a discussion about this:
HTC EVO 3D Discounts
And pretty much all of us decided against inputting our SSN into a studentrate.com site. IDK how this site can offer this deal when no one else can.
Here is what I am planning on doing to get the EVO 3D. First off, I will pay the ETF (which should be about $100, then I will sign a new contract with Sprint and get the EVO 3D at the discount price. Then I will sell my HTC EVO 4G and offset the price. I spoke with Sprint and the rep said that this is just about the only way to get the phone at the discount price without upgrading my contract.
This site seems a bit sketch...
I got this same deal in the past when I got my HTC Evo. The form didn't ask for any social or credit card info. When I filled it out someone called me so I could place the order with them over the phone

If you do that, Sprint might not take you back immediately. I've heard that if you cancel with them they might make you wait a few months before you're approved for a new account. The other thing is that you could end up hurting your credit. I'm not exactly sure. If you were a sprint Premier member, you might be able to get grandfathered in for your 1 premier upgrade this year, because that's what they did for me.

How??? I called in twice and was told no both times...
If you pre-order one of these phones you're guaranteed the discounts mentioned? Anyone know when the nexus s is suppose to be released?
I have the kinda the same question. Do you only get the discounts if you pre-order? What if I want to just wait till the Evo 3D comes out?
I think the Nexus S is suppose to come out early spring, so maybe this month?
I think you might still be able to get that discount even if you wait until the device comes out... However, considering the shortage of EVOs online due to some of the components being manufactured in Japan, there is a risk that the EVO 3 D will run out and be back-ordered at least that's what I think
Do you think the Evo 3D release date will be pushed back because of this?

It can't be pushed back if it was never announced
for what it's worth. Student Rate is legit. Basically, there's a guy that works there who holds all your info till launch day, and then bulk processes all the pre-orders witha dedicated sprint rep over night.
When I switched to sprint from ATT, my wife and I preordered our Epic4G's that way. I didnt put my CC info or SSN on the student rate form, but I was in constant contact with the guys there over email, and the night before launch day, I gave them the info over the phone.
I have called two Radio Shacks about this and not surprisingly they were clueless on the details. From the Radio Shack site:
Trade-in offer good 6/24 - 7/31/2011. $75 offer valid on select smartphones only. To be eligible, the phone must power on, cannot be PIN locked and must be in fully functional, working condition without any broken components, including, but not limited to, cracked display. In addition, the cell phone housing or casing cannot be cracked or broken, and neither the display nor the housing can exhibit any signs of liquid damage: Limit 1 per customer.

My Hero that has been beat to **** actually meets that criteria and I'd take $75 for it in a heartbeat. So...which phones are the "select smartphones" they reference? Is the Hero one of them?
When I called RadioShack, the guy I spoke with said the store has a list of phones 'guaranteed' to get $75 and that it was 'quite a few'. Unfortunately for me, an old HTC Touch Pro2 was not on that list .
I've been wondering the same thing because I would trade it no doubt for $75
if the list has been published, it'd be helpful! I have a htc snap, touch pro, centro, htc vogue that i'd love to get rid of for $75... total
Actually have a Question for you guys, if I take a Samsung Epic today will they traded in for a Gift Card?
The trade in right know is 140 for the Epic 4G... What do you think?
BTW.. The Epic is not in my name, it was a gift but it cannot be activated because the person has not pay the last bill, and the phone shows active.

Radio shack told me that my cdma hero would only get $52 Max from their buyback program. However, the guy seemed to be clueless as it took him 30 minutes to complete 2 Evo 3d preorders.
Can someone please post the $75 list if you have it?
Also, does it mention anything about the trade ins being stock/rooted?
EDIT. Signing up for RS email gets you a $10 off coupon. Maybe/maybe not work for Evo 3d as it says "May not be valid on certain other discounts." Whatever that means... worth a shot, I guess.
2.3.4 on a Hero? Yup
I just checked out my local RadioShack on 3rd Avenue in New York City and they had the list of cell phones that qualified for the $75 credit. Unfortunately the HTC Hero was not listed
See attached picture for the complete list posted at this RadioShack.
What a scam! $75 is theft for most of those phones!
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA Premium App
Sprint has their own buyback program that you can use as a credit toward you account. They are currently offering $150 for the original EVO! I'm using that and my $45 "stay with us" credit they just gave me on top of my upgrade...which will land me the 3D for $5! Check Sprint's buyback program and see how much they will give you for your phones: https://secure2.sprintbuyback.com/consumer/
They also accept phones from other carriers...

Better than nothing...and probably better than what anybody would give you for that phone! Hahaha! I paid $450 for the EVO on launch day because I bought the Hero on it's launch day with my upgrade and wasn't eligible for an upgrade in June when the EVO launched...I couldn't stand one more moment with the Hero! Sprint gave me $80 for it a year ago...win-win if you ask me!

My Evo is beat up.. but works. I have a 3rd party battery and charger. Anyone have any experience selling it to Sprint/BB/RS?

Hi all, im a long time lurker and decided to make a thread on my new findings from radio shack. I went today to reserve my evo 3d at radio shack and i asked if the price was still 600 because i had the flyer saying it was 500. So as i speak with the radio shack rep he asked the question that i didn't want to be asked. He asked me if i qualified for an upgrade and i said because of the new premier rules i didn't qualify, He then said are you sure(as the time i spent all day today with sprint didn't confirm this already), so i said of course not then he said we are having a promotion that if you purchased an evo 4g before june 30th you were eligible for a full upgrade. At that point my eyes lit up and i said don't ef with me. He then gave sprint a call and told them about this promotion just to make sure i qualify and then the confirmation was there. bottom line is i now pre ordered the evo 3d and i am paying only 200 with a 2 year upgrade. I still cant believe this. Thank you radio shack i was prepared to drop 600 for this phone. Hope this will help others as well.

That's similar to what I just heard...
Do you know if this is before/after your trade in of your 4g?
The manager at RS I talked to said that the phone would be $300 with a new contract using this deal - and $100 trade in credit for the 4g.
Double check that if you can.
She didn't sound very clear on it to me...

P. S. If you ask just to trade in your EVO 4G the credit would be $158 and not $100. It's only $100 if you ask to trade it in toward a purchase of a EVO 3D. If he was a friend he would have said that.

Yup thats it. Its good that radio shack isn't jerking people because sprint doesn't even tell you. I spent 20 minutes on the phone with a sprint rep and said i only qualify for 75$. Kudos to the manager at the bayonne nj radio shack.
Weird....I bought my 3VO at midnight during the premier pre-order.... I used the same card as I have linked to pay my bill....
Here's what's weird .... They posted the 239ish as an account credit in addition to giving me a credit of $70 for extending my contract....so now, today, instead of owing spring money, I have a credit of around 150.....
Did this happen to anyone else? Seems like I essentially got the 3VO for free, plus the $70 credit.....you'd think they would have,figured that out.....I'm not gonna be the one to tell them!

the phone wont get billed to your account until the next billing cycle
Dont get to excited, I bought the evo3d and had $230 credit, I also thought I got lucky!.. Then 2 days ago they updated it and now I owe. lol
Yet you could still get to keep it, you never know! Good Luck!
Yeah my payment showed on the bill but it adjusted after a week.
That is how Telesales does it
When you order and pay, they apply the payment to your account. When your next billing cycle comes, they then bill your account.
I would advise still paying your account as normal, otherwise, you will owe.
Telesales always does this.
I had a payment due of 18 bux, but I still posted by 235 payment, now shows a credit of 216.. I know it will catch up.. I have been through this before.. that is how it works (I have 5 lines and airave).
To the op what happen is someone renewed the contract on one of you lines to get the $70 credit. They will not fix it. If it was done on the line with you 3d it was in customer service rep error but it will not be charged back to your acct. I work at sprint and have done this a few times and got wrote up for it but it never affected the customer.

And 2nd, why would you need a screen app anyway? If you got credited it for it,all you do is log in to your account from a COMPUTER, and take a small pic of your bill with the EVO 3D price in the credit column,instead of showing that they charged you for it.
I mean its really easy to type hey i ordered 2 evo's and sprint gave them to me for free. #imjustsaying
Now of course mistakes can happend and do happen But what is sounds like REALLY happened is, you ordered the evo and actually paid for the phone. Since you paid with credit card, of course it will come up as a credit because its a payment. Now for you to actually 'get the phone for free',you need to see another item on your bill (or not). The first item of 239 or so should be when you paid credit card, the next item(which might not come for a week or so, or next bill) is an item actually charging an evo 3D to your account.
Now for you to actually 'get the evo for free', you should see NO charge for the price of the evo, OR you should see a charge/price for the evo, but put in the credit column. WHich basically means if you paid 239 by credit card,but the evo item charge came and and it was a credit, you should actually see $578 of credit (since you paid for a phone AND they credited the price of an evo to you).Most people chose to have the phone billed to their account instead of paying so this 'free' evo wouldnt apply to us.
Im pretty sure that didnt happen, and they simply didnt charge the phone to your account yet.

I realize mostly everyone has probably ordered this phone by now. But for those who havent I found www.letstalk.com has a nice deal on it.
149.99 enter coupon code SPR15MAY end total 127.49
Free overnight shipping.
It also says free activation im not sure if it counts for this phone or not.
Deal is valid till may 28th.
DISCLAIMER
I have no idea if this site is legit as I have never ordered from them. I believe they run Walmarts online cell phone sales and I know they have been around forever so I would assume they are legit.
I also have NO idea when they will get their stock in, just hoping to save people who havent ordered yet a few bucks.
Hope I helped someone.
Thanks for the heads up. I have not preordered, but check here regularly hoping people will post the good deals when they find them. Not sure I ready to jump on board yet, but pretty sure this will be my next phone. Still holding out but I really appreciate the info.
Yeah I think letstalk are the people who handle walmart wireless stuff on their site. Wirefly surprisingly is still doing a promo that I found on techbargains too with coupon code "TB20" for $20 off making it $129.99 total. But... who knows when any of these third party resellers will actually ship
woohoo my upgrade is on June 01, I hope these are still valid until then.
Just for those on the edge, I preordered my E4GT from LetsTalk for a steal ($70), was backordered, upgraded to free overnight and was given a free $25 towards accessories. Their CS isnt as good as Wireflys but it gets the job done. FYI, they do have a 181 day policy like Wirefly.
Basically: if you wanna save some bucks, don't let their name be the limiting factor
be careful, wf ppl haven't gotten theirs yet
