Just like the title says. I am curious to see what everyone else is doing... I am trying to decide myself.
I was going to keep my Hero as a backup so I can cancel insurance. Well not anymore, trading it at RS for $40 and decided to keep paying insurance. I can't go back to the Hero after having dual core, too painful.
im actually going through radio shack and doing a trade in for 100$ credit applied to my 3d
Wait about 30 days or until I realize I'm keeping the Evo 3D then selling my Evo on Ebay for 200+
EVO 4g x 2 trade in at Best Buy @ $138.00 each!!!
have my EVO sold for $250...
person knows i won't sell til friday night though
Samsung moment: Turning it into a dedicated remote and keyboard for my HTPC.
Where's the poll option for "Smash it with a big hammer"?? I've been looking forward to getting rid of my Touch Pro since I first used Android 18 months ago.
selling my hero and keeping my evo.

Haha true. Didn't think about that. Hope you are not just throwing away the parts afterwards
I'll be keeping my Hero. Might flash it to metro pcs for my son or sell it on eBay or Craigslist. The $30 they would trade it in for is not worth it.
BTW: I'm refraining from getting on XDA on Friday until I get my EVO 3D.
My Evo is going to my wife, her Optimus S will be a back up phone. Insuring, both evo's.
I'm switching back to Sprint from T-Horrible and giving my Vibrant to my sister
Taking my wifes Hero and making it a WiFi Skype line for the house and giving my OG Evo to her....
I'm giving my Samsung Epic4g to my Mother, who has a Samsung Intercept, and taking her Intercept and selling it to the lowest bidder.
I will trade in my old Touch Pro 2 for $43.31 and a radar detector for $35.33 for a total of $78.64.
I will keep my evo 4g and get the evo3d for $120 after trade-ins. When the next phone better than the evo 3d comes out....I will trade in my evo 4g and evo3d for that phone.

Selling the Vibrant and hopefully finding a OG EVO on the cheap for a backup
Gonna keep my O.G. Evo for back up. That and if the bootloader is not cracked within 30 days the 3d is going back

Sold my Evo on Craigs list this weekend for $220. Had 3 people interested the day I posted the ad. I recommend anyone who has a backup phone to go to until the 24th try to sell it first before trading it in.
Back to my Vogue for a week. And to think I used to love this thing.

You had to have purchased your evo from bestbuy and you must show a reciept. Bestbuy called me saturday to let me know that they were getting 25 evos friday and that me and my girlfriend were 5 and 6 on the list. I asked if they were buyin back evos and he said $100 tp $150 depending on condition and you must have geeksquad reciept. I sold mine and my girls on ebay for over $200 but if you bought your evo from bestbuy and are getting your 3d from them this mite be helpful info

Better of privately selling anyway. There are a lot of people out there looking for EVO's. I sold mine yesterday for $220. I placed an ad on Craigslist Friday night and had 3 people the next morning wanting to buy it that day.
Why anyone would want to trade it in and get robbed by BB, RS, or Sprint is beyond me. I can understand if the EVO was a hard device to sell, but there are so many people who are not eligible for upgrades and are willing to pay $200 or more for a used EVO.
So I am using my HTC Touch (Vogue) for a week. Damn I need my Android back! And yes I had Android running on this device but after owning the EVO it was unusable so I loaded back WM 6.5 which definitely runs faster on the Vogue .

Your right. You can get way more selling it on craigslist. I just hope I can find my old blackberry somewhere in the trash so I can connect it until Friday.
I went to the Sprint store today and asked about the buyback program and my Evo 4G. She just asked for my phone number and started typing.. then asked if i pre-ordered the Evo 3D.. i said yes. She kept typing then told me to just come in 2morrow when i pick up the Evo 3D and tell them i want to recycle my phone and i will get $150. She didnt even look at my beat up (but working) Evo 4G.
Im not sure if she put a note on my account or what but she sounded so certain that i bring it in and get my $150 credit. Anyone know for sure?
I hope i get her when i get my Evo 3D tomorrow.. im doubtfull it will be that easy and that they are giving $150 for any working Evo... if so.. winning!
Sprint will give 150 for the EVO and 115 for the EVO Shift...I know-I work for Sprint. They always offer this as well for those that did not know. Also, you can trade up to three phones to really drive that out of pocket cost down.

I am pretty sure if your EVO is not majorly damaged, i.e broken glass, and it turns on, you will get $150 dollars credit on your account for trading it in. EVO 3D for $50 with full upgrade credit.
I guess ill find out tomorrow hehe Thanks for the help.
I wasn't gonna do that...I was gonna sell my evo 4g and accessories on craigslist but I have been reconsidering it....sell the evo to sprint for the 150 and the accessories for 50.
I have an otterbox commuter, HDMI cable, spare batteries, and a stand alone battery charger.
Think all of that is worth 50 bux?
Do they care about sending in the battery? I have two Evos (one upgraded to a 3D) and it would be great to keep the battery as a spare.

Hmm. So I could get something for my Hero? I was thinking of selling it on craigslist, but I'm not sure the demand for a used Hero...
The site said $40 for the Hero.
So wait... if I get the phone thru Sprint, they will buy back my EVO 4G @ $150? Did I need to be a part of a buy-back program like Best Buy? I just pre-ordered with BB!
Nope......

Sprint will buy back the phone.
I took my rooted evo to my local sprint store yestetday and got $150 added to my account on the spot. With my $70 loyalty credit I got my 3d for only a couple of bucks.
They let me keep my sd card and charger.
Easier for me to do instead of selling it.

Sprint will buy back the phones but not the accessories. If you turn in an EVO and a hero the 3d costs you ten bucks. If you want to try and get fifty for a hero on Craigslist you will be waiting a while.

Where I am CL is saturated with them. Over 18 were posted for sale today alone.
I know you leave some money on the table, but the Sprint deal isn't so bad, and with alot less headache and waiting. I was going to go this root but I'm not as excited about the 3D as much anymore so I'm going to keep my Evo.
I dont think you can get more than $200 on craigslist for the Evo 4G and on top of that the internet is probably flooded with people trying to sell their old Evos.. so lots of competition. A few weeks ago people were selling them on ebay/CL for $200+ easily... but now that will just get harder and harder.
I sure hope its easy for me to get my $150.. my phone is beat up and rooted.. but as i said it works and the woman made it seem like id surely/easily get the full $150 credited to my account tomorrow.
I would of traded it on the spot if she asked offered.. but she told me to do it when i pick up my 3D. I hope the quote doesnt go down tomorrow... it shouldnt since every other retailer is offering $150 for the Evo 4g.
fyi..
google sprint buy back.. it will take you to the official buy back program. sell your phone for 150 + any other phone you have. I just did. works just fine.
sold my evo and my old iphone 3g.. i kept my sd card .. just ship the phone itself.

Go to the Sprint buy back website and lock in the $150 price, it's good for 45 days...
You can either mail it in, or go to the store and trade it in for instant credit.

I am so excited for 100 bucks I basically get to upgrade to this dual core beast! You should see the pictures of my evo it still functions I will take some pics and show everyone how destroyed my PC36100 is

nice, thats how I got my 3D, I was pretty shocked when it said they were shipping me a 3D... I actually got one that was brand new in the box, instead of one that was Refurbished by Asurion like they ususally do... felt good getting to upgrade for only $100 and not having to extend my contract was a plus for sure... you'll love your 3D... ive had mine for almost 4 months. and Its a killer phone.
That's how I upgraded my phones for years. I went from the Mogul to the Touch Pro to the Touch Pro 2. Maybe I'll get an opportunity this year on whatever the next big thing is.
Yeah that's how I got mines too since Sprint wouldn't fix my charging port on my OG Evo, but oh well enjoying my 3D, & mine was brand new also with 1.30 hboot

Whats funny is if you head over to the evo4g forum youll see people NOT happy about this change and the fact its happening b/c the 4G got put on their EOL list so no more of them being made.
thought it was funny people over there were talking about going and getting another one just incase b/c they didn't want a 3D. lol loony
That's how I got my 3d too. I'm happy with it. I missed my og evo for a few days but after using the 3evo for awhile Im glad I got upgraded.
We're comin from a pure power source.
Aw, that sucks. We just made a claim on my wife's 4g on friday and they sent us a 4g. It would make my life substantially easier if I only had to support one type of phone instead of two.
they sent me an eve 4g on my replacement but the bottom led's didn't light up properly so i called and then they said they would send out another replacement and that was the 3d so if u want try to find something stupid to complain about thte replacement and it will give you another whirl at getting a 3d without paying another 100
Yea. Someone stole my White 4G at Albertsons. When I filed the claim I got the message that they had no White 4Gs in stock so they were substituting the Standard 3D. At first all I saw was "Standard" and was disappointed that I wasn't getting another White phone. Then I noticed the "3D" and decided I would suffer through...

Best buy gave me $230 for my OG EVO

BB wouldn't let me trade mine in because the screen is cracked (happened a couple weeks before) and Sprint offered me $60. I decided to just keep it as a back up in case something happens to this one because the crack isn't that bad...still very much usable. If I had been able to get $230 for it though, might have been a different story...

Didn't have the OG EVO, but did have the EVO 3D, and I couldn't sell that thing to save my life. I ended up just giving it to my wife. I had a desktop dock, car dock, 2 chargers, an Otterbox commuter case, a silicone case, and 3 high quality screen protectors, and was only asking $300 for it all. Had like 3 people want to trade me a PS3 for it, and that was it. Pretty upsetting.

Same boat here. I refused to sell it back to Sprint the day I bought the EVOLte and still can't seem to part ways with it. I keep telling myself I need it just in case something "goes wrong." I still use it as an alarm and occasionally to surf the web if the new phone is charging or something.
I had to break mine to get over it.
NO ONE ELSE MUST HAVE IT!
Not serious.
I thought about keeping it as a backup for a few days, but then decided to sell. I figure if I ever break or lose my LTE, a used og evo will be even cheaper down the road. Pretty happy with the $150 I got on craigslist for it.
I am actually still using mine. My contract for it doesn't come up till November. I have been here researching and waiting for info on LTE, so I can decide whether to get the new EVO, or go to another company. The only issue I have with the actual phone is the battery life. If I put this thing on Wimax(cause 3g in my area is no better than dial-up), it drains like crazy. November cannot come soon enough.
I always pass my old tech to friends or coworkers. Just seems the thing to do with it

My charger port died and I fried the microphone on my OG, so I got an extra battery and external charger and gave it to my 4 year old to play games on.
Still using it on wifi. It got so much better reception that i could set it to "sprint only" while at work. The lte roams on verizon.
Love the size of all the screen objects, text, icons, friendstream buffer and extended battery.
Think it would be easier to trash the lte yup L ess T han E qual.

I'm not sure it was a mistake.
Insurance was probably about $7 a month X at least 20 months = $140 saved. How much do you think you could have sold it for?
I think getting $230 for a two year old cdma phone would be rare.

I plan on getting the One (T-Mo) and I'm thinking of keeping my EVO. T-Mo trade in value was only $41. My daughter has a SGE4T and that was worth $50. I still like the EVO, but sprint's coverage in my area is terrible.

Keep it and use it for something else. I still have 4 (yes 4) original EVO 4g. 3 are going to my kids as media players and one I'm keeping to stream espn3, xfinity, etc to my tv.
You can probably get about 150-200 for it on ebay. I'll be selling mine in the near future.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Remember a couple things about ebay which I had to learn the hard way. First is they take 10% off the total cost plus what ever fees they charge to post the ad. Second is they make you verify your account *. Third always go with the paypal verified account**.
You'll probably sell your item if mint with good esn black 150 white 200 or more. But you may get some asshole trying to keep the cost of these up high to bid on your item for 200 dollars but then won't pay you. Happened to me and my girlfriend several times (remember it doesn't require a bank account to bid).
* When I sold one of my evo 4g ltes in a bid it got to 225 in a couple days this was when they were going for 250 minimum. Well I' not really checking on it because it's already reached a good selling price. So I go to check it a couple days later and that and another evo I got up there have been frozen. I'm like what the f#ck. I look at my email or inbox (can't remember ) I have a message to call them so I do and it turns out that sometime during the process they stopped it until I called them and entered a code. This was a week after the first evo went up.
** I had a ebay buyer change his address to something different from what was on his paypal account and then changed the ebay address back to the original and said he never received the package. Paypal sided with him. I still owe them 85 dollars.
No sure how well this copy paste is but here is the swappa pricing:
http://swappa.com/search?q=HTC+EVO+4G+LTE+(Sprint) Just to get a benchmark.
I'd say keep it as a backup phone but the value of the LTE is higher than past EVOs, it'd be smarter to sell it while the resale value is high.
