Sweet monitor!

Oh how I wish I would've ordered through Sprint. Silly me wanted to try out the HTC Arrive while I waited for the 3D and I did not return it in time to have my upgrade eligibility reset through Best Buy, thus I must wait til Friday

LOLZ! Times are tough!
testing work station monitor

CRT FTMFW!!! Care to pass off one of those 3Ds lol
I was antsy to order with everyone else but i figured i would take these 2 days to hear what the masses have to say. 5 reviewers that nit pick arent enough for me. I want to hear about little things like "light leakage" and things like that.

congrats, people (myself included) are going to start getting jealous and annoyed when we get 50+ threads like this today

I'm on my way from T-Mobile, so I'm stuck waiting till Friday ... they should of hooked up transplants too, I'm paying $175 ETF to jump ship :|

Give me one of those, and I'll give you mine on Friday. I knew I should've ordered mine yesterday, but I thought it'll take 3-5 days to ship.

Isn't Sprint offering a $150 credit to port your number? That should help with the T-Mobile ETF fee.

Congrats!

I like really like WP7 and for the most part the HTC Arrive. The things I missed about Android/my EVO were: screen/phone size, and app support for some of the apps I use quite often on Android. Other than that, WP7 is a great OS and the depth of integration is impressive. If we see retail phones running Mango that resemble the prototypes Nokia previewed, then I will likely get one if it comes to Sprint. http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/nokia-introducing-its-first-windows-phone-7-devices-october-26

My 3D stopped working!

This EVO 3D is such a POS. I was watching The Green Hornet and one of the fight screens quite literally broke the glass ending the 3D experience.

It was a simple 3 foot drop face down on kitchen tile.
I have TEP so it is another $100 and I will have a replacement. The bummer of it is Asurion is out of stock so if I'm lucky I'll have it by week's end.
Update: if I play the movie backwards the phone repairs itself and vocalizes a demonic message!
Seriously I just an email from Asurion that my replacement phone is coming tomorrow.

From my understanding the phone being so new Sprint doesn't have any refurbished units or parts to swap. Therefore I had to use the insurance.
I feel your pain bro. Drowned mine over the weekend and Asurion told me the same thing, out of stock. Luckily they found one...or two I guess, and I'll have my replacement today. Get a hard case! I'm going to invest in some Ziplok baggies myself...

Did you check with a store? My wife had scratches on her evo 4g screen that we showed sprint....(this was like 8 months old) and we asked if there was anything that could be done......they said they couldn't repair it....a few weeks later a brand new evo showed up in the mail to replace hers. No insurance needed. I was surprised myself because we did not demand it or get upset, but it does say they the repair center is supposed to be able to fix damaged phones....might want to check just to make sure....You may still get charged....but its worth the shot.

Maybe next time I am already getting my replacement today and the $100 has been already paid.
Since this would be considered physical damage he took the correct step and contacted asurion. I highly doubt a sprint repair center would fix it.

I'd love to start modding. Watching all the Dev talk in the Dev section makes me wish, I could help. I don't know where to begin honestly.
I'm on an Epic 4G now, but I think I'm going to grab a Epic 4G Touch - I believe the screen alone is drool worthy.

Lol, if I could I would. I'm probably going to add a line seeing as I'm used to have a backup line & phone so I switch this Epic to the new line and vice versa. I checked ET4G development, seems pretty decent.

It's probably a bit late for you, but I have kept my last non-smart phone in "mothballs" (eg, with the battery removed) as an emergency backup, until I could get another smartphone. On Verizon, a user can switch phones 24/7 by just registering the phone OTA (the previous ESN is replaced).
I've only needed to do this once, but it at least keeps my phone # active.

Hopefully not too well.
Digitzers (the glass over the LCD) are usually pretty easy to replace. I have a Motorola Atrix and I have replaced mine twice.
We have several phone lying about that I can let you have for shipping costs.
Not smart phones but it would be free.
We have:
katana eclipse X - black
Katana dlx - champagne
lg rumor - white
lg pm225 red/silver
I could let you have my POS Transform. It's my current phone so I might need $10 or $20 to help with the upgrade, but it beats $100
I know, the options are underwhelming and impossible to choose from.
Yowser...you broke it good!! How'd you manage that?

Before this gets out of hand, cause I know it will, I have created this thread to keep down all of the threads that will be started because people are moving to new phones this summer. So, that being said, say your goodbyes here.
Update: It's May 24th, and folks are receiving their new phones today. Maybe get a sticky for this?
Wowww thanks for this haha I was gonna make one like this! But yeah this will probably be one of my last posts in this section It's been a fun 7 months
This is a good idea.
I said goodbye to sprint temporarily (vm fw) , and not too long ago I said goodbye to one of my lines because of too much roaming data.
Are you saying goodbye?
I think it's for the people moving to the Evo 4G lte
Or any other phone/carrier

I'm due for an upgrade on the 1st of June. I might wait a couple weeks, get into a Sprint store and play around with the phone a little, before I decide to spend the money. But it'll be soon if I do, cause the longer I wait, the less valuable my EVO 3D is.

That last sentence is true. I haven't even looked around yet, I just got this 3d about 4 months ago. Sold my og on Craigslist for 170 and found this on eBay for 200.
Does the LTE have a non removable battery, I'm not diggin' that for a couple of reasons.

Yeah, non-removable. It apparently is a deal-breaker for many, but I don't care. It's a new phone.
As of this coming Friday, I will be saying my goodbyes. Kinda. I'll still have my 3D for a while. At least until I get the VM Virus off and can sell it.

I'll see you over in the LTEvo threads when I get there.
I know it will be a while before lte gets to my area... but when it does, I will say goodbye just in time for a cheap price on the SGS3.
Thanks for this thread. I will actually be staying until a more worthwhile phone is released. The 3vo runs like a dream on ICS. Plus, I'd like to wait until LTE is actually available before getting a new phone. I think by the end of the year something new will be announced, or I'll get the 4g LTE cheap

harsh bro....harsh.
although i gotta say. development for the 3vo is non-existent compared to the HD2. But i love it. i'll keep it til early 2013. If i buy a new phone before then, i'll keep the 3vo to play around with development-wise.
That's one reason why i bought the 3VO is because it was only 269€ so it won't be AS DIFFICULT to convince the wife that i need a new one when the time comes

It's the biggest happening scam on paypal, and paypal still doesn't listen the seller. They listen to the buyer only.

I had an ad up for some blackberrys on CL. This weekend i got a guy who spoke poor english (possibly nigerian) and asked to meet.
So i drove to my office and after waiting an hour he showed up.
He called me from the parking lot asking me to come out, i said no you come in. He said no bring to my car, I said No you come in, this is an office building and this is a work transaction. He said he didnt trust me. I said no problem. My lobby has cameras and if you want to buy my devices ill be waiting inside..
Yup scammers..

This worked to get me a Note2 Upgrade!!

Wanted to share this with folks, as I know a lot of you would like an early upgrade to the Note 2.
First, we are a business customer; that is my wife works for a large corporation that allows us some nice discounts on our service. We have 3 phone lines in our family, so we are not that big of a account personally..
I called CS today, and asked about an early upgrade. We are only in month 10 of our agreement, so I didn't think I had much chance. The first guy I spoke to was trying to get me to change my plan, and add a line, and do all other stuff, so he could "justify" upgrading me for $299.
I told him no, I didn't want to add a line, or do anything silly like that, and asked to speak to retention.
After being transferred, I politely told the gentleman that I wanted a $199 upgrade to a Note 2; I mentioned that Sprint and T-Mobile had promos for that price, and, I could sell our 3 phones on ebay, and make more than enough to pay the cancellation fees, but, I wasn't threatening to leave, nor did I want to leave, nor did I want 3 upgrades; just one for me.
He came back and said he could do the upgrade for 299, plus he would give me a 30 dollar credit for the next 6 months, effectively making the price 119!! (299-180=119).
I asked him to waive the activation fee, and he said he would give me another 36 dollar credit to take care of that, and, also, throw in 2 day shipping for free!
So, I should have my phone by Friday, and am excited to move to the note 2, especially at THAT price!!
My point is, it appears that now that Xmas has passed, they are more receptive to doing early upgrades for those of us that don't really qualify; also, being very polite, and nice to the agent probably helped me as well!
Thanks to all the great friends, dev's, and mods that I have made in this thread, and, a lot of you have already moved to the Note 2, and I am sure a lot more of you will be there soon as well. Hopefully, you can be as successful as I was in getting an early upgrade if that is what you so desire...See you on the other side soon!!
:good::good:
Sniff.....(wipes eyes)
There goes another satisfied customer....
Pretty soon...It'll be me, and the moderator.....(echo)...LOL....g
I know you will be over there soon too, man..
Not me, I figured how to get multi view and the fancy camera feature About Face. I'm set.

I would hold out for world peace as my condition for happiness.
One phone feature isn't enough for me.
I've also got multi window... Lol. Gotta love being xposed
I would love to try this but with note 3 talk already out maybe I should wait.
Yes it will be a long wait but.....

I really like the notepad feature. I can write easily, but the unit lacks portability.

I LOVE that 2 tone look....acoustic modems FTW!!
Its true that there will always be a next big thing. The flashaholic in me wants a note 2 but att extended my upgrade time to 1 1/2 yrs when I upgraded to the note and I didn't upgrade early. So wait until Oct or pay full price. I'm sure they would be happy to let me pay full (overpriced) retail.

I count on the prices on Craigslist to drop. I have never used my upgrade, because I never want a contract.

Do tell!! I've been looking for a ROM with this capability for a while now. Still haven't found a solution.

Sorry, buddy, I was just pulling a few legs. Its sort of an inside joke around here because there has been almost 15 threads started about this. Now you're inside.

Have you guys not tried xposed frameworks and the multi window apk? Works on stock tw based ROMs.
