I was on the phone off and on for several days with Sprint pleading my case on why they should let me upgrade to the Evo 3d for only $50. I kinda got my way. I've attached the conversation thread so that maybe some verbiage in it can help those that are in the same boat being tossed around by Sprint.

Ok, so I added my mom and transformed my single line 69.99 plan into a 129.99 Family Plan on May 9. I got her one of them Sanyo Vero phones (shes 65 and just want to make/receive calls). I currently have my Evo 4G, and I am fairly interested on one of those Evo 3D phones. So I am thinking that if the Evo 3D comes out before the 8th (and thus on my 30 day- return window for my mom's phone), can I go to the store and switch the Vero for an Evo 3D, and then switch the Evo 3D's number to my phone and the old Evo to my moms phone number?
I did bought my moms phone in Radio Shack, so if this is even possible, can I go to that same Radio Shack and do this or do I have to go to the Sprint store?

Im kinda confused about what you are exactly asking but
I take it you just bought your moms phone and are now wanting to return it within the 30 days for a evo 3d then switch the numbers from your evo to ur moms vero aka that u switched for the evo 3d
Well im from kentucky and last year i was wondering something like this i bought the hero and evo from the radio shack
Your answer: yes you have 30 days to return the phone vero that u bought and you can get the evo 3d you would just have to pay the price difference if there is one
Then when you get home just call 1800 sprint customer service and tell them you wanna switch numbers because your mom likes the evo better and u like the evo 3d better and they can just swap the numbers right over
Ps sorry for so much writing

Thats EXACTLY what I wanted to know! Sounds like my way to getting an Evo 3D got way cheaper than my other option (which was to buy it full price!)

You don't even need to call Sprint to change the numbers on the phone. You can go online to Sprint.com and just do it yourself once you have the phone you want.

Hi, I just got an EVO 4G about three weeks ago. I didnt know about the EVO 3D so now I want that instead. I was wondering where would be the best place to buy the EVO 3D for me?
I am within my 30 days so I can return my EVO and get my $200 back and then be eligible for an upgrade price for the EVO. Has the EVO 3D contract price been confirmed to be $199?
Would I be better off returning my EVO and getting upgrade price or selling my Evo to someone and paying full price for the Evo 3D?
Also where is the best place to buy to 3D?
Im just looking for the best way to save to most money.
Return it and wait for the 3d it is confirmed at 199.99 go preorder at radio shack
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Any particular reason for radioshack? I was going to go to bestbuy.
Also do we know the off the contract price for the 3D?
As long as you have another sprint phone to activate return the evo 4g and wait for the 3d. Dual core, higher res screen, much better gpu are things you want especially at the same price you paid for your evo.
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.

is this something i can do w/my evo? also do i pay sprint to do this?
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.
So I had my EVO 4G rooted it and had many hours of fun lolol but then I bought a 3D from my friend for $10 yes that's right $10 Brand new so excited I stupidly sold my EVO 4G.
I then came to this side of the site to root my 3D and found out about the HBOOT 1.50 sigh I wish I could root my phone but I don't trust HTC DEV cause if my phone was to have issues I don't want sprint to not fix or replace it.
Has anyone ever went back to sprint with the relocked watermark and got help with your phone?
I miss having a rooted phone this sucks I'm almost tempted to sell this phone and find one with a previous version of Hboot.

For $10 I'd do whatever the hell I wanted to with that bad boy. Root away.
Go ahead and root. They honestly don't care unless its a software problem. Software problems can be fixed by root so you're covered.

I'll give you back the $10 plus my rooted Shift for the 3D

I think I might just go ahead and do it... I don't know why i'm scared about running in to issues with the phone my 4G never had anything wrong with it
Bought one, ~$240, rooted it, done... not looking back...
So far there's been no brickage I have not been able to conquer, do not worry about it - just keep a PC86IMG somewhere on the SD card so you can restore to stock and keep the S=ON instructions somewhere.
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...
