Hi everyone. I currently have an HTC EVO 4G and I am in the middle of a two-year contract. I really want the HTC EVO 3D though. Am I able to trade in my EVO 4G and get the EVO 3D for $100 or do I have to pay the full price?
Text 'upgrade' to 1311.
I did that but it said that I couldn't upgrade till may 1st 2012. is there any way at all that I can buy the htc evo 3d?
Just sell yout evo on craigslist and make more money that way than get the evo 3d

I'd love to do that but if I'm still in the middle of my two-year contract, aren't I not allowed to do it?

Sure you can sell it. You could sell it and then activate a cheap $20 Sprint phone on your account if you wanted to. Just sell the Evo, and put it towards the cost of the 3d. Or you could get in touch with Sprint's customer retention and see if they'd be able to push your full $150 upgrade through for ya. They did for me, as I was also in the middle of my 2 year contract. They pushed the 150 upgrade for me, and I was able to get the Evo 3d for 199. Good luck.
Just go to a 3rd party Sprint store and ask the guy to back date your contract, that's what I do and I get upgrades whenever I want
I was in your position, I bought out of my contract for $75 so I could buy @ full upgrade pricing, gave my EVO 4G to Sprint for $150 through the buyback program & bought the 3D for $199. All billed to my Sprint account.

Seriously? Have you even looked at any of the suggestions? Who the f*** knows how much you will end up paying, or receiving.
We have no idea. Full price of the EVO 3D $549.99, price w/2yr upgrade $199.99. Price you receive from selling your current phone (?). Read the previous posts, use the info contained within, call Sprint. Help us to help you.
Do a little reading, try and help yourself, at least a little bit. Here's a link to my post about 3 posts back, read the links and you will find your answers.

Now that the evo 4g is eol, are they tep replacing it with the EVO 3d?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I highly doubt it, EOL simply means that they won't be sold at stores any longer, but they probably have plenty of refurbs available for insurance replacements
Actually i do believe its possible. Its an option now, my mom just did it with her 4g. I really just comes down to getting a nice sprint rep, and/or one that owes you a hookup.
It depends on how many refurbs are available. If there are none it's a roll of the dice. Could be the 3D, The Epic 4G or Nexus S... Hell even an GS2 or a Shift.
It's a weird and random process that can be unpredictable.

Same thing happened to the Evo 4g when all the new products started rolling out. With the addition of new LTE devices it was only a matter of time before the 3d became a free phone for 2 years of service. I still love the 3d though, came from the 4g as an insurance replacement and it's still going strong. All I need is a fully functional ICS rom and I will be ok until July when I am up for an upgrade.
I got mine free about two months ago. Bestbuy was giving people who upgrade $50 towards their new phone. The phone was on sale for $50, making it free. I called sprint while driving there and said i was upgrading to the s2, but i said i could barely afford it and was asking for some help. They gave me an extra $25 credit and waived the activation fee

I am sticking to my EVO 3D. It's a solid piece of hardware, no need to change it. Don't see the point. Will consider moving on when One X drops to a reasonable price.
Still don't know is this a good or bad thing...
Just hope it will make it a bit more popular.

You do know that WIMAX towers aren't just gonna be shut down and done away with. Anyone who were to buy a WIMAX phone tomorrow, would still have WIMAX 2 years from now.

If they have Wimax. I have had two 4G phones that have never seen it. I'll wait till I get LTE before I get a LTE phone.

True but wimax isn't expanding and will eventually be shut down. Wait a few months and get an lte device is what's best for me especially since lte will be in my area eventually hopefully by the end of year. Wimax isn't in my area and never will be.

Well the Evo 3D dropped in price in most countries. Even though its an better smartphone then HTC Sensation, its cheaper now to then the HTC Sensation. The Evo 3D which was first more expensive is now kinda cheap for an smart phone off its specifications.
I see many off you just get the phone with an contract, just like many in The Netherlands do.
Well, I hate to say it but the 3d was indeed a flop (in the business sense) , especially in contrast to the 4g which was an astounding success. The 3d should have been marketed as being sleek and fast but was instead marketed only as being 3d capable which to most consumers.....just didn't fly. After all, whether you like 3d capabilities or not, it's still just a gimmick that didn't take off.

I bet if the HTC Evo 3D was cheaper then the HTC Sensation then many would have just chosen for the HTC Evo 3D.
Now many needed choose between HTC Sensation which was cheaper and HTC Evo 3D and then they needed choose between 1080p 2D video with HTC Sensation or 720P both in 2D and 3D with HTC Evo 3D.
I guess price the Evo 3D got now it should start selling better.
I'm VERY glad that it failed to advertise as 3D feature and not it's Specs, thanks to that i've got my EVO just for 250euros, gsm unlocked. One of the best phones atm on the market, unless buying ONE X instead , no other phone is worth changing for Evo.
When i check differences in EVO and Sensation for example, my face goes like :
EVO 3D , 250euros, dual core 1.2 ,
Sensation XE Beats, 500 euros, dual core 1.5
Sensation XL beats, 530euros, single core 1.5,
Looks like its all about advertise and looks even in current century, 90% of customers never look at Specs or even understand what anything means.
God bless American education and fastfood.
All of Sprint's phones are free on Amazon except the iphone4
I imagine Sprint wants to EOL as many Wimax phones as possible. While they will still support Wimax for a while after their initial LTE rollout, they don't want to be adding to the people who use Wimax; they want to save those people for LTE. Sprint is in a bad place right now, and they need as much money as they can get. Moving out older devices and focusing on newer, more powerful, LTE devices is the way for them to gain what they need.
All contract phones I have ever owned have been free, I guess it's different in the US?

In the Netherlands you can also still get ''free'' phones, only in past you could get an high end device like HTC Desire HD with a contract where you pay in 2 years about € 600.
But that you can forget now, it will atleast cost you 900 euro and you get an contract where you first get an period discount and after that you need pay much more.
So I believe buying your phone without contract can be cheaper.

My feelings exactly. I bought my OG EVO 4G from some guy and got an EVO 3D on an insurance claim (I accidentally wiped the WiMax keys, and I wanted an EVO 3D anyway). I've still got my original upgrade credit from when I signed up. I'll wait until HTC releases LTE phones before I use my credit. I love my EVO 3D, but WiMax is not in my area. LTE will probably be coming to my area eventually, so why not upgrade to an LTE phone as soon as I have a chance?

I find it sad that HTC is giving up on 3d. Yes it was a toy, but one I paid for. They never really got behind the phone. They had that one terrible bubble 3d movie, but that was it. I thought we would at least see a 3d gallery.
Heck we are not even going to see the full blown HTC evo lte. Where is our new quad processor, that our oversees HTC brothers and sisters are getting?
There was never even any 4G in my city (one of the largest in South Florida) and I'm sure we are 2-3 years from lte ever being turned on. So thanks sprint and HTC. What a bad partnership it turned out to be for me.

Lol I am in TN and don't have 4G never have.. So I have the same feeling about LTE and that 10 dollar fee thing is kinda a joke.. Would be nice if Sprint would let us trade in our phones and get a sweet deal on a LTE one since our phones will be outta date soon .. Kinda bummer too all the folks who jumped into another 2 years and will be stuck with a older phone if no one knew that LTE was coming .. Lol.
Along with HTC ICS for the 3D will probably never see any more updates since they are coming out with that new Evo phone.. My guess is the 3D will be dropped on the **** list lol. Seen 3 new LTE phones on Sprints site for pre order.. Anyway's I will be stickin with the 3D for another year But hopefully things will still be poppin over in the threads

Would be nice if they gave us a sweet trade in deal since they kinda swapped around on the contract with LTE and dropping support on the older ones.. Kinda sucks since we can't sell our phones to make some profit to buy something new .. Due to LTE ...
I guess you and I will be stickin to the threads for awhile lol
When LTE comes out (either frequency), don't expect the 4G on your WiMAX phones not to work. Sprint plans on keeping WiMAX around (except no more new phones) for legacy phones still running the technology. For a good bit of time at least, until a majority moves to LTE.

That's what I read.. But unless someone wants older software and what not think the lot of us that are still in contract will be stuck with em
to be honest both the evo 3d and sensation have enoumous potential that is yet to be unleashed. with the ice cream sandwhich update the sensation is about 50% faster especially gpu performance. the evo 3d and sensation however were fails for htc and it is evident as they are really cheap to buy now whether outright or plan.

well dan hasse said someone that that 10 fee was premium data free, knowing that our fones use up more data and if that fee wasn't instituted that we probably would be on a tier data plan now. as for the wimax it will be up thru 2015. It does suck, as Detroit only has 4g downtown, like 4sq miles or less lolz. But how many of us actually bought the fone thinking that wimax was the future or did we just want the new next hyped fone, that had 3d and good specs. Their not gonna do a trade in thing cuz there will always be a new big fone.... I really feel more sorry for ppl that got this fone thinking they will qualify for gold membership and have an upgrade every year, though I've heard many ppl argue just that and actually get a upgrade back... soo yawl can try that...

Well, I am gonna nab the new evo for sure! Coming from an Evo 3d, that was a pain for devs to root, the new one will be much easier to work with.
As far as LTE, I'm not holding my breath... in Vegas I can't even find a date for launch. I'm guessing late 2013? Also, they call the $10 fee a smartphone fee now. Go figure?
