+1 on the BB Mobile for all 3.
Just came back from Verizon yesterday. My pocket feels extremely LIGHTER this morning
Good to be back with my Fellas here....Good times ahead boys!!!
Feels good. I came from a Touch Pro 2 (running windows and android) and my wife came from a Samsung Moment. Preordered from BB for the gift cards. Ordered on Monday, had phones on Saturday. Love this thang!
I had a friend pick mine up from Best Buy on the 25th, but haven't been able to play with it until today as I was away on vacation and got back last night. Cool thing is that they had $100 in gift cards for picking up the phone from them and I had given my friend $135 in gift cards and rewardzone certs, so I still have $35 in gift cards to spend on a case or whatever! Love the new phone, gave the OG EVO to my wife to use until she can get an upgrade.
Look forward to some killer custom roms!

With the Xoom 2 coming out around holidays the Xoom 1 should see a huge price drop. I'm going to try to score one they should be between 199.99-250.00. What made me laugh the most about black Friday is apple supposedly thinks they're actually participating by knocking off only 100 bucks off computers. I bought my MacBook pro in June for like 1400 bucks; yeah a 100 bucks off is really a deal :rolls eyes:

Wow what s sweet deal man. Congrats
Bahaha, thanks! The price was the biggest reason I chose the Photon over the EpicTouch. Coulda got the ET with a free BluRay player from BestBuy too lol, but I was like, dude I live in a trailer in the boonies with no TV so what am I gonna do with a bluray player???
I could use that signal boost everyone is bragging about too. I'm gonna save up and get the dock too.
My GF has an epic touch 4G and its trash. The radio is **** and the phone isn't that impressive. God I hate Samsung phones...
Coming from the Epic I'm inclined to agree with you. I don't think it's all bad, but the lack of Samsung support coupled with having to search for developer apps and roms to fix problems affecting basic operations is a big turndown. The only saving-grace it had over the Photon was the damn keyboard, but that didn't even hold me back anymore after I saw what un-impressive features GB brought to it. They didn't even bother fixing problems we've had since EB13 and we're on EI22 now...!
I got lucky as hell today. Went into bestbuy around noon today to pick up a nook tablet and found that $250 Asus tablet instead. Last one they had and it was buried under a couple nooks. Lol what luck. Wanted one of these for a while now
Wow, Sprint really nuked their trade-in program. I was considering buying an EVO 4G LTE at full price (I am not up for an upgrade yet) in exchange for trading in my EVO 3D. But they are only giving $90 for the 3D! Wow. I traded in my EVO for $200 when I got the 3D. Did they gut the program?
I also considered Radio Shack. I know that last year they were also taking $200 for the EVO. But they are only offering $13! Insane.
It's valued for $120 at radioshack

Should've bought your phone from bestbuy. They have the best buyback.
Up to 1 year you can get 40% back from price before carrier discounts (that's $280) and 30% back after one year.
So I'm planning on using my wife's upgrade on the Evo LTE which will be -$200 but then selling the phone back so I get +$280, ending up with $80 of money I can spend on whatever I want.
I basically got $80 for buying the Evo 3D...

When I traded in my OG Evo for the 3D on 7/23/2011, they were giving $150.00 since they were still selling them at the time and were going to sell for the immediate future. Since the Evo 3D is already EOL for Sprint, they really don't need them so they are priced low.
The 3Ds are still selling on Ebay for $150.00+.

$150 is probably what I got, not $200. I am just misremembering.
i can't post links yet, but check the best buy mobile phone page & look up their buy-back program. It looks like you could get around $100 from Best Buy even if you didn't buy it from them originally...

Its better to sell this phone solo than Sprint buyback.
$150 is a decent rate for a stock, great condition 3D,
+$$ with any extra hardware (SD/Cases/MHL).

Just sold my 3D for 150 and that was mint condition. Tried getting 185. People were offering like 100. Had it on craigslist and a few other places for weeks. Had one offer for 150 initially but turned down cause figured I would get more. Should have taken it and saved time. Oh well. 150 was best I could get.

2nd for buying it from Best Buy. Buyback program is quite handy for those who would upgrade often. I can get at least 150 for mine and I've had it since launch.
Feh, I don't get an upgrade until November. Might as well wait for ICS.
I think it's just this phone. It wasn't that big of a hit and the value on it isn't really good. There are Evo 4G's selling on CL around here for just as much as the 3D's are. When I sold mine I wasn't getting any offers more than like $140 or so because that's what everyone else around here was selling em for.

My contract was up April 2013, but like others I called sprint and paid $115(Which will be on next months bill) to move my upgrade date to May so I can get the phone...I didnt think it would work but it did!

I always do the same thing with every phone. I buy it brand new, then when I can get an upgrade, I sell my phone for the upgrade price of the new phone. Bam, free phones for life.
Selling it to my cousin, its in excellect condition. $150 is fair.
My buyout was more than expected ($165) so it'll be $15 once this week is out.

That's what I'm doing with mine. My EVO 4G LTE will be here tomorrow, so I'll probably post it up on Craigslist tonight. I have the following for sale in a bundle:
HTC EVO 3D (Rooted/Unrooted: Buyer's Preference)
Extra Battery
HTC Desktop Dock
iGrip Car Mount
Otterbox Commuter
Pink Sprint Silcone Case

Probably ask $300 for all of it, and see where that takes me.

And how it works? I mean, I'll upgrade, so the new EVO would be $199 right? so If i give my 3VO It would cover at least the $199?
Bought it so cheap in the UK and it seems to work so perfectly for me I don't think I'll upgrade for a phone this november when my upgrade comes around....might get another tablet
Sell It
Will sell it. Normally keep a decent phone spare in case phone is stolen/broken, but as wife just got a Galaxy Nexus replacement for her stolen Nexus S, we will keep that instead. I am hoping they come out with another 3D phone in the next couple of years as I quite like the 3D feature

I will do my best to try this out with my EVO 3D..
http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android
Worst case it goes in the drawer with the rest of my old phones. I have legacy devices all the way back to the Motorola StarTac.
It will be my new TEP or insurance policy.
The rate goes up to $132/year + tax+ $150 deductible. Or every bit of $300 if you exercise the policy.
The first year defects are covered by the manufacture.
I believe the sprint buy back on the evo 3d is $110. Not $280 stated above.
Down time is shorter to activate the 3d. I'm not sure if there is an activation charge. I guess there is.
There always seems to be tear down instructions in the sticky sections.
As usual people probably abused the system. And those of us that played by the rules get screwed.

When I got the 3D last year, I got Best buy insurance, because I got their insurance they offered me a buy back which I had to purchase. So I paid them 30 last year to buy my 3D for 280. They won't give you that much if don't have their buy back.

I really lucked out and got it for $50 the day it came out on May 24th at Best Buy. Signed up for the phone freedom $50 gift card back in Feb and got $50 off instantly . Then they had a $50 gift card promotion going on for the phone and got that instantly as well. So walked out only paying $99 but an hour late I got an email from Best Buy thanking me for buying a phone and to click the link to download my $50 gift card. Ended up printing that up and buying a Otterbox Defender case with it....but returned it a couple weeks later for the Commuter case. Still amazed at the deal i got considering i was upgrading as well.
I just checked amazon to get an upgrade on my sprint contact and I can get the note 3 for 199.99 just putting it out there in case people want to take advantage I know I am lol

I was mostly kidding, I'm sure I will love it. It's been a long time since I've had one of the latest and greatest phones. I do love my S2 though. It's the best phone I ever had and could go all day and then some on the extended battery. Should show up on my doorstep tomorrow!
So I had seen this Cyber-Monday deal earlier in the day, but in the cart when I would add the phone for a new line of service with an existing account, I would get $169.99. So after calling the wife, and her hemming and hawing over if I should pay cash or put it on AMEX (to cover the phone), she finally agreed to let me buy it with the AMEX. I went back into the cart and added the phone again, with the same option (existing account new line of service) but the price went from 169.99 to 199.99. I contacted Amazon, they could confirm it that it was indeed at the $169.99 price on their side (with the same options) but for some reason the cart was messing up. They had me buy it at 199.99 and immediately changed the price to $169.99. That plus I had a single $25 statement credit on a $75 purchase w/AMEX for anything at Amazon during December, made it a sweet purchase at $144.99.
I got the phone on Wednesday, and I'm very glad I made the move back to Sprint. We originally had a Sero account (for my wife) that got upgraded for smartphones. Since I bought my line back to Sprint, we went with the unlimited family plan and with my organizational discount, it made the second line the same cost as the Sero plan. I'm very happy indeed.
