Basically they are selling iphones way more than any other phone so I am sure some of their inventory is starting to collect dust.

They're selling a lot of iPhones, but they are having lots of issues with them too, or so I'm told by Sprint techs in Atlanta. I got my 3D for $50 at launch, so.....

Well this way doesn't involve trading in an EVO 4G.
That 50$ offer is really making me ponder upgrading from my Hero, but can't decide if I want to wait for the GSII Epic Touch to drop in price instead.
Wow supersale.imagine when it first came out.its expensive,they made lots of money like 6months ago.LOL

I have a hero right now, upgrading as soon as I can get the login info for the family account.
Just took advantage of this deal. Hard to beat. Hope the 3D is as good as the hero was. We shall see when it arrives.

I got my 3d for free technically. My local Walmart has it for 98 bucks and at the time (i think theyre still doing this) they are giving 100 dollar gift cards to anyone that gets a smartphone... So basically they paid me 2 bucks to take it off their hands. Being that this is my second one i was scared itd be hboot 1.5 but apparently back home no one buys sprint phones because coverage is spotty at best..... So i ended up getting it with hboot 1.3
And to they guy debating on epic touch or 3d... Id recommend the 3d if you like custom roms. There are a lot more options with roms, kernels, and overclocking with the 3d. I had it and wasnt overly impressed except for the gorgeous display. Damn i love those amoleds.

That is probably exactly why my brother just picked up a 3D for $49.99 from the Sprint Corporate strore here with hboot 1.40!
yeah i had to jump on this offer also. I just couldnt let it pass, I would have kicked myself in the ass.
Don't you have to renew your contract though? I mean it's not like you can just buy the phone for that price without renewing or signing a new contract....?
So I had to do a claim because my charger port is shot and they don't have any 3Ds to send me. I went ahead and had the phone shipped because I neeeeeed my phone, but I'm pretty upset. Am I totally screwed with a pos Samsung or do I have any options ? Buying a new phone full price isn't possible right now but I am thinking about switching carriers

The E4GT is probably going for more than the 3D right now on ebay and stuff. Call Sprint retentions, have them give you an upgrade, sell your sammy and buy the evolte at $200. Make it happen

i might try this as well....$100 for that phone is a good deal...my charge port is about gone too. and i wouldnt call the sgs2 a POS phone. it was one of the best android phones out. its better than the evo3d IMO. did you do this online or did you call in?

OP, can you verify if you received a new or refurbished E4GT?
I am going to have to file a claim because I messed up my 3d pretty bad and i'm curious as to what I may be getting.
I'd like to add here if it's not too late; the Epic Touch 4G is a fantastic phone. I strongly recommend you play with it a bit before getting rid of it.

I am in the same boat as well. I've cracked my second Evo 3D within 2 months of each other. I haven't cracked any of my previous phones over the past 9 years, but I've had bad luck with my 3D lol. I am also about to drop Sprint for Verizon due to coverage at and near my house, basically non-existant. I moved from Hawaii to DC because of being Military and where I am at now sucks big time. I've been here for a while and have tried the airwave thing, but my area sucks in general. I have a Verizon blackberry for work and it always has reception where my Evo and Evo3D does not. Also, has anyone else had this happen to them?

Alright guys. Just for ****s and giggles I went on phoneclaim.com and filed a claim. Didn't follow through all the way but they said I would get an evo3dpur purple as my replacement and it was on back order and could take up to 3 days to get it. I never knew it came in purple and I wonder what OS it would come with.

Same here. Mine since monday. Wont get one until next week on Wednesday
At Besy buy today, and see you get $50 off bringing it to $150, then he says trade in the evo 3d and get $100 more off. So im asking a stupid question and should know the answer but want to ask people that have the phone already. Would I be crazy to pass this phone up for $50?
That is a really good deal. If you liked your Evo 3D you will hopefully love this phone!
I would say GO FOR IT but I am a little biased as an existing owner
definitely.. night and day between those two phones. (I owned a evo 3d too)

Im gunna throw the orginal sprint RUU on there and take it in and trade it, he said I didnt need to lock it so I think thats pretty fair. Now If I can get this rom to dlownload quicker we will be in good shape lol
Being a evo 3d owner and og evo I defenetrly think is a step up, specially when it comes to camera, screen, battery and software

In all seriousness, getting the phone for $50 is a pretty good deal. I'd say it's worth it.

It's worth more at BB if you have the Buy Back program. They gave me $350 for my Epic Touch. If u dont have Buy Back I think that is accurate. Radio Shack gives even less. You can/should definitely get more for it elsewhere like Craigslist. But it is a major step up from the 3D in every aspect. Only thing it lacks is removable battery but the battery life so far has been awesome!

I came from an EVO 3D, and I couldn't be any happier. This phone is legit, for sure.
I traded in my original EVO 4G and with other rebates I ended up only using the $50 gift card I originally preordered with.

I'd have it already if Sprint would hurry up and reset my upgrade date.
So for you master Sprint guru's out there, how could I go about getting rid of my black EVO 4G LTE (I'm just gonna call it the E4L from now on) to get the white one. I am a second line on the account and don't have insurance on my phone. Is there a way that I could get insurance on my black E4L and then, :crying::crying: break it? :crying::crying: Take it in and ask if they could give me a white one? I would probably have to sign up for the insurance at one then replace it at another so they didn't expect anything. The question after giving you some back story: How could I go about getting rid of my Black E4L?
Thanks guys and feel free to answer with any other loopholes to get the white one other than just the insurance thing I said above. Again, Thanks.

Highly unlikely. There are protocols in place to keep people from doing it that way. You "might" find a manager willing to do it but most won't. There is a list of acceptable replacements for any phone covered. Currently the only listed replacement for the black one is a black one.
Not to mention the whole fraud aspect to what you suggest
You might just find someone willing to trade white for black

Sell your black one, then buy the white one. Or try to trade. Don't commit insurance fraud because you want a different color.

You could find someone on Craigslist willing to trade if they don't like it. Obviously find something in comparable shape to your black on. You could even post your own ad asking if someone is willing to trade.

I'm reading through all of these responses, and nothing besides the last response seems relevant to my original post. Best Buy offered me no upgrades or swaps or anything. They sent me over to Geek Squad whom is no in-charge of black tie protection plans. They offered me the Epic as a "loaner" phone while I waited for a replacement off back order. Everyone is talking about Sprint, etc. Sprint told me flat-out, they are not touching my phone, either Best Buy or HTC I talk to.

Had to take mine in to BB in august they were OOS and offered a GS3 or Optimus G. I chose to wait though the GS4 was out and i knew the G2 was coming soon, no sense in getting a new old phone. Upgrade in Feb so i can wait on next years crop of phones especially if we really get the update to 4.3 and sense 5 I can hold off till all the phones are announced.

I get my phones from bb and have their black tie insurance. Ive had my lte replaced 3 times for damage already at no extra charge from bb and i received them all within 3 days. I used to have the 3d which i also got replaced 3 times by them at no extra charge within 3 days each time. I got my lte because the last time i broke my 3d they were oos so instead of giving me a g2 they upgraded me at no cost and without using my upgrade. I had to get a loaner about 5 months ago from them when i needed a replacement and it was only $50, which i got back when i returned it. Dont know why the op is having so much trouble but ive had nothing but great experiences every time and have nothing but good things to say about black tie insurance.
