I need to start hearing some possible options since it looks like next month will be the release date.
I joined Sprint last year when the Evo released.
What would you guys do if you wanted the EVO 3D?
Thanks
Did you check your upgrade eligibility on https://manage.sprintpcs.com/specialoffers/RebateWelcome.do
Like you, I joined sprint last year on the launch day of the EVO4G at the $69.99 plan. This site says I am eligible for a full upgrade for the phone on my account. Interestingly enough it says at the bottom this program ends June 4th.

i have the same thing. I got the evo 4g at launch. up until april 1st the system said that I had a $150 credit avalible june 1st 2011. now it says I have a $75 credit june 1st and a full credit 4-1-12! All I did was call sprint telesales (they are the only ones that can do this) I very polity asked if I could have my upgrade back because I would like to get the evo 3D. they put me on hold, when they came back they said that I could get my upgrade back and that I needed to call on june first because that is when my account resets. She also said that she was making notes in my account to make this easy when I called back. i asked her to send me an email confirming this conversation. I got a email that had her specialist id# team name and date (dont think i need it but
I have had problem with sprint in the past)
So basically if you have a $75 credit right now you can call sprint telesales (888-253-1315) and ask for your $150 credit back. Mentioning the evo 3d may or may not help, but the rep did talk about the evo 3d for a second with me when I noted I wanted to get one.
Just got my upgrade back to $150..telesales didn't help me they routed my call to account services...all I did was act dumb about not knowing about the premier changes. I told him I had a full upgrade in March and all of a sudden my full upgrade was gone...so he went through all the details about the changes...and then reset my account thus giving me back my full upgrade oh yeah and made sure I got a email of the conversation

If I wanted it? I do. It will release next month. I will be absolutely flabbergasted if it doesn't come out on June 3rd (also my birthday). That would be a deviation from their tradition of releasing phones on fridays, big-deal phones on the first friday of june and also neglect to honor the Evo4G's anniversary(ish)...
The Evo really was a big deal for Sprint, just as the Evo3D is....does anyone remember Sprint's phone selection prior to the Evo4G? Quirky at best for dumbphones, random (crap) at best for smartphones....the hero or the moment or a BB....ick....and the hero--while a great phone--was a fluke.
So what am I doing? I will be trading in my Evo4G for $180 at Radioshack, I called Sprint and got my upgrade turned back into full (from $75) and I reserved a phone at Radioshack...so I will most likely be walking into Radioshack at 5am on June 3rd and likely walking out at 5:30am on with $25 in my left hand and the best smartphone to date in my right hand--as I was told (when I posed this exact question) by the RS sales rep who agreed, whose manager agreed and whose district manager agreed that they would all be shocked if it didn't come out on June 3rd....none of us know better, it just fits a pattern...and for the Evo a new tradition.
That's what I'd do.
if ur like me, i need an upgrade every yr
all u have to do is stick with a plan tht is $89.99 and up to become a gold member and receive a yrly upgrade. Next yr the Evo 3D will be a dinosaur and so I rather be a gold member than have to upgrade evey 2 yrs. I lost my upgrade in feb with the new changes but got it back cuz they made a mistake and put me as a silver member. I've been on the everything plan for months and tht qualifies me to be a gold member. i since changed my plan to the everything data 900 $89.99...if i go any less than tht then i'll be a silver member again! no waaaay!
before the evo phone came out, The touch pro 2 was a great phone but wasnt an android phone but the screen was big.

If you plan on upgrading every year then it should pay to go with the higher plan as it should run less then purchasing a new phone at full retail once a year.
Luckily I have been with Sprint over 10 years so I qualify for gold otherwise I would never be able to convince my wife to spend more money on our cell phone bill.
Being able to deal with Sprint for over 10 years, I totally feel like I deserve the yearly upgrade! I have been on the phone for countless number of hours over the years with some of the worst customer service on the planet and had some of the most stressful phone calls with them.
As a long time customer, I must say they customer service has improved more then words can describe from where it was back in the day......
I'm new to Sprint.. Got the original EVO on launch and was wondering, what if I canceled my account, pay the ETF, and open another account?
You guys are having a lot of luck resetting your credit to $150. I spoke to supervisors and a whole slew of reps without any luck.
I'm am going to do this:

Etf is only $120, I'll open a new acct, switch numbers, then cancel the old one and sell my evo 4g. In the end, it might turn out to be a free phone.

A simpler thing to do would just add a new line then cancel the old one. Why go through to trouble of opening a whole new account.
Wouldn't it be much easier/cheaper to sell our Evos on Ebay for around $250 then buy the Evo 3D from Sprint for $425 (Assuming the Evo 3D is $500 minus the $75 rebate)? This all varies depending on the price of the Evo 3D and how much you can sell your Evo in Ebay.

I totally agree.
I've been with them for 9 1/2 years, Oct 15 is my 10yr anniversary. I contacted [email protected] and they're supposed to be calling me back Monday. I'm going to see if they can change my upgrade back to 6/1 which is what it was before the premier policy change.

Just checked that page and same thing.
It says June 1st $75 and 4/1/12 $150.
I am a little confused though. I am one year into my 2 year commitment. If i were to use this "upgrade" from Sprint, Would I be adding 2 years making it a 3 year commitment.
Not sure I want to to commit that long. Any idea what the outright price of the phone will be? Noticed you could also trade in my Evo for $150 account credit.

The upgrade pricing is for signing a new 2yr contract which takes the place of your current contract so you would be on a new 2yr contract, not 3yr.
They have a bunch of different options when signing a new contract like if are premier silver and only a year into your contract you can sign a new 1yr and get $25 off a new phone, or a new 2 yr and get $75 off a new phone (which you will be eligible for on 6/1). After your contract expires (4/1/2012) and you are eligible for a full upgrade you can get $75 off with a new 1yr and $150 off with a new 2yr contract.
The problem is that new phones have discounts and rebates which you're only eligible for with a full upgrade. As with the EVO the phone was $550 I believe w/ $100 mail-in-rebate, $150 upgrade, and it's $200 purchase price that comes to $450. The other $100 was an instant rebate that sprint gives you and I'm almost positive that you only get that rebate with the full upgrade price. I'm even pretty sure you're not eligible for the mail-in-rebate so the difference between the 1yr and 2yr upgrades is really about $275 rather than just the difference between $75 and $150. Someone correct me if I am wrong but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

You would get the EVO 3d for the discounted price on the new line.
Now what can I do I have had the Evo since October and my upgrade was supposed to be this year but got it anyways the whole first month I exchanged it, all different problems. 3 times and now I have a white Evo with the same dust problems and light leak and a few dings on the top right any suggestions?
Sprint is starting to piss me off, they're trying to screw me out of my yearly upgrade and talking to customer service is a complete waste of time. Now I'm trying to post a question to sprints message board and this is the second night in a row it has gone down for maintenance at the very moment I try to post my question.... and now it's back up five minutes later.
Google 'customer service hall of shame' and you'll see Sprint's been number one for three or four years now.

just had to get that off my chest
Wirefly:
I just spoke with "aaron" of wirefly via online chat.
Apparently they will not be receiving phones until the 26th. meaning you can expect shipments to go out on the 26th AT THE EARLIEST. The later in line you are, the higher the chances you may get delayed even more.
1-Day shipping means the 27th at the earliest, so no time to play with it on the weekend...
Since going with wirefly does save me $70, tax, plus friends and family store, I'll be anxiously waiting, but this does suck
Amazon:
Their website states estimated delivery date of July 1st with 2-day shipping as well!
.
If you go through wirefly friends and family its 150 not sure of the downside though

Unfortunately, since i save on tax (almost 10%), and it's $20 cheaper than RS or Sprint, coupled with the extra $25 off through fatwallet, I can't say that 3 days is worth $70, but this really annoys me.

I dont know how to get any of these HELP!!!
1. go here: http://www.fatwallet.com/Wirefly-coupons/ for the click-through. it gives you $25 cash back for ordering any phone on wirefly.
2. to get friends and family price (which is $149.99) google wirefly friends and family.
3. if you have Bank of America, go here: https://additup.bankofamerica.com , and then access wirefly, and you get $50 in your BofA account.
But, all these options do not allow you to have your phone on the 24th.
I don't think you can take the word from 1 chat representative and say it's delayed. I called and asked and they said it would ship on the 24th. Now I'm regretting putting $50 down at Radioshack. I may get it from wirefly friends and family for $150 and then get $50 to spend at Radioshack on accessories and what not...

I hope you're right. I also pre-ordered at radioshack, but I figure, if I pick up the phone for $150, i save taxes and basically got the gift card for free... if my 3D is delayed too far out (very possible since i just purchased this morning depending on their stock and looking at amazon's status), i'll just pick it up from radio shack. I'll talk to another wirefly rep in a bit and see if i get the same answer.
I just placed my order through Amazon and it told me my estimated ship date was June 24th and delivery being the 28th

I went with The Shack. Wirefly has some ridiculous policy that if you swap phone numbers on the 3D they charge you like 300 dollars. My wife has a full upgrade, mine isnt up until July so I'm getting the 3D on her upgrade then giving her my Evo. She can't wait to get rid of her Pre, and I'll still be sitting on a full upgrade for the next best phone when July rolls around.

I've been hearling a little bit about that $300 charge. Is that for as long as you have the phone, or not?
Second question, are you guys saying that I can use the family & friends discount with the fatwallet discount and pay only like $125 for my EVO?
Ugh....i need to sell me evos quickly and pre-order!

Cheaper is nice, waiting sucks.. I have zero patience haha... and I can't wait for some EVO 4Gs to pop up online on the cheap, I like to have a backup phone.

Not sure how I can get one... I've been with Sprint less than a year, I believe my wife and I got our EVOs in September... I'm Silver Premier automatically through my employer. Is there any way for me to get a discounted EVO 3D or am I looking at $599?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
You can trade your EVO in to Sprint or Target and get $150 off ($449)
Or i have 1 on Marketplace on here for $450 which ill have in hand tomorrow ordered 4 keeping 3 selling 1.
sell ur evos on CL, use that to knock off some of the retail price, may save about 50%+

I've been with Sprint since September and I'm getting mine on Friday for the discounted price. I called the retention line (posted in another thread) and asked them to do a manual override on my upgrade.
I also received a $70 credit on my account for renewing my contract.

20 bucks over 24 months is $480 bucks, plus $199 = 680 Don't be silly. You may not even be able to transfer your phone number.

+1 to this method. I called 877-775-4886 (Account Services I think) and I just asked them to reset my eligibility. There was no hold time, the CSR was very friendly, and the end result is 30 minutes later I was eligible for the 2 year upgrade promo. I was already over the 1 year upgrade eligibility, but I have seen others post that they will reset your upgrade even before the first year, so it's worth a shot. Just call them and politely ask them to reset your upgrade eligibility so you can get the Evo 3D for $199. Also mention that you want to sign a new 2 year contract extension (you are going to have to do it anyways if you buy with an upgrade promo).

Well, I failed... She said if I was at least a year into my contract... I could have maybe gotten something, but because I'm not a year into my contract until August that there wasn't much she could do... Very, very nice though...
Oh well...
We have 2 EVOs since August and wanted to upgrade to 1 EVO 3D...
She spoke to supervisor as well, and at the end even offered to let me speak to the supervisor but I just gave up...
BTW: I am Premier Silver due to the association of Sprint with my work...
I just got my upgrade reset..........I was 9 days away from a year upgrade 75.00.
Sprint gave me the full upgrade. 199.00 evo3d here i come
Congrats... I'm sure if I was 9 days, I would have had a chance, but 2 months was a no-go at least according to the rep I talked to and her supervisor...
What did you guy's end up paying for your Evo 3D?
I got roped into a 2 year contract and had to pay the same $199.99 like anyone off the street would pay. And they basically told me that the $150 Silver Premier upgrade credit I had waiting for me didn't apply.
I feel as though I have been ripped off.
The way the math seemed correct in my head was this:
2 year contract price: $199.99 (was not in a contract before)
SP Upgrade Credit: $150.00
------------------------------------------
Cost out of pocket: $50.00
Seeing as I started this account with my own Evo 4G that I already owned outright, I think Sprint got one over on me.

Regular price for this phone is $549 (probably similar to what you paid when you bought your evo outright if you bought it from a retail store and not used from ebay/craigslist). The $199 price is the price AFTER your $150 credit and other discounts.
I bought my 3d from wirefly for $149 no tax. I got a $25 rebate for using the wirefly link on fatwallet.com. I then got a $75 credit on my sprint bill by calling in and renewing contract. Lastly, I sold my old evo4g for $185. So total price was:
$149-$25-$75-$185= I got paid $136 to upgrade to the evo3d (sprint waived the $18 activation fee also.)
I did the 99 dollar trade in deal through radio shack I had to give them my old EVO but I'm happy with this new phone.

I also ordered through wirefly for that price. Don't they automatically extend your contract when you order the phone? What was the activation process like when you received it?

So when you receive your phone there is this hugh warning saying "READ ACTIVATION PROCEDURE BEFORE ACTIVATING PHONE". So i read the procedure and they tell you to call this wirefly number. I did that and all they told me was to turn on my new phone and follow the information on the screen..(why were they neccessary). I left my old phone off while I did that. The process took less than 10 minutes I beleive
And yes they automatically renew your contract for two years. I called in to get the $75 credit since my contract was going to be extended two years anyway
Pre ordered mine from Radio Shack ...

That's exactly the same deal I got for my evo3d.- the otterbox case. Brought the htc rubber case instead.
Sam's Club
$174.88 @Sam's came to like $190 with tax plan to trade in old Evo for $150
I wish I could get "roped" into a 2 year contract...
I have no discounts available, except what they would give me for a trade in on my evo. so $549-??? = way too much for a phone
I would take definitely take it for $199 signing a new 2 year agreement

2 year contract price: $199.99 (was not in a contract before)
SP Upgrade Credit: $150.00
------------------------------------------
Cost out of pocket: $50.00
Seeing as I started this account with my own Evo 4G that I already owned outright, I think Sprint got one over on me.

knlmwq explained it properly you got the right price from sprint although you could have gotten the phone cheaper elsewhere. Your best bet is sell your Evo 4G back to Sprint through their buyback program: h**ps://secure2.sprintbuyback.com/consumer
They should give you $150 for your old phone. Good luck.

I wish I could get "roped" into a 2 year contract...
I have no discounts available, except what they would give me for a trade in on my evo. so $549-??? = way too much for a phone
I would take definitely take it for $199 signing a new 2 year agreement

I was expecting to take a hit because Best Buy and Target (and even the Sprint online page) told me I'm only "early upgrade" eligible which means only $75 off because I got my Evo 4G this time last year... but I ended up getting both myself and my wife an Evo 3D for FREE! I initially posted this here but it was moved out of this forum (to my objection). Here's how my wife and I got free Evo 3D's, and a bunch of Sprint deals I didn't know about where Sprint may actually PAY YOU to take an Evo 3D:

So as I understand it, you prepaid $50 for a gift card, which was then applied to the cost of the phone when you picked it up, which means you put a $50 down payment on the phone and still paid $90 out of pocket. According to your own post.
199(phone cost) -150(traded in Evo) -50(pre order gift card That you paid for out of pocket) + 15(otterbox Impact case) + 25(invisible shield screen protector) = $40 Out Of Pocket!!!
I paid $216.98 after taxes with 2 yr upgrade status. I was only only 8 Months into my 2 year contract and was expecting to buy the phone at full price. I was greatly surprised 2 days before releasing how my problems with my Samsung Epic would relate on me getting a new phone at 2yr upgrade price. I can say that my bank account and saving was very happy to keep its $300. I could have kissed the lady from Sprint through the phone.
Paid $179.99 two year contract
I paid $179.99 two year contract here.
I have a pending order with Wirefly.
I placed the order on 11/15.
Anyone who placed an order with Wirefly gotten an email confirmation?
Thanks.
Cancelled my Wirefly Order
I cancelled my order with Wirefly and just decided to p/u directly from the VZW store. Wirefly, when I called them to inquire on my order, they had me on hold for approximately 20 minutes. Then when someone finally picked up, the representative stated they have no ETA as to when the DNA would arrive in their warehouse for shipment but they would "upgrade" me to overnight once they receive the device. I went and picked mine up from the VZW store last Wednesday and have been enjoying it since. It's up to you but for the extra $50 you cldve been had your device duke. Just a thought ya know
I also cancelled my Wirefly order. When it had not shipped by release day I cancelled and ordered through VZW. Just got mine today. Damn holidays and weekend pushed out my shipping. All good now. Never go near wirefly again
My order just shipped.
I am going through wirefly because they also have another $50 cashback with my credit card.
I had them upgrade my shipping to Next Day air as well.
Either way thanks for the response.

I was wondering what day you ordered your DNA?
I ordered thru Wirefly once. Worst experience ever! Ordered an Evo LTE and a gnex
They billed me twice and there were a hundred other problems over the 2wk period. Also, if you change your phone plan, or lose or deactivate your device within the first 180 days, you owe them around 400$ penalty. I cancelled the order for one of the devices.
hurled from my AOKP'd Evo LTE. Enjoy.
I ordered 2 on the 17th one shipped today should get it tomorrow, the other says awaiting inventory
Edit: have you been on there website to make sure Verizon approved it?
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium

Iv never run into any issues activating the phone on different line, but thats just my experience

the only thing to worry about is if you do something to that line that effects wirefly's commision. If they don't get paid by verizon, they will get paid by you.

yea but iv done this my thunderbolt and gnex, i'll report back when i get the phone and activate.
Edit: Received shipping confirmation today 11/27/12, delivery should be tomorrow 11/28/12
What is deactivate?
Anyone know if I order this on a new line on a current Share Everything and then deactivate a different line which is not under any contract will cause problems? Will Verizon "report to Wirefly" that I deactivated? Will Wirefly charge me?
Transferred my upgrade to my sister's line and activated it on my line, retained my unlimited!
I'll see if wirefly contact me but it should be fine.
no issues activating, just inserted the sim from my gnex into the DNA and it worked.
