The white Evo LTE was released a few weeks ago, but I've only seen it on Sprint's website and no where else. Is this a Sprint retail exclusive?

Got mine at a retail store. They seem to be at every one, so if your question is if it is exclusively online, the answer is no. Just call around.

I'm sorry, I meant will it be available at other retailers such as Amazon or RadioShack? Third parties are selling the phone for less than Sprint corporate so that's why I ask.
The white is exclusive to Sprint stores and its preferred retailers.
Im sure it will be for at least 60, if not 90 days.
The reason the phones are cheaper at amazon and radio shack is because you don't receive the same level of service at a Sprint store.

Any other Sprint employees trying to get an Evo 3D? I'm a B2B rep for a preferred dealer and I got the same old story they gave everyone last year with the Evo. EMPLOYEES MUST WAIT!
Anyway around this? buying the phone at full price? Just started at Sprint 2 months ago so I'm not that familiar with how this stuff works yet.

You are an employee? Radio Shack didnt ask to change you plans?
Im on SERO-P and trying to figure out where i can upgrade aside from Sprint.
I am sure if you go into the shack or BB and pay full retail for it they will not question you as to why you want to not have them activateit for you.
It's my understanding that when you call Sprint customer care to activate the phone, they wont put it on your employee plan. I'd consider paying full price but I don't want to get stuck with a $500 phone I can't use.

i'm not 100% positive but I believe they still ask you to change plans online. anyone else have more information on this? this will be my 1st upgrade on an employee plan and i'm just going off the information my co-workers have given me.

I don't know any sprint employee on the SERO plan. Not when you can be on the $20 Free & Clear 3000.
I'm on the $20 plan too.

Thought I saw something on iconnect today to the effect that employees could get the 3d on launch day.

iconnect? not sure what that is lol. like i said, im kinda new and i dont work in a retail location.
from what I remember as a Corp sprint employee, they wouldn't even activate a phone that was on the hold list, even if you bought it outright, pretty much out of luck.

would you mind checking iconnect next time you get a chance? i'd def appreciate it.
I don't think there's anyway around it.. Besides paying full retail..
As of right now, employees can get the Evo 3D on lunch day. Just keep in mind with Sprint, that is subject to change at any moment lol. This is what I got from iConnect and what upper management is saying so far.

I can confirm this, only to the point that the employee that I put my deposit down for the 3d with said he gets his on launch day, just like the rest of us.

thanks for the heads up! this looks promising.
any idea on when the sprint stores will have the demo phones on the shelves for us to actually feel and see how this 3D phone looks/works?
I mean i want this phone, but i just want to make sure......
Launch day?

Launch day for customers but employee should have the store demo sometime this week (guess), if they followed what they did for Evo than store should've had the advocate phone in store by now.

Yea that's the stock to sell to customers but they usually send them one or two ahead of time (1-2 weeks before). Although they will get they stock a few days before, they are not allow to show customer.

I have an Evo 3D on my plan right now and i bought the evo 4g lte full price.
Has anyone with an indirect sales maker plan , employee plan or third party employee plan been able to get this phone activated ?
If so i would be interested to find out how. Going through my companies rep is not possible for me at this time.
I tried online and it ask me to change my plan
i tried calling in but could not get to anyone who could do a simple ESN swap.
any suggestions.
Thank you.
Don't you have to call corporate for that?

I did it call *2 from Ur current line it will take u to employee services which they must change the 10 dollar plan which is 4g to the ten dollar one for lte

Were you able to get it on your Sero/Emp Plan? Kinda curious. It was communicated that they wouldnt allow it on 3rd party/retailer plans for the first couple weeks, I lucked out since i have a regular consumer plan so i threw that bad boy right on my account at work
Prices are dropping so soon....I wonder how much lower

I've tried. Neither Sprint or Best Buy is willing to match Amazon.com or Wirefly.com's price. Besides, Wirefly.com is out of stock, BestBuy.com is out of stock, and just a few hours ago, Amazon.com couldn't "guarantee" me that it was in stock.
That's quick.
If they had at least 4g service in my area I would have gotten one, may still if the price is right. Then flash it to another carrier, I buy Sprint phones but never use Sprint/Sprint service - 3g service for 90$/mo is an outrage and nuts for me to agree to pay.

Try "Fry's Electronics" if you have one. They Price match Amazon Directly not resellers.
Well, I finally got it. I got an e-mail from Best Buy around 10:00 am saying my phone had shipped. And by 11:30, UPS was knocking on my door. Kudos to UPS!!
Just checked the Sprint website. NOTHING about Gear S. Not even a picture. Isn't it supposed to go on sale today?
i notice that as well not even T-Mobile`s site.
I've chatted with T-Mobile reps and all say it's released on the 9th. I've never seen a product released on a Sunday, how are we supossed to buy it! I'm pretty sure my T-Mobile isnt open Sundays.
Try the t-mobile stores in the mall. Good luck!

Agreed it only showed it was coming out Nov 7th on the press release thing I see no sign of it on the website or in stores but AT&T has it in Stock on website and in store 299$ plus taxes better than 384$ Sprint wants yeah T-Mobile says Nov 9 th some stores just open late and close early on Sundays as for Verizon well that's another story
Just went to a sprint store in Brooklyn NY, they had one left. It was $384 full price but they said you still had to get a plan with it for $10 a month.

This is why I want to be at the T-mobile store when they open. I suspect they won't have that many.
And yes T-mobile stores, atleast in my area, open sundays.
