So when I upgraded to my 3Devo ok launch day I got my full $150 off, and I noticed the next day my account still said eligible for $150 off new phone. Figured it was just playing catch up, but today I looked and its still there! I guess come september I will be dual wielding my 3vo and my GS2

Don't fret on it, it will disappear. If it doesnt than good for you
Get a Nexus Prime or a Newer Tablet. Pointless to get a GS2.
If you're going to milk the double dip, go big.

+1. You should use your upgrade on a phone that isn't slight better (or worse) than the EVO 3D. I know I would wait for the prime or possibly the quadcore phones of next year , if that's the way android is going lol. But you can do whatever you want with your upgrade.
I got a nexus s 4G again, but I gave to my wife, I had for like a month lol here is my old topic

You do know if your getting a new line you will get that discount anyway as a new 2 year agreement will be signed.

I was a brand new customer in Feb. I got the white og evo. First time I logged in it told me I was upgrade eligible.
I figured they would catch it but they never did. When the 3d came out I figured id better snatch it up just in case they did eventually figure it out.
I wanted to try to hold off for the nexus prime, but figured I better jump on the 3d rather than possibly nothing. Then I sold my og on Ebay for 235 since it was rooted. Took my extra cash and got an otter box.
The guy @ my sprint store said he sees people who got lucky like that more often than you'd think.

Yes it is and stupid Motorola has locked bootloaders good I hate that so much
Sent using XDA premium app
I hope to be boarding that train soon as well. Will never own a Motorola phone again.
i'll be heading to the S3 soon as well! no moto support and locked bootloaders = unhappy camper.
I've kind of shifted into "a phone is a phone" mode. No compelling differentiation anymore for me with all the tech advances - I don't want a larger screen and don't need a faster CPU or more memory. But having said that, I'll probably upgrade next year to either Samsung or HTC. Moto's "lock it down hard for corporate IT departments" doesn't work for me as a consumer.
You can take my photon when you pry it from my cold dead hands... Or when the note 2 drops.

Same here. Done with Motorola
If you are ditching the Photon then send me a PM, I'd be willing to buy your old one. This phone is a beast and I expect it will be running Jelly Bean by Christmas. =)
IMO, this is still the best phone Sprint has to offer.

Are you kidding
You cannot expect such a huge update from Motorola ...
I've been using Moto Phones since last 10 years...
They'll never make their customers happy ... you'll have to give up...
The day when Motorola will understand that how to provide proper support to the customers, i bet no other company will survive in the market. Not even iphone... but all these companies know Motorola guys have no common sense ...

Official jellybean will not come before christmas as official ICS isnt even scheduled till Q4. My thoughts are that if they do not release official ics for the atrix, they will 'not' release it for the photon. If they do release it, however, then yes we will have fully working jb by christmas. But not officially from moto.
"Say Apple one more MoPho'n time..."
Well they did promise most Android Motorola phones released in 2011 will be getting Jellybean before the end of the year and if not will be receiving a 100 dollors towards an upgrade, to Motorola of course. They are Google owned now, it's not entirely impossible ...

Of course, you'd expect phones to start to phase out after year or so. Let's be honest, the photon was never as popular as the OG evo or the incredible.

On another note, when the One was unveiled, a red version was accidentally leaked online, I wonder if the red version is bound for Verizon.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
So in the next 2 weeks? Call me skeptical... to say the least. Also if that's the case then I probably wont be getting the One because I'm 6 months out for an upgrade. Guess I'll get whatever's after the One.
I am leaning more toward that the one will replace the dna in wal mart stores due to space constraints, but vzw, amazon, etc will probably continue to sell it
That is disappointing but alright at the same time.
All it has over the DNA ( most likely ) is the camera and development crowd from being global.
Oops :silly: almost forgot storage
Lmao....my luck. Just got the DNA three weeks ago.

And just like that the HTC DROID DNA IS EOL
iSheep... iSheep... Meowww that's Apple VZW GSIII
I saw this coming a mile away and people hated on me like no tomorrow. The first minute we heard about the One, I said that the DNA would be dead to HTC and Verizon. They were just too similar and it was obvious the One improved on some of the cons of the DNA. It was almost like "oops, we made some mistakes on the DNA, so here is our real flagship now".
With that being said, I just got a DNA again last week and am enjoying it. But let me be straight....If the rumors are true and Verizon is getting the One or even their own variant of it, I will buy it on launch day without even thinking twice.
Must be nice to be able to afford multiple phone purchases within a month. It amazes me how people buy new phones every other month. I don't see how people don't lose tons of money on doing that...

I actually made $50 to get the DNA last week lol. I traded someone my Note 2 and he gave me $50 for me to take the DNA off his hands.
When and if the One becomes available or gets announced officially, I will sell my DNA for $400-450 and either get the One for a couple hundred more off contract or use another one of my upgrades.
I usually never come out of pocket more than $100-200 to get a brand new phone. You just gotta work it and don't let your devices get too outdated. I absolutely love getting and flipping devices for a new one withing 6 months to a year. It's fun and actually doesn't really cost much. Especially compared to other hobbies which can cost much more.
I hear ya...my wife thinks I'm crazy for wanting a new phone already.

Oh my god. I'm just sitting here and hoping what is assumed will become true! (This stuff is always a hit or miss )
Pretty glad things came up and I didn't upgrade to the DNA 3 days ago, that would've hit the regrets pretty hard (not that I don't like the DNA; but I do have a preference for the One and there seems to be issue with rooting the DNA with the OTA. I was really wanting to install sense 5 on it)
I've been sitting on the verge of my upgrade, contract ending on the 22nd. Will probably pick up the 32GB variant, going to assume the phone will be good enough for me as is without root.

Dude, you don't even know lol. I'm not married (yet), but my girlfriend just laughs now and calls me crazy. I have literally been through about 5 devices in the past 6 months.
I went from my S3 to a HTC 8X Windows Phone (I had to try it lol) to a DNA to a Note 2 and back to a DNA. Not to mention shortly before that I had a Droid Razr Maxx.
I'm a phone whore and I happily admit it!
You guys are kind of jumping the gun. Walmart choosing not to carry both phones doesn't mean the DNA is EOL or that other resellers will follow in their footsteps. So VZW may kill the DNA in favor of the One but they haven't even officially announced their carrying the One yet. And a "Droid" branded device helps shore up a brand they've spent a ton of money building so there's room for both if they see fit.
Regardless.. Eol or not, I'm not bailing on the DNA, knowing that a newer better phone cycles out all the time... No real reason at the moment.. I'll wait to see what's up next
DROID DNA 5
Yea most definitely. However, if I could go back three weeks I would have waited for this. I had the PUK lock issue today for first time...all Verizon store did is reissue me new SIM again...maybe if the issue happens again (which it will) they will give me a One...
This just in, pigs are flying.

Motorola is screwed. They have such a bad reputation for customers besides Verizon customers. The biggest mistake that Motorola has made in the past few years was focus too much on making Verizon exclusive phones and ignored the other 3 carriers. I simply dont trust Motorola to do anything right unless they stop focusing on Verizon so much.
The Photon Q 4G LTE should have received Jelly Bean by now and there is no end in sight on when that will be available. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Motorola suddenly updated their webpage to say that the Photon Q 4G LTE phone will remain on Ice Cream Sandwich. Motorola would need to prove to me in the next 3 years that they provide constant Android updates in a timely manner as in beating out Samsung to the punch on new Android releases and actually deliver on those promises instead of just making empty promises and cancelling them at the end.

Motorola has dropped the bomb on us all. Though Google now owns Motorola mobility which is their phone division. HTC is good, Samsung has done better recently also. Since the new Motorola phone bought through Google is unlocked and everything when they decide to do it. Is supposed to be almost complete stock.
I am waiting to see what Google Motorola has in store.

I've had guys ask me to help them setup their DNA and I had taken them under my wing to teach them more advanced things with previous devices.
They got some AMAZING deals on DNAs through eBay and craigslist. So there are deals to be had if you can wait on one of those perfect deals.
One of them bought a Verizon presidents cabinet employee edition for about half what s regular device usually goes for.

I just a week ago purchased a Droid DNA from craigslist for $150!! Brand new in box never opened it was a insanely awesome deal.To be honest I hate it coming from a nexus 4 HTC sense feels way to lagged down for me. If anybody is interested I am planning on selling it listing it on swappa but if anybody is interested in here could work out something. Much rather have this phone go back into the android community rather than selling it to somebody in Asia who is just going to resell it for a higher proffit.
