I've moved on from T-Mobile to Sprint.
I got the Evo 3d. I have never ordered a phone this way. Usually its only through carrier or in store.
But I figured Id try wirefly.
No deposit.
Went well.
But I have silly worries because im anticipating this phone so much.
Anyone that has used them before?

I've used them a couple of times, and had no problems. Nothing to worry about. I decided to go the Radio Shack route, but that's because I want to make sure I have it at 9am when they open.
just wished you'd of posted that you were looking to get the phone before jumping on wirefly tho

They have a pretty good reseller rating over the last 6 months, but it looks like their customer service is crap.
I had a problem getting my HTC Hero from them (although it was back in '09?). I called, answered all information (literally took like 2 hours), and the sales rep continued to try to sell me accessories even though I had said no countless times. Then, the next day, they tell me to email them my SSN for security because Sprint rejected the upgrade or something. I cancelled and ordered straight from Sprint.

They said ill have it the 24th. I hope that's right. Anyone ever pre order from them?
Did you get the phone on release day?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I ordered my wife's Epic from them for $149.99 ($100 less then the Sprint stores launch price) and was very happy with the customer service and fast delivery time. Although as someone above stated they did try to push accessories and insurance on me, no big deal, I just turned them down.
I ordered my EVO 3D from them about two weeks ago for $149.99 with no shipping or tax (of which Sprint charges the full retail price of the phone for), so that was a huge savings. I was concerned about shipping times but after a recent call to them I was told it would be shipped on the release date of the 24th, and I should have it in 2 business days.
I will let you know how it went after I get my phone, but right now I feel pretty comfortable buying from Wirefly.
Don't know if anyone saw, but the "HTC Store" is taking pre-orders too.
http://shopamerica.htc.com/cell-phones/productdetail.htm?prId=39065
I just noticed it today. I was hoping to find accessories, but stumbled upon this instead.
So this is what I found out about wirefly. They were great. Great service. But one thing. I was robbed of my shipping fee.
How you say?
I paid 7.99 for 2day buisness. A couple different reps told me the phone should arrive friday.
It will not be here till Monday. Fedex is taking its sweet time.
It makes no since to pay that damn 2buisness day if you know damn well you wont make release.
I mean unless wirefly had it to me on friday. they should have told me it would make no difference with how they ship and saved me the 7.99.
Yes 179 is nice for the phone. But you add 8 bucks and 188. Or 199 and have it friday.
So in my view if you are intrested in which way to go. Just go to sprint. Or a walk in dealer.

Just found the Photon for $99 on the Best Buy website! Go get $100 back if you bought one from Best Buy recently!

Anybody know if Sprint will pricematch this? I just bought a Photon last week.
this is only with a new two year contract...
i tried to use an upgrade and get it but they wouldnt let me..
I just got my $100 back from Best Buy. I usually buy my phones from a cooperate store, but I was feeling adventurous this time. I guess for once it paid off for me! Usually it's the other way around.
I bought mine at the corporate store just a week ago I hope I don't have to cancel

BB website has the Photon for $99 with 2-Yr upgrade. Just got back from BB with another $105 in my pocket. After getting $135 trade-in for my Evo 4g, I made money on the deal. For that, no way I'm going to wait for Galaxy S2. Besides, I love the Photon!!

This is true. Radioshack, amazon, bestbuy will sell for 99 ONLY if it is a new contract. I couldnt upgrade for 99.

Flat Wrong... I just got the Photon for $99 on the bestbuy website (http://goo.gl/fc02Q) for extending my daughter's contract. She was due for an upgrade. Kept the same plan and options, no changes. Select the phone and it gives you a popup that ask if you're a new or current customer...just follow the prompts.
I also just picked up a MoPho from BestBuy today for $99 on an upgrade.
Just got my wife a photon in store can i get 100 back? What would I need to do? Thanks

Well I hate to get rid of my photon but saving 100 is quite appealing.
My wife has an upgrade on her line... I was going to go use her upgrade... I then deactivate right when I left the store then activate it on my line.
Then go take this one back to the sprint store.
Seems like a lot of work for 100... Hmmmm

Glad it's helping! I couldn't get my $100 back (yet) cause they said I was 2 days too late on my 30 day policy, but I'm sickin my Fiancee on em tomorrow! Sick balls, chopper!
Pew! Pew! Pew! From my Mo-Pho!
Just got a refund from Best Buy. Took my receipt to the customer service counter, said that I saw the phone for $100 less, and asked if I could get the difference back. She refunded the $100 no questions asked.
My original purchase was an upgrade, not a new contract.
I ordered mine through my Customer Care rep about a week ago. I called her back this morning to see what she could do and she said that I would need to return the one I have to a store or she could send me a return envelope. I was hoping they could just price match a credit for me. Oh well.
Now my worry is...my current phone is working great. I will prbly go return this one and stop by Best Buy and get one that's bunked.
Worth a $100 risk though.
I just bought my Photon at Best Buy as an upgrade and got it for $99 and they also gave me a free Zagg Invisible Shield screen protector. I saw the stock of phones in their closet and they all (the Photons) had Zagg boxes rubber-banded to the Photon boxes so anyone buying a Photon from Best Buy gets the phone for $99 and a free screen protector. They even had them pre-installed on the phones and when they saw that there was a hair under my screen protector they pulled it off and re-applied a brand new shield.
I traded in my Evo for $126 (just gave them the phone and the box; no cable, charger or memory card) so the Photon cost me nothing and I have $19 left on my Best Buy card after tax.

Returning my photon to the Sprint store today and picking one up from Best Buy.
Looks like the price is being changed in stores today so it should be very easy to get that 100 back from bestbuy. They were changing out the price when I was there. What a great deal. I just came back to the photon after my little expo with the NExus S. Glad to be back. I can finally retire my Evo now.
Just got my order number to get my new replacement evo. The csr told me that the defective unit has to be received by Sprint within 35 days or a maximum non-return fee of $350 will be charged to my account. Has anyone ever not returned their phone? Any negative side effects of not returning a phone that retails for $550 when it can be sold for more than the non-return fee of $350?

My guess would be that once you activate the replacement the ESN of the other phone would be flagged as bad if not returned. I could be wrong.....but so is this idea.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, this is a bad idea! I was just wondering if anyone had done this before.
Well seeing how you paid 200 the 350 charged to your account would mean you paid 550 for the phone as long as you paid it I would think the esn would be good lol
I think as long as you pay the $350 the ESN should be fine.
When my OG evo broke i got a replacement phone and my phone was due back on a certain date. i forgot the date but lets just say it was due oct 20th. i didnt send my phone back for like 2 months lol. they kept sending me letters and calling me. 3 months in i called them and was like i dont have a shipping label can i get one? they sent me one and extended my return date even more. i sent it in once i got the label.
Maybe I'm missing the point but if its defective why would you want to keep it?!?

I won't say it's perfect, but it works as it should. The camera button is very loose.
And also, if I have 2 evo LTE's that I paid $550 for (including $350 non-return fee and $199.99 cost of the phone), that would mean I have one Evo remaining, and therefore would not lose any money.
Just a thought. Thanks for the input guys.
So you did a claim cause of a loose camera button. But you're willing to keep it and sell it as in good working order.
Like I said its a OCD defective.
I tried doing that with my mogul they charged me took me 2 months to get the refund. If they did it back in 2007 chances are they'll do it now. Don't test your luck

I call shenanigans!
I have an Evo with a loose screen in the lower left corner. After about 2 hours of being disconnected, reconnected, and transfered I was told I have 14 days from date of receiving the phone to return it. If I would like to get another Evo sent as a replacement, I need to give them a credit card # for $549 and they'll send me my new phone! Then credit my bill 2-3 cycles from now!
You believe that crap?
So, after we laughed at that ridiculous statement she told me, she made an E-Ticket for me that dates today. So I can wait for the release date and get a NEW replacement from the store. She couldn't believe it either.
So, if anyone needs a replacement phone before the launch date, good luck! It's a complete nightmare.

Refuse tech support and refuse taking it into a service center. Find a hardware defect. As the last resort say either send a replacement or you want to return the phone for a full refund and your upgrade reinstated. I did not have to say this last part but it would have been next.

I got my replacement ordered through escalations today too. Said I should get it in 2-5 days (we'll see about that) and that I have 35 some odd days to return the defective unit.
So after getting my screen replaced and the store borked my camera and couldn't fix it they ordered me a replacement phone. I got it yesterday and 2 of the softkeys don't light up. So I call sprint to let them know so they can send another phone and they tell me i have to go to a repair store first so the store can order the phone. I told them i shouldn't need to take my own time and gas to go to a store because they sent me a defective phone. The rep agreed and is trying to get approval to send me a phone. Am I right or should I just go to a store? Has any one else had this problem?

Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
It's a pain in the ass, however that's their policy. From their perspective, they would be wasting money if they just sent out phones to people without actually looking at them first to verify the problem. I went through the same thing with my original Evo, had 7 replacements, all had some sort of problem, and every one I had to take into the store so they could look at it.
This is why i buy from best buy. Anything is messed up, break it. $10 a month, unlimited replacements. Got my replacement in 3 days. No questions asked, took 10 minutes to get the replacement process going.
I guess ill go to a store tomorrow. I understand wanting to verify the defect but its still b.s. Defective refurbished phone right out of the box shouldn't be my problem. That's why I hate refurbs. Oh yea, and the lady I talked to today said ' let's go ahead and do a factory reset'. I told her that its always the first thing I do when I open a new phone, and this is a hardware issue not software. It made me chuckle a little.

I ordered a replacement because I have dust under the screen and the digitizer was acting up. Received a refurb in a day. Back cover was messed up, one of the lights was dim and didn't have a power button. Called Sprint and told them that I was sending it back, they said they would send another one out but expect to wait 1-2 weeks. That was 2 1/2 weeks ago. Honestly, when/if I get it, I'll probably just send it back. Have heard anything good about refurbs. Guess I can live with a little dust under my screen.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
Good day, the issue isn't with the refurbs per se. I got a 3D on launch day, 2 months later had to replace it and am still on the "refurb" Sprint sent. It has to do with the original issue, based on this is what gets refurb'ed, new housing and on its way. After a POST (power on self test). The service & repair locations are limited to what can be done. I'm a repair technician and do anything but repair most of the time. We're no longer allowed to solder anything, parts allocation is horrendous and to top things off we have at best 2 hours to try to duplicate the issue. Sorry for venting guys, I hear this all day, every day. I didn't refurb it myself and if it left our doors I have to disassemble and inspect, also there's 3-6 phones queued up. Most stores have 3 techs to cover a 7day work week and indirect dealers (I work for one) have only 1, working open to close 6 days a week.
Had to get my first refurbished replacement a couple weeks ago. It was garbage. Kept freezing and restarting. Did several factory resets from bootloader, and it didn't fix it. Asked for another one. Got it in the mail, ordered my EVO 4G LTE, and now my refurbished EVO 3D is on Craigslist. I'm done with it.
I'm close to that point too.

Same here. I canceled insurance long ago. Had to have my original EVO replaced once due to bad usb port. $35 and I was on my way. The only phone I ever had to replace on a constant basis was the touch pro..that thing was ****. That was the last phone I insured.

You're not alone. Sprint only offers refurbished EVO3Ds as replacements. I've gone through probably 7 or 8 phones already, and all of them have had issues.
My current phone has a big blue patch on the screen, it's missing the rubber gasket around the screen, and the aluminum frame around the screen is bent.
I'm overseas right now, so I can't get a replacement, but I definitely will when I'm back in the states. I'm kind of hoping I can get another phone, since I've only had bad luck with the EVO 3d, it seems. I emailed the technician at my local Sprint store, and as of right now, it seems you can only get an EVO3D as a replacement for an EVO3D.
I just got a new phone from sprint today after the one they had send me had hardware issues and a blue spot in my screen.

My wife's Evo 3D wouldn't charge up (broken prong). The sprint store ordered her a brand new Evo 3D (same ugly purple one as her original). It arrived within a week and no issues with it at all. Not sure why some get refurbs, some get new ones, and others get different phones instead.

That would make sense. Our case, it was a manufacturer's defect so insurance (asurion) was not invloved. Guess we got lucky
I guess I will stick out my light screen bleeding... If only they replaced it with an LTE
I tried to get sprint to replace my phone when the whole left edge bent off. they told me i would have to pay 100 for a replacement if I had the insurance. I thought the whole reason to pay for the insurance is that if the phone broke you got a free replacement. Im glad i didnt pay for the insurance and I walked out of the store with a case
Out of curiosity why are people even carrying insurance on these phones anyways? Can one just find a good used replacement on ebay or craigslist for about the same price as the deductible?

I'm on phone number 4 as well, holding out for the new S3 if possible or it might be phone 4 due to a crappy usb port.
Phone #1 kept randomly rebooting, then after a reboot it decided to never connect to the Sprint network again.
Phone #2 had some visible junk behind the screen.
Phone #3 decided it wanted to commit suicide while I was watching Netflix, it made a loud beeping noise and would never come back on.
Phone #4 Capacitive light buttons are dimmed and since flashing cm9 they won't even come on. The usb port is getting loose and I have to charge my phone at an angle (awesome).
I know this really isn't HTC's fault due to Ausrion (sp) phones but going through 4 phones is kind of pushing me away from HTC. Waiting for S3 reviews to decide on that or the 4G LTE.
Already said screw it and picked up my LTE

Well looks like phone number 5 coming monday or tuesday. #4 just quit on me today, turned the phone off today because I had so training and when I got finished, turned the phone on and the screen won't come on......yay!
Took it to the coperate store, they looked at it and said we will get you another one (refurb). Does anyone know if the refurbs are from Sprint, Asurion, or HTC? If these are HTC refurbs this is quite dissapointing. On a positive note, while waiting at the store they had two very lovely women working there, one Cuban and one Puerto Rican,

I've been notified that Asurion will be sending me an ET4G as well since they dont have any more evo 3ds. Did they send u a new one? The phone has been out for almost a year now so im thinking it will be a refurb. Hopefully its in good condition.

While I was waiting there was an older guy there and he was flirting with the Cuban female and we talked for a while. He apparently flirts with her a lot and told me she was Cuban nd he said you owe me some red beans and rice and plantains lol. I had spoken to the other female and she told me she was Puerto Rican, they both make me wonder why I got married. :crying:
