I was happy until they lied to me about having to give back my current device. I gave in and gave them my s3. I'm happier with the n3 anyway.

I upgraded with the one up program last night. The first sprint store i went to said that i needed to give my s3 back but the 2nd sprint store didnt say anything...
You only have to give back your phone I believe if you are still under a contract. I was not under a contract any more but traded my phone in under their buy back program because it's always a hassle to try to sell them on eBay and Craigslist.

I did too. I should have put a junky old phone I had on the line and then upgraded because they would have taken that phone instread of the Windows.phone. good reminder to anyone with a spare old phone doesn't seem like sprint cares what phone you trade as long as.it is active on your accout.

I was under contract on both my lines (note 2 and s3). Had 11 months to go on one line, 8 months to go on the other. Esn swapped those lines to an evo 3d and a photon, went to the store an hour later, and did one up for 2 note 3s. Note 2 currently on craigslist, s3 will be once I replace the screen this weekend. Woot!
I also went with the One Up program since my normal upgrade wasn't available until 1-1-14. Very nice having to only pay $49 for the GN3!! Also I did NOT have to give them any device to start the One Up program! Not sure if it was because the device active on my line wasn't the device I bought at upgrade price which locked me into the 2 year contract, or what it was. I kept getting mixed answers whenever I asked a Sprint rep, either by 611 or at a local store. When a 611 rep told me I didn't have to give them my current device, I asked her to put a note on my account stating that I didn't have to just in case my local store told me I would have to on launch day.
$0 down was an amazing deal for those of us who took advantage of that offer while it was available!! Sprint is no longer doing $0 for the One Up program, and didn't really even advertise that they were doing $0 down! Just glad that I got in on that awesome deal!

I love my phone and want to buy another one for a spare.
I have an upgrade available but don't want to use it, I would rather just buy a phone outright.
What is the best deal anybody has found to buy a brand new Rezound outright??
Amazon.

Right, but I was kinda hoping to find it somewhere for under $600........
No one in their right mind would sell a new rezound outright/without contract/upgrade for much cheaper than that.

Well no. Sometimes ebay sellers have a "surplus" of new phones and try to clear them out at a high-midrange price before the demand goes down. If it were me, I'd go the ebay route. If there's a problem with it, ebay guarantees returns and all that. I never buy directly from a person without a middleman.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
I bought my Rezound new, sealed in the box from a Verizon employee who won it at work in a contest. They already had one and needed some cash.
I paid $200.00 cash for it (after ESN was verified, etc.)
Might be the BEST 200 bucks I have ever spent.
So back to the question, watch Craigslist and have the seller meet you at at VZW store to verify the ESN. You might not find NIB, but you should be able to get a good used one for a very reasonable price.
What he said. ^^^^

I have to agree with chef Thomas I've bought a whole lot of phones on eBay brand new, around a lil over 400 sounds right for that market.
I'd go that route or craigslist local. Sometimes there's similar deals in your local area and you can do the deal in person just get the ESN ahead of time, and check it then and also check it at time of purchase.
There's a tool for that by the way I don't have a link handy but can send you one.
If you buy a phone from.an individual make sure when you send them the money it clearly states it's a purchase of a phone, because you can dispute the payment and get your money back but if its marked as a gift your stuck like chuck, it used to be that way at least.

I paid $350 for a mint condition rezound on eBay about 3 months ago. It also came with an extended battery and a car dock. I feel like it was a fair deal.

I'm guessing you are under contract so if rezound was on the acct the esn will be blocked until you pay the etf.

Yes I just ported my number to Google Voice and waiting for that to go through to automatically cancel my contract. I am going to pay Verizon what they need right after the number is ported. That's why I was waiting to post the sale on swappa. I wanted to make sure all was set with Verizon first.

I've noticed the DNA is only $150 at Newegg, Radioshack, and even more websites. They all have the same interface and seem to be going through wirefly (I think). Newegg promised 1 day shipping, but all of them also said "ships when available". Still a good deal though, if you aren't in a hurry.

There are radio buttons on the right for more options. The price is the same for upgrading
If you order using wirefly use coupon code WIREFLYBLUE83 to get free Bluetooth headsets for however many phones you purchase at that time. There cheap $20 ones but hell there free, I think it's the renegade mini if anyone was curious.

How many people actually have asurion and have used them?. I am wondering if there is maybe a catch since they will send a new device for only 100 if a claim is submitted. Or is it better and cheaper just to get a good case and if there is a problem just change the part yourself.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
asurion is the worst company I have ever been associated with. there are endless stories of people who have been screwed by them. if you want insurance through Verizon they have some other companies you just have to ask. I think GWG is the one I switched, hell of a lot better. I pay roughly the same per year (difference is with asurion you can pay monthly) but you get 2 claims a year and they're actually new phones.
I'm really not one of those people that hates corporations etc. but asurion is at the top of my "evil company" list.

Best buy black tie FTW!! NO deductible.
I have had to use assurion before with sprint, went through 4 devices since I kept getting bad refurbs. But they payed for all shipping and all over nighted to me.
My current Note 2 is a replacement from Asurion. I got burned after buying a note 2 from someone I didnt know, after less than 12 hours of having the second hand phone, the touchscreen began to wig out even when I set it down. It was so bad that the phone was pretty much unusable. Luckily I had made a couple phone calls within the time of having it in a functional state and my records showed that it was my most current phone and Asurion replaced it as promised and on time. It was my second replacement within the time limit so I was cut off after that, but I am happy nonetheless. That was about four-ish months ago, and the phone has been perfect since.

Hello,
I've had the MOST DIFFICULT time locating this phone. No one has them except Corporate Sprint (and Verizon) stores, at least in my area. It seems that Best Buy decided this is a phone they will NOT stock in stores...ever. I have called and visited over 5 Best Buy or Best Buy Mobile stores. None of them have it, and none were able to order it. I ordered it from BestBuy.com on release day, with a promised delivery by Monday, November 18. Well, I got an e-mail basically saying it was out of stock, and they expect to receive and ship orders within 30 days. I called Best Buy Mobile and spoke with a representative, who transferred me to a manger to find out more. The manager then called HTC for availability information, but HTC said "You need to call Best Buy." So then I called HTC and spoke with a representative, who transferred me to a manger. They called Best Buy to find out more information, and Best Buy said "You need to call HTC." PATHETIC. Between the two companies, SOMEBODY has to know when these phones will be in stock. And if they knew they didn't have any to begin with, they should have listed "backordered" on the website, and not "Add to cart."
Then today I called Wirefly.com and placed an order with them, and after giving all my information and going through all the steps with the representative, it turns out they, too are out of stock!! I opted for expedited shipping, in hopes to get it before Thanksgiving. But Wirefly.com says they "expect" to have more info on availability within 72 hours, but I don't trust them at all.
What is going on!? Is it just me, or is this the worst HTC product lunch ever!? I've heard (rumor) that they are trying to pull a card from Apple's deck, and create a false sense of demand. I'm a fan, and I've upgraded to a new HTC phone every year for the past 7 years, but I'm no idiot. I know HTC has neither the popularity nor the market share of Apple or Samsung. Not even close. So why is this phone so hard to acquire? For now, I'm going to leave both my BestBuy.com and Wirefly.com orders pending until one of them ships and they confirm it by sending a tracking number, then I'll cancel the other.
Side Note: For those wondering "Why don't you just buy it from the Sprint store?" I want to buy it from Best Buy because they have it for $250, plus they will give me a $50 gift card for upgrading through them, so that results in $200. Also, I like the advantages of the My BestBuy program. Wirefly had them for $200, which I would have been okay with getting it there. Sprint is asking $250, and they seem unwilling to match any of the others' offers. I'm going to try a different Sprint store tomorrow, where I know one of the managers. Maybe he will be willing to match Wirefly.com's offer. I'm tempted to order from Amazon.com, but I fear I will get the same "backorder" nightmare.
Any help is appreciated...

Where did you get it?

If You like custom roms and mods no If You dont yes
Where? Sprint Store
When? The Saturday (1 or 2 days after it was released?)
How? I asked to be notified by email of when it was coming by way of the HTC One Max coming soon landing page for Sprint. They did, and the page asked if I wanted to check my upgrade eligibility, so I did, and qualified for the One Up promotion, but it involved setting up an appointment to go into a authorized store. This was on a Friday. I made the appointment for Saturday, and waited all of about 7 minutes and they started the ball rolling.

I was mostly kidding, I'm sure I will love it. It's been a long time since I've had one of the latest and greatest phones. I do love my S2 though. It's the best phone I ever had and could go all day and then some on the extended battery. Should show up on my doorstep tomorrow!
So I had seen this Cyber-Monday deal earlier in the day, but in the cart when I would add the phone for a new line of service with an existing account, I would get $169.99. So after calling the wife, and her hemming and hawing over if I should pay cash or put it on AMEX (to cover the phone), she finally agreed to let me buy it with the AMEX. I went back into the cart and added the phone again, with the same option (existing account new line of service) but the price went from 169.99 to 199.99. I contacted Amazon, they could confirm it that it was indeed at the $169.99 price on their side (with the same options) but for some reason the cart was messing up. They had me buy it at 199.99 and immediately changed the price to $169.99. That plus I had a single $25 statement credit on a $75 purchase w/AMEX for anything at Amazon during December, made it a sweet purchase at $144.99.
I got the phone on Wednesday, and I'm very glad I made the move back to Sprint. We originally had a Sero account (for my wife) that got upgraded for smartphones. Since I bought my line back to Sprint, we went with the unlimited family plan and with my organizational discount, it made the second line the same cost as the Sero plan. I'm very happy indeed.
