Deals

My gf wants to switch to sprint from t-mobile she likes the evo, epic, and shift. Should I get her the evo(i live my eva) or is the shift worth buying? The epic is out of the question I had it and hate touchwiz. I wish she told me she wanted to switch before radioshack turn in a working.phone and get something off deal ended. Are there another deals going on?

I'd say let her get what she wants. Go to a Sprint store where they have working display models and let her play with all 3 phones. Then she can pick which one she likes best. You say the Epic is out of the question because you don't like it, but she might like it. If she likes the big screen slab style, then the EVO is the obvious choice. If she wants a keyboard, then it's between the Shift and the Epic.
Not sure where the best deals are right now, but they definitely aren't at a Sprint store so just go there to look.

I bought Shifts for my wife and mother. It is an excellent phone and the battery life is great. It has been rooted and the process is very easy but there isn't a solid ROM or a really nice recovery available yet. There are a few good devs over there working on it though.
As far as deals go, buy online. Radioshack for example has the Shift at $99 online and $149 in store.
And yes, Samsung phones are a disgrace to Android.

strongly disagree, if i don't get another HTC it will be a Samsung. Motorola is the disgrace to Android.

Agreed, Motorola more than Samsung though.

I love my Evo, but the girl wanted something a little smaller so we went with the LG Optimus S. It's a really nice little phone that runs almost straight Android 2.2 (sprint apps) and you can pick it up for about 50 bucks.
It doesn't have a huge presence here on XDA, but over at android central they have a rather large following for customization and such.

Yea I agree lol I had the epic and didn't like it your right it's her decision she decided on the shift we got it from radioshack 105 with tax. I wondering if sprint is going to release a new android if so she might like that I'm glad they give you a month to see if you wan't to stick with the phone.

She's not a tech savy person when it comes to phones but she likes to see all the stuff that they can do she gets amazed with my evo but she doesn't like all touch but she said she'll deal with whatever i get her. I wanted to get her the shift or the evo but i just don't want to buy a epic i really don't like them but like said earlier it's her decision. I hope she's happy with her shift it should be here in two days.

Amen. I didn't mention Moto because it didn't come up in the OP.

Not sure if I should buy the Epic Touch.

I'm really on the fence when it comes to buying this. On the one hand it's seems like a really great phone with really great specs. I would be coming from the Samsung Epic.
On the other hand I'm really puzzled by how this phone is being released. Unlike the Evo,Epic and Nexus there is really a lukewarm reception as far as the retailers go. We're at launch day and places like Best buy, Radio shack are not really showing much interest.
The phone was released in Europe 10 months ago and seems like the US retailers are treating it as such. The low price $99 from Walmarts to the lackluster offerings from the retailers.
With the changes Sprint has made canceling Premier cutting the return time from 30 to 14 days and increasing the ETF. I wondering if they are just trying to get people to use their upgrade on what they consider a lesser/cheaper phone. So less people will use it on the Nexus Prime,Iphone 5.
I would really appreciate people opinions on this. I have my upgrade and cash in hand today. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I'm right there with you. I've had my upgrade for a while and have just been waiting. I am honestly now waiting for the iPhone 5 specs to be released. Depending on how it looks I will buy it or the epic touch. I still prefer android but I like trying all os's. As far as the prime goes..I don't think sprint will get it in 2011

If Sprint doesn't get the Prime this year then I'm afraid I'll have to ditch my Nexus S and get the Epic Touch. I just hope it gets Cyanogen Mod

OMG! It is hard to make decision about this E4GT, I know it has the best camera and high resolution as far as I know. I am using Photon 4G, it is great phone as well with dual networks (world phone), it is convenient when you step out from USA, you just pop in pre-paid gsm card, then you can connect the world. Gee, the hardest decision that I need to make. Any thoughts?

I am truely upset about how Sprint went about releasing this phone. I was able to preorder the EVO 3D a month before it was available at Bestbuy. Now, Bestbuy doesn't even know what the Epic Touch is. And it's release day....

Sprint seems to have a much better relationship with HTC. They really go all out with regards to advertising and release hype.

I am kind of with you. I want the prime so I am waiting at least a few weeks I think to see.

Does anyone know if I will be able to get the phone at a discount price, since I'm not eligible yet till 3/23/2012. The phone plan is 3 Evo's and another cheap phone that does have an upgrade option. I want to get this phone, but I'm also interested in seeing the iphone 5

I just got it about 20 minutes ago and couldn't be happier. Coming from the evo 4g, the difference is night and day. You can natively ditch any bloatware. So much faster and lighter. I absolutely love this phone...and highly recommend it.
Btw, and im not sure how, but my gf and I both upgraded our phones on the same account and it only cost us $200 combined. We both sold back our evo's for $88 each. This was all done throu a sprint store...Brent, if you happen to read this THANKS BRO!!!
Finally, they confirmed that the nexus prime will be a verizon only phone. Not sure if that is true or not so you can take that for what you will.

Verizon has exclusivity for the nexus prime but no one knows for how long. It's gonna have to be released on the other carriers but may not for some time.
Also, I just got back from my Sprint store where I played with the E4GT and it is simply mind blasting! The screen is so beautiful..my NS4G screen was dwarfed next to it...and of course the employees had downloaded all the benchmark apps. Quadrant was 3400 I am really having trouble fighting off the urges to get this phone...screw the iphone 5, lol

This phone is simply fantastic. So very glad I got it.
Sent from my Epic 4g Touch

I bit the bullet and got it!! haha well at least i have 2 weeks to decide to keep it. hopefully by then the iphone 5 will be announced and unless it is mind blowing, ill keep E4GT

I am in the same boat as the OP, I am upgrade eligible but don't want to jump in because of the next few phone announcements. I am also puzzled about how hush hush this release is, makes it seem like the phone is not important.
I was playing around with it in the Sprint store today and it is an absolutely beautiful phone. I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I love that device, hopefully the phone has good battery life as well. The only thing I was not sure about was how large the phone is, may not be so comfy in your jeans.

I am in love

Like your description for the phone, i believe everybody here in the form feels like you do. If the evo 4g had such a huge amount of developers around it, I can only imagine the amount of love this phone will get.

The good thing is that the GSII has been out for a few months, and has plenty of development. I wonder if the base stock ROM is similar.

Oh yeah...this device is just, really what Android should be. It's borders on g'damned religious epiphany.

Samsung definitely did it right with the Galaxy S2.

Finally! But its nothing like that 3D POS got. I loved the Evo 4G but IMO the NS4G and this new beauty have been the best phones since it...although the Photon wasn't bad at all but returned it before my 30 days for the S2.

Any word on CM for this thing?

I think I saw about the same, 3-5 commercials during games...and like 3-5 dozen J-Lo Fiat commercials. But I digress.
I think they're not over advertising because supplies/distribution are really low right now. I know the Sprint store we got our phones from only had 14 in-store on Friday (they had 5 on Tuesday when I reserved 2, and then got another 9 in Friday morning), and were down to 3 when my wife and I picked ours up 2-hours before close. The Best Buy across the parking lot only got in 2 for Friday, and no accessories at all.

I really suspect that they are probably saving some revenue for a big push with the new iphone. I love my epic touch but I think the the new Iphone will be the perfect phone for my girl. Way off topic though. I agree OP I am in love with this phone too. My day off today my girl went out and I stayed home all day messing with my new toy.

I'm headover heels in love too!....(cept...I'll probably betray her when Nexus Prime is onveiled...shhhh)

Rant Here about Verizon not giving a date and pushing this back every week

now im not on verizon and the only reason im coming over is for this phone. (BE WARNED - RANT COMING)
I've been on sprint for about 10 years now, the past 3 years i have been on an employee plan paying 30$/month for unlimited everything. The sad thing is, i feel bad for the people paying full price on sprint because im located in Rochester NY and sprint service should be great here but i rarely get service indoor's recently. 4G is a joke and Rochester was one of the first places to get it turned on. So im happy to move to a better network and brought myself to pay the extra $ for the service.... so enough about how sprints network is going down hill and on to how Verizon F***ED this launch up royally.
Maybe i hate Verizon for not mentioning a word about this phone. Maybe its because the Galaxy Nexus has been out for almost a month overseas. Maybe its because i feel like not only have i been waiting for this phone but i've also been waiting for Google to release an exciting new OS. Maybe it's the fact that i KNOW this phone can compete in the market as one of the best phones and not to mention its the flagship phone from Google that can kick start features like NFC and such. but then i think to myself... What did i just see when i turned on the TV or when i went to that website. ADs for the RAZR... THE RAZR.... ARE U KIDDING ME?
okay okay, i understand, back in 2003 it was the coolest phone on the block. TIMES HAVE CHANGED, Verizon knewwwwww they were getting the Nexus, and they hate they can't call it Droid. the name droid (personal opinion) is UGLY. Im not saying Galaxy Nexus is any better but i dont want to feel like i have a robot in my pocket. The Razr just came at the wrong time and VZ spent to much money with s$itty advertising like they always do.
I was really really hoping to see some type of great marketing strategy by verizon starting this week. Something along the lines of this:
Mon Night Football. 5 to 10 second commercial, completely white background and just out the nexus right in the middle of the high def screen. no music. mahyeb a piano key or smething, with just a shot of this beauty... then at the very end, flash Verizon so people know, that phone is coming to VZ, wow!!?? (and yes i would love to see a "with Google" slapped in there somewhere but we all know Verizon would have a heart attack promoting anyone but themselves)
and keep showing the commercial every day with a count down until the release date (which i was hoping the 9th) so it would have been even sweeter to see that commercial knowing i can freakin get that this week!?!
people know the verizon brand, they like the verizon brand becuase its associated with a good network. FOCUS ON YOUR PRODUCT, THE BEST ONE U HAVE. make people say, woahhhhhh what was that???? and im not talking about the people like us who wait and wait and wait knowing we will hold out for this, im talking about your average consumer, the one who see's a product and says, damn thats good looking, i WANT that. i WANT THAT NEOWWWZ!
(hell i even made a s$hitty youtube video to get my point across)
but no. No commercials, no internet Ad's, only one spot on thier website to put your email in a box (which NO ONE likes giving out) for more information....
Verizon, you messed up. You had a chance to make a boat load even more of cash and you missed out. im not even your customer yet and i dread the fact ill be stuck with you for two years.
and now we have this, no Google wallet. im highly confident once developers get their hands on this phone they will find a way to make it work, but instead Verizon points the finger and says its not them. WHY IN THE HELL WOULD GOOGLE NOT WANT TO HELP ITS OWN NEW SERVICE?!? It just doesnt make sense.........
alright, i just blacked out with anger/frustration while typing this so i hope it makes sense and i hope other people see what im seeing...
oh, and one last note.. This ones for you Google. i hope you paid attention to this whole launch. i hope you learned your leson about dancing with the RED DEVIL. They will take your masterpiece and piss all over it.

In my opinion the main problem with this launch is that Google and Samsung allowed Verizon to take control of it. I hate to compare to Apple, but they take full control of their product launches and do not allow the carriers to tamper in any way. Samsung and Google should have grown some balls and had the phone launched their way. If Verizon did not want to play ball then they just release the unlocked version here as they did in the past.

Cool story bro. Lol @ video. Lame but funny.

Hmm, that's weird. My company spends just shy of $100k a year on Verizon devices (somewhere around ~800 lines currently)...and my rep is just as unable to get one to sell as anyone else.
And he is the rep for 5 other companies around our size.
I think there's a much better chance you're a Verizon employee or were able to play with one in the immediate vicinity.

Your bigger rant should be how a company the size of VZW can hose their entire LTE network with each introduction of a new device.

Yeah, and you can bet that the resolution will be quiet and nothing else ever said of this outage.
"Isolated" will be the spin. I was going to head over to Verizon and eBay the GSM GNEX I have, but I just can't fork over $85 for a tiered plan when I have unlimited on ATT for $40 after taxes (2nd line on plan).

Not saying I necessarily don't believe you, just saying the "don't sell yet" thing is pretty hard...they probably aren't even allowing the devices to activate on the network yet.
Beyond that, not a single person knows the date it's releasing now. The update said "indefinite", meaning nobody knows for sure. It's just suspected for next week, at the moment.

I won't promise anything but I will call rep tomorrow for some info

I disagree.
Seriously. Think about it from Verizon's perspective. Why would they put money and advertising behind the Nexus phone when they have the Rezound and Razr that just came out and are of similar specs? They control the user experience on those devices and can put their subscription apps preloaded on them. Not true with the Galaxy Nexus. Of course they're going to market the hell out of the devices that make them more money.
That said, I agree that Samsung/Google should have taken more charge with this launch. Nexus devices are about no compromise, pure Android experiences, and no carrier/OEM tampering. What I've seen of the Verizon version has contradicted this in a few ways before the phone is even out. Makes me very happy I got the GSM version. But at least the LTE one is unlocked and there will be plenty of ROMs and support for it.

In Store purchasing

so, last i heard sprint was pushing back the in-store release date. Has anyone seen one in a store yet?

No I went an hr ago and they didn't even have any advertisement for it or even the test units or dummy units the guy said some time next week they will get em -_____-

went there a couple minutes ago, pushed back by about aweek :/

Same here. I want to at least have time to mess around with it in the store before I get it.

Only a handful of stores got them in today, and they were supposedly LTE launch cities. The full release was pushed back to the 28th. I got mine in today, and all I can say is: EPIC.

Just wanted to update everyone on my visit to the Sprint store today. I went by the local Sprint store here earlier and I was also told that the release of the SGIII to them got pushed back. They told me that they could get them as early as next week, but there was a chance they would not get them until the 1st of July. At any rate, I went ahead and placed my order and got put on the waiting list. I was waiting patiently, yet anxiously, and expecting to hear the lady at the store tell me that I was like number 5 million to be on the list...LOL...Come to find out, I was only the 5th person to order one...which is good because that will mean I will get mine out of the first batch they get. Now I get to sit and impatiently wait...LOL
Cheers!

I went to the Sprint store today as well and they said they have to push it back because of Samsung not being able to meet up with the pre order demand. Then I pulled one of the reps over on the side and asked him if this has anything to do with Apple trying to sue Samsung for S-Voice. He replied, "Apple will do anything to delay the release of other phones."
So there is your reason for the delay ladies and gentlemen

Um, sorry but doubtful. A sprint store guy wouldnt know more than a vast internet full of info leakers. (including ISN). Right now theres no indication that Apple has anything to do with anything. People got their 16 gb'ers today, and all signs point to other shipments soon or in progress. This smells exactly what it is, a supply problem.

I went by my Sprint store today. They didn't have the phone, but they had cases for the phone for sale...

Same here. I want to at least have time to mess around with it in the store before I get it.

Same here I need to hold a product before I buy it. But my heart is set on it just need my mind set on it..... Plus I still need to decide color.... I like white but think it might get old after a while.... Plus then case options are limited compared to darker tones.

same here, want to test it out ... kinda disappointed, wanted the UK version out here ... but lets see

I skipped pre ordering because I figured that it wasn't really worth tying up my money for a whole month. Kind of regretting it now. I've called every Sprint, Best Buy, and Radio Shack near me and no one has it on this side of Atlanta. Super bummed.

Only a handful of stores got them in today, and they were supposedly LTE launch cities. The full release was pushed back to the 28th. I got mine in today, and all I can say is: EPIC.

Sorry to disagree, but the consensus is that no stores, sprint or authoriized retailers, have gotten these in yet anywhere. If u know of any specific locations that have, however, of course I'd be interested to know.
