Up till last week Sprint has my upgrade date as June 1st 2013, they corrected it some time in the last week to Feb 2014... Did they fix every one else's or is this what I get for complaining they charged an upgrade fee even though they told me they wouldn't.

My upgrade was never early - it's 20 months from now.
If I were you, I would've bought another SGS3 online and sold it on CL for $600.
He meant for those ppl that posted a while back ago when they got their s3. Good amount of ppl reported that their upgrade was around June 1st of 2013. I bought this off contract so my upgrade is one June 1st

sprint actually messed up my upgrade.
i purchased an upgrade for $165 through the buy up plan to get the evoLTE. ($165+$200) so i got it for a little more than $365. returned it, then sprint never reset my eligibility. so of course i called in complaining.
the rep at sprint didnt realize I was not initially fully eligible to upgrade, but reset my eligibility to the full discount! so I got the s3 for $200.
you think i was going to say something? NO! lol

I got off the phone with a sprint rep a little while ago, i told him that my mogel was having problems and i didn't want to use my insurance if the touchpro 2 was coming out soon. he checked and said it would be out on july 25.

I have a dying Mogul too. Can't.....hold....out...much....longer! Sprint guy tried to sell me on a TP, but he forgets that I demo'd one from him, and I didn't think it was worth leaving a fully functional Mogul. Glad I held out.
We've all heard rumors before, so is there anyone else who's heard this release date?
well if thats true that would be great. I went to a local sprint store, tp/diamond werent even on display and i asked about the tp2, he said they havent told them anything and it will probly come out in october or so
no comment... I'm tired of this BS with release dates.
Wha????? noooooooooooooo!! What happened to August 12th? grrrrrr. It figures though. Heck, even Telus (Canada) has there's out already. Price of $249 w/ 3 yr. contract.
Oh well, I shall continue to wait.

Err, still August 12th
sales rep is wrong, phones are always released on a Wednesday... the date has been stated in multiple internal documents, there is no reason they would push it back 3 days
Weird...I'm visiting Ohio & just asked a tmob sales rep at a mall. He also said Aug. 15th!
Still the 12th.
Training was given over 3 weeks ago.
No price given yet though.....
The myTouch has the limelight because of Google.
I find it funny how I write No Comment. But after that I write a comment about how I feel about that.
My local Tmobile Store told me Aug 12th at first but I called yesterday and they said the 15th too. Maybe they will make it available for online ordering on the 12th and stores will put it out on the 15th ??
I can't wait to switch from ATT. ATT sucks.

no. No. NO. I just talked to Pda/BlackBerry dept. and it is definately the 12th. T-Mob NEVER releases phones on a Saturday. It's just the company's policy. Wednesday is like a "Thank God I am in the middle of the week" release date. I am upgrading from a BB, they have made a special allotment for me , I guess I am just used to HTC phones. The local T-Mob stores don't know nothing. Heck, I went instore yesterday to my fav rep, and she said they didn't even have the display version yet, so how would they know. lol. But then again, she is getting the myTouch 3G so .. well.. .. anyway.

Lets hope so man. I can't wait to get it my hands on it. I will pop by at the tmo store in my neighborhood tomorrow and see whats up.
Maybe that will give me more time to sell my BB 8900. I need a buyer and I don't have one yet. I wont be able to buy the TP2 if I don't get someone to buy my 8900. I will have to get it 2-3 weeks after it drops!

I was going to get this phone, but the $349.00 price is outrageous. I am NOT under contract with T-Mobile (customer for SEVEN YEARS), so if they can't come down, I'm walking right over to AT&T. I've been using a Wing for two years and I've been waiting patiently for T-Mo to release a new winmo phone, and the price turning out to be so high after all this waiting has me steamed.

To add fuel to my fire, they are also going to require a data plan for the entire two years. I live in a rural area, so I am stuck with T-Mo's notoriously slow EDGE network; T-Mo's 3G network doesn't come within 35 miles of my house!
If you have any questions I will answer them for you, but I will try to explain it as simple as I can.
When was your last upgrade used? If it was used before March 31st 2010 you should not lose the upgrade as you've already reached the 1 year mark. The system could change it, at which point you'd have to call and ask them to reset it, in a very kindly manner because they can say no.
If it was used after March 31st, you will lose it unless you've been with Sprint for 10 years or more, or you are on one of the new plans that still qualify you for yearly upgrades: $89.99 or higher for individual plans and $169.99 for family plans.
If you've been with Sprint 10+ years you will never lose the yearly upgrades (unless Sprint completely scraps the program). Same thing goes if you are on one of the plans I mentioned above.
If you're confused, let me know.
umm i just spoke to a rep and she said that i'm elgible for an upgrade on july 1 2011. and i'm only on the 69.99 and only been with sprint for a year. did she lie?

Not necessarily, but come April 1st the program changes so your upgrade would be removed from July 1st 2011 to May 2012 as you're not meeting the newer qualifications to give you 1 year upgrades.
Okay:
3 Lines
Switched to Sprint / Contract started the day the evo launched
Currently have $150 dollar discounts x 3 - Says they were available the 1st of the month, but have been there since December.
Going to loose them or not, and if so, when - what do I have to do to get them back?

Correct, because the program changes and the price plan you have to meet to qualify you for year upgrades go up. Unless you switch to a qualifying plan, you will not qualify June 4th 2010. You would have to call back in June and ask for an upgrade reset.

This is an odd scenario, you switched all 3 lines June 2010? If so, how are all 3 lines qualifying for full upgrade? Only your main line would. Did you buy your Evo on the street or at full price? It could also be a system error that shows you qualify on all 3 lines instead of just the main line, in this case there's a 50/50 chance the system will not kick your upgrade once they do the sweep April 1st.

On April 1, can Evo owners call in to have their upgrade for this year reset, to potentially get a Nexus or Evo 3D?

Last year I used an upgrade on another line on my account. Purchased it from radio shack, activated on the other line then went home called sprint and had the evo activated on my line.think I could get away with this again? I really would like the new evo and give this one to my brother but need to use his upgrade since he is the primary for some reason and gets the yearly upgrade.

Yes, this is common practice - to use another lines upgrade and switch the phone to whatever line you want.

Craigslist or eBay. Check both and see what they are going for and go from there. I can't see you having trouble selling it.

This. I posted a rooted Evo3D "for sale, tonight" for $350 obo, got an offer for $300 within 10 minutes.
What they said^^^^
I just sold my 3 day old Droid Bionic on eBay for $575. I am selling the Thunderbolt next and all this should pay for the GSII tomorrow coming from Verizon.
No way to ditch after 30 days, other than selling the phone and paying full retail. or cancelling a line (paying ETF), then paying discounted price on a new line.
You lose your phone number, but sometimes the ETF + Discounted price is cheaper than if you buy at full retail.
Of course, you could sell your photon and make up most of the retail too.
I got really lucky, returned my 3vo within 30 days (bought it full price - evo 4g trade-in and $75 for 1 year). The sprint store screwed up and didnt reset my upgrade (basically lost $75)
So I called sprint a last week and they looked at my history, because the store messed up and didnt reset the upgrade, they reset my upgrade to a FULL upgrade, even though i didnt have that to begin with. So now instead of 549.99 - 75, i'm paying 199

Well it was over 30 days and my eligibility wasn't reset I was extremely happy when I was expecting to get my $75 credit back but got the full upgrade credit. Idk if they made a mistake or what, but I'm awfully happy
I would have bought it regardless, but the extra cash helps, it let me have an extremely crazy time on my friends 21st yesterday lol. At the end of the day I'm paying little for the phone. Got $150 for my evo 4g towards the 3d, was refunded $511.80 all together from sprint for the 3d (never got the $75 back, and that doesnt include the $35 restock fee i paid) so $476.80 refunded. Epic touch is $215.49 after tax. Out of pocket all together, it's costing me $100.49. Whereas it would have costed me $500+ otherwise.
I'm looking forward to developing for this phone. I'm staying up all night studying for a calculus 3 exam at 10am, then I'll have the phone around 12:30 and I'll probably pass out once i hit my bed. I'm pumped.

I always have the National Sales Support people just reset the eligibility while the customer is still in the store. I've done this dozens of times via E-Chat, never once have they tell me I couldn't do it and we're not a corporate.
Seems odd to me. Could it be a store grade issue?

I tried doing this for my friend (he wanted an upgrade which they can't do, so he was just going to cancel and get a new contract).
They said they are no longer honoring that (starting the day before I called) because in the terms and conditions they said they can raise the administrative fee up to $1.99. So I talked to them for a bit and they said there's nothing they could do.
I didn't push really hard, thats just what cancellations told me.
Hey guys, there's a good post over on goodandevo, from about a week ago, and it deals with a change in Sprint's term of service...and the details state that anyone can cancel their line of service without paying the ETF if they are unhappy with the changes. You have to call and give this reason for cancelling.
Post if this has happened to you, please.
I was available for upgrade and had gotten an EVO LTE through Wirefly. Ended up returning it, and got my refund about a week later. A few days after getting my refund, I got my upgrade eligibility back. About 3 weeks after that I ordered my S3 using my upgrade from Amazon, and the day after I placed my order I got an e-mail from Amazon saying they weren't able to activate my new device, but it wouldn't be a problem because I can simply call Sprint when I get it and have them activate it for me. So that's what I did. Now, about a month later, I check on the Sprint website and it says I'm still eligible for upgrade on this line. So I went to Amazon's site and used their checker, and it also says I'm available for upgrade.
Checked my statements and my balances and I was only ever billed the $149.99 for the device and I haven't gotten any e-mails about this issue or that I owe more money.
Did I slip through the cracks here? Anyone else have this happen before? Would be cool if I did xD
This happened to me when I was n ATT. They gave me two upgrades within one month on one line. Lol
It's happened to a lot of people before. Usually it goes away after a few days to a month. If amazon.com lets you buy one with a new contract, you can buy it for $150 and sell it on ebay for $500.
Good to know this sort of thing happens. I guess I got lucky then. Amazon says I'm eligible and so does Sprint, I think I might be good. Had to be related to that weird e-mail I got from Amazon saying they were unable to ACTIVATE my device. I'm not sure if I want to buy another phone and sell it. Don't really need the money. I'd prefer being able to upgrade to a quad-core S4 this coming Christmas LOL

Chances are that it'll be fixed within the next month like it was for other people, so I'd highly recommend seizing the opportunity ASAP.
this happened at T-Mobile with me and i almost told on myself but i caught on. They didn't notice i just got a new phone weeks ago. So i kept my phone and waited til gs2 came out and sold my old /new phone for 500 dollars easiest money i ever made.Thanks T-Mobile you guys rock lol.

sounds like ur eligibility status got lost in the shuffle of upgrading thru amazon to the LTE then returning it then ordering an S3. Im assuming Sprint restored ur eligibility after returning the LTE but never removed ur eligibility after u ordered the S3 and data got crossed between companies... if u wanna buy me an Gnex with ur "spare" upgrade i'll paypal u the money... LOL :laugh:
Happened to us awhile back when I got a Hero for the wife. Got it at BestBuy and as a course of normal routine, I checked her upgrade status a few months later and it still showed she could upgrade. Went back and got her an OG EVO, then sold the Hero for same price as the upgrading to the EVO.
