Hey guys I just stumbled across this but if your upgrade is sometime this YEAR then you can reserve a $50 gift card at best buy!
Even if you don't actually decide to upgrade, the offer does not harm you in any way! Maybe some of your guys' phones are broken and stuff, and heres a great chance to upgrade AND, essentially, get some money back

Verizon is expensive!! We looked into it. Just saying... We decided to stay with Sprint cuz we use like 10-20gigs of data a month

Same reason I'm with Sprint. We use waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy to much Data to go with any other Carrier. Hellrison would cost me double plus.

I figured since there isn't a topic on this handset yet that I'd go ahead and start one. Android spin is reporting the phone will release on sprint by the end of July. Does anyone have any information on what will be different about the handset other than the radio. I don't see why sprint would give it a different moniker if its the same as the international version.

Whosdaman got an email from his source saying that it would be coming at that date. From what I see WiThin=WiMax+Thin. So, they're marketing two features of the phone(4G and size) with one name. So, that's my guess t the name change.

I have been sitting on my upgrade since february, preordered the evo 3d, then heard about this phone a few weeks ago. If you look at the specs, this thing blows the evo 3d out of the water. Internal memory is huge and the bench marks are insane. So, it looks like I will be sticking with samsung.
Happy I got my epic brand new in box from a friend for 3bills. I refuse to lock a contract.

Best way to do it. Ill probably sell my epic on Craigslist and but the within on Craigslist or eBay. I hate signing contracts
"The greatest respect you can earn is self respect" Louie Simmons
been sitting on my upgrade since february as well, specifically for the sgs2. i had the moment, intercept, transform, and the epic so i might as well keep her goin samsung style.
So I got my Epic in December. I stupidly locked into a 2 yr contact. I definitely want this phone tho. Even if it means breaking my contract and starting a new one. What's the smartest route to take?

But really, what % of lines qualify for that? Sprint premier is something that helped them keep customers long term. Now people won't have an incentive to stay. Now the only thing Sprint will have to hold it's hat over T-mo is true unlimited data.

How often do they not have replacement phone at assurion?
coming next.... true unlimited data goes away. after that price increases to match the competition. i'm done with sprint. my service has been too shoddy recently in areas that other companies have been good (including ATT) if i'm going to end up paying the same amount as those companies i'm jumping ship.

Are you talking about at Sprint or Best Buy? Also since they are doing away with the Premiere program you will be with that phone for 20 months. It seems like a good phone but just seen a glimpse of the Galaxy III for 2012 and may just wait. Anxious to see what the Devs will do with Gingerbread source code.
Are you going for it?

No I'm not getting it but was curious how they would handle the 75 upgrade as sprint no longer let's you get gold status as of 10-1 as of my talk with them earlier.. I had my eyes on the nexus prime or new quad core phones in 1st 1/4 next year. My 150 upgrade isn't till 8/1/12 btw

so I guess what it comes down is extend the contract now and get a Galaxy 2 (for almost free) or wait till it expires to resign and get a Galaxy 3? Probably will wait if that's the case.
