Ditto.

Crossing fingers for June 3rd. But it bothers me that there are no leaks / no information.

[HTC EVO 3D] ritchyboy:
Hey guys i work for sprint. They reset upgrade elegibility due to silver and gold customers. Simply walk into a sprint store before June 30 and all they have to do is call sales support to do a manual override for the upgrade. Been doing this all month.
[HTC EVO 3D] scotbot:
Speaks the truth, But I skipped the in store visit and just called.
[HTC EVO 3D] JakedGr8:
Thanks! I've been hearing things like this floating around. But we all know how consistent sprint is!

(Don't get me started with, "this works at spring and told me the release date is...")

Even if I just changed my plan about 3 weeks ago? a month maybe? they will DO this?
[HTC EVO 3D] Whosdaman:
My source has confirmed that the scheduled date for release is June 5th. It may change, but for now everything is planned for June 5th. Sprint stores will be receiving collateral for the EVO 3D in this coming week to prepare for the launch.

Idk why in the world you think it is June 3rd, that's just dumb lol
[HTC EVO 3D] lafester:
because the 3rd is a friday.

no way its going to release on sunday.

i can see sunday as being the official release though and having a soft launch on friday.
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
Last year the phone was released on a Friday. Why is the third such a dumb idea?

[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
Nexus launched on a Sunday...

[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
I bet $50 they announce it tomm.
[HTC EVO 3D] Whosdaman:
Every phone for sprint releases on sunday. The last time a phone didn't launch on a sunday was the evo
[HTC EVO 3D] lafester:
of course it did. only the big launches are on fridays.
[HTC EVO 3D] lafester:
exactly my point. the big releases are done on fridays.
[HTC EVO 3D] Whosdaman:
Well see, but that is extremely doubtful. I'm always right and my source is impenetrable when it comes to internal sprint material.
[HTC EVO 3D] ttieder:
I believe you how long have you known of the date
[HTC EVO 3D] ldominguez1986:
Did your source have a price in mind
[HTC EVO 3D] Chopper Je:
This makes some sense. I was going to mention that (a) I bought my EVO on the first day it was available (June 6) and (b) as a Sprint Premier Gold member, I can update after one year. While Sprint could wave a few days, it makes more sense to release the 3D slightly more than one year after the original EVO release so that one year upgrades aren't penalized.
[HTC EVO 3D] mayfield103:
Check out good and evo leaked radio shack add gives price 199 new 500 off contract + 100 off if you trade in your evo or shift

don't forget to bring a towel!
[HTC EVO 3D] killakarl:
The evo was supposed to be released on a Sunday but best buy sold them early. On Friday.
[HTC EVO 3D] Whosdaman:
that's right! I knew I remembered something about a mistake of why evo was sold on friday. Best but sold their white version two days early

Also I made the prediction myself 2 months ago when the phone was announced. My source just told me what he has heard about two weeks ago. We just talked yesterday and he said it is scheduled for june 5
[HTC EVO 3D] rrsweet:
This would not shock me at all. I figured it would be $250 if we were lucky or the 1st $300 phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] mayfield103:
Upgrade is still only 199 plus 99 off if you trade in your evo or shift

don't forget to bring a towel!
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
Not true. I preordered my Evo at Radio Shack. They scheduled an appointment for me to pick it up on Friday, June 4th (which was the launch day).

The Evo launched on a Friday, it wasn't a Best Buy mistake.
[HTC EVO 3D] killakarl:
The release date that came directly from sprint was the sixth. Other stores sold them early on Friday.

[HTC EVO 3D] dresr82:
Thank you very much for this info. Just got off the phone with the Sprint rep and got the manual override done. Full upgrade savings for me!:D Now waiting for the release date! (VERY hopeful of June 3rd.)
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
Again, you are wrong. The Evo launched on Friday June 4th, and nobody sold it early:

http://www.intomobile.com/2010/05/12/live-sprints-htc-evo-4g-launch-event/

Like I said, I was in on the preorder from day 1 and if someone would have sold it early, I would have been all over it.

EDIT:

LOL at all you clowns that were attempting to give me crap for being wrong and supposedly not searching.
[HTC EVO 3D] killakarl:
I might have been wrong. But I still have tiger blood and goddesses
[HTC EVO 3D] Whosdaman:
The official launch date was 6/6 for the evo. I work for sprint, I was there and so were others. Best but and rs sold early, so sprint followed suit
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
Here is the official press release from Sprint:

http://newsroom.sprint.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=1502

Notice it is dated: 12 May 2010

Notice it is titled: America's First 4G Phone, HTC EVOTM 4G, Debuts on June 4...

Duh, winning. A little Google goes a long way, lol

Seriously, June 4th (Friday) was the official date. Now can we please stop arguing this indisputable fact and get back on topic?
[HTC EVO 3D] Whosdaman:
The rs leak is legit. I just contacted a source at radioshack and he said they got the flyer today
[HTC EVO 3D] rrsweet:
If this is true, and I see zero reason why it wouldn't be since that is obviously not a screen shot, and is a picture. then the release has to be around the corner. stores have little room to store stuff let alone storing hundreds of flyers for a month.

I think this points pretty hard to a June 3rd release.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nsandhu23:
Agreed. But I'm kinda worried because Sprint didnt actually announce it on this previous Saturday.

From my Gingerbread Hero.
[HTC EVO 3D] Whosdaman:
True, they will probably announce it this week sometime. And when it is june 5th...well we all know what that means ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] toxicfumes22:
OK, so since the 05/21 Doomsday (That noone cared about) didn't come true, it reminded me of all of the dates being thrown around here for the release date. I wonder how stupid those people feel now that they are wrong.
[HTC EVO 3D] Whosdaman:
Well duh, they predicted before evo 3d came out. Of course they feel stupid
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
This isn't the first time they predicted it and were wrong. So they probably feel about the same as they did the last time they predicted it and it didn't happen.
[HTC EVO 3D] newbie139:
hey guys

im new to this forum and glad to be part of it ,,, i have a simple question i called sprint costumer service and they told me that im eligible for manual override cause im a premier costumer but only if i acquire the phone through them ..

.. are they pulling my chain or this is true ???

cause i pre ordered through best buy before reading this thread about this manual override
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
I want to work for sprint now. hahaha
[HTC EVO 3D] robnelle:
It would be a new change if that was the case. Here is the im I received from a Sprint rep on the Sprintusers.com forums who did the manual override for me:

Robin,

Thanks for your patience as I processed your request. Your upgrade will be restored within 24 - 72 hours. Please remember, this only affects the current upgrade. Once you take advantage of this upgrade, you will be on a 22 month upgrade cycle unless you become Gold. I appreciate your loyalty. Please let me know if you have any questions.

–art

P.S. Just a reminder, there is no upgrade fee if you upgrade at Sprint.com. Just sayin’. =]

"Tier Override",

The above message was sent to me on May 16th. Art mentioned nothing about having to get the phone through Sprint in any of his posts on the forum or in this IM. The fact that he states I can get the upgrade fee waived IF I do go through Sprint implies that I don't have to.

Here's a link to the original thread if you want to find out more. I warn you- it's a long thread.

[HTC EVO 3D] Nsandhu23:
I think they are just messing with you. Go into radio shack or best buy and ask about your upgrade. Tests the only true way to figure out. And besides, I don't believe that Sprint would have "hidden" upgrade notes.

[HTC EVO 3D] Philosophy757:
I advised them that I already was upgrade eligible before the silver/gold change and they reinstated it with no issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] johnnycr:
I talked to a Radio Shack manager about this. He said that Sprint told him to honor Gold/Silver upgrades through the end of June. I'm not eligible for my 22 month upgrade until 7/31, so I'm really hoping the Evo 3D comes out in June!

[HTC EVO 3D] ajs421:
FYI - for those who are still skittish about pre-ordering, my local corporate store (Chicago Suburb) took my pre-order without so much as a penny. The guy pulled my account, printed out my information, and tossed it aside into a folder labeled "Pre-orders".

He said there was no reason to charge me as they would be "pulling straight from store stock", which I guess signals that they only ask for $50 when they think they need to order additional stock?
[HTC EVO 3D] Nsandhu23:
Exact same situation here. Original Hero, but deciding between Evo and SG2. If Evo is released in June ill get it. If not then ill weigh out the phones one on one.

[HTC EVO 3D] rrsweet:
I just dont get why people are interested in the SG2. Samsung will find a way to screw up just about anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] newbie139:
ok so just to help anyone with the problem i HAD [PAST TENSE] this is what happened i called around 6 times and sprint gave me the run around stating i could only get the upgrade through them but the people that were saying this were the reps that helped me when i called customer service through my cellphone dialing *2 , but when i called through a landline customer service 866-866-7509 the sent the request to reset my eligibility and they told me it would take 24 hours and i can use it anywhere

http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/05/r...price-19999-with-contract-49999-without.html#

The HTC EVO 3D's release date may still be up for debate, but according to this Radio Shack ad that landed in my inbox this morning, some other details are looking rock solid.

First there's the price: $199.99 with new or upgrade two-year contract and $499.99 for the phone alone. The $10 monthly Premium Data you've grown to accept as part of your EVO 4G ownership will also be a part of your life with the EVO 3D. Nothing really surprising, but still nice to have confirmed in print.

Next up is something that will be familiar news to anyone who looked through the leaked system dump the other week: a copy of a 3D version of The Green Hornet is preloaded. It was unclear from the dump whether the Green Hornet 3D .apk was a movie or a game, so this ad clears that up for us.

And finally, there are a couple of Radio Shack exclusives: 1) you can trade in your EVO 4G or EVO Shift 4G for $100 toward the price of the EVO 3D and 2) you get a free download of The Black Eyed Peas' "Phenomenon" song.

I also checked http://www.sprintbuyback.com to see what I could get for my HTC Hero. $40... not bad. :) I think they give like $150 for EVO's.

Dear ---------

I understand your concerns over the locked bootloader of certain devices and the recent information that has been discussed. From here in HTC Technical Support we don't have any information to provide about this situation; we can only provide your feedback and the information you've provided to the appropriate department for further review and internal discussion.
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
I sent them tons of info on people leaving HTC all over the place due to this issue.

I sent it to HTC us as well Taiwan many times and showed them people comments not using names ofcourse but at least they realize it is a problem.. who knows

We are the consumer and personally the only reason I kept my EVO was the fact I could develop it make it how I thought it should be ..

Once you remove that from us what we have left is a device that will keep the happy New feeling for 3 months after that like many get bored ..

I'm only one person but I'm sure others have writen them but it takes proof to get a billion dollar company to make moves ..

[HTC EVO 3D] ldominguez1986:
Do you think that this is a universal price. Like the Sprint store will sell it for $499. I hope so because that is where I pre ordered mine. Still in love with this nexus though. Every day I use it the more I fall in love with this phone and makes it harder for me to make the switch to the evo 3d
[HTC EVO 3D] Mikee4fun:
Yes that is correct. =)
[HTC EVO 3D] Mikee4fun:
Best Buy Mobile could undercut it by 50 bucks like have done to some other phones in the past. But only under contract pricing not no contract pricing.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mikee4fun:
Sprint no longer requires mail in rebates and neither does Best Buy. Radio Shack... not sure about them. Best chance at landing one is going to be telesales.... unless you have already pre ordered one. I heard stock is going to be tight....
[HTC EVO 3D] ldominguez1986:

[HTC EVO 3D] srb7215:
I am surprised that the original Evo is still priced at $200. You would think they would have dropped the price of this phone at least a week or so before the Evo 3D rolled out. Makes me wonder who quickly the Evo 3D is really coming out.
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
I think they are trying to sell as many evo 4g as possible. Thats why the pre order is hush hush.

OR

The Evo 3D is a lot further behind schedule than expected, and the quiet pre orders are to calm the anxious tech geeks like us down.

[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
I don't think that has anything to do with it. I wouldn't be surprised if the original EVO stays at that price even after the 3d launch.

I think when the TP2 came out it was actually cheaper then the dated TP.

[HTC EVO 3D] newbie139:
Guys im curious

Does the EVO 3D come with the hotspot feature unlocked like the nexus s 4G does?

cause that would suck and be unfair if one customer will have this feature for free and another wont just because there phones are dif.
[HTC EVO 3D] WeatherTech:
Not unfair - you can buy the other phone is that's what you want.

It will have a hotspot feature but it will cost you an extra 29 a month to use it unless you are able to root the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] newbie139:
it will be unfair if i have the same plan as the other user & he has the nexus 4g and i have the evo 3d and i have to pay 30 dollars for a feature that is free if i buy a cheaper phone .

how would you feel if me and you went to the same pizza shop and we both buy a slice for the same price but mine has bacon and yours peperonni and cause of that i get to sit inside and eat and you would have to eat outside ???????????????????????????

[HTC EVO 3D] newbie139:
