No,hat he is saying is that he heard some sales reps that probably read xda or similar and are not allowed to confirm rumor per the company internal Presale announcement posted here earlier.

However, I want to be wrong:) , please flame me to the ground with the release date if you know it :)
[HTC EVO 3D] AdamLeonard:
No. They clearly said "June" and then purposely mumbled/garbled the date to indicate they knew the date but were not allowed to say it.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
They likely know nothing more than any other speculation thats been on here already. If they did know, it would of been leaked to the blogs already with a screenshot or something else already.
[HTC EVO 3D] rollrsk8ter:
Either you didn't say "please", or got somebody that didn't want to go out of their way for you.

As I said in a few posts back, I found this to be true. I said "please" they checked that I did indeed lose it and they put it back already.

I just got off the phone with sprint tellesales, I told rep that about 4 months ago I checked my upgrade date and it said june 29th 2011 and today when I paid my bill I checked my upgrade status and it said I have a $75 credit. Not the full $150. I mentioned that I was wanting to get the EVO 3D. she put me on hold for a about 5 min, she returned and said that I was Indeed able to get the full $150 dollar credit. She said that she was going to apply the credit and put me on hold again. When she came back she said that their system will reset on june 1st 2011 and that I can call in on the 1st and they will be able to apply the credit. But until then they can not adjust the date. She said that my account has been noted and she gave me her name and specialist ID, she said if on june 1st you have problems just refer to the date of this call and they will be able to see what she noted in my account. Then i got transfered to the manager and she stated the same thing. that I needed to call back on june 1st. Lets hope they arent full of BS.
[HTC EVO 3D] kenny111008:
samething happnd to me but like an idiot i forgot the ID she gave me!!! how can i find out that numberrr lol
[HTC EVO 3D] scotbot:
If you call telesales and give them your account info. then refer to the date of your conversation in question, they should be able to verify the info from that day, then say you would like an email confirmation of todays conversation. In the email will be the reps name, team name, specialist id #, and BAN id #. this should be all you need in case you go to upgrade and at the store they play dumb. Believe me, lots of things can go wrong. I have been on hold with sprint enough times that I have learned to request they make notations in my account so when they have to transfer me and the call gets lost/dropped from the system I don't have to re explain my situation and or convince them that the last rep told me such..and..such. and never ever talk down or yell at them. they have the power. At least their call center is in the US.

About as much as your post does, which is to say nothing. People just making small talk until something concrete comes along.

Editing is not my style, unless spelling errors was involved or I wanted to add additional info to my post. That, and I think I was already quoted lol. Completely forgot about a Friday release, even though I knew it was the 4th. The two tentative dates provided to me was two sundays 19th/26th, but a friday release could match last year's release.

[HTC EVO 3D] lafester:
there are more posts in here about abusing the 30 day return policy then there are about release dates lol.

I still think we could see a 6/19 release. isn't the xprt's training on 6/4 with a 6/5 release date?
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
We're not ABusing it, we are USING it. We want to get the phone that is right for us. Perhaps it is in fact the NS4G. That would be very convenient as Google, Sprint and Samsung all colluded to actually release the goddamned thing.

If the phone doesn't suit my needs then I will bring it back. Perhaps my needs are an Evo3D--I wouldn't know, HTC and Sprint haven't seen fit to tell us when it will be available let alone touch one.

...and if the Evo3D ever comes out and I like that one more and it happens to be within 30 days of my purchase of the NS4G I just may use the convenience bestowed upon me and return said NS4G in exchange for the Evo3D.

They pitch this ability as a selling point and I'll be damned if I'll be sold on a bullet point that is nothing more than a bullet point in a sales manual.

You don't want me doing this? Stop telling me I can.

Sprint has a restocking fee to prevent you from cashing out entirely, RS not so much.
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
I wasn't aware of that. I just know that the web page didn't mention it before. Its possible I'm wrong, its certainly happened once or twice before... ;)

my friends bite the bullet and wait it out DONT GET THE NEXUS AND WASTE MORE MONEY with the fine print restocking fees and whatnot you waited this long 3 more weeks will go by fast besides the nexus s 4g having radio problems i got like 4 friends and co workers that had to return cause of poor speeds my pre had faster rates than 2 of them seriously ..... like nike slogan

DONT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Whosdaman:
Alright reverend
[HTC EVO 3D] lafester:
I have no problem with people honestly using the 30 day policy.
[HTC EVO 3D] volcom772:
I would have no problem waiting and was planning to but my evo can barely hold on have about 5 resets per day gps doesn't work and some kind of corrosion drains my battery in just a few hours on standby
[HTC EVO 3D] mquinn24:
I just returned my Nexus S today because of constant dropped calls and very slow 3G speeds.I use my phone for work and can't have all the dropped calls and no service. I'm using my old Evo until they fix the radio issue on the Nexus or I'm getting the 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] lafester:
OUCH. Have you brought it in to a repair center?

They should fix you up for cheap. Might help with your resale value as well :)
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
guhh, definite deal breaker...for the same reasons.
[HTC EVO 3D] dtblair24:
Welp, since tmobile announced some official dates for their Sensation tonight , maybe Sprint can 1 up them with a release date.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Nah, Sprint will find a way to screw this up. They had a chance to really steam-roll the next 2-3 months. If they manage to flub the release of their first dual-core phone behind everyone else--when they had a chance to drop that early on and then hold onto buzz the next entire month and change (due to the motorola announcement/release, SGS2 announcement/release, n3 announcement likely...probably other google partnershipy announcements from what I hear, probably plus other stuff as well) then I doubt they'll be able to even one up even t-mobile on an announcement.

sad.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
I was told I'm not going to pay a reestock fee because I'm a new customer...signed 2year contract 5/27/11)

I bought the nexus s Friday for 230 bucks

Told her I wanted the evo 3d and I will probably return the nexus s before the 30th day. She didn't care and said make sure you don't damage it... there also letting me return the screen protectors I bought for the nexus s and exchange them for the evo's

So saying we are exploiting their policy is a farcry from the truth if the lead sales associate doesn't have a problem with it...
[HTC EVO 3D] derek826:
Ok so I'm from verizon hoping to switch to Sprint for this phone. I know that Sprint has a $125 port in credit if you switch carriers. So what happens if the phone releases after 6/23 (which is the last day for port in credit). So what should i do to get the $125 port in credit. I really want to get the credit but I don't know what to do? any help?
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
This has been covered recently...as recently as the post immediately above yours perhaps....perhaps not....just saying...read around

Now that i've gotten that dickishness out of the way....

Go get a phone and port over now...then when the evo3d comes out exchange that phone for the evo3d. Most of us are pretty hopped up on the nexus s 4g, but all of the reviews and reports seem to agree: the radios suck. Probably why the battery lasts so long, it doesn't receive or transmit worth a damn...

just to be safe hold out for another week or two....then go grab a phone, port over, swap that for the evo when it comes out.

Besides, a crappy sprint store can screw you over simply because they are idiots....and a good sprint store can hook you up even if YOU are an idiot. Choose carefully.

All said I'll only buy my phones from my local Radioshack. They've proven themselves in the past....
[HTC EVO 3D] lafester:
Why would the sales associate care?

Hopefully you like your nexus :)
[HTC EVO 3D] derek826:
So if I switch phones within the thirty day period they give me, will they charge me for both phones totaling to $400 or will they just let me change for free so ill only be spending $200 on both phones? And i should buy the Nexus S4g from sprint right?

-Sorry just want to get facts straight and save some money lol
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Honestly coming from a HD2 to a vibrant to a sgs4g to a g2x to a nexus s I love the nexus out of all of them

But there is some weird screen burn in where time and battery is that only shows opening this app... the signal strength is fair considering I am in a 3g only area

No external memory hurts me a little

And I'm still only getting 10 hours of battery life but I use and rely on my phones so much I ussually don't complain about battery
[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
If you can get a 2nd line to take advantage of the porting, do it. Maybe just a dumb phone. I wouldn't get a Nexus then return it. What if there are supply problems that make you go past the 30 days?
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Be careful. Sprint employees will lie to you about having Evos... they like to hold them for new customers.
[HTC EVO 3D] derek826:
So what should I do since I have two different people saying different things. I mean I dont want to get screwed over and have to keep the nexus for two years.
[HTC EVO 3D] lmbebo:
Thats my big worry.

I still don't know how to work out this purchase at RS and keep wait list spot at Sprint.

Purchase phone at sprint and ask them to put it on my account?

Or maybe if I dig out my old treo 755p and have them activate that? :D Not sure I even have it anymore...
[HTC EVO 3D] Chevyboxer:
If I recall correctly there is a 30 day window from Sprint and the store where you buy the phone. So if you go into Best Buy and buy the phone best buy gives you 30 days to return it or exchange it. Sprint also gives you 30 days to try out new phones under the discounted price. So pay 199 for the NS4G then swap it before 30 days for the EVO 3D and pay nothing.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
If I were you just wait or have a huge chance of getting screwed!

Pre order the EVO and wait.

This is the best advice I can give you and myself.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Again...

If the EVO 3D is not in stock and your 30 days are up you are screwed!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] derek826:
Well if I pre-order and wait, the Evo 3d might come out after the 23 of june and therefor I would not be eligible for the $125 port in credit. Im trying to take andvantage of that.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
If its not out by the time my 30 days is up ill just return the nexus s for full price refund and go to radio shack

Your not screwed unless you keep the phone for 31 days

I have until June 27 to exchange or return the nexus s...

If its not out by then then a return it is...
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Then wait till the last few days before the Evo comes out. That way you have a good month of stock coming in.
[HTC EVO 3D] derek826:
Well it looks like a lot of people here, including me, are hoping for a release date thats not at the end of June. Im hoping it could be on Fathers day because the radioshack training schedule kind of points that way.
[HTC EVO 3D] Levito:
Port in credit

For all of you gentlemen worried about the 6-23 "deadline". I remember back in March the "deadline" was 4-16. T-mo (who i use now pending Evo 3d) is offering the same thing with no "deadline". I believe this is becoming industry standard for the smaller carriers, and that Sprint will keep on extending their "deadline" as they have been doing.

It's pressure selling, just a marketing gimmick. "Get it while supplies last!!!"
[HTC EVO 3D] volcom772:
they couldn't do anything said was liquid damage. from what i don't know

I couldn't wait any longer evo basically died today couldn't even send a text without sending it into a boot loop which when it recovers from always drains the battery so i ordered nexus s. hoping for the 24th release date for that 30 day return just to get me by. 3d already preordered at RS.
[HTC EVO 3D] Andy0682:

[HTC EVO 3D] xadeus:
What is the possibility that they will soft launch the phone for pre-orders? Just wondering cause it would satisfy us Techies and then "officially" launch it later in the month to the masses?
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
That's what I told like 15 reps just give us something if u gotta push it back yes but its like we paid 50$ to no date at all and sprint mostly saying they have no idea

virus kingdom port b112
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
My guess is when the phone is ready to launch it will launch. I think to many people have this assumption like Sprint is playing a game with us. Maybe the phone just isn't ready yet and Sprint really isn't just out to screw us.
[HTC EVO 3D] xadeus:
Sprint overall needs to be alot more forthcoming with information on alot of things that it does, including Phone Launches and 4G expansion. Yet i do understand why they do it, afterall they are trying to compete with the big boys.
[HTC EVO 3D] jessejames111981:
Would you rather them give you info that they change later down the road?

The phone is due out this summer. Last time I checked my calendar summer don't start for 3 more weeks. After that it lasts 3 months. Has sprint mislead us? Who has been assuming June date? US
[HTC EVO 3D] smw6180:
All this whining is driving me crazy. No one was forced to put money down. And anyone who did was TOLD there was no release date. Simply dropping money on a deposit doesn't entitle you to thing except the phone when it arrives. If you people feel you're being treated unfairly, go get your deposit back until a date is announced. Jesus, it's like a bunch of five year olds in here.
[HTC EVO 3D] srb7215:
Don't you think Sprint would want this phone out quickly as well? The longer it sits on the shelf the more money it costs them but they also know they need to release a product that is problem free (or as few bugs as possible). If Sprint released a phone early with a ton of problems, they would get a ton of heat for releasing a phone to quickly.

Look at the other phone companies and tell me how many of them are giving more than a week or so between announcement and release date. In the past few weeks I have seen something like 3-4 phones launched and all of them were 10 days or less. So you are expecting Sprint do to something no one else is doing and with good reason. They probably want to make sure the phone's are fully good to go and they want to stop other companies from having a big release on the same day or even the same week if they can.
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
I would think so but there doing the HTC thing now on fb not talking to people cause there complaining about there lack of marketing ability

virus kingdom port b112
[HTC EVO 3D] phoenx06:
What I don't understand, is what's not ready about it for the people saying "it'll release when it's ready." I have held one in my hands, taken pictures with it, watched part of the Green Hornet 3D, played the 3D games, and everything looked ready to me.
[HTC EVO 3D] WeatherTech:
Not to mention the video from CTIA features the Sprint rep talking about how bug free the initial versions of the phone were and how that was pretty incredible that an early version would be so bug free. She also went on to mention that the final product would be incredible.
[HTC EVO 3D] i-l-l:
I welcome a delay. Reason being that they probably don't have enough stock to have atleast 20-30 phones at every location. I don't feel like standing in line or calling random stores to see if a phone is in stock. If the last 3 flagship launches taught us anything, it's that the demand will be high and the supply was always lacking. The EVO was out of stock for 2-3 weeks after release date.

[HTC EVO 3D] derek826:
Well it looks like were all waiting for June 24th, but who knows they also had a June 4th date at radioshack. But that flyer looks pretty serious and their other flyer that said it will be available for preorder the 5th through 15th. And this also makes sense because Sprints Playbook doesnt include anything through the 23rd of june for the HTC Evo 3d. So a June 24th launch date seems pretty clear.

[HTC EVO 3D] derek826:
Ok so if you saw the Sprint Playbook from last week, you noticed on the calender that today, June 1st, another Sprint Playbook would be released. Has anyone seen it leaked on the internet. It has to be out there and it may hold additional information we need to figure out this stupid release date.
[HTC EVO 3D] smw6180:
They GAVE you info. They said 'I don't know.' If she said 'may/early June' she was wrong, and you were just as wrong to believe her, given that no official word on releases had been given and everyone knows, or should know, that the Sprint sales people don't know any more than their customers.

The bottom line is this: You plunked down 50.00 to pre-order an Evo 3D. This guarantees that you have placed a pre-order and should be among the first in line to get the phone when the stores have them. It guarantees you nothing more than that. It doesn't guarantee you that you're owed a release date. It doesn't guarantee you that rumors on the Internet regarding release dates are true. Hell it doesn't even guarantee you a PHONE. If the store you pre-ordered from doesn't have enough to fill their pre-orders you might get stuck waiting anyhow until the next batch comes in.

It guarantees you NOTHING but a place in line to get the phone. It's a deposit. if you disagree with the way you're being treated, go get your money back and tell your mommy that Sprint didn't play fair. But stop whining all over the forums about how 'unfair' and 'bad business' Sprint is.

Oh and for the record I'm not a "Sprint Cop". I'm ALSO irritated that Sprint still hasn't released a date nor provided a reason for the delay. However unlike you I'm an adult about it and am not *****ing and moaning all over the place about what Sprint 'owes' me for my measly 50.00 deposit.
[HTC EVO 3D] lmbebo:
Well, went by Radio Shack and Best Buy

RS had 3 already on pre order.

BB with 24.

Both said I could pre order the phone and purchase another phone now and when the evo is released (within 30 days) come in and exchange the phone.

Not sure how much I believe it. Best buy was trying to talk me into the Buy Back program ...
[HTC EVO 3D] BigRick10:
I did that last year for the EVO. You have 30 days to return your phone. Of the EVO 3D ends up ringing in at a higher price you just pay the difference.
[HTC EVO 3D] lmbebo:
I think I'll place a pre order as well at Best Buy. They said its refundable. My gift card at Sprint is not. I can prob use the gift card to pay a bill or get accessories?

Then pick up a nexus s closer towards the end of the month when the evo 3d is supposed to be released. They said I wouldn't lose my pre order if I bought another phone (like Sprint). And then exchange it hoepfully within 30 days.

Right now I'm feeling naked and really itching to get a new phone. Sold and shipped my iphone 4. Using an old palm pixi. So different ...
