KO, give it up, you keep trying to decide if you should signcontract or not.

Sign the contract and save.

Phone = $550, Phone savings with contract = $350.

Take $350 put in special savings account

Example 1 year from now you don’t want phone or want toupgrade to next phone, buy out contract (pro-rated), say $175.

= Win $175 saved. Notsure what the pro-rated percentages are, but regardless you are still payingless for phone.

You like me, both need new phone because it is available andbetter, reasoning both just want it.

I am with you about buying used / eBay or Craigslist, butfor 2-4 months the going rate will not make sense vs. just buying new. Also I don’t want to wait.

Anyway, I will be signing new contract. Given that HTC is offering $100 for oldphone, I decided to give them my very old Blackberry Curve 8330 instead of LTE J, credit will still be$100…lol. I will be waiting for theBlack, it’s killing me since I want to pre-order so bad.

I’m with you on the contract, but from a financialstandpoint it only makes sense to sign contract. Cheers and see you over on the One forumssoon!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
Thank you bro.... Very informational. I waited for the 3d on craigslist, but I can't wait for the one... Just like I couldn't wait for LTEVO

I've got mine pre-ordered with a contract upgrade this time around.

I purchased my EVO 4G LTE for $480 the day it came out, so I will not be selling it off for $100. I'll likely keep it for some project or something. Or I might just end up giving it to a friend, depending on what happens. Either way though, I'm not giving it to Sprint.

I'll be putting the Spigen Ultra Thin Air (Crystal Clear) case to keep it safe without hiding it in a colored case. It also comes with a screen protector, so I'll be all set, and I'll likely get that before I even get the phone lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] champ052005:
Don't want this to sound shady at all, so I can remove this comment if need be but:

Can't you basically get this phone for free? A pre order at best buy qualifies you for $50 best buy gift card. Best buy offers you $100 for EVO LTE. And HTC offers you $100 for an old smartphone.

Sooo....you basically get $50. Just thought of this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eric00716:
Great idea if you want but you should be able to sell the lte on craigslist for 200 easy. Never hurts to work the system.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Good point. But that only works if you're upgrade eligible, right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Delakit:
Correct. You'll still get the $90 for your LTE if they decide its condition is good enough, and the gift card even if you buy retail though. Then you can use their financing. But new contract will obviously give you the best deal.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] trsix:
g. card

U had to sign up for that b buy g. Card awhile back I believe.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njspank:
The term "old specs" is subjective because there is always something that comes out that, on paper, is better than your current device. I didn't want to have to buy it at full price but really didn't think too much about trying to figure my way around the full price purchase point. But if all fails, I my just buy out my remainign contract, sell my LTE for about $200, and end up paying about $200 for the HTC One or GS4.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] champ052005:
It is still letting you sign up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Harfainx:
Newegg is still doing $129 for the One, with free one day FedEx shipping. Unfortunately, it shows as "Next Business Day", so it looks like Monday would be the delivery day. I'm going to see about getting Saturday pickup at my local FedEx facility. Newegg told me that they'll be shipping the phones from Largo, MD.

The person I talked to couldn't tell me the number of phones that they'll be receiving, but they did assure me that the first batch will ship on the 19th.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
Personally I wanted the ONE but knowing that a s800 device is right around the corner I decided to wait. Of course I'm sure Qualcomm's next CPU is right around the corner too so I may wait for the s1000. Probably have killer specs and as long as the s1200 doesn't destroy it spec wise I'd go for that.

But then again I bet the specs of the s1400 will be equal to a nuclear device so maybe that is where I will be.;)

Oh that bump in my cheek may be my tongue. ;)

Next EVO will be a Samsung watch
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Atticustrd:
Has anyone compared the evo lte with the one yet? I still don't think it's worth an upgrade.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevinsturf:
Just pre-ordered the S4. Now I'll have the best of both worlds, since Sense 5 is basically all the One is offering for me and I'll have a fully functioning one on my EVO LTE soon enough (The ported version is amazing btw!!) and I'll have sammy with all the new features!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
If you think sense 5 is all the One offers, you definitely deserve a Sammy plastic device lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] magicalan:
Well I am, but I was expecting it to get here today.

now this happens..

:(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sand1303:
I will check it out. Been away from xda for a little bit. I got bored with my evo lte and stopped playing with it. My upgrade is available next month so that is why I am looking around again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MARIO SHARK:
What color are you guys getting
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sand1303:
Well I thought there would be no way I would use my upgrade on another variant of the variant I already have but it looks pretty awesome.

Not feeling the silver though. I need to check it out in black
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firmbiz94:
My phones have all pretty much been black ..I think I might go fir silver this time around ..esp since its available from release hopefully ...unlike thebwhite evos that came out a few months after release...speaking of release I'm surprised there still isn't an announcement about the release date
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thlinx:
This will sound awful but hear me out lol.. I to get a new phone every year but I just bought an iPad mini so for me its pointless ..

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
Boooo!!!!! Why in the world would you buy an iPad, or anything Apple for that matter!? There are a few Android tablets that are superior to the iPad too. If you just wanted a tablet smaller than the 10.1 that many Android tablets are, you could have gotten the Nexus 7. Or if you wanted to wait a couple months, you could have picked up the Nexus 7 HD or the Samsung Note 8 which will be released soon. Anyway, I'm not gonna keep going on about it. Though you had to know that you were stirring the pot by posting in an Android forum about you buying an iPad Mini. LOL
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Why would anyone buy an iPad? Better developer support obviously. Android tablets are treated like toys by most companies. Then there is the fragmentation problem that comes from an open platform supported through so many different companies that constantly add on "x" feature so they can try and compete with other companies offering the same hardware/software. I hate apple products and I see no need for a tablet but sad to say if I required one I would be trying to climb into that walled garden
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MARIO SHARK:
im rethinking my decision about getting the htc one. is it really worth the $600-$700 to buy a phone that you could potentially already have on the evo 4g lte? i'm sure that we'll be getting the sense 5 update, meaning only the hardware will make the One better. i'll see, but the fact that sense 5 will be coming to us in the next couple months or so, i'm not so sure I need the One.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
Just one mans opinion, but to me the One is nothing like the LTE. They aren't even similar. But to each his own.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MARIO SHARK:
Well the hardware for the One is a huge improvement, so I guess you're right
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
The curved back of the one looks really comfortable to hold, unlike the painfully, slippery, flat LTE. Also, the amount of development will be staggering (go look), as it is released on multiple carriers.

From my Evo LTE, yup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MARIO SHARK:
That's a good point. Fortunately I have a case to replace that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
Don't be so sure about the development. Sprints note 2 seems to be lacking compared to other carrier note 2's..on the outside the HTC One looks the same but the insides are where the difference lies. These are pretty much 3 different phones..Only time will tell I guess. Can't wait to get my mits on the One.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
The Samsung fanboys said the same thing about the Evo 4g lte. They said there would be no development but yet they were wrong and will be wrong about the one as well. I would expect to see great development.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
One of the drives of upgrading early ( for me) is a festering annoyance for a lacking or subpar function or upgrade, during the 12 months of owning the phone that is beyond an XDA tweak.

The Hero: Chipping buttons, no camera flash & the arrival of the EVO.

The OG Evo: Ram, graphics lacking.

The Evo 3D: Slooooooow Camera & updates.

The LTE: Happy, finally. With the exception of falling short of it's name as of this date, location & network icon.

8 months in & its looking good.

No real desire for more...... right now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
This post baffles me, as there is virtually no development to speak of for this device . (Those who ARE developing for this device, please don't mistake that for a jab, cuz really it just means you're that much more important and appreciated). Maybe my metric for development is skewed, though, since my first experience with android development was the OG Evo (from launch day, and that device has a couple hundred pages of development and is still being aggressively developed, while our device has 2 pages (or something like that).

Please, no developers take this as ingratefulness, or say 'then develop yourself'. I Dont have the basic skills necessary for development, nor the hardware (I Dont have a comp with web service so I couldn't try to compile from a git if I wanted to).

From my Evo LTE, yup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
+1

The ones we do have developing for the device are awesome! .but I was also spoiled by the OG Evo. The 3D had little development and it's the same for this phone. The QG Evo had pages of roms, ports, themes, themed roms, mods..it was awesome. I don't think any single phone will be that great again. HTC has made it hard to theme apparently as well.

I used to spend hours on XDA everyday..now I spend a few hours a week. Android is polished, rom devs are experienced. Things are smooth for the most part, but it has also become slightly boring. =\
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dre22era:
EVO LTE had and still has great development

my only gripe is that MikG failed big time

he never dropped his joint
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flex360:
What we need are less people hoping and voicing what little devs we have, read, learn and contribute a Rom. Add the number of devs if its not enough for you.

Sitting and reminiscing about og EVO will do nothing. This LTE forum is not dev friendly anyway. I have so many haters its not even funny. Personally I've never seen so many ungrateful people who just wants to browse all day and flash roms, and dont want to contribute to the community.

So give thanks to the people who dedicate their free time to share their work with you guys.

When I get the chance I will jump ship, not to the htc one though. Kinda happy with my setup right now

The other day sinister released a Rom and everyone down voted it to 1 star in no time. Talk about being grateful -___-
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Flex, you just got more haters lo-kinda-l. I know in my post, I tried to give huge thanks to the devs we DO have, and pointed out why I'm not in a position (hardware wise or knowledge wise to contribute much). I was simply puzzled how one could say we have tons of development (nothing Moe, nothing less). The facts Dont support it. As for you and haters, well, that goes way back, And it's not a mystery.

From my Evo LTE, yup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] david279:
It the buy up program dead? My contract is over may 1 and i want to move that up a bit.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kkamichetty:
Im in the middle of the contract.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
Don't think so.

You have 22 Months for full upgrade, if I got that right, it should be 2 months before the actual end of the contract.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] david279:
Yea may 1st is my 22 month period.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jeffsanace:
I have 4 lines, 2 are up April 1st and 2 on June 1st. Customer service told me if I wanted to upgrade the later 2 it would be an additional $50 each for early upgrade.

Bad Seed Customs

Just Sick!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] david279:
I may just have to make a call...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flex360:
I'm not saying we have tons of development. We have enough to be grateful for. We have cm10.1, and a bunch of sense roms

Remember that development section is now split in 2 forums, so it might look like a little when its actually a lot if you combine both forums
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
I've had all three eVos now. I gotta say, it's the quality of the devs not quantity that keeps me around. Quantity of roms and such to me means a lot are the same, or suck. I'm not a rom hopper. I find a rom that I feel has the most to offer and best devs, and is fully functional and stick with it. Who cares if the Sprint sgs3 has 10 more or whatever different roms than us, they can't be that different. And the kernel chef, who isn't even on xda for these eVo phones is amazing. Don't know what anyone is talking about poor development on the 3d. I still got that phone pumped up running great. Inbreaded with an anthrax kernel is amazing, hittin 4100+ quadrants. My cuz is extremely happy still with that. And I'm probably not even getting a new phone this yr. This is the interesting time of these phones, where u can really max it out. Totally happy with this eVo.

I'm not good enough to develop a rom but I guarantee that, myself as well as many of team 420 will contribute to making themed elements for the roms that will exists. And yes, I will be getting the htc one when it becomes available to me :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BBJon:
No SD card slot? Really??

I'm not sure why designers are going away from physical memory expansion slots? Is it to make you buy the high end phone? Or is it to make it more "stylish" or make it look more like an "iPhone"? IDK, but unless something else changes, I'll probably hold off. Two strikes for me, the "live tiles" type UI that cant' be turned off and no SD card support.

I like my LTE just fine. I think there is good DEV out there for the phone. I have switched to a couple of different ROMs lately, though mostly because my Google Navigation doesn't work. I was hoping it was a ROM thing, and not a Google thing, but the more I read, the more I think it's inherit flaw in the Jelly Bean source code. I wish I had the skills necessary to develop, but I'm an old dog and probably unable to lean any new tricks :) I doubt my basic programming skills will do much for ROM development!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rocklee99:
Nah, not switching, these devs are good, and theres no reason to switch now, not good enough to have to spend more money on, would rather give that money to the devs here
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NateN34:
The HTC One is VERY cool, but nope....... won't be moving to this.

The biggest issue I have with it, is no SD card slot. What on earth am I supposed to do with my 64 gig memory card, if I get rid of the EVO?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eg1122:
Use it on a tablet or camera
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ares1105:
I don't think I'll switch. HTC has it hard enough to do stuff to our phones, i figure it'll only be worse.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Delakit:
For those of you who still think there will be an EVO to be released:

"Liked EVO? Here comes the One

With its live home screen, superior camera and heart-pounding sound, the HTC One takes high-tech to a new level. Revolutionize your photo album, transform the way you hear music and get live streaming. Want to know when the One becomes available? We'll give you the heads-up."

You can probably assume that THIS (the 'One') is pretty much the 'new EVO.' Personally, I'll be leaving HTC's side when my contract is up. Hell, I'll probably say 'peace out' to Sprint in the process. Just my 2 cents.

You guys zee the development they already got in their forum? I want it wicked bad, but not enough to buy it off contract.

Edit: just realized I should clarify, my statement is not a statement for or against, or comparing in any way, development here. Just pointing out, it seems pretty active with broad support. Hopefully HTC sticks with the singular marketing strategy.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CrazyTechnoBoy:
I'm probably switching over to the One. But I'm still not sure whether to stay on Sprint or go over to the T-mobile side. The only reason I'm a bit hesitant from switching is because I'm used to having a bunch of Sprint-only developers who develop the great ROMs I use and love. Regardless, I was still have the One and not the S4. I went over to the S4 subforum on accident and I was almost convinced that I should get the S4 instead. But naa, I decided that the One is better (personally). Besides, the HTC community is much more friendly. ;)

Samsung managed a 5" screen without making the S4 any bigger than the S3, heck they made the S4 slimmer.

And considering the S3/S4 isn't all that bigger than the One, with Samsung being a little shorter, a tiny bit wider, and a whole bunch thinner... I am very disappointed HTC couldn't manage 5".
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
Perhaps HTC didn't want to make a 5 inch phone. They are releasing a 5.5 inch phone later in the year. So they might have wanted to distinguish between the 2.

Easy solution for you is to get the sgs4 ...I can say ..I'm disappointed the gs4 is still all plastic ..but it is ...they have different designs ...and whether or not the frame is bigger a bigger screen still is bigger and is harder to use in some cases ..bigger doesn't always mean better ...to me the one is the clear winner here ..better screen , much louder stereo speakers and a beautiful design that turns heads ..so go join the sgs4 herd and enjoy your "perfect" phone ...since your disappointed and all ...don't mention all the great things about it ..just the lack of .3 inches
