[EVO 4G General] ElAguila:
So that $150 off they mention is for agreeing to a 2 year contract and not using your upgrade rebate? That would mean you could get it for $49 after the mail-in rebate if you are eligible for the upgrade rebate. That would be a great price!
[EVO 4G General] unknown_owner:
Time was just right!!! A friend of my who gave me golf clubs wants to buy them back from me for $500 and he said that he still owes me $200 for something I completely forgot about. He says I should have it in 2 weeks. Talk about timing!

And thanks for the tip about wirefly and amazon. Question for you though: were those prices including the 2yr contract?
[EVO 4G General] keatre:
No. The phone will cost you $199 if you are a new customer, or $199 if you are upgrading.
[EVO 4G General] ihakr:
outright...

I hope that I can cancel the 4G plan, because I don't have 4G in my area, and wont for the next few years.....
[EVO 4G General] keatre:
Sprint is claiming the +$10 is not for 4G, but rather for "heavy multimedia use." If you buy the phone, you're paying $10/month.

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] demster:
Such a shame for someone to post the above... search first!

However, I have a few options for you: look over here or over here.

Personally, I'd go for the one in my signature ;)

Good luck!

last week i bought the only 2 hd2/leos with in a 50+ mile radius of my area for me and my girlfriend. I was over joyed to finally have one of these beautiful devices and was on top of the world! about 2 hours ago my world came crashing down with a devastating phone call from my girlfriend.

"Hey ummm I just dropped my phone and the screen cracked into a million pieces"

i thought she was over exaggerating about it thinking it was 1 big crack and told her to send me a picture of the phone and, she sent this.

​
[HD2 General] rlee008:
OUCH!!

did the LCD crack too or is it just the glass/digitizer?

i read on some thread here that if you send it into HTC to get fixed its gonna run you $320 + ... :(

but if you are handy and know what ur doing, you can get what you need to fix it... at, EBAY

[HD2 General] malias4:
man !!! my heart broke:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

hope you find a way to fix it without spending a fortune...
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
man thats bad, i feel for you, bet you wish you had insurrance
[HD2 General] jcp2000:
ouch! 300+ usda for htc to fix it!? wow that is alot of money almost the price of the device its self!

Im thinking its just the glass since she was texting with it and its operating fine. thank you for all the links i am in need of replacement glass so i can sell it and salvage some kind of money from it.

lol if she cheated on me then i would deff leave her but this is little compared to that! aha i will stay with her and, to top it all off she actually cried cause she broke it and knew i would be angry with her lol.

with the links rlee008 gave me im hoping its a cheap fix!

thanks and since this happened we added insurance for them and i was told the deductible is about 130-150 usda. now i have to work hard to repair this one or get a new one. "sigh"
[HD2 General] Ecosta1975:
Damn!!!!....I just wrote an email to my wife saying....Babe, please don't let this happen to ya'. She replied the email saying, "I bet you rather pay HTC whatever they charge to repair the phone than a lawyer for our divorce...xoxo"

I replied, "you're right honey..." :(

Good luck man....I hope you can get a new one soon or fix that one.
[HD2 General] rlee008:
Ouch, if shes replying to you like that then you're already in the dog-house... lol, one crack away from a divorce... it's usually something more serious
[HD2 General] jcp2000:
aha wow time to suck up to her hes already threatening!

thanks alot im hoping i can too i might even sell it as is to someone im sure someone will still buy it but i dont want to deal with the lowball offers.

yea this would be the time i would start kissing up to her! aha good thing my girlfriend already agreed to a prenupt if we ever get married :p
[HD2 General] jagger2k:
This is what is just what am worried about when i have mine out. I just wouldnt know what to do.

I think its only fair she pays for the damages. lol.
[HD2 General] jcp2000:
just heared the whole story from my girlfriend her brother is going to be the one paying for the damages. they were goofing around he shoved her and it fell out of her hands.

If he doesnt pay for the device to be fixed or replaced im guessing he and i are going to have a good old fashion scuffle :D
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
i think he still needs a slap lolol
[HD2 General] xlr8me:
Finish her:)
[HD2 General] jcp2000:
i wanted to beat him up but she insisted i shouldnt touch him aha.

lol the video
[HD2 General] jagger2k:
I think she should take it on he behalf in that case:D
[HD2 General] Wrathlon:
This is why my GF is banned from touching my stuff.
[HD2 General] Rahonavis:
i'd bolt him one too, after he had payed for the repair..

just to let him know.. :D
[HD2 General] malias4:

[HD2 General] jcp2000:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] version1:
I've been researching this for the last while and could not find a way to do this myself. The sprint hero radio available so far all use the HDR hardware id type of MEID for evdo data authentication, whereas my carrier use the hwid type of ESN. So, if anyone has any knowledge of modding radio images can help with this, I'd really appreciate it.

Basically what's discussed in this thread:

forum.revskills.de/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=111
[Hero CDMA Android Development] version1:
any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jerry43812:
dont look like it, but i do wish you luck with your search.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] PlayOn1:
Hello i'm new android user.I was wondering what more will 2.1 update give me.If someone can explain me i will be very pleased.Thank you.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Psycho77:
I dont know that much about 2.1 but thats what im looking for:

VPN (Which i need)

unlock touch pattern (whatever you call it)

More applications from Market

Speed (especially the dialer)

Cooler overall for sure, with the live background stuff.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] graculusthegreenbird:
Proper bluetooth! Finally!

So you can bluetooth photos and music to another phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] puckoon:
Working bluetooth

So I can finally use the blasted thing in my car instead of my 2006 xda, and stop getting my coat when my mates are passing por* erm files around
[Hero, G2 Touch General] harsha_aithal:
list

Bluetooth

3D Gallary (In some ROMs)

Much Better Integration of Social Nets in Contacts

Lot of A2.1 Dedicated Apps in the Market

Market it self.

Navigation

Googles

Sound Input

Some stability and performance

etc etc etc

EDIT: Not to forget Live Wallpapers(in Some ROMs) and Enriched Camera.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] chrisbramm:
Navigation is the big one that will make a difference I feel
[Hero, G2 Touch General] madduckuk:
overclocked 2.1 is going to be :D:D:D
[Desire Accessories] zzleezz:
Bought these from Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000R6QAHO/ref=oss_product

They finally arrived today! Couple of days late but heyho.

First off - they are TINY!!! Speaker unit comes in a nice little carry pouch and its small enough to chuck in a bag on your way to the beach.

Bluetooth reciever detaches from the speakers and can act as a reciever for headphones (some background hiss, but nothing amazingly bad, doesnt seem much point plugging in headphones this way as the phone is usually pretty close anyway :P ). This part also acts as the mic for the speakerphone function, not tested it that way yet.

With the bluetooth reciever docked in the speaker unit I tried playing some Gorillaz, and for something sooo small im impressed! I can see this being used in the kitchen instead of listening to the radio, or maybe in the bathroom, its perfect for smallish rooms.

Speakers run from batteries too (4 AAA) not sure how well it will sound outside but for this much money and this much functionality I think its an amazing bargain.

One thing that others have pointed out in reviews is that the bluetooth reciever can be plugged into a decent stereo unit giving you a wireless way of playing your music through your high end systems.

As for how well it works with the Desire, perfect so far! No problem pairing, didnt even ask for the 0000 passcode. With the speakers switched on and the reciever docked I turn on my Desires bluetooth and the speakers give a couple of soft beeps to signal that its connected (once paired it auto connects). Works just how you would want it to. Couldnt get out of range from one end of the house to the other so range is good.

All in all I would recommend these.
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Evo 4g - $199.99 after $100 rebate. The hotspot will be $29.99 a month and the phone will have a mandatory $10.00 charge ontop of the plan for the 4g.
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
Is that price new, or upgrade?
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Looks like both.
[Hero CDMA General] notasimpleway:
How can it be both? lol

And maybe some indie Sprint dealers will do the rebate for you. I bought my Hero from an independent dealer and the owner paid the rebate for me, so I only had to front the 200 bucks. :D
[Hero CDMA General] Leukay:
LOL. Its the upgrade price...
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Does not specify a difference between new or upgrading price
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Says who? ....
[Hero CDMA General] notasimpleway:
Isn't the upgrade price normally more at launch than signing up as a new customer? I have never bought a phone at launch. But for some reason I remember most phones being more for existing.
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Normally but it appears the price will be the same for all

"$199.99 After $100 mail-in rebate. Requires new-line activation (or eligible upgrade) on select plans and a two year Agreement."
[Hero CDMA General] pgreptom:
I've read the $10 charge is only for areas where 4g is available(since it is currently only 27 areas). Otherwise, it will not be charged for.
[Hero CDMA General] bbv203:
Damn $450 for those of not upgrade eligible......That or wait until December.....
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
A lot of things will be "heard". Im sure you are right, however nothing else has been specified except what I wrote.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
what? no way without an upgrade discount it will only be $200... more like $700 you mean.
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
Sweet, I just got the email from Sprint. I wonder what the cost without a new contract will be.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
it will be more retail than $450, the hero retail now is still $479. id bank on between $600-$800 without an upgrade or discount.
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
He asked if that was new customers or upgrading, I said both
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
yeah im due for an upgrade in november, so ill hold onto my hero until then. now that im layed off i just can't see spending that kind of $$. if the legend comes out for sprint i may have to look into that phone instead, im sure it would be cheaper.
[Hero CDMA General] drbgotenks:
Phone Offer: While supplies last. $449.99 - $150.00 (two-year activation) - $100.00 (mail-in rebate) = $199.99 (final price)

This is what is says in the small print at the bottom of the email
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
my bad, im having a **** day today.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
how the hell is this phone "retail" cheaper than the hero is selling for 'retail"?
[Hero CDMA General] bbv203:
From the fine print in the email: "May require up to a $36 activation fee/line, credit approval and deposit. Up to $200 early termination fee/line applies. Phone Offer: While supplies last. $449.99 - $150.00 (two-year activation) - $100.00 (mail-in rebate) = $199.99 (final price). Mail-in Rebate: Requires activation at the time of purchase. Line must be active 30 consecutive days. Allow 10 to 14 weeks for rebate. Upgrade: Existing customers in good standing with service on the same device for more than 22 consecutive months currently activated with a service plan of $39.99 or higher may be eligible. See in-store rebate form, sprint.com/upgrade for details."
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Sprint is smart and will steal a lot of business.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
yeah you guys will have to qualify for that deal, most of us would pay a **** ton more.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
i think it's a promotion, i doubt the phone will stay at that price. i mean the ****ty tp2 retailed for over $600 when it first came out.
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Looks solid to me here at work
[Hero CDMA General] MILH0U5E:
So now the question...

What comes first, EVO or 2.1 for Hero?
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
just makes no sense to have one of the highest spec phones be cheaper than the low spec phones they currently have. get my point? it's a limited time promo me thinks. either that or someone slapped someone in sprint silly and they came to their senses about their overpriced phones.
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
Awesome, I'll pay $450 in a heartbeat.
[Hero CDMA General] bbv203:
Also, $199 price....activation on SELECT service plan and PREMIUM DATA BUY-UP, for rebate phone must be purchased by June 5th and activated by June 19th

http://now.sprint.com/evo/?INTCID=AB:UEU:HERO:041110:EvoPL:960x320
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
yup, you guys gotta read the fine.....print. goodbye sero users, this won't go over well for some.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
yeah? and i bet if you don't have "perfect' credit it will be alot more. ;)
[Hero CDMA General] tejasrichard:
I think sprint is finally getting smart. With the evo's specs and those crazy prices, they will be stealing customers left and right. Hell, I think the droid is still going for $199.
[Hero CDMA General] bbv203:
AFAIK nobody ever got a SERO plan working with Hero, Moment, Pre etc, I think the last one was TP2 which could explain the $600 price tag
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
well they need to get even smarten and lower the retail prices of the lesser spec phones too. not everyone will be getting an evo.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
true but i think tp2 users were able to use sero. hence this is why alot of people didn't go android, they want to keep their cheap/legacy plan active for as long as possible. you really can't blame them in today's economy.
[Hero CDMA General] OtisFeelgood:
Where did you get that $450 price from?

Edit: Nevermind, its at the bottom of my email. My upgrade isnt til october but I might just pay the full price if its only $450.
[Hero CDMA General] Joecrack305:
hero is not 470 anymore it changed to 430 about 2 weeks ago, and sprint never increases the prices on the full retail of a phone. and 450 thats cake im an employee so i cant buy it at the store so im going to best buy or the shack
[Hero CDMA General] bbv203:
That's what I said :D I wasn't around for SERO but with 25% off and $20/24 my 1500 plan with 2 lines is $95 a month with insurance and taxes. So I can't ***** much
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
I have beyond perfect credit, so I'm not concerned about that. Also, I believe that all good credit will get you is a waved activation fee.

Anyway, $450 is a steal.
[Hero CDMA General] bbv203:
Fine print in the email: May require up to a $36 activation fee/line, credit approval and deposit. Up to $200 early termination fee/line applies.

[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
link to back that up? i was just at sprint and the hero & moment were both $479 retail.
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Thats the point, y buy another phone? Sell the evo and its addons while its hot
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
i have 2 phones and 1500 minutes, unlimited text/ internet so im all set. plus i get 27% off my bill on top of an extra $20 per bill for the **** i went through with them the past year. :D

but sero is still a cheap but good plan to have for people on a tight budget.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
maybe because like me, some people don't want the evo? if your trying to tell me they will abandon the hero & moment only 7 months after their release, ill find that hard to believe.
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Sorry wrong thread
[Hero CDMA General] bbv203:
It says 429.99 on the website

http://shop.sprint.com/NASApp/onlinestore/en/Action/DisplayPhones?INTNAV=ATG:HE:Phones

Instant savings	-$230.00

Mail-in Rebate	-$100.00

[Hero CDMA General] Joecrack305:
the **** are you talking to? i work at sprint i know what im talking about, so gtfo here with that bs.
[Hero CDMA General] Joecrack305:
thank you! some people are to retarted or blind to read the 430 price on sprint.com
[Hero CDMA General] notasimpleway:
How much do you think we will be able to get for our Heroes once they all go on Ebay? I mean the market will be flooded. :D But serious question.
[Hero CDMA General] andy_iskate:
its dumb though the evo is the sickest phone but 4g is almost no where :( and it cost extra to have it ?? thats pretty lame to me
[Hero CDMA General] laufine:
I also have the same worry.

If we sell our heros on the market, we won't even get 50 bucks for one device.
[Hero CDMA General] bbv203:
Sprint will buy it back for $80 right now, lol
[Hero CDMA General] OtisFeelgood:
Just found out Daytona Beach and Orlando is getting 4G this summer. I'm definitely getting the EVO. :o
[Hero CDMA General] trindy:
I dont understand how they can tack on an extra 10 bucks for 4g when it's only in a few select citys. Can they do that?
[Hero CDMA General] bob2300nx:
Only costs more if 4g is in your area.
[Hero CDMA General] bbv203:
Pretty sure it will only be if you want the ability to use 4g
[Hero CDMA General] jonesdana:
Seriously...

Who gives a **** if our Hero's are worth nothing... I will just keep as a spare. Who gives a **** if 4G isn't in your market... This is the sickest phone ever. I will gladly pay 450.00 out of contract. You only need to meet the other requirements if you want the full discounts and rebates... I doubt Sprint will force you to pay the $10.00 out of coverage, but even if they do... For the SICKEST phone in the world... i will gladly pay. Y'all a bunch of cheap skates... lookin for the best and not wanting to pay for it.
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
I wonder how hot the damn phone will get if using it to tether other devices. My Hero gets hot pretty damn fast with 1 device.
[Hero CDMA General] trindy:
No disrespect sir but I'm not a cheap skate. I have 4 upgrades on my account collecting dust, waiting for the EVO to come out. I dont have a problem paying for the phones. I DO have a problem paying extra for a service that I dont have access to.
[Hero CDMA General] magicalan:
so hm will have hotspot for 29.99 or tether for free? (is it possible?) i been wondering since i knew about the 4g like after its rooted..
[Hero CDMA General] jonesdana:
None taken... but seriously, look at other carriers. Some data plans for one phone is more than others, some phones REQUIRE data plans when people only want them for texting... Its all relative. And 10 dollars a month... skip MickeyD's one day a month and your covered!

Again, I would be surprised if Sprint would charge the service fee for out of market customers... Unless there is no way to disable it. Then it makes sense that if the phone enters a 4G area it will have default access and they need to have revenue to cover the usage.

EDIT::: Even at an extra $10/mo for 4G whether its used or not... SPRINT IS STILL WAY CHEAPER THAN ATT / VERIZON.
[Hero CDMA General] jonesdana:
WiFi Tether is built in to the stock ROM/image
[Hero CDMA General] magicalan:
so why have hotspot when you can get it for free?
[Hero CDMA General] bbv203:
Multiple connections
[Hero CDMA General] jonesdana:
My bad... I seen a couple weeks ago that WiFi tether was going to be built in for up to 8 connections... I missed the earlier post that HS would be an extra 29/mo... So, give it a couple weeks after the phone is released and I am sure one of the local dev geniuses on here will have root for the EVO and we can WiFi tether again at NO COST!!!
[Hero CDMA General] magicalan:
yeah thats what i was thinking hehe :)
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
I bet it wont be that easy.. But somewhere down the line it would happen. Im sure sprint has a way of connecting to the 4g that unless your paying for the service it wont send out a 4g signal only receive it.
[Hero CDMA General] jonesdana:
I am just talking about 3G tethering... like we have now.
[Hero CDMA General] jovera:
$449.99 for actual customer the $199.99 is for new custumer and if you have 22 month with the same phone.
[Hero CDMA General] Sporkman:
when can we pre order lol
[Hero CDMA General] cmccracken:
The 4G is a separate radio from the CDMA/3G. My guess is that it activates separately as well (different ESN, etc...). That would let them only sell you the 4G if its available, and keep you from using it when you travel without subscribing.

I'll be curious to see how the hotspot works in the OS. Its just a matter of getting a wifi driver that works in infrastructure (AP) mode, and natting it out to the 4G radio. Seems hack-able if the driver support is there already.

Personally, though, I've had it with Sprint and the Google/HTC/Android support clusterf*ck. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a Verizon 4G (LTE) iPhone to drop this summer. Android is a far better OS in principal and in implementation, but its a disaster from a distribution/support point of view. I want to buy a device that I know will be supported throughout its useful life. The Hero has been out for less than a year, and is already obsolete due to app compatibility (and Sprint/HTC seem to be impotent to resolve that issue).
[Hero CDMA General] Sporkman:
any word on pre order
[Hero CDMA General] grifforama:
22 MONTHS !!!

**** that
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
No words as of yet. Employees will receive an additional 20% off, yay me!
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
Well i was talkin more about the hotspot thing.. Like you can receive and use the network but not send out a 4g connection for others to run on. Like the one guy said, im sure its hackable, but it wont be 2 weeks after the phones out.
