FlyingCheese posted:Hasn't the port credit bonus been extended before? Or am I thinking of some other deal? It ran from February to March and stopped, then came back in late April. Just like sprint instant rebates keep getting extended, it possibly could. Just no guarantee, and personally I doubt it. We shall know before the 24th for sure.

When will reviews for the Evo 3D start rolling in? Holding off on preordering until I can read up a bit more on it.

hotsauce posted:So if I want to break contract from ATT and get an EVO 3D, the best way would be to get a phone currently on Sprint by the 23rd to qualify for the $125 credit, then swap to the EVO 3d (assuming it's in stock) and eat the $35 fee? So, I will then have $90 to apply to my ATT rape fee for canceling, right? Is ther a better way to maneuver this? I think you could also get a cheap phone of craigslist and open a line with it that will be eligible for an upgrade right away.

big mean giraffe posted:Yeah, not only is it Samsung so automatically a 'don't go near it,' but the Evo 3D has 3D, and it's guaranteed to have a great third-party support, being HTC. Also, the EVO 3D will be in the Telesales system on June 19th. For those who were worried about the port-in credit ending on the 23rd, you should be able to take care of it a few days early.

It's getting a lot of discussion here, so for the sake of reminding people of the oddly strict requirements, you need to go to the switch-to-sprint website and register for your credit within 72 hours of activating your new phone.

One of the main reasons (other than Sense 3 being really, really nice) I plan on sticking to a stock rooted ROM on the Evo 3D. Delicious 3D goodness. Even if it's kind of gimmicky it's still cool as hell to show off.

Even if it's kind of gimmicky it's still cool as hell to show off. I'm kind of torn on this, but specifically with Rosie. I want to use it for all the eye candy, but Launcher Pro just does so much more. My biggest gripe at this point is how a 4.3 inch 960x540 screen is still a 4x4 grid. There's so much wasted space between that, and only having phone, app drawer, and personalize buttons along the bottom.

Yeah, but telesales told me I could have a delayed port on the 19th, when my ATT contract ends, and just register for the credit then. I could just use a temporary number until then. Hope that's accurate.

However on a Sense 3.0 device you have to sacrifice form or function, you can't have both. But at least we have a choice and we're not stuck with whatever they decide is best.

I'm sure this has been discussed a bunch but I'm a retarded baby. I'm on original SERO right now. I know I need to call that employee care number and upgrade to SERO Premium to get the Evo 3D. My main concern is, how can I get an Evo 3D on release date? I have the 2 year upgrade discount available so I don't want to walk into just any store and pay full price for it.

datajosh posted:The just announced Photon 4G might outperform it just because of the Tegra 2 chipset but I don't think anyone knows for sure yet. But then there's the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy S II that will probably outperform both of those. And after that, the unannounced Nexus 3 (that Sprint will hopefully get at launch this time) will probably blow all of them out of the water. I'm in dire need of a new phone since the pre I've had since I worked for Sprint is starting to really not work properly, but I'm thinking of just grabbing a used EVO off craigslist to get me through until all of these are out and I can make a good comparison.

Hope that's accurate. You should be fine, and especially if they told you and notated it on the account, no worries. For everyone switching, the port link is: https://www.sprint.com/switchtosprint If you work in public sector, the link to get the extra $50 is: sprint.com/50promo It is a seperate promo, you MUST register both if you qualify.

If her account doesn't currently have the $10 smartphone fee, using her upgrade will probably trigger it. Edit: oh if you're giving her an EVO, then it doesn't matter anyway.

Alman posted:I feel like a 3D gui will be developed at some point, but for now it's just pictures, videos, and apps. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the glasses-free 3D tech can only be viewed in one orientation (in the EVO 3D's case, landscape). Not that this totally precludes a 3D UI, just that it would only appear 3D if you were viewing it in landscape. Again this is just a slightly educated guess, so I might be completely wrong.

If I buy a new phone on a family plan is there just one $10 smartphone fee, or is there a fee for each line? Am I going to throw $50 on my bill each month by upgrading one phone?

I don't think many people are buying the Evo 3d for the 3d capability. Most people are just buying it because it's an HTC with a dual-core processor and boat loads of memory. The 3d portion of it is just an added bonus. I'm not really concerned with the limited functionality of the 3d.

Its per line. If only you upgrade to a new smartphone on a 5-line plan, the increase would be $10. If all 5 people activate a new smartphone, the increase will be $50 total, $10 per line.

I was so ready to jump on the EVO 3D bandwagon, then I watched the engadget review on the Samsung Galaxy S II. It's lightning fast, has a nicer screen than the iPhone4, and the tilt to zoom function looks loving awesome! I also love the way the menu and back touch buttons fade away after using them. BUT, its expose view looks almost choppy, and your default home screen is the very left tile instead of the middle one like Sense does. I wonder if you can change that...

Especially if they're 1080p instead of 720 (likely 720 though) While I can't speak for the private sector, in the industry, 3D is 48fps (24 for each eye) -- Gold Standard * 2. And as for the file size issues, we use a reduced color space (I don't recall the bit depth offhand) so as not to have a file that's twice as big as it would be otherwise. If they are releasing the movie specifically for device X I would have to imagine that it would be encoded for its native resolution. Wasn't that how Avatar was with the EVO?
