I am in the same position as some of you. My upgrade is July 1st.

What if you buy it outright, keep it for 30 days and then return it. By then the upgrade will be available and you can get it for the upgrade price.

Does anyone know if that will work?

that will work. You just may have to pay a $ 35.00 restocking fee.

yes. 6-6 for the unwashed massed. 5-29 for the best buys.

i'm premier - where's my promised "early access to buy new phones"???

IMO shut down the store 4 hours early the night before and open it only to premier members. have vodka and appetizers served by scantily clad women as i buy my EVO. now that would be Premier service!

You never know..You could get a midnight showing, allowing Premier folks w/proof in hand (Sprint billing statement) be the very first folks to order early.

I am sure something like that is gotta been the cards for premier folks tonight.

Well, considering they like to play up Premier's early access perk they may just do that...but I dunno. We will see. I sent a message to a friend who works for a Sprint call center to see what he can do (if anything).
 
I don't like buying from BB so darn on the pre-order process. Never confident they can apply company discount or other codes correctly and it would be risky since I'll be porting my number from another carrier.

BTW, is BB touting the 4G experience like Sprint stores in 4G areas? I haven't seen or heard anything like it yet.

well the Pre "Premiere member party" last year had everything but the girls and it was pretty sweet to have my Pre without any fuss of lines or them not having enough

I hope i get an invite to this one, the people at the Studio Store in KC already said they expect an event just like the Pre's again this year.

Well, we have less than 1 hour to go till the Sprint event. I'd like to take this opportunity, to address everyone who doubted that this was even a legitimate event, when it was first announced weeks ago.

This one's for you:

yup. i deserve it. i was a non-believer!

i still find it interesting that sprint didn't invite engadget or gizmodo. it's nice that they are supporting the smaller, android-centric blogs.

rebella - what's the story on the past Sprint 14 day grace period window for early upgrades? does it exist anymore or is it toast? if it exists how do i get it done?

thanks!

That's what I'm worried about as well. But if I already have a simply everything plan with a corporate discount applied and I just upgrade for 2 years, would I not retain my discount, or would it be kind of treated like a whole new plan?

Anyone know? Thanks.

can I just add another line for $10 to get this phone? My upgraded isn't until Nov or Dec.
Click to expand...

No.... but you can add a line for 19.99 then call then and ask for a discount... they give me a $5 credit plus my employee discount of 19% off my bill... I have 4 lines and pay $145 a month. I also get a few other discounts for being a premire customer and refering so many people and so on... so add the line. if you try and cancel after the fact you will owe the phone back.... :(

OK OK!

Let me make sure I have this right. Pre-Orders for the EVO begins on 5/21 and those who pre-ordered through BB or RS can pickup their phones on 5/29 correct? Now, am I able to preorder the phone in the actual stores as opposed to online?

In person with monies in hand at the stores on May 21st only to complete a pre order transaction. Shack is $199 period down for pre orders. BB is doing the $50 dollar gift card process as everyone else here is familiar with.

I am not sure why I am answering this question? Why would you not be down there on May 21st on opening day?

That is news I got on my end.

$19.99? That's not right I'm positive it's $10 another line.

nice. curious on what technique was used to coax out that blurred address. reminds me of the acid process used to uncover filed off serial numbers from metal objects like firearms and chainsaws. real forensic kind of stuff!
