No SD card included if purchasing EVO 3D from Wirefly

[The EVOlution]

I guess I should have put a question mark at the end of the title (rookie mistake I guess), but I read in another form that they weren't including the 8gb card that comes installed in the phone. I have already preordered mine from Wirefly ($179-$50 (Bank of America Add it up program reward)=$129!), so I decided to email them and ask about this. Sure enough they said it does not come with an sd card! See the email below. I guess it's not that big of a deal since cards are fairly cheap, but I was wondering a few things.
1) Will the EVO 3D support sdhc? I was thinking about getting an 16gb class 6. Any good suggestions there?
2) Won't the preinstalled movies/games be installed on the sd card that Sprint includes? Again, not that big of a deal, just curious.
Thanks for the help.

Does the evo 3d come with an 8gb SD card?

Sent from my EVO.

Wow, thanks. Did not know this! Would have sucked for sure to get it without the card. I don't know i feel about the movies though. I don't really care, i just wish it was more clear when ordering. So the question is, is $50 off worth not having the card and the pre-loaded movies/games? And to add to the OP's Q, what cards are compatible?

 

[Djblue]

Dang, Can they do that? Opening up every box and taking the micro sd card out of every phone seems to be a hassle.

There's always a catch :-\

we had a thread about micro SD cards we and Manny found a good one

Who is getting a 32 gb card for their Evo3d and which one?

May be they get it cheaper like that from HTC

I have been considering Wirefly and have been reading up on it.Between no sd card and agreements in fine print, I don't think its worth it. I am just going to go to a retailer come the 24th. My Pre is soooooooooooo slow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[VickMackey#AC]

Looks like it's still works out cheaper from Wirefly AND you double your capacity if you pick up a card from newegg.

 

[VickMackey#AC]

So I just got off live chat with a rep and they confirmed that it DOES come with the 8GB MicroSD card.
=====================

REP: Please allow me 2 minutes while I check the information for the phone model "HTC EVO 3D".
REP: Thanks for your patience.
REP: I see that the phone model "HTC EVO 3D" comes with 8GB microSD card.
Me: Ok, are you 100% positive? There have been postings on some forums that it does not and that's why the price is as good as it is at 149.99
REP: I see that "HTC EVO 3D" has a QHD 3D display.
Me: I know it is supposed to, but will it ship from Wirefly with the microSD card?
REP: Yes, it comes with 8GB class 4microSD card.
REP: Yes, you will receive the 8GB class 4 microSD card along with the phone.
Me: Ok, thanks for the confirmation. I appreciate it. Will it also ship with the Green Hornet 3D as well?
REP: The expandable memory of the phone is to 32GB.
REP: You are welcome.
REP: We do not have any information that you will receive it with the Green Hornet 3D, however, you may check the phone details at HTC website.
Me: Ok, thanks again. Have a good day.
REP: You are welcome.
REP: Would you like to order some accessories for your phone?
Me: Not at this time, thanks.
REP: It's fine. You are welcome.
REP: Is there anything else I can do for you today?
Me: No that's it, just the question on the microSD card. thanks
REP: You are welcome.
REP: Thank you for contacting our chat support team. Please feel free to come back to WhereIsMyOrder.com for another chat session if there is anything else we can help you with.
REP: Have a great day!

Thanks. That makes me feel a little better...I think. It's hard to know who to believe with these reps never really knowing much about what they're selling. My initial thought was why wouldn't it come with it, plus cards are so cheap it doesn't seem like they would save much money by not including it. So maybe it will, maybe it won't I guess. Guess I'll find out soon enough!

 

[VickMackey#AC]

Yea, I hope my rep was right, but either way an 8GB micro card is about 15 bucks at amazon so i'll still save a lot even if i have to get one.

 

[The EVOlution]

I decide to try a chat session too (see below). Either it's not coming with an SD card or I keep getting unknowledgeable people. Guess I'll check out Amazon. My thing is a lot of people are going to be a little pissed when it arrives with no sd card, assuming that's the case.

Killemsetti : The phone model "HTC EVO 3D " the Built-In Memory is-1GB and Expandable Memory Capacity Up To 32GB microSD.
Me: Yeah, I know that, but is Wirefly including the 8 gb removeable sd card that Sprint provides with the phone?
Killemsetti : Okay, please allow me 2 more minutes to check in the order an inform you.
Killemsetti : Thank you for your patience.
Killemsetti :I regret to say that there is no 8GB removable SD card with the phone, however, you can Expandable Memory Capacity Up To 32GB microSD.

[mookyanks]

The phone will have an sd card, they will send the exact same thing that best buy/target/sprint stores get. They have an incredibly poor staff answering questions over the phone and email.

 

[The EVOlution]

This might help some. I just checked this and it works if anyone is interested in a 4gb card for free from Wirefly with a phone purchase. WIREFLY4GMC

 

[VickMackey#AC]

yea I can't see the phone not coming with the card. I expect better from wirefly. With that said I won't cancel my order but I will report back when I get the phone.

 

[nkd]

wirefly cant mess with the phone. If sprint says it comes with cards it will come with them, no matter what wirefly says, unless you are buying refurbished. This was the same stuff that happened with thunderbolts when people said that best buy didn't include the microsd. I was at best buy and the guy told me its bull, the phones come directly from verizon and they cant mess with them in any way.

 

[PhoneJunkie]

Of course it comes with it. Unless they're unboxing each 3D and removing the sd card. Lol. You get the same thing through wirefly as you do through Sprint.

 

[dfine1966]

If you go on Wirefly site and look at the Phone Details for Sprint EVO 3D, What's In the BOX. This is all it says.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX
Charger-Yes
USB Cable-Yes, microUSB Cable
Battery-Yes

This is why the Representatives are telling you that there is no MicroSD card.

If you look at another phone, like the EVO 4G in Phone Details, What's in the Box, this is what it says.
WHAT'S IN THE BOX
Additional Items Included-Battery, AC Phone Charger, USB Sync Cable, 8GB microSD Card Preloaded, Recycling Envelope

It says it has the 8GB microSD Card in it.

Because it is a pre order for the EVO 3D, they may not have all the details yet until they get the phone.

 

[enthuz]

I will be taking the 8GB card out and replacing it with a 32GB card as soon as I pick up mine and figure out how to do it. I hope it is as simple to backup and transfer as a BB.

FYI

Amazon is not including an SD card.

Reps don't have the phone with them. Theycant open the box to look at it. When are people going to realize that its the same box that will be shipped by sprint. Stop listening to reps who are going by what the system is telling them. If sprint says it comes with a card then it does. Problem solved.

You might want to chat with yet another rep. He said it has 1 GB of built in memory when you asked about whether it has a sd card or not? 1 GB is the ram, the built in memory is 4 GB, don't think this guy/girl had his/her bit and bytes straight!
