Anyone gone to a Best Buy Mobile store and inquired about the mysterious EVO 3D secret preorder?
Curious to see what people are hearing from the blue shirted drones...
I'm assuming if we're to the point of Best Buy allowing preoders, there has to be a launch date/pricing announcement sooner than later.

I signed a new contract for the EVO last June and we all know that Sprint jacked with the Premier program. Looking online I see that if you are "Silver" at 1 year into your contract you get $75 off a new phone, instead of the full $150. Is there any other way to get the full upgrade price? I remember reading that you could upgrade to a higher cost plan, but you have to have it for 3 months before you qualify for the full upgrade.

Calculating it out I would have to play $90 total (over 3 months) to qualify for the full upgrade cost. Am I correct that if I just stayed with my current plan of $69.99 I would just have to pay $75 more than the "2 year contract" price of the phone?

actually not 75 more then the two year price, lets say the retail was 450 and the 2 year contract will be minus 150 minus another 100 for mail and rebait. for the 75 off youll just get 75 off the 450 coming out to 375.

I got an email this morning from best buy to pre-order the 3D, so its not a secret pre-order anymore.

I did go in yesterday and get mine though, i was the first person at that store

Yes there is a way to get your full $150 upgrade in JUNE...There is a member on Sprintusers that have been granted access to restore upgrades. I suggest you join and contact him...Here is the thread he works from...by the way I am a mod there and endorse his services...good luck!!!:)

Back to the preorder. The only thing about preordering is I might be able to score one early from the google convention.

99.9% sure the answer is yes!!! They add $100 to $150 bucks on top of the going rate for a device. That way they are pretty much reserving units for people who are eligible for an upgrade, new acts, etc...

is that $100 on top of the instant / mail-in rebate or the same?

Damn so in order to to get it at BB i have to preorder with the plan to get a 1 or 2 year contract? Or buy it at sprint w/o contract.

Sounds like it. Unless you want to pay the BB premium for a non-contract phone. Sadly, I think I'll wait until it is available from Sprint. I really don't want to be tied to them for 2 years at this point. My city is getting V's LTE by this fall, but Sprint 4G is nowhere to be found.

I say that now, but the geek gene in me may not be able to resist...

I just got back from BB. Did the preorder. I assume I'll be able to get it as my Sprint contract is up, and I've done this before through BB (not via a preorder just the new/extended contract thing). It's supposed to be summer, but I'm really hoping it's out early in June. Could it be they launched the preorder today because it's only a month away? When BB does preorders, what's the range as far as days before the devices actually come?
