There was a similar thread in the Sprint section, but I thought it'd be useful to post here as well.
I'm currently on ATT and have been waiting forever for EVO 3D to come out. Went to the local Sprint store and asked them if I could pre-order the EVO 3D and still take advantage of the $125 transfer credit they're offering which ends 6/23, the day before I'd be able to pick up my EVO 3D.
Was expecting a "no," but they said I could do it. They're just having me come in next Thursday, buy a temp phone, and then come back on Friday and return it for the EVO 3D. They said they wouldn't charge a restocking fee either.
Only thing that has me worried a bit is that they said they'd give me a dumbphone on the 23rd as my temp phone, but according to Sprint.com, you have to activate a smartphone to get the $125 credit; you only get $50 if you activate a regular phone.
So I'll clear it up with them when I go in on Thursday. I can understand that they don't want to hand out Nexus 4Gs and EVO 4Gs left and right knowing full well they're just going to be returned the next day, but I want to make sure I get my full $125 credit!
TLDR: You can get the EVO 3D and the $125 credit if you're coming over from a different carrier, and it looks like that's the best deal right now, even with paying $199 + tax + potential activation fee.
Hope this helps for those wondering. Can't wait to get rid of my ancient RAZR V3 (no laughing! :'( I already get the ninth degree from all my friends) and get my first smartphone.
