WOO HOO!!

Here was EVP's email to me early this morning:

"Cary,

Congrats!!! Your order is on it's way!

Enjoy your new phone….you're one of the first to get it, let me know what you think of it so I can pass your advice along to others.

Please use myself and the EVP as your ‘one-point-of-contact’ for all of your Sprint needs…this will make it much easier for you and is the best way to ensure all discounts remains applied. If you have co-workers, friends or family interested in Sprint plans, feel free to send them my info to review their account for free to ensure they are taken care of as well.

how much did you pay?

I wasn't eligible for my 1 yr premier upgrade yet, so I only got $75 off. With $12 overnight shipping, and I assume some sort of activation fee - my next bill will probably have an extra $175 tacked on to it. Not a big deal though, I seriously upgrade my phone every year when the next big thing comes out LOL

Like I said in another thread...wow this phone will be my favorite for a whole 10 months! (next is probably the Prime). My younger brother gets all my "old" hand me downs Lucky him

If you only got $75 off..... How is is that you think your bill will only have $175 added on? With the full price of this phone being in the $500 area... It seems you will be charged over $400.

Am I missing something?

Exactly what I was thinking.

Man, wtf. This is what I got today from lets talk:

Melva B: Thanks for choosing Customer Support Chat!
When you are ready to disconnect, please click the END CHAT button at bottom left of this window.

Hello, pappaBacon. How can we provide assistance?
pappaBacon: I want to know when order ******* (my Epic 4g Touch) will ship
Melva B: Hello my name is Melva can you verify the address on the order?
pappaBacon: Hi Melva, ********************
Melva B: Thank you for verifying that information. We do not currently have an estimate time of arrival as to when the phone will be available.
pappaBacon: ah crap
Melva B: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
pappaBacon: no, I guess I'll check back tomorrow.

And now letstalk isn't offering them for sale, it just has a place to sign up to find out when the phone is available.

Ok...found my PDF receipt. It comes out to 324.00 on top of my monthly bill. Holy crap there goes my winnings. I just won $500.00 on a $20.00 five game parlay bet last weekend LOL GO PATRIOTS!

Pictures in a few minutes....UPS just got here

Yeah you were right...guess I didn't look at the receipt. It came out to 324 after my company discount and the $75 upgrade thingy. Anyways, I'll start posting pics and taking questions

First Impressions

1. First thing I noticed taking it out of the box: WOW. It is extremely light. I don't think any review stressed how light it really is.

2. It is absolutely sleek and gorgeous. It's pretty obvious now why it sold millions world-wide. It doesn't feel "cheap" - definitely more "solid" than my epic - but it's probably because it has no sliding keyboard

3. The camera lens in front along with the light sensor and proximity sensor are easier to see than the Epic.

 

[kanyewest]

Does the rear camera lens touch the surface when u lay it flat?

 

[cary328is]

Does the rear camera lens touch the surface when u lay it flat?

Unfortunately yes it does. It doesn't really touch the inner lens area as there is an oval plastic surrounding the lens and flash, but it's close:

Definitely get a case if you hate this as much as I do.

 

[cary328is]

I just plugged in my spare Epic battery and it works. Most likely won't last as long as the 1800 mAh battery it came with but oh well. It works as a spare.

Moar info!!!!!!!

Moar info!!!!!!!

What do you want to know? Every video review has covered the general stuff. Let me know if there's something you want me to check

This equation still doesn't make sense. The full price of this phone is supposed to be $500. If you were only able to get a $75 discount.... That should have Been approximately $425 billed to your account. How is it $324?

I'm not sure. It's not even a full receipt - I'll wait for the bill and let you know.

UPDATE: I called EVP and they sent me an updated PDF. You're right it's 424.99 LOL

Apologies for the previous posts about the costs. Like I said - i dont pay attention to it much. Also I really didn't pay for it. Vegas did LOL:

I'm excited for ALL of you! You will not be disappointed. Definitely pick up the MHL adapter from monoprice and a case if you haven't already done so. Is there anything I can answer for you?
