HTC EVO 4G :: Downside To Purchasing Through Wirefly?

May 13, 2010

I was wondering if anybody had legitimate reasons for why I shouldn't get my EVO through Wirefly?The ONLY downside I can think of right now, is I may have to wait till June 5th or 7th to actually receive the phone. But the positives seem to outweigh that little issue. I've seen all the threads related to Best Buy and Radio Shack and I'm trying to figure out what the draw is for purchasing there other than getting it as fast as you can.This is all based on what I have seen Wirefly do, recently with the Incredible release, as well as purchasing my last phone (ENV2) through them, but this is how I foresee it going down:

-EVO becomes available on June 4th, same as Incredible became available on April 29th.

-EVO is priced at $149, just as the Incredible was and is currently listed at $149. Both phones would be or are $199 on their respective carriers websites and at places like Radio Shack and Best Buy.

-Would be able to drop another $50 off price because of Bing Cashback program, effectively dropping the total purchase price to $99, without having to pay any sales tax. Still would have to pay $35 activation fee, unless Sprint was running a special through Wirefly giving free activation. (Much like AT&T is currently doing) But maximum cost of phone would be $135.

-EVO would ship overnight and best case scenario would arrive on Saturday June 5th, or worst case scenario Monday June 7th.

-No rebates mail in or otherwise to worry about or mess with. Just a lower cost for the phone overall.

Does anybody have any LEGITIMATE reasons other than not getting the phone on the day it is released why it wouldn't be a good idea to go with Wirefly on this?I'm not looking for arguments or pissing matches on this, just really curious if anyone has any reasons for me to think about not going with Wirefly on this, if the previously mentioned aspects turn out that way.

HTC EVO 4G :: What Is Downside To Not Updating?

Aug 10, 2010

Other than not getting the benefits of Froyo that is? I haven't done it yet and I am seeing a lot of "wish I could go back to 2.1" and "Froyo destroyed my battery" posts on here so I am weighing my options. I love my phone and it works well. My battery is great (usually around 24 hours with light to moderate use) and everything is just the way I want it. As I understand from the myriad posts on this board if I update I will probably have to go back and check all my settings again, possibly factory reset (with all the fun that entails) and possibly lose some of the functionality I currently have -- all for a flashlight app a little speed improvement and flash. Am I missing something?On the other hand, if this is something I will really need to do (eventually if not now) to keep my phone current and continue to get new apps, I want to consider it.

Those of you who have had a bad experience, have the "fixes" on here mostly done the trick? I am willing to go through all of that if I get my phone back at the end of it all, but will be really upset if I do all this and my battery is cut in half or worse. I already BTDT on the Moment with the 2.1 upgrade so I am skittish.

HTC Desire :: Downside To Unlocking Phone To Go With A Different Provider?

Aug 19, 2010

Is there any downside to unlocking an HTC Desire to go with a different provider? In my province Telus offers the Desire, but I might want to go with an alternative carrier. So in theory I buy a phone, pay the $15-$20 and have it unlocked. Then take it to the alternative provider and they sign me up

Android :: In-App Purchasing And Market Agreement

Mar 17, 2010

I have still not seen an acceptable solution for in-app purchasing, and I was hoping for an official response from Google. This has been discussed in other threads, but there is still no good solution. http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa.Collecting a fee to unlock functionality or to buy virtual items is not a technical problem. It is straightforward.However, the Market Agreement severely limits developers' ability to collect such a fee. It says all fees collected for the app must go through the Market payment processor.Buying another app from the Market seems the only clearly acceptable solution. But that is not ideal.It perverts the definition of an "app" and causes problems because of the refund policy.Google, how are developers supposed to handle this situation? Or is your intention that we simply not do this?

While lawyers may quarrel over the actual document, what is your intent as it pertains to buying virtual items? For example, charging $1 real money for 10 in-game gold?What if only the front end of the game is distributed on the market,and the features of the front end (the app) do not change with additional fees? This may be splitting hairs but that's what happens with legal documents, I suppose.So what is the intention of the Market Agreement here? Did you intend to prevent buying virtual items or not?

I downloaded launcherpro, and there is no application icon with the rest of my apps. I wanted to fix my screens and stuff, but I cannot find the preferences for the app. I cant even find the app on my phone. It changed my home screens from 7 to 3.

HTC EVO 4G : Is Wirefly Still Best Place To Get Phone?

Jun 9, 2010

I should be able to get an Evo tomorrow. Is Wirefly still the best place? Their price has gone up from the launch price of $170 to $190, but it appears you can still get $50 Bing cash back. And I think there's a coupon code for a free bluetooth headset.

I actually tried to order the Evo on the launch date from Wirefly, but was denied because my upgrade date wasn't ready. I think I'll give them a call and see if they can honor the launch price of $170 for me.
