What did you guy's end up paying for your Evo 3D?
I got roped into a 2 year contract and had to pay the same $199.99 like anyone off the street would pay. And they basically told me that the $150 Silver Premier upgrade credit I had waiting for me didn't apply.
I feel as though I have been ripped off.
The way the math seemed correct in my head was this:
2 year contract price: $199.99 (was not in a contract before)
SP Upgrade Credit: $150.00
------------------------------------------
Cost out of pocket: $50.00
Seeing as I started this account with my own Evo 4G that I already owned outright, I think Sprint got one over on me.

Regular price for this phone is $549 (probably similar to what you paid when you bought your evo outright if you bought it from a retail store and not used from ebay/craigslist). The $199 price is the price AFTER your $150 credit and other discounts.
I bought my 3d from wirefly for $149 no tax. I got a $25 rebate for using the wirefly link on fatwallet.com. I then got a $75 credit on my sprint bill by calling in and renewing contract. Lastly, I sold my old evo4g for $185. So total price was:
$149-$25-$75-$185= I got paid $136 to upgrade to the evo3d (sprint waived the $18 activation fee also.)
I did the 99 dollar trade in deal through radio shack I had to give them my old EVO but I'm happy with this new phone.

I also ordered through wirefly for that price. Don't they automatically extend your contract when you order the phone? What was the activation process like when you received it?

So when you receive your phone there is this hugh warning saying "READ ACTIVATION PROCEDURE BEFORE ACTIVATING PHONE". So i read the procedure and they tell you to call this wirefly number. I did that and all they told me was to turn on my new phone and follow the information on the screen..(why were they neccessary). I left my old phone off while I did that. The process took less than 10 minutes I beleive
And yes they automatically renew your contract for two years. I called in to get the $75 credit since my contract was going to be extended two years anyway

knlmwq explained it properly you got the right price from sprint although you could have gotten the phone cheaper elsewhere. Your best bet is sell your Evo 4G back to Sprint through their buyback program: h**ps://secure2.sprintbuyback.com/consumer
They should give you $150 for your old phone. Good luck.

I was expecting to take a hit because Best Buy and Target (and even the Sprint online page) told me I'm only "early upgrade" eligible which means only $75 off because I got my Evo 4G this time last year... but I ended up getting both myself and my wife an Evo 3D for FREE! I initially posted this here but it was moved out of this forum (to my objection). Here's how my wife and I got free Evo 3D's, and a bunch of Sprint deals I didn't know about where Sprint may actually PAY YOU to take an Evo 3D:

So as I understand it, you prepaid $50 for a gift card, which was then applied to the cost of the phone when you picked it up, which means you put a $50 down payment on the phone and still paid $90 out of pocket. According to your own post.
199(phone cost) -150(traded in Evo) -50(pre order gift card That you paid for out of pocket) + 15(otterbox Impact case) + 25(invisible shield screen protector) = $40 Out Of Pocket!!!
I paid $216.98 after taxes with 2 yr upgrade status. I was only only 8 Months into my 2 year contract and was expecting to buy the phone at full price. I was greatly surprised 2 days before releasing how my problems with my Samsung Epic would relate on me getting a new phone at 2yr upgrade price. I can say that my bank account and saving was very happy to keep its $300. I could have kissed the lady from Sprint through the phone.
Paid $179.99 two year contract

so there are now a few places to preorder this phone:
Best Buy: $150 for a mint evo
Sprint: Taking orders on 21st for premier members (might net you an extra day or two with the phone)
Radio Shack: $75 smartphone buyback good for multiple smartphones.
Target: $150 for the evo
Wirefly: Sale price is $179.99 (ships out on the 24th though)
BUT. I'll be ordering from radio shack out of principle. Regardless of whether the leaked ads were intentionally done or not, they were the ones that are responsible for letting me know the release date.
also wondering.. what is the best place to preorder for a new customer?
not sure that it matters to much, as an X sprint rep I'll be buying from my buddy, they work hard and deserve the commission, not like your paying any extra for them to get paid.
Altho I do believe Best Buy may waive/not have new activation fee's and or upgrade fee's
as far as mail in rebates go, last time I checked sprint has moved to instant rebates, we'll see if that continues.
I ordered my EVO 3D from Wirefly. They have the phone for $179.99 (with free shipping, + $7.99 for 2-day) and with BoA add-it-up you get $50 cashback. So even paying extra for 2-day shipping, my cost will be $137.98 after cashback. They don't charge tax to CA, so that is a huge saving (in CA we get charged tax on full, unsubsidized phone cost). I can wait a few extra days to get it for the large savings and I ordered my original EVO from Wirefly and had no problems.

That's a great deal! I just checked, and they don't charge tax for me either. but be wary of this part:
By accepting this Instant Savings Discount, you agree to repay $200 of this discount ($300 for smartphones and netbooks) and authorize us to charge your credit card in repayment of this amount if, you signed up for a 2 year agreement and during the 181 days after your new equipment is activated, Sprint notifies us that the services you purchased have been suspended, disconnected, or deactivated, or if you return your purchase outside of the return and exchange provisions of our 30-day Satisfaction Guarantee.
If you're not sure ur going to be staying with sprint, you may get stuck with sprint's ETF and wirefly's $300.

It is the Bank of America Add-it-up program. If you have a BoA CC or bank account you register on the site for the program. Access the wirefly site via the BoA site and you get $50 cashback credited to you.

I feel like selling the evo outright on craigslist will net you much more than the $100-150 credit you may get. Why are people willing to trade it in for so cheap?

Hate to break it to you , but I'm sure the shack is thrilled. But That leaked info didn't so much come from corporate saying "Hey this is what they want lets give it to them.", as much as it came from an employee, who like us wanted to know and was kind enough to release it for us.
I don't think RS had anything to do with it and much as a few that WORK for them did.
Pre-ordered at bestbuy like last year with the og evo and was wondering if anyone knows if they're throwing in any bonuses like last year with the bluetooth headseat that I've never used. Haha
Best buy is the easy way to go.If you pre order on the 21st you will get it on the 23rd or 24th plus when you get it the hassle of calling in and having them activate a phone they do not think is even out yet.
Best buy pre order 50$ plus if you decide you do not want it full refund of the 50$ not GIFT CARD TO KEEP LIKE SPRINT!!!
id go with them or radio shack.
I'm currently with t-mobile and am planning to switch to sprint, and I want to get the $125 they offer for switching:
www.sprint.com/landings/portcredit/?ECID=vanity:switchtosprint-
(sorry, I can't post links yet).
What I'm trying to figure out is if buying the evo 3d at amazon for $180 will make me ineligible. (See the fine-print at the bottom of the sort-of linked page).
The offer is a simple
Just bring your number from another carrier to Sprint and activate a smartphone, like the Samsung Epic 4G, on a new line between 5/4/2011 and 7/23/2011 and we'll give you a $125 service credit.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But the text that concerns me is
This offer is only available online, via telesales, and in participating Sprint Stores. Purchases from other retailers are not eligible for this credit. Requires port in from an active wireless line and mobile number that comes through the port process to a new line on an eligible Sprint service plan.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Two reasons I was planning to buy at amazon:
$20 less than the sprint price
they're offering an "activation-fee credit" of $36 (I didn't go all the way through the ordering process at sprint, but I assume they would be charging me $36 to activate as a new customer)
Any tips on what's the best way to sign up without missing any deals? As near as I can tell, signing up through wirefly was going to result in me being charged the $36 activation fee too (and no idea if they'd try to deny my $125 for switching to sprint).
$125 > $36+ $20 + tax
So go with Sprint.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
they only give you that deal if you port your number over from tmobile, and sometimes they can wave the activation fee, if you sign up right then
I switched over from T-horrible and doing it a Sprint store is better. When they port your number you lose your T-mobile services so if you have your 3D shipped through amazon you won't have a phone until it arrives at your house. Do it at the Sprint store and if you have to get on the waiting list you will be okay. Just do like I did and get a EVO 4G for $150 plus buy the gift card to get on the waiting list for the next shipment to come in. Use the 30 day satisfaction deal and when your phone comes in trade it out for your 3D. With the gift card you have already paid for the price of the phone. Also baby your Evo 4G any scratches or scrapes and they may not take it back.

if you go back to the store with the receipt they can credit you the difference or return it then resell it too you for the difference, remember you have 30 days from the date of purchase
Title says it all. Any rebate of any form when you buy it, Mail-in or otherwise?
I haven't heard a whisper of this and don't expect to. Your best bet is to port a phone number in on a new line of service for a $125 credit.
And yes, the port in credit is until JULY 23, not June--no matter what they tell you (I've had to correct 4 different sprint employees on this!!)

I got a 150$ instant rebate at sprint store with the buy back program because I used my wifes line to get my EVO last year. My 3D cost me 60 dollars out of pocket
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Not really a rebate, but nice price!
The replenish I got 1 month ago only trades in for like $35, lol.
I'm already with sprint, I'm talking about something like the $100 mail-in rebate that I got last year with my Evo, Right now I'd likely be getting a $25 credit towards my account, the 150 for the OG Evo buyback and the $75 upgrade with it, I'm unsure whether it stacks, either.
199.99 is a great price, so I'm sure there wont be any rebates unless the price goes up. If you can use the buy back program, that helps. The OG Evo is worth 150, I traded that in along with my T-mo Galaxy S 4G and got the 3vo, Ottterbox defender, ballistic case and screen protectors all for free. Also ported my T-mo # over for the 125.00 credit.

Same thing here, from Radio Shack. I was expecting to pay $99, which was RS advertised price with trade-in, but then they said no, you get $150 back on trade in, so it was only $60.
got evo 3d and nexus s 4g for 50 bucks basically with no activation fees. 175 for each line port (125 + extra 50 per line from the sprint rep).
Helps having a huge corporate account with the company I work for. Thats in addition to 20 percent off every month. All in all really quite pleased with sprint at the moment.
I am impatiently waiting to get my hands on this beast! I have made friends with the store manager at my local Radio Shack. He said that they could match any price,anywhere! At one point, Wirefly had them for $119 but sadly that's gone. Bestbuy has the $199 plus the gift card. I have $200 in hand. Where shall I go?
Went to the Sprint store the other day. Got talking to a rooter sales guy. Sprint has a buy back program. He said $99 for the EVO 3D (I paid ~$55), $55 for my iPhone 3G (not even worth having it's so slow, my 4 year old would rather play with a broken nextel then the working iPhone), plus the $150 for new 2 year upgrade agreement and the $200 istant savings puts me right around $60. Hopefully I can use my preferred members discount to knock off the activation fee.
Walmart for 149.99, that's probably the cheapest place that has the phone in stock right now. If you count the gift card on Best Buy then same deal.
Best buy, $50 gc + 5000($100) rewardzone points with 2yrs agreement of course. Even less if you have a trade in phone.

Thats what I plan to do, but at my BB they told me their running a promo if you trade in an EVO its a $50 card plus value of the phone and I also have the $50 for the phone freedom....So -$50-100, if all goes as they say I'll let you know in the morning
I was considering BB but since the phone is no longer available for pre-order I'd miss out on that $50. I wish I hadn't trusted WireFly so much and just pre-ordered as a backup plan. Now I'm trying to decide if waiting another week is worth paying $100 for it or not.
I haven't seen where you get $50 for activating a new phone and I know the $50 pre-order GC is gone now.. But if that activation one is good I basically pay $150 OOP and get $100 in credit on my RZ account bringing it down to $50 after everything. Not bad..

Isn't that the deal that was available for preorders? I think the OP is referring to what's the best deal now since the phone is technically available in stores as of today. I'm still trying to figure it out myself. And as another thread said you cant combine the best buy reward zone points AND get the $50 gift card. I think walmart $150 sounds like the best no hassle deal as of now.
%[email protected]$ [email protected]#$ @#$ Found this today, AFTER picking up my 2nd pre-order (they f'd up and only had one of my phones in the first time).
But anyways, go here: myrewardzone.bestbuy.com/offers/offersandpromotions/info/0900a76f8009596b
You MUST buy the phone (upgrade, new service, whatever from that site) and you must be a rewardzone member (free). I tried to get the points added to mine, but they said it had to be ordered from there, does not work on in-store purchases.
Anyways, they will give you $100 in rewardzone certificates (I never used these, but I think it's just gift cards to use in BestBuy or something) but if you go there anyways, it's a good deal.
Offer begins: 5/30/2012 expires: 06/05/2012
Lots o' threads and posts on this here, at Android Central and elswhere. Plus there is a Sprint smartphone upgrade $50 price reduction on top of the two gift cards. Got my Evo for $49 since they let you use the gift cards as part of the phone purchase.
And those that got the "forever" coupon thing back in Feb. get another $50 so was free phone time!
WOW! Wish I'd known about all that stuff. I had a bunch of gift cards I'd won previously and used them with the $50 instnat rebate so paid a little less than $100 for my first one, and 2nd one I just go the $50 off so paid $150.
$250 for two EVO 4G LTE phones isn't bad though, haha. Might sell my 2nd one for $650 since everyone is offering that much for it, in which case I'd have been PAID $400 to upgrade to one. ;-p
If I knew they were doing that promo, I'd have just pre-ordered online. I guess I didn't look hard enough, but it just came out and I wanted to secure my pre-order position ASAP. I should've done it anyway for my 2nd line though since they messed up my pre-order and I got it late anyway.

just got off the phone with their mobile support. the rewardzone certificates are added to the account like 40 days after purchase so you'd have to put down the $199.99 for the purchase and use the certificates to buy visa giftcards or something. and if you're thinking you can get the $50 gift card too, its in-store only. so its one or the other

Yeah going through the order on their rewards site, it gives you the $100 rewards at checkout but will not apply them to that order so you're still paying $199 upfront.

Can either the $50 gift card OR the $100 reward zone points be sold?
Best Buy has nothing besides the phone I want to buy but if I could sell those things on ebay or something for at least 90% of the actual cost it would be worth it I think.

Yes but if you order through the rewardszone website which is separate, they are not giving you the $50 giftcard from bestbuy.com.
At this point what I'm thinking is PM to $149 and have them apply the -50$ GC to the purchase. The -50$ activation promotion on BB.com is the same as thei n-store -50$ off EVO LTE. So they will apply it to the purchase, it's just a matter of IF you can get them to agree to PM then remind them of the -50$.

Price match, with my zip Walmart shows 189 on upgrades now so YMMV.

Any GC you can sell unfortunately the -100$ RZ is tied to your account and prints out as a voucher.

Correct, the only way around this would be to do an in-store pickup OR register for the promotion online.
I think I might bite on this. Right now I pay $150 at Amazon. At best buy it would be phone + tax - rz credit - gc right?
So 200 + 62 - 100 - 50 = 112?

No I cannot guarantee you'll get the -50$ online activation credit in combination to the -100$ RZ credit. I was told that they are different sites and have different policy. If you could do an in-store pickup then MAYBE but since that is not an option it is one or the other.
It'll be Upgrade @ 200 - 50 for Target PM - 50$ for LTE/Activation promo = 100 + tax at BEST!
No, you can't pick it up, only ship to your house But its still cheaper than Amazon $131 with 2day shipping ($5) and tax with the rz certificate factored in.
Amazon won't even tell me when they are shipping! Plus they were $150. So I saved about 20$ and hopefully will get it much quicker! THANKS EVERYONE!
Oh BTW! Order it tonight and use the code SAVE15 to get $30 off
Another happy WireFly Cancellation
Went into BB Mobile store, picked up my handset happily canceled WF order. I can confirm (YMMV) BB will PM Target.com/Sam's Club then apply -50$ Sprint instant activation promo. While you will pay tax you have a device in your hand AND it will be $100. You can do even better then that with a few more things we mentioned here (which I did) but do what you have to $100 is better then $200.
