I just pre-ordered my evo 3d from best buy. I will have to pay the full sticker for it, but as much as I use my evo for its purpose (as a phone) I also get a hours of enjoyment testing roms and other stuff. I'm not sitting around watching "glee". If you want the phone get it. A dodgers game costs $250 after parking, tickets, a dog. A movie night with dinner $100. Xda and roms open 24/7 priceless. Btw if it is $700. Buy out your contact, resign, or tell them you're gonna do it and they will help. I did. Sprint is good. Try verizon or att/t-mobile/europe/asia. The worst.

So have you thought about selling your old evo? and thats quite an expensive dodger game lol.
Yeah, hate to sell it though, have a blackberry 9700 too. Makes a good doorstop. And 2 decent seats at a game with all the other crap is that much, which is sad

T-Mobile has always given me early upgrades for a new subscriber price... Verizon and AT&T on the other hand, I will agree are teh devil!
But since the announcement of this potential merger, and have always wanted an EVO, I'm jumping ship before it has a chance to sink....
If you're buying off contract, it will probably be much cheaper to get it from RadioShack or a Sprint store. BBY usually has extra high outright pricing.
The evo was 450 at sprint, and 599 at bestbuy full price
EOD is evotastic!
Preorder directly from Sprint on the first if you want to buy it off contract, will be much cheaper.

This is what I am waiting on. First sounds interesting.
might be off topic but, I have a 25% Discount on my bill through my employer, Does this 25% apply to new equipment purchase either at full price or upgrade?

do you know best buy sells their phones for 150 over regular price from anywhere else. Look it up. Evo 4g 450 from sprint best buy 600. epic 4g 500 from sprint 650 from best buy. nexus s 4g 550 from sprint 700 at best buy. Best buy will not price match either because I tried when I bought the nexus s. I went to sprint and bought it for 550. I would def not buy a phone from best buy if you are buying outright cuz their prices are crazy. I asked why the price difference and they said it was because they do not like selling the phone outright and want to sell it with a new contract.
Unfortunately, I am not eligible for upgrade until Thursday, meaning I am missing out on all of these great deals on the SGS2. I want to get one as soon as I am eligible but I was just wondering if anyone knew of any sales on the phone in early to mid December?
The regular price at my local Walmart (which is where I would probably upgrade if I can't find it cheaper elsewhere) is $150 so any sales that lowers the price below that would be great and I would be willing to wait a bit longer for a better price on the phone.
So...anyone heard of any deals that don't end before the 1st or start soon after?

I did complain when it was a month early and they did allow me to upgrade early. However, they said it was IMPOSSIBLE to change my official upgrade date and all they can do is notate the account that an early upgrade has been approved. Meaning, if I go to Walmart, Radio Shack, etc they will still just see my December 1st upgrade date and won't let me upgrade.
In sum, I CAN upgrade, but only at the AT&T store or over the phone with AT&T. So, if they drop their price I can upgrade early but I would rather pay $150 in a few days than pay $200 now.
Do they still?

Bad news for me
Well I got some bad news today...my actual upgrade date is December 6th, but two AT&T reps told me that upgrades go by month and not by specific day, so they told me I could actually upgrade at any major retailer as early as December 1st.
So, I was counting on that deal at Wal-Mart but when I called them to double check that I could upgrade on the 1st I was told that I could not upgrade any earlier than the 6th and that I was misinformed.
So, if anyone hears of any deals that are still going to be valid on the 6th please post it.

When I preordered mine I did it thru telesales. There Philippians call center is tuff to understand. It was weird cause I talked to 3 different people before I ordered and they all said I should be getting the phone the 17th or 18th. Even though sprints site has no official release date etched in HTML stone yet.
Anyone know who has the LTE for the best price these days? I think I convinced the wife to get one and get rid of her OG Evo. She is very frugal but after seeing how good the camera is on my LTE and considering we just had a baby she may spend the money.
I have an upgrade on my line so it would have to be a the best price using a 2 year agreement with upgrade transferable to her line.
Thanks!
I got mine at walmart for 158$
Amazon is your best bet. Seen it around $79.

Hmmm. Interesting. Good suggestion. The walmart by my house doesn't sell Sprint but the next closest one does. I will have to go swing by there this week and see what they are selling for here.
Thanks and Who Dat!
Sams Club
Sam's Club has the phone for ~$148, Amazon has it for ~$149, and Radio Shack has it for ~$149. She might like the GS III just as much - if not more. It was cheaper at Sam's when I was there a few days ago, but the site has it listed as $148 as well.
Let us know if you find it cheaper elsewhere. I'm due to upgrade in a couple months and am always looking for the best deal.

Wow. That would be ideal. I just checked Amazon and it looks like they are up to $150 with a 2 year agreement. Although they are 1 cent for a new line of service. Damn.
But $150 is the best price I have found so far.
I would avoid Wirefly, I got mine at Best Buy, I think it was price matched to $129 but that was early June. Plus their warranty service is fantastic, literally walk in and receive a replacement with no questions for $10 a month. They also gave $50 for signing up to their black tie warranty, and $50 best buy GC. Note that these were promotions at the time but probably still good.

Ah yes. Sam's club. Would cost me +$30 or whatever it is to renew my membership if I wanted to get it there. LOL.
But it looks like $150 is about the best price going. I thought about getting her the SGS3 but will stick with the EVO since it is what I know and she asks a lot of questions about the phone so I can answer better about the EVO off the top of my head.

Yeah, Best Buy does have a pretty good warranty. Their website says it's 199, but if they will match Sam's Club, Walmart, or Radio Shack on price than it would a pretty good choice.

Only for totally new accounts. When you click "i have a family plan" or whatever it goes to $150.
The EVO is now retailing for $78.88 if you are near a Sam's Club.

How is it that this phone is $199 at AT&T and at Best Buy I can get it for $99?
How could there be that big of a difference in price?

That's how I ended up with my One X.
If you want the BB price, but want to buy from AT&T, check if your credit card has some sort of price protection. My card has it. I just had to call in and they open a claim. You fill out some paperwork and send in the advertisement with the price and they send you a check for the difference up to $250. I'm waiting for my paperwork for the OG right now.
BBUY price match to Amazon $50
Best Buy has a deal right now where you can sign up before Sunday to get a $50 gift card when you upgrade, but they will also price match to Amazon.
I got the price match a few weeks back and got the phone for $50. The $50 gift card would've been nice, but I had to buy before the end of last month for another deal. $50 credit on my AMEX is better than $50 at Best Buy.
tl;dr Best Buy price match to Amazon = $50 plus tax [on unlocked price].

Best buy makes commission based on how many they sell. So if it is free they make commission only but if it is more they make commission plus the price. The phones are worth 600 so either way your carrier loses money in the short term which is why there are contracts to keep you locked in. Best buy is paid by carriers for giving them 2yr customers.

Where would I get a best price for an upgrade for OG?
I tried Best Buy and they said they only activate new lines. I'm not sure if I was lied to by a sales rep so they would not waste time on customers with lower commission than activation a new line. Other places have the same attitude. It seems only ATT stores do upgrades and also phones are the cheapest there when you upgrade.
BTW, I am eligible for an upgrade (not early or anything).

Best Buy Mobile employees do not receive commission, and they also do do upgrades so you were lied to or at least misinformed but it wasn't because of commission... Perhaps a misunderstanding or a new employee, but as far as I know Costco is the cheapest right now but Best Buy will match any ones price so Best Buy is always the cheapest if you use price match.
The question is which stores have good prices on phone upgrades?
(They usually advertise new line prices only and upgrades are more expensive than AT&T store)
