Cheapest Price for the Evo 4G LTE? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

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.

thinking about BestBuy trade in?

It looks like most Retailers are accepting trade ins on most electronics. This could help out with the purchase of your non upgrade purchase or make your upgrade almost free! I also looked and radioShack, Best Buy, Ebay instant sale, and Amazon below you will see the current (as of 5/23) trade in values.
-----------
best buy offers $132 on a gift card. http://www.bestbuytradein.com/bb/
------------
Radio shack currently offers $179 Gift Card, for a used EVO 4G in great condition, $155 in good condition. Radio Shack Trade And Save
------------
Ebay has a instant trade value if $223 Cash PayPAL required http://green.ebay.com/instantsale/
------------
Amazon has a trade in of up to $114 currently, and they just give you a girft card. Amazon Trade In Program
------------
Sprint offers $150 credit on your bill for the EVO 4G Sprint Buy Back Program
Looks like you have to mail it in to Best Buy for the gift card which says it takes 7-14 days after receiving the item. If you were able to do it in store that would be cool and I would probabaly think about doing it depending the the 3d price.
Anybody know if it can be done it store?

there is a drop down near the bottom of the page that lists states, find your state then select your city, It turns out the bestbuy I pre-ordered at is a trade in center.
did a little shopping around and it appears that radio shack is offering $179 trade in for the evo 4g in excellent condition, $155 for good condition, and ebay has a instant sale program where $188 for a evo in great condition.
Im going to pre-order at the shack today because they actually know what they are doing when it comes to account management. the best buy pre order I was told is refundable. but either way I will be selling my evo using one of these programs.

So If the price is $199 (when I use my upgrade) minus the 139, minus the $50 pre-order gift card = $10 on launch day.

Im going to be doing the same thing. I did that with my pre when I got the evo. The thing is once the evo 3d is out evo 4g prices will drop on ebay. I know I can get a bit more like 180 for the evo but it just easy to trade it in at best by for 150 and get a new phone for 50 bucks. cant beat that. I only paid 40 bucks for my evo so either way a new phone for 50 bucks is great.
Amazon does trade-in's now too:
EVO 4G trade-in
currently up to 209 bucks... i'm sure it will drop over time though... I know best buy's trade in was 175 bucks a week or so ago
Do you guys really think price will be $199? Im thinking $149
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I think its going to be 199 and sprint gives you 149.99 for the evo right now not sure what it will be when evo 3d comes out though
So i went into my local Radio Shack and asked about the trade in program and the guy said yes "we do participate in the program but honestly why would you want to do that, Ill give you $200 for the phone right now" he looked at the phone and determined that it was in the good quality bracket. and would be able to give me $155 in store credit. he said to get the $177 it cant show any wear at all. and mine shows wear by the hdmi/charge ports. other than that its been in an otterbox.
Sprint just gives you a $150 credit on your bill. Im not sure if you can put the new phone on your bill.
also anyone know If I can use my %25 employee discount on new equipment purchase?

Can't use the discount for phone purchases.
The last couple of times I ordered through telesales they billed me Sprint account. Not sure if you need to meet a certain criteria for that though.
I wonder if RS is going to reduce their trade in value to $100 like it says in that "leaked" ad, from the current $179 trade in value. If so I might go in a day or 2 early and get the $179 on the gift card and then go in the next day and purchase the evo 3D.
Does sprint have it where you can make payments, if you buy it at full price?

I have been told that if you order over the phone, You can have the phone billed to your account. And I have heard that it could be split into 4 billing cycles. but I would call to make sure.

[Q] Rebate after buying E3D?

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 $125 credit.
And yes, the port in credit is until JULY 23, not June--no matter what they tell you (I've had to correct 4 different sprint employees on this!!)
http://www.sprint.com/landings/portcredit/?ECID=vanity:switchtosprint
I got a 150$ 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.

[Q] What did you pay?

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
Pre ordered mine from Radio Shack ...
199(phone cost) -150(traded in Evo) -50(pre order gift card) + 15(otterbox Impact case) + 25(invisible shield screen protector) = $40 Out Of Pocket!!!

I have no discounts available, except what they would give me for a trade in on my evo. so $549-??? = way too much for a phone
I would take definitely take it for $199 signing a new 2 year agreement

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
I paid $179.99 two year contract here.

Great E4GLTE price!

Most people know about this, but I want to remind anyone who is preordering. Walked into bestbuy this afternoon, was told by the cell phone tech that if you preorder the phone, you get $50 off the price, then when you buy it, you get a $50 gift card. I also am gonna trade my beat up OG EVO for $50. You can use the gift card towards the purchase of the phone, so that makes the phone cost $50!!!, then whatever activation and sales tax. Looking forward to getting my phone next week, and now even happier that I'm not breaking the bank.
Also, if you preordered from sprint, it takes about 10 minutes of being nice on the phone, and they will cancel your other preorder no problem. Just told them about the great deal, and they were like, hell, I would take that deal too!!!

I mentioned this in another post. I'm either getting the phone for free if we can use gift card for pre ordering the phone or I'm paying $50 if I can't. Either way its a heck of a deal

Yeah, it's all kind of weird because a lot of us (myself included) preordered at best buy, and were told that best buy isn't doing the 50 gift card ting this time around. We didn't exchange any cash with best buy and were just given a reservation sheet of paper.

You might be able to answer this. I did a preorder at best buy put down 50$ in the form of a GC. Since you mention it isn't required, any chance I could return the GC ( i buy mostly from amazon).
Also I did the preorder with wirefly, hence the reason for wanting to return GC.

I would've felt the same way. No way I would've been able to turn in my OG Evo. Could have kept it around as a backup phone, etc. Too much of a friend to just turn it in for a measly $50.
But Lucky for me (or Unlucky) I ended up dropping my OG Evo into a lake on Sunday, where it promptly sunk to the dark deep bottom.

i work for bestbuy. you will get a gift card at the time of purchase, the system will prompt for it. and you can use it to buy the phone. the reservation does not cost anything, they are suppose to override the 50$ cost.
I am due for an upgrade. I pre-ordered my Evo through the Wirefly Friends and Family website for 119.99 no tax and free shipping. I have 5 lines, all out of contract, I called Sprint and told them I did not want to pay an activation fees they gave me a 100 credit for exteding the primary line contract for 1 year with out losing the 150 upgrade credit and they also gave me 25 credits on the remaining 4 lines without extending those contracts. I also plan to trade in my current EVO thru the Sprint buy back for 70. I also plan to call Wirefly about getting the 36 activation fee waived on their end. I think i made out pretty good on this deal.

The gift of being rid of that ****ty phone...

$100 in RewardZone certificates if buy EVO 4G LTE

%[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.

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

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

What $50 GC? -50$ Freedom ended in Feb, -50$ Pre-order probablay ended last night , and the -50$ LTE ended on the 1st.. All I think we have now is a Target or Sam's Club PM @ $149 and or this -100$ RZ credit.
Anyone else have any ideas not including trade-ins?

PM?
walmart has it too for that price I think.
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.

Just Released Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE
$50 gift card with 2-year activation at Best Buy by 7/7/12.
its right on their website
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.
