Best/Cheapest place to buy EVO LTE? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

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.

Oh yea I was around for the wirefly debacle during release. Funny, I actually thought about going to check their price right before I saw your post. You know just to see.
Also might go check at Best Buy tomorrow at lunch.

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.

Sams Club here has it for $98

Amazon got it for a penny just sayin

Yep. The new price for the EVO at Sam's Club is 98.88. I hat when the price drops after I buy the item.

The one cent is only for new lines I believe. Not upgrades.

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.

49.99 at sprint's website right now .. for upgrades

This is very true........ That price hurts my heart tho....The most I paid for a phone was $650 I think and it was because I wasnt eligible for an upgrade and I believe it was either the Touch Pro 2 or that Blue World Phone that Sprint came out with a long time ago...
I paid $50 for my 3vo on launch day
Wiid is good for you
I would never pay more than 1-200 dollars for a phone. Anyone pays 4-500 dollars for a freakin phone to have for 1-2 years is crazy. **** I bought my sons first car for 600 dollars 2 years ago. If i pay 500$ for a phone I can be positive that within the next year or two there is gonna be a better phone out that I am gonna want. No way I'm paying that much

EVO 3D trade in value?!

Wow, Sprint really nuked their trade-in program. I was considering buying an EVO 4G LTE at full price (I am not up for an upgrade yet) in exchange for trading in my EVO 3D. But they are only giving $90 for the 3D! Wow. I traded in my EVO for $200 when I got the 3D. Did they gut the program?
I also considered Radio Shack. I know that last year they were also taking $200 for the EVO. But they are only offering $13! Insane.
It's valued for $120 at radioshack
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Should've bought your phone from bestbuy. They have the best buyback.
Up to 1 year you can get 40% back from price before carrier discounts (that's $280) and 30% back after one year.
So I'm planning on using my wife's upgrade on the Evo LTE which will be -$200 but then selling the phone back so I get +$280, ending up with $80 of money I can spend on whatever I want.
I basically got $80 for buying the Evo 3D...

When I traded in my OG Evo for the 3D on 7/23/2011, they were giving $150.00 since they were still selling them at the time and were going to sell for the immediate future. Since the Evo 3D is already EOL for Sprint, they really don't need them so they are priced low.
The 3Ds are still selling on Ebay for $150.00+.

$150 is probably what I got, not $200. I am just misremembering.
i can't post links yet, but check the best buy mobile phone page & look up their buy-back program. It looks like you could get around $100 from Best Buy even if you didn't buy it from them originally...

Its better to sell this phone solo than Sprint buyback.
$150 is a decent rate for a stock, great condition 3D,
+$$ with any extra hardware (SD/Cases/MHL).

Just sold my 3D for 150 and that was mint condition. Tried getting 185. People were offering like 100. Had it on craigslist and a few other places for weeks. Had one offer for 150 initially but turned down cause figured I would get more. Should have taken it and saved time. Oh well. 150 was best I could get.

best buy
2nd for buying it from Best Buy. Buyback program is quite handy for those who would upgrade often. I can get at least 150 for mine and I've had it since launch.
Feh, I don't get an upgrade until November. Might as well wait for ICS.
I think it's just this phone. It wasn't that big of a hit and the value on it isn't really good. There are Evo 4G's selling on CL around here for just as much as the 3D's are. When I sold mine I wasn't getting any offers more than like $140 or so because that's what everyone else around here was selling em for.

No, it was $599 at launch on Verizon and still is.
another cheaper way to get this is(verizon retail price), price match this to bestbuy for 599 and then use chase freedom credit card to get another 5% cash back(at bestbuy).
Or use amex credit card(by syncing them to twitter) u get 20$ back for 200$ spent at bestbuy..
and then use the chase freedom to pay the remaing 400$ and get back 5%(20$) at bestbuy .

So, I took my brothers upgrade and early upgraded to get the DNA (will be here Monday) and my brother can use my father's in Feb.
Paid $246 with tax and all the other crap.
$450 though is a heck of a deal.
Can't wait to get this phone, can't go wrong with having a DINC4G LTE for back-up either , should be ok til 3/2014 lol

Also anytime you are dealing with commission there are also chargebacks. So no you arent making the salesman any commission. But if their chargebacks are abnormally high you could be getting them in trouble.

With some discounts applied, some employers/schools have it waived.
I Did the same thing!
Got my Note 2 about little over 2 weeks ago for 189. PLUS got a $50 gift card that I applied towards the cost and end result was 149 bucks after tax.
What a great way to get a phone now though.. I used to always get my phones from Amazonwireless. But now that Best Buy Price Matches.. Ill be staying local till they quit doing it.

for sure i don't know why i didn't think about this on the past couple phones that i got like my nexus i coulda got that ***** for free

So it's $250 (port), $350 if your not porting

Contract price has been posted on sprint website today.
$250 with 2 yr contact (port your phone over). .
$350 (not porting)
Non-contract price is $699, not $799 (the bestbuy price).
https://shop.sprint.com/mysprint/sh...&flow=AAL&planSKUId=null&tabId=dt_phones&ptn=
I think it blows that sprint treats it current customers like step child's. I mean I've been with sprint for 11 years. And they say hey you can have the note 3 for 349.99 on an upgrade but the guy behind me print his number over gets a special $100 discount and gets it for 250. Gtfoh sprint. That blows

I think it blows that sprint treats it current customers like step child's. I mean I've been with sprint for 11 years. And they say hey you can have the note 3 for 349.99 on an upgrade but the guy behind me print his number over gets a special $100 discount and gets it for 250. Gtfoh sprint. That blows

ROOTED as of last night :laugh:
Flashed the De-Odexed, can't wait for the custom roms, themes, etc.
I removed the Sprint apps, looking into what Samsung apps I wont use/like to removed those too. Next on the list is delete all sounds I don't like such as boot-up, camera shutter, low battery.

Hmm what other advertisement did you guys use to use the price match with Best Buy? And if they do indeed match it does that mean we HAVE to get a new line and new phone number even if I have a upgrade?

I just took my phone in and showed them frys / Sams club / sprints site. The manager told the girl helping me to make sure the price shown was for upgrades.
Well let's just say the girl helping me was beautiful and I made it a point to smile, be nice, and make good conversation (flirt) and she didn't verify anything just matched the price.
I'll probably go back just to say hi :beer:
No new number. No new line. Upgraded my existing line.

I paid $350 at Best Buy because I didn't want to wait for Amazon or wirefly to get it in stock to save $50.
In terms of price matching at Best Buy I had a bad experience. The manager in the cell department told me that they only price match the price of the corporate stores. That's it. Won't match Amazon, Wirefly or other websites. He even showed me on his computer Best Buy's position on cellphone price matching.
To you guys who got the phone for $250 at Best Buy I envy you... big time.

Frys / Sam's club show it at $250, I had best buy price match that [kinda-- I just got a real friendly girl that helped me out too].
I too found out the hard way BB does NOT match online retailers [not to say some don't get lucky--BUT it does CLEARLY state it on their site].
So I talked to different stores, and I so happened to go to one a few cities away since the one in my town was lazy [the system was down and didn't to do it manually]. Luckily for me it worked out great!

Wouldn't it be worth going back and getting the price match retroactively for $100?
I added a fifth line to my SERO plan. They wouldn't give me $100 credit for porting a BOOST MOBILE number so I spent $10 on a Walmart Tracfone and port that number over. Corporate store had problem adding a 5th line to SERO without changing plan so I ended up calling it in. Now I got to wait on 2-5 days shipping.

so you bought the phone at 350, then realized you could price match, came back and did a price match after the fact? Or did you price match on the day and time you did the upgrade? Because I bought two note 3's October 4th and tried to price match today (about 6 days later) and was told no, you can only price match on the day of the fact.

Sorry I wasn't clear. By took my phone I meant my old E4GT (s2) and showed them on that. If you want the discounts try another person / manager in the store. If not then try another store. If all fails you can go the route of returning them within 14 days or threatening to unless they match the price.
Good luck.

Sams Club 288 plus 40 account credit for upgrade activation plus $25 FOR 4 months credit from Sprint account services ..
Sams waives the activation fee and gives you 25 dollar credit for a few months? Seriously?

$249.99 at amazon -- even for upgrades! I believe this is the best deal out there. Mine is being delivered today.
