I'm definitely getting one... haven't decided on contract or not. I've been waiting months for this phone. Finally retiring my touch pro.
So there is the T8525 and T9193. I wonder if Tmobile's version model number will be different?
T-Mobile works fine in nyc. There's locations all over the place. I'll probably drop by in the morning. I hope it'll still be in stock when I get there, else I'll have to go to another location like 10 blocks away..

Why is it so cheap at 476.96? Is there a reason behind this?

yup, makes no sense, it's been3-4 months it's been out alright, but it still has OFFICIALLY 576mb of ram, and double the amount of rom. It still goes for 630EUR here in italy new in shops (even if noone buys it at that price anymore tho), so it seems unreasonable to have it so cheap (about 400EUR?) off the shelves... maybe was a typo?
im gettin one 2 on someone esle contract

I've been hoping for the RAMAROM threads to come back to life again so it would entertain me for 3 more weeks...
Not me, already ordered euro version, im on at&t anyways
yes im getting it with contract and EIP haha I don't care if it gets Windows Phone 7 im not really feeling the UI so far, but im pretty sure the Devs here will port it to the HD2 CANT WAIT! I got Hd2 in my twitter feed to see all the updates, people who work for TMO are already playing with it for training =\
The 24th can't come soon enough
Definitely getting it on the 24th on the $60 Even More Plus 500 minutes unlimited text and data plan. And since I live in Delaware, that means no taxes--->WIN!
I've been with t-mob USA for 6 years, and my dad 13? ish.. when it was that other company.
and finally after all this time there is a reason to actually have t-mobile, haha.
I'm getting it, without the contract.
If you buy an EVO 4g off craigslist for the price they are selling them for, you deserve it. I think it'd be cheaper to buy it on a new line for 199.99 and take the ETF.. LOL
all the ones around the atlanta area were for around $650... I think I can wait a week and get mine for $199.
However, I can't say it didn't cross my mind to bust out my check book.
I wish I could just put myself into a cryogenic sleep for 10 days.
... on a side note, that might be the nerdiest, most pathetic thing I've ever said.
There's more of a cost than just ETF, taxes, etc...
I got mine pretty cheap, cheaper than the $199 cost + ETF, so for me anyway I won at your logic..
Plus if you get one of the I/O phones, you get an extra $10 off your monthly cost (which they don't list it as a year or two year thing either...) because it's a dev phone.

where'd you get one for less then 199???????????/ tell me plzzzzzzz
people paying like 6bills heck even 7 are the dumb ones..
Someone here in Orange County was selling his boyfriend's for 350, he said he got it for a tech blog to review and just needed to get rid of it. Don't think they knew how much it really was worth. D;

$199 + ETF is not less than $199.
I myself am going a route that is not to be discussed on this forum... but I don't want to buy a phone for $450 + Taxes (around here it's roughly 10%), so in the end it'd have been close to $500. So instead of that, I paid less than $400 with a free month of service (including 4g, and the option to go the dev plan route later).
But yes, $600-700 is too much, but there's a decent amount of people out there with more money than time. Just like Wii, iPhone, etc.
I paid 500 for mine straight up, new in box. After having it a week I will say it was worth every penny! This is the device I have been waiting for all my life.
i'm excited for the phone, but you guys are like fiending for it... the device you've been waiting for all your life?
I got mine for $500. It is out for delivery right now. The anticipation is killing me!
None listed for my area but I can wait some people are flipping out to get it early

Same here. I'm not remotely eligible for upgrade yet, so I'd be paying $450 + tax for it anyway. $500 for the phone and getting in on the $10 off via the Google I/O dev deal is worth it!
I'm just looking to join the dev community and do some documentation for DC. I don't need to do anything underhanded like complain to Sprint and whine for a free upgrade or whatever. Just curious to see if anyone knows how or if there are any deals that'll knock a few bucks off the non-upgrade price for me.
PS: I can also wait, I don't need the phone immediately. Looking for July sometime when they're back in stock.
There's a guy who posted earlier with thread title (evo 4g sucks), maybe he'll be inclined to sell it?

Oh yeah. I saw that thread. Maybe.

Can't imagine why he would want to keep it since it suks so bad..?
Search Bing for Wirefly. They're selling it for $480, but Bing Cashback will net you fifty dollars. In total, it will come out to $430. That isn't much of a difference, but it IS cheaper.
Or, if you're really lazy, you can follow this link: http://www.wirefly.com/eCommerce/SpecialOffer.aspx?cid=35808_4da6dc3a520b46b9832a393cf5eaa11d.

I am not sure if you have a current phone with sprint. I got the Hero in November '09 and was not quite at my upgrade. I was able to go to the sprint store and trade in my Hero for $80. So the Evo was $449 - $80 which I paid $369 for it. The good thing is November if they come out with a faster phone I will be able to sell my Evo because it is unlocked and get a new phone with the upgrade discount and it will make up the difference.

I think this is my best choice in all honesty. I have the same situation.
I COULD sell my launch HERO on eBay or Craigslist but I'm not confident that anyone would buy it for more than $100 anyway. A piece of the volume rocker cracked and some of the metallic paint is wearing on the back button.
I believe I'm also a premiere customer or whatever they call that, so yeah in October/November of this year if they release a new phone, I'd be eligible for $150 off or something.
EDIT: Another idea is to grab the EVO on Wirefly and get the $50 cash back, that's $430. Then try to give back my HERO for $80, that's roughly $350 for an EVO at that point. $350 isn't bad. It's kind of like a moron not mailing in his rebate and then ordering overnight shipping and having it delayed for 4 weeks. I could be comfortable being that moron.

I am not sure Sprint will do a trade in unless you buy the phone from them. If you decide to do this, ask to keep the battery for the hero. It is the same battery the Evo uses.
Get one for $450 and sell your previous phone to subsidize it. I got $225 for my Hero.

try this. have someone else put the phone under their name so you will get it for $199, then do a change of liability and put the phone in your name. not sure if they pay an etf cause they are transferring the contract to you. if not your all good. what i did was open up a business account and only paid 199 then i ported my old number to tmobile. 3 days later i ported it to my business account. paid an etf but only paid 199 for the phone and can sell my old phone to balance out the etf.
I ended up having to grab it off the Sprint website because Wirefly, Newegg and all the others stopped offering the phone. Unfortunately this means that I have to pay a hefty tax for the device bringing the total up to about $495 for the phone. To subsidize this though, I'm going to attempt to sell my HERO for about $100. I might even try to participate in the recycling program instead so that I can get $80 back and keep my battery/sd-card.
Either way, if I find that the phone sucks hard, I can just turn around and sell it. Also, if something more awesome comes out by October (my 1-year contract mark), I can upgrade to it and sell the EVO for a decent price.
consider this idea.. only an idea...
try Best Buy.. so they can give you instant rebate.
tell them you want to cancel your contract..pay the fee. i am guess it is $150.
get new contract.. have them port the number to new contract. get the EVO for $199.
Trade the Hero into BB for $80-100 (i have heard some have gotten $110)
if it works. 199 +150 - $100 = 250
maybe.. a shot

Wont work.
a. Unless you have another line available to add, you can't turn one off and then add a new one right away.
b. You can't port a number from a deactivated line (and usually not within the same carrier.)
I suppose one could try to pay the ETF to have Sprint at least change the contract from 2-yr to month to month. Although they'd probably be confused by this, and probably wouldn't let you do it to begin with. Then just sign up for a new plan, and start a new 2-yr contract. I really doubt that could work.
Alternatively, I suppose if one didn't want to keep their phone number...they could just ETF, and purchase the new phone and contract.
Really I'm not willing to **** around with any of that though. I was more interested to see if someone like...knew a guy who had a trick or coupon code, or had access to some kind of super secret "knock-a-few-bucks-off-for-a-friend" deal.

I don't specifically know how rjohnstone got it for $149.99, but AT&T gave me an additional $50 off because it had been more than 2 years since I upgraded.
So I preordered mine for $149.99, and received it yesterday.
got mine for free period.

Been a Premier customer for the better part of 10 years. I spend a lot of money with them, so I typically get an extra $50 off any device I purchase.
One of the many reasons I will not leave AT&T.
Got mine for $113 out the door after RZ cerifiates that I got for free fro
Best buy because they goofed up in my account in Xmas. AT&T will price match the $129.99 from Walmart but I did not want to do it because their restocking fee is $35 ...

If I'm not eligible for an upgrade - any way I can score one of these deals? Or - even better - without extending my contract?
Amazon Wireless is now down to $129.99 but they are backordered. I have a feeling they lowered the price in order to still maintain the pace of orders until stock comes back in. Kind of sucks because I wanted to try it in Tucson next week but oh well, I'll have it when I get back.
Paid $43 for mine
Was the only guy at Radio Shack this morning (Only Dork sez the wife). When they opened another guy walked in right behind me. Turns out they only had 1 and I got it for 149, and then they offered me $106 for my iPhone 3G, which I took, so in the end $43 bucks for a phone that beats the pants off my old 3G for performance...
I admit I don't know if $106 for a so-so condition 3G is good or not, but if I consider I don't have to try and sell it, etc... and it would have sat in my drawer where it would be forgotten. All in all a good deal to me,
just got mine for $99, confusing the sales rep
He ran the phone number, premier came up and it said the price was $100 for the phone or $400 for the dock and phone and I took the phone for $100 because I hadn't yet seen the tethering/hotspot fix info that came out earlier today.
The store said that the dock required the tethering deal which requiring giving up the unlimited data. My understanding is that is half correct: you don't need the tethering plan to have the dock but you need hotspot on the phone to make it work. I further understand that it is true that the tethering plan is not avaialble at any price with unlimited;
Has anyone found it yet at Costco who generally sweetens the deals very well with chargers and cases, and often discounts.

I can only chock it up as a premier flaw. Got two for $168 shipped, no contract extension. I still have yet to be charged for them, and somehow they removed my car dock on the order, so I think they really messed my order up. Anyhow, I'm way happy with this phone. This is how android is meant to be.
Greetings all,
I have been a long Time fan and browser of XDA, I hardly Post on here cause pretty much all my questions get answered by the allmighty "Search" button.
Well anyway, I have had my Incredible for Over a Year, It is one of the Originals that came with the Super Amoled Screen.
I Am switching to T-mobile with a Family Plan, Verizon is just gonna be too expensive... Considering their new Data plans...
So I will be selling my Droid Incredible, Which is currently Rooted and Running CM7. It is in Great condition, everything works... I like to take care of my things, especially if they are expensive.
So I was Wondering What would be a good price to sell my phone? I dont have the box, or Stock Charger, I have a regular wall charger.
Just thought I'd let you know the Sensation was free online last night for new customers. I think it was only a three hour sale. Midnight-3AM

No more than $100. For a phone that already has a sequel, most people aren't going to be interested in buying it.
I paid $120 for mine locally off CL about two weeks ago.

Used ones are >$150 on eBay and only the bad ESN ones sell for around $100. $100 for one with a good ESN is a bargain.
