Is that price new, or upgrade?

Looks like both.

How can it be both? lol
And maybe some indie Sprint dealers will do the rebate for you. I bought my Hero from an independent dealer and the owner paid the rebate for me, so I only had to front the 200 bucks.

Says who? ....

Isn't the upgrade price normally more at launch than signing up as a new customer? I have never bought a phone at launch. But for some reason I remember most phones being more for existing.

I've read the $10 charge is only for areas where 4g is available(since it is currently only 27 areas). Otherwise, it will not be charged for.

Damn $450 for those of not upgrade eligible......That or wait until December.....

A lot of things will be "heard". Im sure you are right, however nothing else has been specified except what I wrote.

what? no way without an upgrade discount it will only be $200... more like $700 you mean.

Sweet, I just got the email from Sprint. I wonder what the cost without a new contract will be.

yeah im due for an upgrade in november, so ill hold onto my hero until then. now that im layed off i just can't see spending that kind of $$. if the legend comes out for sprint i may have to look into that phone instead, im sure it would be cheaper.

Phone Offer: While supplies last. $449.99 - $150.00 (two-year activation) - $100.00 (mail-in rebate) = $199.99 (final price)
This is what is says in the small print at the bottom of the email

wonder how he got his hands on it, anyone have any ideas?

WOW you just way overpaid. You should have at least shopped around, they have been selling for 450-550 all day on ebay. Craiglist too. He got it from the Google I/O event.

Got it at the Google I/O most likely.
Congrats.

It's ok because i had actually pre-ordered it at best buy and $599.00 is retail without tax! So $675.00 shipped and bing.com rebate back is cheaper

if u buy at sprint its $450

and at radioshack its $499. Hope you enjoy your phone! hope it doesnt get lost or stolen in the mail.

Awww, did you get outbid? (kidding!)

Have fun. Enjoy the 30day free unlimited everything while you can. before you have to add $10 to your bill plus $30 if you want to tether

i got lucky and found someone on craigslist in the LA area for 600 cash if you guys are in the hood check it out I had a few responses to my ad got my hands on it now boy oh boy am i stoked

I also overpaid but I knew I was doing so. I just want it that bad. It should arrive in under an hour! yay! Now, this is also a Google I/O device. Does this 30 day unlimited thing include unlimited tethering?

being that it comes with a months free unlimited service, he didnt really overpay by that much and he wont have to sign a new contract or renew his original one. not really that bad of a deal if u do the math..............................

Yes. Free unlimited tethering, calls, data, and messaging. Pretty much anything except international calls. The trial runs out June 20 according to the Sprint flier that came with it.

I pickedi t up today at 10AM! First impression when i opened the box was holy **** thats a big screen, so far i LOVE the phone its sleek the screen looks amazing and is SUPER fast absolutely no lag. Now i can have a phone that'll make people with iPhone's jealous!

For what he paid he definitely overpaid. Retail is $450, so he paid $225 to get it less than two weeks early. He could have gotten the hotspot for more than 7 months for the same amount, or put that towards two years of the extra $10/mo. Either way, he better be totally happy with his purchase.

I get mine this Friday. I see you have that Google I/O informational form in your pic. Is that included in the phone's packaging?
The reason i ask is because I asked my seller about that form and he said that he didn't have it. he said that it might be packaged with the phone itself. He never opened the phone's packaging. So I told him that I'd just find out when i receive it.

Well it depends on where he would have gotten the phone from. Sprint $450..you can say he probably overpaid, $500 RS....you can say he overpaid, BB...I don't think he overpaid. i think its a great deal if you think about it.
Free everything for a month, no contract....etc.
And plus I'm sure there will be big shortage of these phones when they release. I stopped at the bestbuy by my house earlier today and the Rep there told me that this is the biggest preorder they ever had. I'm not sure if he was just talking about this particular store or Bestbuy in general. Just like the Incredible and the iPad this will be backordered. And if you think paying $670 is too much ....wait until June 4th
I think if you really want the phone, you saved up for the phone or whatever if you got the money then go ahead and get it. Because getting one on the 4th is not guaranteed.

Not to reign on some peoples parades of cost, but depending on the store, they may not sell you a phone off contract. I Lou of holding out for new customers and upgrades. Happened to me when I wanted a pre had to hold out a month for when online orders came around

get out off att contract

i want to end my contract with att but i dont want to pay 175 dollars is there a fool proof way to get out of my contract?

Actually I have a question here, too.
I'm eligible for upgrade next January. Does that mean I can get out of the contract by that time or do I still need to serve the full 2 years in their prison?

Are you on unlimited data? You could try to use an enormous amout of data... I don't know if this will work though, I have seen people's bill who have used 15-20gb's with no notice...
AT&T Fine Print said:
If you are on a data plan that does not include a monthly megabyte allowance and additional data usage rates, the parties agree that AT&T has the right to impose additional charges if you use more than 5 GB in a month. Prior to the imposition of any additional charges, AT&T shall provide you with notice and you shall have the right to terminate your service.

That's one reason I'm not hesitating on my data usage... I'm probably going to hit 10-12gb's this month and I don't tether at all, I wonder what I would use if I started tethering

No, having an upgrade doesnt mean you're out of contract. Unless your two years are up, you will still get an ETF. But at least its prorated.

I have heard that if you tell them you are leaving the country they will let you out of your contract without paying the ETF. Maybe tell them you or your family got a job in Europe or something.

you signed a contract, how about you honor it or pay the ETF like you said you would?

Sometimes I have heard that if you are moving to a new cellular company, you can convince them to pay the fee for you if you sign onto one of their contracts. Going from one contract to another, but if you wanted to switch to Verizon you might be able to get them to pay it for you.
(Notice: I have never done this nor know anyone who has tried it. I read it was possible online so results will vary. Also depends on who you are dealing with I assume)

As long as it is from reputable store (ie Best Buy, Walmart, Radioshack, Amazon, ect) you've not nothing to worry about regarding the ESN. Its only when you buy it from some guy on Craigslist or Ebay or something.

Yeah i know. But those reputable stores sell only new phones. Im okay buying used phone thats affordable. Its just that I have to risk when dealing in ebay/craiglists. If it was gsm, i wouldnt have to risk on getting a phone that wont activate. I think gsm phones worth more than cdma phones in ebay too.

Oh, I thought you meant "Sprint store" by official store.
You can check http://www.checkesnfree.com/ if you want. Or if you find somebody on craigslist you can have them meet you at a Sprint store and have them activate it before you give him your money.

CAUTION: The guy who wanted to buy my previous Epic used that website and it kept saying my ESN wasn't clean/clear. I offered to activate it at a Sprint store with him but he refused to travel half a mile (he's a Cricket ESN "repairman"). It was sold next day to a lady who activate it just fine.
Moral of the story is to always call Sprint or meet in store. The only concern after that is getting robbed and/or shanked D:

lol thats such crap. especially with the lack of prolific 4g markets...

Not for me. My family and I are on a 4 line family plan, i'm opening a 5th line to get this at the discounted price that way when my daughters line is up for upgrade (in July) I will just have her plan ported over to the new line and drop her old line so we're back down to 4. I'd rather handle this at a local store/branch just in case any issues arise.

Yep Yeah, that caught my eye too, but oh well, as long as I get my phone i'm good.

With Target announcing a one week delay in launch, and now Costco doing the same, I hope Best Buy still kicks it off as planned on the 21st. Anybody heard anything?

Haven't heard anything different yet. I hope we don't see any delays. I'm very anxious to get my phone lol

Same here....I called Best Buy Mobile a couple hours ago to see if they could give me an order status and maybe a solid launch date...I got neither. Oh well, I'll follow up on the 21st and go from there. I'm done wondering and worrying
