So last week I went to best buy to order my Evo and the rep there told me that they were not taking orders for the Evo. I asked if they were just sold out of reserves of if they werent taking them and she told me that Best Buy wont be taking reserves for that phone! Seemed crazy to me but i just went down the street to "The Shack" and ordered it there and saved 100 bucks and got a 20 accesory credit so i guess it worked out. Does anyone who works at best buy know if this is true or was she just blowing smoke up my ass? The store is in Springfield PA #582. By the way i CAN NOT wait to get my hands on this phone!!
Best Buy is taking pre-orders. That store was full of ****.
You probably just spoke with someone that didn't get enough oxygen when they were born. Best buy does pre orders and there is no rebate.
I kind of assumed she was just being a douche and didnt feel like ringing it up since it was 8:30pm when i got there. On the other hand the awesome rep at rat shack stayed 30 minutes after closing to set me up.
Best Buy's website says "Pre-order yours today at select Best Buy stores". Maybe your Best Buy isn't a "select" store?
yea my local BB is taking them i was the first to place my order
My BB is taking pre-orders ... I did mine almost two weeks ago and I was the very first customer.
Can someone help me understand this?
Since Radio Shack is giving you $50 gift card that can be used towards the phone purchase, along with instant rebate of $100 that means you will be actually spending only 299 - 100 - 50 = 149 + taxes.
Why would anyone buy from Best Buy? Are they too giving $50 gift card?
I also heard Radio Shack is giving you additional $20 for accessories!
Why would anyone buy from Best Buy then? Am I missing something?

You have to buy the $50 gift card, it isn't given to you. Basically you are putting $50 down to guarantee that they will have a phone for you sit it will be
$50 (at pre order) + $299 -$100(rebate) -$50(gift card) = $199 total.

They don't give you $50.
You buy a $50 gift card that can be applied towards the purchase of the Evo.
And yes, when you come into buy your Evo, they will give you a free $20 gift card that you can apply towards any EVO accessories.
I pre-ordered mine through Radio Shack and can't wait to get my hands on it!
I believe you have to exchange $50 american for the gift card. in essence paying for it. The $20 accessory credit will get matched by most best buys if you ask nicely. Neither require the mail in rebate. So at best they are the same, worse case is the shack is 20 dinar less.
When you pick up it will cost you 149.99 plus tax (unless you live in Delaware) since youve already paid $50.
I pre-ordered mine on Friday, they told me that's the last day for pre-order.
I see. Thanks ppl.
Anyway, that's good to know.
So basically, I went to buy a $50 gift card and also reserve a phone for free
Now, I will go on 4th June and give the $50 + 150.
Interesting. May be they are doing this just so that ppl won't ask for the refund? Even if ppl ask for it they will have to buy something from Radio Shack for $50 as they won't be getting the refund for that $50!
Good move by RS to increase revenue!
Now the question is, what if I decide to return the phone? Do I have to go to Sprint or Radio Shack?
If I have to go to Radio Shack, will they give me 199+ tax back or just the 149 (no refund on gift card)?
Can someone please explain? IF they are not going to give $50 gift card back then it looks like I have made bad move here!

Not sure about Radio Shack, but when I canceled my pre-order with Best Buy they gave me back my full $53 in cash.
I made sure to ask that when i reserved it. Radio Shack WILL NOT refund the money for the reserve/gift card, if you decide to return the phone they will refund the $150 via cash or card depending on what you paid with. The $50 for the reserve will be returned back to a gift card. So if you dont like the phone your stuck with a $50 Radio Shack gift card.

You haven't got yours yet and you are thinking in return it, may i ask why?
The person that said BB isn't pre-ordering the EVO was probably standing right in front of the display that said they are. The EVO pre-order ad signs were very predominantly displayed in the BB Cellular Departments.
Maybe they have stopped taking pre-orders, I told a few of my buddies last week that a pre-order can be done and upon arriving at BB they were informed that Friday was the last day for pre-orders.
friday was the last day of BBs first wave of preorders. we are now taking orders to be delivered on the 9th, guaranteed unitil the preorder is cut off. any preorders on or before the 21st will be at the store on the 4th for delivery.the stores do not know how many extra they are getting.

Just got my Sprint Touch for $200 (and there is a $100 Mail In rebate). Was eligible for the $150 discount as I did not get a new handset in two years! Makes it $100 after rebate!!
Not sure where to post this great deal and hence posted it here. Mods pls feel free to move this.
My friend I was thinking about posting that because I'm a manager at a Radioshack in Kansas but I kinda figured that most everyone in this SubForum already have a vogue. lol
I know But I know I visited this forum even before I got my Vogue to get reviews / upgrade possibilities. I targeted these guys and for people who loose their phones in toilets
Thanks for posting this. I gave up checking my local radio shack as they never had one on display. After reading this I went in today and they had it I'll be picking mine up soon with this deal.

Thanks for this. I just walked into my local radio shack and said "I read on a forum you can get me a touch for $100", the guys said "... um... ya I can do that." This is before he even looked up to see if I was a sprint customer or if I was eligible for a rebate! They didn't have one in stock but i'll be picking it up Wed.
If I hadn't just bought one for $150, I'd have been running to Radio Shack right now! I don't want to go through the hassel of returning the one I just bought to save $50 so I'll just have to subscribe to the fact that I've missed a good deal. I had to trade my 6700 and use my $150 benefit to get it down to $150.
I got my touch
Tweaked it a bit already.
Touchpal SIP
Google maps
resco explorer/registry editor (trial)
spb finance
Opera mobile (trial - might wait for 9.5 before I purchase)
Pocket CM
spb backup
I changed the pressure threshold and touchflo settings per this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360564
I did notice problems at the screen corners with buttons. They didnt respond well no matter how I pressed. Turns out the screen alignment could have been more precise, so I just reset it myself and all is fine.
It took me a few days to get activesync to work. The problem was microsoft money 2004 for pocket pc. Once I took that off and used spb finance it was fine.
I'm loving the touch. It makes my once beautiful palm m515 design look incredibly dated.
So again, thanks for mentioning this deal, I finally have replaced my cell phone and pda with one device
I got mine. Yes, RadioShack will do it for $100. Note that it's AFTER two rebates (but hey I can live with that). The rebates take 10-14 weeks.
Wow, I should have done some price matching before jumping for the purchase.
I just picked up a Touch last week from my local sprint store for $500 - $150 (upgrade discount) - $100 rebate = $250 AR
With the 30 day guarantee, could I return it and go to Radio Shack? In returning it, would they restore my upgrade discount eligibility that I used to buy it?
Am I hosed or can I still make this work?

Not hosed. Return it - call sprint. They might just price match it for you. Worst case - return and buy it at RS.
So I went called my local 'Shack and they are quoting a price of $249 after rebate for the 2 yr upgrade... Same price I payed from Sprint. On Radioshack's website it looks like they have it for $199 after rebate.
How are you guys getting this deal? Sorry for being a noob.

Thats what I was quoted first. Ask them to re-check in their system. They are probably just reading their old label on the display.
I am pretty sure you dont get the rebate unless you get a 1 or 2 year contract with the phone. I submitted my rebate through the verizon online rebate center and mailed away with my verizon receipt from my online purchase and the rebate form I printed online.
Was this a fluke on verizon's behalf since I paid $530 for mine and not a new contract or extension? I mailed my rebate last week and got it today. $100 rebate card!
thats not sure. u can get the mail in rebate with full price. also i ordered mine from customer service over the phone and i still got a mail in rebate form, im pretty sure I can get that also, which they gave me the instant discount already
Wait I am thinking about getting switching to Incredible from the Eris for a few reason, but is this really true? Because, at 430 plus tax that is cheaper than going the ebay route. What can the rebated card be used for, can it be just used for cash?
if you are anywhere over 12 months into your plan you can upgrade to a new 2 year plan and only pay a $20 early upgrade fee... making the phone $220 .. U upgraded my secondary line for the incredible and they keep sending me emails for an extra 50 off of another incredible to upgrade my main account early... making it $150... if you wait verizon will send you some discount soon... especially if you are a long term customer.... I'm 9 years with VZW and finally I have a phone I'm not ashamed to own
The rebate applies regardless of the price you paid. The only way it doesn't apply is if you received an instant rebate at the time of purchase. I too, paid full retail, and got my debit card yesterday. Bringing the total cost of my Incredible, after I sold my Moto Droid and accessories, to $64.00.
Where would have it the lowest price eligible for the rebate?

I could of sworn the fine print said it was only applicable to people who got a 1 or 2 year contract, not people who paid full price. When I ordered the phone full price it did not show any discount available like it does with the 1 or 2 year contract, it shows price after rebate...

That's right, because when you re-up, or do a new contract, they give you the rebate instantly. When you go the full retail route, you have to mail it in.
I also paid full price for mine 529.00 at Best Buy and they would not give me any rebate, instant or mail in. You would think paying full price they would cut us some slack
Wow thanks for the info. I had no idea I could qualify for any rebates, but mine's on it's way right now. That extra $100 will be useful for a proper battery/charger/AF that this phone shoulda been stock with!
To find out if you are eligible for a rebate, simply go here, https://www.yourwirelessrebatecenter.com/promocenter/verizonwireless/promo_search.html, and fill in the required information.
The rebate only applies to 1/2yr contracts, so if you received a rebate and paid full retail then you lucked out. The *instant* rebate only applies online, telesales (if you tell them your are having errors ordering online), or sometimes indirect stores, other wise if your order at direct store or through customer service by phone, you would recieve a *mail* in rebate. Exceptions can be made depending on the situation.
All I know is, I paid $529 for my Incredible, ordered on the VZW website, did not extend my contract, sent in the rebate, and got my $100. If people aren't interested in $100, then so be it.

Yep I just sent mine in too, sold my TP2 for $300, getting this $100 back. Overall price for the Incredible - $164. I can be happy with that lol
i must have way over paid phone after tax was 620 last one they had in stock in Vegas was on vacation and won enough to buy one now need to sell xv6800 maybe get 100 for that then total would be 420 but i won 700 of 50 dollars so win win.
Thank you guys SO MUCH for posting about this! I also paid full retail for my phone, $530 + tax, with NO contract extension, and asked the store reps specifically if I was eligible for the $100 mail in rebate, to which they said NO, and even on my receipt "(Rebate NOT Elligible)". Why I ever listen to those clowns, I do not know... they also said I was not eligible for the free 2gb memory card... eh no big loss there but still I wonder.
Anyways, I followed the link and found that I AM eligible for the $100 rebate, got the form right from that link after filling in some basic info, and will mail it off tomorrow with my UPC and copy of my receipt. I don't forsee any issue with getting my $100 card
You guys made my day, and my wife's day as well . I also was lucky enough to sell my Touch Pro 2 to a coworker for $300, plus this $100, brings my total out of pocket to ~$150... Very nice indeed for a new phone after only 6 mos!
So anyone get their rebates yet since I posted this topic?
I just found out last night Radioshack charges the fulll 199.99 for the phone, well in my case 149.99 because I got the $50 gift certicate. My question is, they can't break it down into payments? Or do I have to buy from Sprint? Ive been approved already for Sprint, so what should I do? Go to Sprint and get the phone or go through radioshack? What should I do about this $50 gift certificate which is non refundable?
any place is going to make you pay the outright price for the phone. There's no payment plans. Maybe if you sign up for a RS credit card you can pay it over a couple months, but then you'll be paying interest on it.
What are you? 12? You need to make payments on 149.99? Work a little harder at your lemonade stand this summer and buy one in September or something, Jesus.
If you can't afford the phone now, you probably shouldn't buy one.

Well, seeing as you already paid $50 for the gift card, I'd go with RadioShack. Anywhere you go, you are going to end up paying for the phone outright, unless you can get a RadioShack credit line.
Not my business what your situation is, that you need to break up $149 into payments, but it kind of reminds me of those people who buy expensive cars, yet live in dumpy houses, and can't afford the insurance or gas.
I just pre-ordered mine today, the sales rep couldn't tell me the full price of the phone today bc its unknown untill Friday morning. I know sprint will be seling it for $720 but wonder if bestbuy will increase the price to the point were the $200trade-in will be worthless.
Thanks

It wouldn't shock me. Personally, I've never seen the point in buying phones through Best Buy unless you want their device protection program. It's usually cheaper to just buy it directly from the carrier, either online or in-store.

The price is $799, I ordered mine off best buys website. My total price was just a little over $900 with expedited shipping. They are supposed to price match Amazon's price at $720 when I get the phone. Then I will get my $200 gift card for my trade in when I go into the store. Long story but last Monday they couldn't take pre-orders for Sprint so I had to order online, the manager told me to come back in with my trade in to get my gift card after I received the phone.

Why on earth would you pay $900 for a Note 4? If you wait like a day after the release date you'd see some on ebay for probably $500 where people paid the $300 & renewed their contract just to flip it and make $200 cash.
Hell, even if you setup a new line, paid $299.99 for the phone under a new 2 year contract then canceled the line and paid a $350 ETF, that's still $650 instead of $900.
My note 4 is arriving tomorrow and it's free. Samsung is giving me $200 for a trade in and Sprint is giving me $150 for changing to them from Verizon. Contract price $299.99 = me making $50.

That's what I had to pay up front since best buy told me they were out of pre-orders. Once I get the phone I'm supposed to take it to my local store and they will price match Amazon at $720 then I'll get a $200 gift card to make my total $520. I don't do contacts anymore with cell phone providers. I prefer to buy my phones out right and new. I've been burnt on eBay and craigslist!
You are the only person I've heard of that has said anything about buying a note 4 off contract and getting the 200 go. Everywhere else has said it has to be on a contract agreement, via contract or easy pay.

I don't know who "everywhere else" is but my local best buy store and the best buy mobile post purchase support line have confirmed to me that it is available if you buy the phone outright. I guess I won't find out for sure until I this weekend (I'm out of town). If for some reason I don't get the gc, the price is just not worth it to me. I'll return it and get the nexus 6, which I may do anyway.

I will confirm or deny this. I will keep you posted.
I just came from BestBuy and the $200 incentive is a gift card that you get when you buy a Note 4 + bring a working phone to tradein and either put it on an existing line or a new line. The giftcard can be used in any transaction you want like toward the note4 transaction a new TV, Laptop, etc..
Something i forgot to ask is if BB will match Amazone outright price????...... i heard that BB only match "with contract price" ...if some can let me know i will apreciated!!!
Thanks!!
note; the only situation that the gift-card can't be use toward is when choosing SPRINT EASY PAY.... the reason as to why is long and confusing... sorry!!!
Bought mine on the 29th and paid $950.
Since then price has dropped $130 to $820.
Trying to get some money back but no luck yet.
Hate to have to return the phone and get another one but may be the only option - I'm still in 14 day window of course.
Anyone else?
Upload a Pic of your receipt on Samsung pay and get $200 worth of points. This promo is from phones brought from t mobile and from 10/25 to 11/3. Yeah u lost out on the 130 but at least u get the $ 200. Me I lost out on both I brought mine last week from Samsung. Com
That's crazy, would it be worth it?
so potentially a new buyer could now buy one...today only, get $130 off from discounted price and then send receipt to samsung for $200 credit...right?

The $ 200.00 credit is done. Yesterday was the last day to buy it. You have until the 8th to upload it though. I think start date was 10/20 to 11/2 to be able to get the 200 credit in Samsung pay credit.

You're right! That's why the best course of action for OP is to claim the $200 credit since it was purchased on the 29th.
A return to buy a new one for $130 less would be a bad maneuver unless the OP also wants to buy the Fit Pro 2 for $49. Then, they could get $130 vs $200, but also gain about $150 value since the FP2 is regularly $199.
SO, ~$280 vs $200. But that ~$280 comes with some work.
The watch was a sumsung.com promo I think. I got mine for 50 last week with the online order. I uploaded a copy of the order Samsung emailed me and got approved. Yes it took me 10 tries but In th end it worked lol

Ended up getting a bill credit of $80 ($130 price difference - $50 restock fee). Was able to keep my original phone. Got the $200 Sammy reward card so final price like $670.

That's great, but I of would made them give me another phone. You paid restocking fee and yet got the same phone. Does it matter? Nope, but a restock fee is a restock fee. Your old one would went back to tmobile and would became a refurb.
I lucked out and got the Samsung $200 Note 8 discount. I immediately applied it to my EIP payments. $750 beats $950 all day every day.

Really, that is great and better then nothing
I bought one brand new sealed in box on Swappa 3 weeks after release. No tax or shipping, either.
