So this is the deal guys...today i try to go to best buy and radio shack and come to find out that i am not eligible for the evo until September and my wife phone until July next year i wanted to get two evos... so on april 19the sprint called me that they woud take 70 dollars off for each line if i agree to to be another 2 years with them and i was like ok sounds good i told rep that if i was going to have any problem getting the evo when it comes out soooo now i come to find out that i can not get the evo on release date .....sooo what do ytou guys suggest i do ..........oh yeah by the way i have to htc pro 2's
Aget somebody to get a new 2 year agreement and give them my htc pro 2 free and i get the evo
Bbuy it at full retail price ...... which i think im not cause its too epensive
CWait until retail price comes down
D just discontinue service with sprint
B or C are your best bets. If you sell the 2 TP2's you should offset quite a bit of the cost.
D - I don't really understand how this is going to help you get EVO's... It seems to be the exact opposite.
sell your tp2's, cancel your contract, pay the etf and buy the phones on a new contract. You could probably get $200.00-250.00+ each TP2 on ebay. Pay the ~50.00 to cancel your contract, ~150.00 for your wife's.
So:
+ 400.00 TP2 sale
- 200.00 cancellation fees
- 400.00 new EVO 4G phones
- 72.00 activation fees
= $272.00 total to get 2 new Evo's.
Sounds like a good deal to me.

Buy at full price now, come september use your upgrade to get another one and sell it on eBay.
Buy one Evo at full price. ($450)
Sell the TP2 on ebay (around $250)
Net outlay= $200 (same as you would pay to upgrade)
September, upgrade the other line to Evo or the next "latest-greatest"

Bingo. Not to mention that I don't think Sprint lets you cancel your service, and then reactivate it immediately. Isn't there a waiting period?

60 Days I believe.
Yeah I am doing the same for my Hero. I am going to have them replace it for a refurb because A. the battery cover does not stay on and B. there is dust under the screen.
Then I hope to sell my Hero on ebay for ~$230
Pay Full out for the phone $449
So that comes down to ~220
Not bad for getting a super phone basically on an off contract device. Does anyone know if I will get charged for another activation fee if I am activating a new phone on a contract?

i called sprint to deactivate and cancel my other line they just told me to pay 100 for etf and then u could activate another line thats what ima doo
Anybody want to buy an evo? Excellent condition clear esn..cimes with original box and accessories plus some really good earphones.
No thank you.
All spelling errors thanks to xt9 on my Evo!
i just bought my brothers from sprint for 325.. new line.. im assuming a person with an existing line would want it .. for maybe 40-60 bucks less..
Not that I have any problem with this thread, but you'd probably have better luck trying to sell an evo somewhere other than a forum full of evo users.. unless you get lucky and someone was dense enough not to get insurance and broke theirs.
My wife is looking to get an Evo (from Hero), but seriously bro... The phone is $480 (after taxes in NY) when it's NEW in a box. I don't see anyone buying a used Evo for any more than $360 or so.
Gazelle.com is paying $294.00 for it now.
Ian B
he can get the price for it, evos are still sold out and lots want to buy a rooted evo ( not sure the OP's is) if it aint root it lol
I just sold my evo for 440.00 with 7.00 shipping on ebay. I know ebay fees suck, but still a good price. I bought a new in box epic for 554.99 that came with a case, extra battery and screen protector. Overall, I am happy. hope the epic is truly epic because I am going to miss my evo, but need a keyboard.
You can buy this direct from sprint for 449 plus tax (no contract). I just did it the other day to get my wife one. Need to lower the price some if you want to sell it. Also as far as being sold out my store has evo's all the time. The store is Midland, MI if you guys want to check it out.
My wife had a free upgraden for being the primary, so I got her an Epic, which is what I was wanting! She loves it, but I am stuck with her old moment for the time being. Does anyone not like their epic or know how to get an epic at contract price when I am not up for an upgrade?
When is ur upgrade? If its not too far then u can call acct services and try and get it moved up. I got mine moved up a month.

I came into the same problem. Got my gf the phone and fell in love! There are a few options you have. Depending on how long you have left in your contract you can open another phone on your plan and eat the early terimanation fee. If yho decide to do this you'll lose your old number. This is only good if you're 9 to 1 month on you're way out of the contract cause of the prorating on the etf. If you're 12months into the contract you can upgrade with 100 dollars off. And time before 12 months you might as well pony up full price for this awesome phone. I canceled out of my old contract payin 90 bucks to do so. I think it was well worth it!

Damm, you can't even sweet talk your wife out of a phone? How lame is your game.. Did you try a back rub or tickle her feet ? Works for me sometimes...
my i bought my phone back in october/november, so i have 13 months remaining. oh well I will see what they can do for me next month
Just thought id let anyone know whos interested htc hero is .01 with a new line of service on amazon.com . Just picked up 2 for my parents and have them both rooted already using universal androot.
Got one off Amazon for the gf last week
1c? is this just for new upgrades?
At this point they should be paying you $100+ to sign a 2 year contract with the outdated phone. What is sad is that Sprint does not have a more current android phone without the dumb 4G tax.

the hero is only a year old next month. it's still a decent phone. tbh the evo will be considered outdated as well by x-mas. the thing that worries me is the fact sprint has not announced their fall/winter lineup yet. i really hope the hero2 or updated desire is coming.
i do not want nor need a 4g phone. the $10 coolness fee is a joke and 4g kills your battery big time.

Yeah. I'd be perfectly fine with a phone with faster specs, without 4g. If I need 4G, I can use wifi >.>

Technically you could always sell the phone and use the money towards a better one. Would love a non-4G phone to come out, gah.

this is only for new customers, not for renewing customers . A good deal for a new customer non the less since best buys best price right now is 99 bucks. My parents and my girlfriend just switched to sprint and recieved this for a penny. This phone maybe outdated to some advanced users here but my parents and gf dont qualify as advanced and they love their new phones.Also a side note sprint canceled their referal program but I played stupid and asked if we both get a 25 dollar credit for the referal and they did it for me when activating my parents but said they no longer honor the program when activating my gf, so I guess it depends on who you speak too.

im a premier customer and get upgrades every12 months .Correct me if im wrong but arent we all premier customers with the hero since monthly charge is at least 69 dollars . Therefore theyd only have to use the outdated phone for 12 months

True but we're still stuck with no phone options...where's a moderately sized up to date phone without 4g ...the hero owner is the new version of a 'g1 owner' lol

sounds like sprint is in a damned if you do damned if you dont situation. They rolled out the evo and the epic and raced to do it with 4g coverage and now we want a phone like the evo and epic minus the 4g.lol
Just got done doing planogram in my store and it looks like the EVO 4g phone has been bumped down to $99.
Nice! Never thought about the fact that my phone would one day become almost entry level
LOL
I just got mine for 200 2 months ago what a shame. 3d looks so sick
Free at target for new customer or add a line. Dang I just add my daughter line with the Samsung Epic for $49.99 which I thought was a good deal, oh well she's happy with her Epic. But dang free for the Evo is a steal IMHO.

yeah i work at target my co worker had brought one a week before it went free lol he was sorta mad but he got it for 99 i think
Free from Best Buy and Radio Shack too
I feel like i been robbed. i left metro a couple months ago and paid 200 for mine also. Should have been just a bit more patient but my wife had the shift.. Maybe i was a lil jealous... lol
Is the perfect gift to my brother birthday.
Ok, so I have a question....
I added my wife's best friend to our plan about 2.5 weeks ago and she got the Nexus S. She hates it (reception issues). She is going to return it and get the Evo 4g (my wife has this phone, and so she knows it works and likes it). I was wondering if anyone had any idea how to return it to the sprint store, then go get the evo from best buy (LOL). This way, she gets 200 dollars back and has to pay 0.
The only way I can think of is to cancel the line altogether, then open a new line at BB, but she just started giving that new number to everyone and I don't think she wants to go through it again.
So if I have an upgrade I can go get a free evo? My brother has been wanting me to flash my evo to cricket and sell it to him and get another Evo. I won't be getting the 3d anytime because I have a tablet now and the EVO does enough for me. Don't see the point in having a really nice 7 inch tablet and really nice evo3d.
Nice to know!
MM
the evo is also free at http://wireless.amazon.com with new account. i bought it night before last and should be here any minute
I got mine free last week at best buy, with a 1 year upgrade, since they took away my Premier Gold status.
Nice, I'll go buy another one right now since it's so cheap , oh but I'm only half way through my 2-year, so I'll buy another one next year when it's $50!
I am trying to talk my girlfriend into getting an Evo, but she is Crackberry faithful, and thinks the Evo is too big to fit in her pocket at work. She is the last hold out in a house full of Androids.
I just scored one for my wife for $75 from Sprint Corporate. I have no idea how it arrived at that price so don't ask! ;-)
I just bought an Evo 3G yesterday for $150 at a Sprint store. Can I get a $50 credit from them or do I have to completely return it and buy another one?
Well that was easy. Called the store and they put a $50 credit on my account, took about 3 minutes.
Of course lol
Gotta be a sign that something better is coming out. If they're dropping prices this much for an EVO trying to rid quantity, a new phone upgraded EVO must be around corner. And no the 3d isn't it.
