Evo 4G off contract price?

I see $450 being thrown about but come on, that's too good to be true. I called Best Buy and was quoted $700.

sprint email
the sprint email i received said $499 was the price...direct from sprint...see my post under evo 4g launch event...i just left best buy and they told me they have nothing on the pricing yet!! (even though i was going to pre-order!!...they said it is whatever the rebate price from sprint ($199))

actually retail$450.$150 instant discount,u pay $300 up front then u get back $100 mail in rebate that leaves to $199 with new activation.

Wouldn't be surprised if there's a lot of misinformation floating out there, but I called a Sprint Store directly and they informed me the retail price is $449. He had to put me on hold to call corporate. $450 is ridiculous for something like this, and I still don't quite believe it.
What sucks even more is my 30 day window closes on June 2nd!! But if I can sell a brand new hero for $200 I won't mind fronting the other $250.

When the EVO was announced at CTIA I immediately signed up for news updates at the Sprint EVO site. Yesterday I received a promotional email FROM SPRINT that says "...$449.99 - $150.00 (two-year activation) - $100.00 (mail-in rebate) = $199.99 (final price).". I literally just now copy and pasted that quote from the email!
So, will Best Buy offer it at the same price or not? I'm ashamed to say, when I was there pre-ordering it this afternoon, I was assured that pre-orders were for unsubsidized phones as well as new service (or upgrades) but I forgot to ask what the non-discount price was because I assumed it was the same. Now I'm wondering...

I just pre-ordered my Evo at BestBuy today and didn't even think to ask what retail was. I just assumed it was the $450 like Sprint said.
Sure hope I'm right. I thought it was too good to be true as well but coming out of Sprint's mouth it was hard not to pay full price.

I preordered at bestbuy too.
occasionally they mess up and give me the lower out of contract price but either way...I'm buying this phone!

Return it

I have heard that what people are doing in a situation like yours, is that they are just going to return it, get another phone (like the moment or something) and then return it again for the EVO. Sure you'll have to pay restocking fees, but it will cost less then selling your Hero.

449 is probably the starting price based on signing a 2 year contract. It will likely be higher if you are going with a non-contract outright purchase. Our prices at The Shack work that way at least.

With Sprint from the past, whatever the price is before they apply the discount for new service, new line, or upgrade is usually what the price of the phone is. It is a little hard to believe this amazing phone is $450 but I've noticed one thing android phones tend to be cheaper than their WM counterparts, not always but usually. With that said I'm sure Sprints plan is to keep as many customers as possible as well as get more with this phone and they can always make it back with the cost of the plan. I also went to pre-order mines from best buy today but before I commit to it I wanted to make sure what the unsubsidized price would be but unfortunately the guy helping didn't know. He just said it would probably be about 600-700. The email as stated though says $450 so before I committed I wanted to find out what the real price will be before I commit to a higher price than what Sprint is actually selling for since I just used my upgrade in January for the Hero so I have to wait until next January. I have had the experience depending on who you deal with that even if you aren't eligble for an upgrade they would still sell you the phone at the upgrade price. Also a post above stated that they were going to get the 100 rebate still, is that even possible without it being a new activation or upgrade or were they just helping you out?

Chatted with Sprint rep today via website and confirmed...
...that the off-contract price is $449. If this turns out to be true...that's FU*KING GREAT!!! I really hope this phone ends up being the real deal. This could be an all-out effort from Sprint to extend what potentially is the hottest phone of 2010 to anyone who's interested at great price whether new customer or otherwise. Gain new customers and stop the bleeding of existing ones...makes sense.

there also seems to be a very gradual shift away from outrageous off-contract prices (FTC pressure maybe?)... nokia smartphones have been reasonably priced off contract (gsm models anyway) for some time now, and while 450 is a bit low it doesn't seem impossible.

Yeah, I'm going back to BestBuy today to cancel my preorder. Their are just too many rumors of BB charging $600+. Hopefully I will have luck on my side on June 4 when I go to the Sprint store to buy one.

$599 off contract confirmed at BB.$450 at Sprint. My Sprint store isn't doing preorders.. looks like I'll be taking the fourth off from work.

$450 from Sprint directly. Periord. End of story. Other retailers such as Best Buy and RadioShack have the ability to raise the price if they want, and it has been confirmed that Best Buy will be gouging it to $600. It has been reported that RadioShack will only charge the standard $450.

Can anyone confirm the 450 in writing from a sprint store after you paid for a pre-order?
I will go to 20 sprint stores in my area if one will do that for me.
THANKS!!

Sprint sent out the announcement email with the $450 price, and many people have had them confirm it via support.

Yeah, I've printed a copy of that announcement from a link someone posted to be safe but what I'm most concerned with is trying to get a pre-order confirmed at that price. I don't want to have to wake up crazy early and then hope that they don't try to screw me that morning of by telling me they are only selling to upgrade customers since those are the people they make money off of. That could very well happen, that's exactly why I want to pre-order.

Appears that corp stores are NOT taking pre-orders. If anyone finds out different please post about your story.
Thanks

Will bb price match?

I can preorder from a Sprint store, right?

I just canceled my Best Buy preorder when they told me that they would not price match Sprint if they marked the price up.

When I called them they said they didn't know and normally don't know anything till the day before.
They were pretty much useless to me. Sprint has already announced the price so the chances are pretty slim they will just all the sudden increase the price.

My Sprint store would not let me pre-order. They said they would be happy to call me when the EVO arrives.
EDIT: Best Buy sold me a $ 50 gift card to use for the purchase of the phone or anything else in the store (or cashed in). In my opinion this is a no lose situation. If Best Buy decides to up the price (which I HIGHLY doubt) then I can just cash in the card and walk over to the Sprint store.
I also just looked at the Best Buy site online and the fine print keeps deferring back to the Sprint website for more details. To me this means the price will be the same, $450 unsubsidized - $150 upgrade - $100 mail-in rebate = $200.
EDIT-2: It's looking more and more like TheBiles is correct. More than one person has reported that BB is going to charge $600.

There has been a lot of talk that Best Buy will charge $600 off contract, which is what I'm ordering. They've done the price gouging in the past as well. Does anyone know the off contract price at Radio Shack?
EDIT: Apparently Radio Shack is only accepting preorders for contracted phones. They told me that they don't yet know what the final price will be. The Sprint store told me to come back in a week and they would probably be taking names for reserves. Though I'm not too worried about them selling out here.

I went into a Sprint store because Best Buy in Washington state will apparently not ever carry Sprint phones in store (they said they can only carry 3 major carriers and chose AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon) - I assume this is because T-Mobile US headquarters is in Factoria, WA outside of Seattle?
The Sprint sales manager entered some info into the computer (my Name, Social Security Number, Address, current phone number) and looked like he wrote my name and some sort of confirmation number on a post-it note. He said I have one reserved for the 4th and they will call me the 3rd to schedule an appointment to pick it up after the morning rush has died down. I expressed concern because I wanted to make sure I would have an Evo if they sold out, and he said not to worry, I will definitely get one.

I'll go to a Sprint store in the morning. The dude at BB said "you do know it's gonna be around $700 right?" .. uhhhh no thanks pal..

Yeah, my Best Buy was totally ****ing clueless. They were all like "Um, we have no idea what the price will be, but we do know that we will not match the price on it." I was like not a chance.

I work at a sprint store in WA, we are officially taking pre orders for the phone. I hear they have a ton in the warehouse, but with the magnitude of interested I'd get to it quick.

As a sprint employee, can you tell me if there's any "official" preorder process? I didn't receive a receipt or confirmation number, although the employee seemed to write something down after putting my info into the computer. I did tell him I would be signing up for a new 2yr contract as well.

There should be, I was told there was, but the link to whatever they are working on is broken thusfar. It should be up soon. What our store is doing is taking down names, numbers and emails, and then transfering them to the real pre order list once it becomes available. After that you will get an email with the pre order confirmation.

For anyone wondering if BB will raise the price, they will. Look at their off contract pricing for the Hero and Moment. $599 and $629 respectively. No doubt BB will raise the price. I need to see if Sprint will charge me a deposit to open my own account again instead of my family's account. If I can I pay my $200 etf, plus $199 and it still comes out cheaper than $450.

$149 + $36 Activation as good as it gets?

We are going to get at least one EVO Shift 4G today and I'm looking for the best price (at a local store, not online). Is $149 + $36 activation pretty standard or are there better deals to be had?
We're in San Antonio, TX if it helps. Thanks!

I believe in store that's about it. The $149 is pretty well set from what I can tell. What sucks is the activation fee, if you order online you don't get it, but if you buy from a store you do. Technically I can't speak of BB and others, all I know is that at the Sprint Store, this is the going rate. I bought my wife's online and only had to pay the 149 (after rebate) then bought mine online and had to pay full price since I was less than a year into my plan, no activation fee for either. If you buy online today you'll more than likely get it at your house on Tuesday, they're pretty quick, but if you want it now then that won't work of course.

Bought mine and my wifes online to get free activation as well and the phones were shipped using overnight shipping free. I ordered them at 11:00pm when they showed up on Sprint's site on a Saturday night which means they shipped Monday and I got them by Tuesday.
Although I have gotten activation waved at a Radio Shack before just by asking.

as far as activation goes, just call Sprint and tell them you think the activation fee is ridiculous and you aren't happy about adding another almost $40 to your cost of the phone.
Mine was credited for my last 3 phones.

Amazon has it for $89.00 if you can get Best Buy to price match. YMMV.

Both of those are for new service lines only, I think it was implied that the OP was upgrading.
I know you said YMMV for the price match, but I've never found a Best buy that would price match online prices, but can't hurt to try.

Best Buy in Indianapolis price matched our Heros at the end of 2009. Can't hurt to try. I've heard Radio Shack might as well.

I actually got my shift from Best Buy for 124.99 + $36. I started off printing off an advertised price from wal-mart that had it for $99.99. Took it into Best Buy and asked if they would match, they called the local wal-mart and they were told they didn't carry them in store. So they would not price match them. I told her, if she would sell it to me for 124.99 I would buy it from them, otherwise I was going to radio shack (Which just happens to be next door to my Best Buy) and ask them to honor the price or give me a discount. She went and asked a manager and he approved it.
I use to have a friend who was a car salesman, he always told me, "If there is one in stock there too much supply and to ask for a discounted amount". He would get discounts everywhere, even his apartment rent he negotiated a lower price.
Remember it doesn't cost you a penny to ask for a discount. Don't be rude or mean or seem uptight, lay out the facts. If you do A I will do B, if I'm not asking for a crazy discount 9 times out of 10 I will get it. Now if I could only talk Sprint to lower my bill....

Yes, call and politely ask for the activation fee to be waived or credited. I've only been told NO once, and called back right away and suddenly it was 'YES!'.

Now that's not a very constructive or generous addition to our discussion. I was simply making everyone aware that Sprint does credit for the activation fee.
No crying involved, simply stating that I don't appreciate this charge and each time ask what the cost is supposed to cover, and not one person can give me a decent answer. They just say they will credit the activation fee.
Please only post if you have something that will add to the conversation. Thanks!

Over the phone today, I got it for $229 (before $100 rebate) plus tax. Everything else was waived.
I did have the complaint of a blown lcd to help me out as well, though.

Is Sprint still charging $249.99 and giving you a $100 rebate? Just curious. Got mine at best buy since I didnt' have to go through the rebate hassle.

You can get the activation waved if you call them and say they said they would wave it. I was told being an AOL member that they would wave it when I called customer service. I called and they said there was no such deal but did it for me anyway.

I told Sprint my place of employment, and got 20% off my monthly bill + free activation. Didn't even check my pay stub or identity.
You could check to see if your place of employment has a deal on something like that.

RadioShack.com
RadioShack.com has the Shift for $119.99 upgrade price.
That's the cheapest I've seen. Hope someone benefits!

How much did this phone cost you?

I pre-ordered the Atrix using AT&T's web store for $320.99 after tax. I assumed the packaging would include a $100 mail in rebate since I'd see the phone advertised for $199 everywhere else.
When I got the phone, there was no rebate material in the box.
I then called AT&T and asked for the $100 rebate. They said I needed to go to an AT&T store to get the rebate. This afternoon, I went to an AT&T store and they said there is no rebate unless you buy the dock. I called AT&T again to complain and they explained I would have to return my phone and buy a new one to get the $199 price. Unfortunately, my sister threw out my packaging so it seems I now spent $320 on a $200 phone. Major bummer.
Does this seem idiotic to anyone else?
So, were any of you guys screwed in a similar way?

I wasn't upgrade eligible but the AT&T website automatically gave me the early upgrade price of $299 and also an instant online discount of $100 so I paid 217 total with taxes. I was actually ready to buy off contract for $499 but it wouldn't give me the option. I recommend you call back and try another rep. I've heard of others that have received the discount after complaining.

i never buy from att anymore, i buy from best buys. they charge you for the phone at the same price as att but without needing a rebate, plus they tax you only on that amount not on the full retail like att does.

Costco. 119.00 plus tax. They even threw in a cheap wired headset and holster.

originally quoted down to $299 over the phone for a "special" early upgrade price because I am not eligible til 2/12.
I ended up having the opportunity to port a dummy business line and have my boss pay for the pay increase. They allowed me to use the line activation to get the atrix on my line and then buy a go phone for the new line. I brought in an amazon print out for $149 and they said they couldn't match but would give me 25 off. so all in all I made out great. LOVE the phone btw. makes my crappy completely forgettable.

FREE!!!!!!!
was due for an upgrade like a year ago, my iphone crapped out on me and I had no money. Went into brandsmart and got an HTC Aria for a penny with my contract renewal, the lady didnt feel like breaking my $20 bill so I got the aria for free this past November. When the atrix came out my next upgrade wasnt till 2012, but when I looked at it on att website it was giving it to me for $200, so I ordered it. I then sold my HTC Aria on ebay and recouped my $200 thus making the Atrix free. this phone is incredible!!!!! couldnt be happier!!!

Always check best buy first no matter who u use. Usually any mail in rebates any carrier gives u will be an instant rebate at best buy.

Wow this has been a pretty enlightening threat. I've learned to never pre-order and just buy from Costco instead.
My debacle was resolved last night. I found my packaging in the trash at home and brought it to a local AT&T corporate store. They said I had to return the phone and buy a new one in order to get my $100+ back. All told it was a pretty ridiculous process but at least I ended up buying it for $199 eventually. Also, now i have another Atrix I need to root and setup to my liking. Oh well.

$149 from local AT&T store. Wasn't upgrade eligible yet, but they agreed to allow early upgrade and price match local retailers, and Radio Shack was running them at $149. AT&T website had them at $199 at the time.

$106.49, tax included, on launch day (Feb 22) at an AT&T store.
Had a 100 dollar off upgrade on one of the lines of my family plan.

540 USD (include tax) at AT&T-Miami store (No contract).

Costco: $119+tax.
Went back a week later to get a new Atrix (old one was messed up) and saw that they had it for $99. I got $20 back on my CC. In the end:
$99+tax. (Costco price for upgrade or new line).

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!!!
