The other day my friends OG Evo broke (charging port), And she took it sprint, They did a 90$ buy back plan for her Evo and she paid 5$ more and was able to purchase a Epic Touch 4g at upgrade price 199$ her upgrade isnt due till june, I thought she just got lucky but 2 days ago i took my phone in to get fixed because i had a blown speaker and they offered me the same deal, my upgrade isnt due till October 1st, i declined it, i love my OG Evo until something worth upgrading comes out. So im guesing if you had your evo near launch day you can probably get the same deal unless its just my local sprint store doing that offer. Let me know if anyone else gets this offer.
Not really anything special there, sprint will pretty much offer this to any customer as long as they sign a contract.
Still good to know about. I didn't know. Thanks. But I'm waiting for the evi 4g lte, personally.

How is this nothing special? Getting an early upgrade? I mean, if this is common, I'm gonna be all over this, haha.
When the Evo 4G LTE comes out, or the Samsung GSIII is released, I'm going to be drooling over them! I'm not eligible for an upgrade until April of 2013. If they offer me the upgrade price on those two devices prior to my upgrade, I will be dancing in the streets!
Thanks to the OP for this hope!
Sprint has the buy up program for all customers who are within a year or so of their upgrade. I did this for my wife on her line last month. Our eligibility date isn't until November. I purchased the early upgrade for a little over eighty dollars and then got her the new phone for the new contract price.

+1 i really want the Evo LTE or SGIII but I'm not eligible until Feb 2013. Hopefully they can do the same for me. I was going to switch carriers, but i thought about it the prices are too good. Plus since im working alot i don't use much data. The past two months total doesn't even reach 1.5GB

Wow, this is terrific news! So do you think that when the new wave of phones begins trickling out this summer, I'll be able to do the same then (my upgrade is 04/2013)? Also, what do you mean by "purchasing" the early upgrade? There's an official program to buy an early upgrade? Or is it an unofficial thing going on all over?
I did this back in December and upgraded to the 3D. And op is right this is exclusively for the og Evo. Basically they are offering this to Evo users because of the og Evo's faulty USB port and battery life. Thats what the service rep who did the upgrade for me explained to me. So if you have an og Evo they will offer you an upgrade (even if your not eligible for ur upgrade yet) b4 taking a look at it..

Sprint has an early upgrade promo running till the 14th of April.

I came to the evo 4g from the iphone 4, there was just something I was missing with android. I must say with all the ROMs out there there's enough to keep the OG goin. I'm going to wait and see whats coming out in the future, who knows i could get another killer deal off of craigslist.

Prices are definitely what keep me with Sprint. Still hoping for something nice when 2013 rolls about and my upgrade is due!

Well, considering Jelly Bean is due to be released Q4 of this year, our early 2013 upgrade may come at a nice time!

Wirefly has the EVo 4G LTE, which is the Sprint version of the One XL, on sale today as a preorder special for only $150. Requires new two year activation and qualifying plan with data.

I've read this on several sites including HTC's. All that have pre-ordered and planned on having a spanking new EVO on the 18th will be waiting a little longer it looks like.

There is already one shipment on US soil and in sprints warehouses for shipping. That would affect anyone who's order which is backordered due to there not being enough supply. Especially the one x in particular as its already available at at&t and has been for a while now around a month atleast I'm not sure I haven't kept up with it too much, I'm boycotting HTC til they stop forking around with their halfass htcdev unlock crap they have pulled and then blamed on "security" and/or the carriers. so far my only plans for upgrades for 2 of my 3 lines are the LG eclipse 4g LTE and the next nexus that will be announced this fall, line 3 is up in the air between the Evo 4g LTE and SGS3 depending on HTCs exploitability and the real world performance of both devices.

Even though there are handsets here right now the injunction could stop the sale and distribution of these phones including the the pre-orders. It's happened before it can happen again.
Apple is always filing frivolous lawsuits trying to jam android up, the international trade commission has no authority over devices already on US soil so they can only hold up what's still in customs or in transit to the US. Devices that are already paid for and already on sprints warehouses waiting shipping to customers shouldn't be affected since there is no judicial order preventing them from shipping and unless there's an 11th hour order pushed through there's no time to get one in place because preordered devices will be shipping starting Thursday, so basically anything already past customs is clear for now. Apple if you hold your tongue and say their name gives you the real pronunciation

I blame Apple
Steve Jobs owns an Android. But hates us for not having iPhones to =p
and stupid apple.. They CLAIM that they have patent to our stock texting app and stock browser. F**K NO! They don't look even slightly similar! and US Customs decide to hold the shipment??? W T F.

The launch of the phone and preorders have been delayed with no ETA.
So rumors are showing that the Galaxy Note II should be releasing on the American carriers in just over a month. I suspect prices will probably be $250 like the Note was with a new contract, but does anyone think that prices will be lower come Black Friday? I haven't shopped for cell phones on Black Friday before, so I don't know if phone prices have fallen before in the past on that day.

I checked last year and year prior In my area and nothing "new" or high profile was marked down. Just a few mid range phones
Online sales typically seem to be best source

Not worthed it for me at least. Too long to wait for maybe a $25-50 price tag cut.

I bought my Droid X on Black Friday 2 years ago. I got $100 off at Target on an unadvertized special. Price with contract extension: $99. Costo had advertized $100 off but since I went to Target first I didn't need to fight crowds at Costco! The Verizon store did NOT have a reduced price for the Droid X (relatively new at the time) for Black Friday. BTW 3 months later Costo was sellng the Droid X for $50. I hope to get a deal on the Note II on Black Friday--but not at the Verizon store!
Honestly, like its been mentioned...I'm not so sure that the deals will be that much better than the original pricing...I only say this because the device is rumored to be released so close to black Friday, that I'm not sure we will see too many places offering the device with a decent price cut. You may save a few bucks, but is it worth the wait? I'm not so sure lol
I'm probably going to buy it off-contract whenever it is released in the states. Odds are there will not be any sales for retail price on it during Black Friday sales. So I don't think it's worth it to wait if you're buying it off contract.

I'm with you on this. Unless hell freezes over and tmobile offers it for next to nothing on contract I will just pay retail.
I just need to come up with the money to do that. Lol

Just thought I'd post that my local Best Buy in Columbus Ohio let me pre order the Edge on Verizon. Unfortunately they only offered the black and white (all carriers) and I was interested in the green. I was however, the first pre order for Verizon at my store. Free wireless charging pad too! Can't wait until April 10th.
Still debating on staying with Verizon Edge or going to a 2 year contract. I'm leaning towards the Verizon Edge and buying Best Buys insurance for 160(never purchased insurance before). I like the idea of not having to drop 400 on the phone April 10th and getting 3 replacements over a 2 year period. Only thing that scares me with edge is breaking it and then can't edge up next year but with 3 replacements that wouldn't be an issue.
