Just got the email. Check your inbox. June 24th $199.
I'm going to hold off on the E3D for a better spec'd phone. I can see myself getting dizzy trying to watch a 3D movie (even though I know you can turn it off).
Hopefully they come out with another Android in time for the holidays. It's good to see that it's coming out soon though.
Content with my evo 4g for now I'll wait till next year to upgrade
Can't wait!!!!

200 with or without contract?
$199 with 2 year contract. Sprint Premier members get to order 3 days early on the 21st. I'm going to hold off pending the Motorola Photon 4G and Samsung Within announcements.
I should probably know this and I'm sorry for not having knowledge of this, but this is my first upgrade with Sprint. I called and got both lines bumped up for the $150 discount. So when they come out the 24th, for $199, all I will have to pay is $50 each for them right? Both lines on my contract (mine and wifeys). And I've already put $50 towards them with the pre order from best buy.

$150 off of the retail price or off contract price of the phone.......given you've pre ordered add $50 to that to make out $200 off.....so if the retail price for the Evo 3D is $500 all you'll have to pay is $300.....

Sweet, so if I'm signing a new contract for both, which I am, I shouldn't have to pay any more than the $50 I've paid for pre order. (With the exception of tax ofcourse)
Edit: and the lady I spoke with said to call her back directly and she would take $100 off my invoice once I do upgrade. Man I'm so happy I left Verizon.

No, you get that $150 off the retail price ($500) when you sign a two year contract. So you'll be paying $300 dollars for each phone. Yes, Sprint has the worst upgrading policy ever.

http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/06/radio-shack-explains-how-to-turn-3d-onoff-on-htc-evo-3d.html
As stated on the Shack's site, 2D and 3D content are automatically displayed. When a 3D-supporting video, app, or game is opened, the screen will automatically display it in 3D. When 3D content is not detected, it will "fall back" to 2D. I know some people were thinking that they'd be able to control when they wanted to see their content in 3D, but this isn't how it works.
The EVO 3D will always display 3D content in 3D and 2D content in 2D. So if your eyes are going crazy from some insane 3D action, it seems you're either going to have to deal with it or just not view the content anymore.

Probably get it around August if I do decide to go with the 3D.
Only tech device I've ever bought on release date was the Palm Pre...and after a nice replacement as it was dead out of box, never again.

You forgot the instant saving plus rebates!
The $150 includes new customer price.

Excellent. I just emailed Sprint about my upgrade being taken away and they emailed me back in about an hour telling me that I am once again eligible for a full upgrade.
I'll definitely be getting this phone!
Some bad info being spread here. If you have the $150 upgrade, you are eligible to New Customer pricing at Sprint. Meaning if the phone is $500 and with rebates etc a new Customer gets it for $200, so do you!
Now notice I said "Sprint" New Customer pricing. Because I know Amazon, etc will sell a new line of service "aka" New Customer for cheaper than an upgrade. But whatever the advertised Sprint price is, that's what you pay.
So you are gonna pay $200 for each phone, minus your $50 deposit and ad in whatever taxes and activation fees they charge you. that's what it boils down to. Sometimes you can call in or get on chat and have activation fees removed. But they are getting stricter on not doing this.

If I got to pay any more than $200 per phone to get it I'm going to hold off. I'm fine with the O.G. Evo. This is the first phone I've ever had that I actually feel I can keep for the whole 2 year contract. Guess I'll be using those BB gift cards for my boy some PS3 games

Just got back from my local Sprint store and was assured that I could purchase for full retail. $475 after tax. I just have to get there when they open at 7 on the 4th.

I can't see sprint telling people I don't want upfront $450+ from anyone because I would rather sell it for $199.
i can see them saying hey i rather not sell it to you because your stuck on contract with us anyways, and say hey i want you guys to upgrade and stay with us and hey i want new customers.

Well 3 employees, including the manager, all confirmed it, so I'm pretty confident. I would make a scene if they refused to sell it to me after telling me to my face that they would, and since I've been with them for 8 years, so I think I would get my phone instantly.
At Radioshack you definitely can buy it outright. It is $499.99, but there is a trade in program, so you can bring in your old phone and put that trade in toward the purchase, making it cheaper than a Sprint corporate store.

I'm selling my Hero on eBay, where I will get about $200 for it. RadioShack will give you about $85. Tough choice.
i got my evo preorder from a radioshack manager who gave me his word he will refund my deposit if the radio shack full retail price is more than the sprint price. he even wrote it down and signed it, and said he would be there on june 4.
i will bring a copy of the sprint evo flier in on june 4, hopefully i can just get him to price match.

Why would you want to pay $499 for a phone that
Question-1: What are the benefits of buying an Evo full price?

I would be willing to consider paying full price if I can justify a Return-On-Investment starting after "X" months

Thank you for the clarification!
post your experiences here and let us all know how it goes...were you able to get $399? $499? did the employees know what they were doing or was it a huge hassle? if you had to argue/explain/haggle your way to a certain price fill us in on how, why, etc... and let us know of any other issues someone going later in the week should be wary of if any....
Called a shop in Atlanta yesterday and the guy said "499, eehm, no wait, 399." A friend of mine is picking one up for me to bring to Germany, told him he can go up to 499 if it's deadly necessary..
I talked to one of my local stores and was told $499....
just bumping this up for tomorrow...or today if anyone's lucky....
The stores here said.they were getting.them tomorrow; ill call one now and see what the pricing is; if I can get it for 400 off contract ill do that.

All I know is if I ordered through the premier site (business line) I qualified for an immediate 100 discount, which means I would get the same discount in stores. Could be the fact that I have a business line, but I'm not sure.
Granted, it looks like I'll be buying mine at a 3rd party reseller today since he's supposed to get it in stock and always does a sale before the release date if he can.
Also as far as I know it's $299 before a $100 MIR and AT&T lets you get the rebate on an off contract device if you have the qualifiers for data also. Which I will since I have my data plan and messaging plan.
naturefreak,
Have you found any stores local to you that are willing to sell you the phone today? I'm headed to Town Center in a couple hours..
My local store is selling it for $499 off contract OR $199 plus a $200 dollar upgrade fee. So buying off contract would cost me about 533 with tax, the other option would be about 412 but lock me into another 2 years. decisions decisions.
Pay $499 and submit the rebate for $100 back... that's what I'd try at least. As long as you have a qualifying voice/data plan I don't see why the rebate company would deny your $100 rebate...

Nothing in Boca, Phone Super Store in Boynton is supposed to get it today. I've got myself on their list. They should call me the moment it arrives, I'm happy I work around the corner from there.
I'm not too worried either way. I plan on showing the lady in the store tomorrow that I can order it on Premier and get an instant $100 discount and see what she says. If she gives me a hard time I'll just pay the $100 and submit the rebate form. I'm pretty sure the rebate company will give me the $100, but if by chance they don't.. no big loss. By the way, who did you ask about the $100 rebate if paying $499.. some person in the store or at telesales?

Hey, that worked 2 years ago when I bought my Bold 9000 at full retail. I swear I buy phones way too often. Since I bought that phone I have had the 9700, the Backflip, the SE C905A, the Motorola Backflip, and now the Nexus one. Next up is clearly the beast of a machine Atrix.

Agreed, but with the game of price-swap going on and the fact the price isnt showing up on Verizon or Motorola’s website, leads me to think that this game might not be over. Less than 24 hours out, you’d think we’d see “for realsies” prices on web sites by now.
Yesterday was a “good news” day for the Xoom, lets hope that today isnt more akin to the days that preceeded it. This launch could have gone so much smoother...

The real important question is how much is the ETF??!! If it's the standard $200 then a contract is worth considering. If it's Verizon's new more expensive ETF, then no contract is a no brainer.

I'm in the same boat. The thing I'm taking as higher importance is the warranty extension my Visa card gives me if I pay with it. I won't get the same thing if I pay with a debit card or cash.

I dont get what is so bad about renewing contract?
Lets say I renewed my contract. I pay $200 for the phone, and want to cancel my contract two months down the road, I pay an additional $150 cancelation, so the total I have into the phone is $350 vs the $460 full price.
If you are going to be on Sprint anyway, why not renew the contract?

I was wondering the same thing, as it seems cheaper to go the route above...
The way I look at it renewing the contract is no big deal, Sprint has the best prices when you look at the unlimited data.
If down the road they do jack the prices then you can terminate your contract with no early termination fee anyways since it's considered a change in contract terms and conditions.
What are you going to do, go to Verizon and be capped or AT&T and really get hamstrung?
My wife alone blows through at least 3gb a month in data streaming Pandora at work since their computers are locked down.
Well the whole idea is about what phone u have. Regardless of our plans.
As for early termination, are u allowed to keep the phone if u terminate it early? (Signed new 2yr when buying a phone?)

Contract
If you search u can find deals if you are patient. I got the epic on a deal for 58 bucks (including shipping) with a 2 year contract. At that I could sell the phone and make a profit with the penalty for the contract.

just saw this on SD and preorderd the phone.. 469 is not that bad off contract..
I actually just bought two Epics newly referb'd for $200 a pop because I didn't want to renew my contract.
I did this for two reasons:
1.) Didn't want to give up my upgrade because of the SG2 or another phone that hasn't been released or announced yet.
2.) Concerned about Sprint's future between the big changes in the coverage map that occurred after March and the 20 billion dollar possible investment with Lightsquared that has "supposed" GPS interference issues--I'm not signing a 2 year until I get that warm fuzzy feeling again.
Besides, I feel that the beginning of the summer isn't when you renew the contract/phone, the fall is after knowing what's left for the end of the year, not much gets released in Q1 so IMO early Q4 is the sweet spot, so you can compare what's out there to what's left to be released.
The Evo and Epic had plenty of bugs in the beginning that I don't mind waiting a month after or so release to see what gets fixed and how long it takes.
I'm not switching from Sprint anytime soon, so I imagine that my renewal of contracts wont go in vain.

But if you think about it, the Evo and Epic came out within two months or so of each other, and they were the two biggest phones that sprint had all year. I will almost bet that they dont have any drastic changes after the sgs2 until next summer, and I will have another upgrade then. Heck, even if they do have another change, I will sell me epic, and my sgs2 if need be, and upgrade.
So the real issue is those of us that have the Epic that haven't passed our 1 year mark yet. Will Sprint let us renew a 2year to get the cheaper price? no way am i gonna fork out almost $500 for a phone just to have the newest.

I'm actually quite with my Epic. Its probably going to take a 4.3" S-amoled screen with a keyboard to get me to replace it.

If you search u can find deals if you are patient. I got the epic on a deal for 58 bucks (including shipping) with a 2 year contract. At that I could sell the phone and make a profit with the penalty for the contract.

You can sell your used epic for more than the $300 ETF plus $58 (plus sellers fees if you go to ebay)? Maybe you can net $5 if you're lucky. You'll more likely lose $50-100.

ETF isn't $300 I think it's 200 or 150.

Your're right, appears I was thinking AT&T/Verizon ETF. Sprint is a lot more reasonable.
Still though, used epics are only selling for avg $200...

I dont get what is so bad about renewing contract?
Lets say I renewed my contract. I pay $200 for the phone, and want to cancel my contract two months down the road, I pay an additional $150 cancelation, so the total I have into the phone is $350 vs the $460 full price.
If you are going to be on Sprint anyway, why not renew the contract?

You actually make a valid point... I have it preordered for 469 but reconsidering.
I am one year into contract. Wirefly/sprint is saying im not eligible for upgrade though
Sprint has determined that you are not eligible for an upgrade at this time

But that's not including the monthly payments for service
I would just buy it straight up 460$ and use the hotspot from the epic to run the evo3d

According to the press release, it's all models, including the AT&T version.

I've been waiting for the price to drop and this is great news. Before I get it tomorrow can Sprint users tell me if the July update fixed the reception issues, made things worse, or stayed the same?
Online too?

I ordered mine through Amazon for 1 cent with free 2 day shipping with a new contract. No taxes on the value of the phone and its 1 cent out the door. It may be free at Best Buy but be prepared to pay sales tax on 699.99 (their regular price wtf?). Thats $57.74 where I live (OC at 8.25% sales tax). Best Buy is not good for new contracts but good if you are renewing your contract because Amazon charges 99.99 for renewals. It is still free for renewing your contract at Best Buy.

Sales tax? What's that? I don't pay no sales tax.
I got mine 2 days ago for free at best buy. Sprint model. I live a hour and a half away from the closest best buy, so I called to see how much it was. The lady that answered said free. Well I drive up there and its $99 with upgrade. So I told the manager what happened and he gave it to me for free.

Reviews are mixed. I have personally seen a db increase and additional bars on all connectivity modes.

I'm debating an upgrade from a nexus one for this. Otherwise waiting for next nexus or iPhone. My nexus one is in pretty rough shape.
Can I get this on Verizon?
I'm going to take my receipt to save the $99

I have an iPhone under my mom's account. In theory could I get one under my name and cancel the contract? I know it sounds silly, but I would like both. Would I have to give AT&T the phone back if I cancel?

No you can get one under your name. You keep the iPhone you have. I got the Nexsus S on Saturday and will be going tomorrow to get my $99 back. It is actually cheaper to get on contract and cancel later as you will only have paid around $340 vs $529 buy out right without contract at Best Buy.

I just ordered mine online with BestBuy for the AT&T version .. pricing is ALL $ 0.00 .. no taxes added .. only other fee is an $ 18.00 activation fee which is billed to you by your provider.
So .. the actual purchase of the phone is physically FREE.
Got mine free today
sent from my new HTC Evo
whats the early term fee for the providers?
im a lil past the one year point with my evo,
the best buy upgrade indicator online tells me im ready for an upgrade if i renew my 2 year, however when i go to purchase it online it tells me im not available for upgrade.
ill go in at ten and find out what my options are, and report back for fellow xda'ers
Will it be free by adding a line?

I'm going to wait for the SGSII since it's a better spec phone. The Nexus S has no SD card slot and that's a no no for me. The plus side is the updates on that phone but that's about it.

If I buy the Sprint version and cancel the contract, could I activate this on Verizon?
