lol I have that same feeling, any idea on RAM and Internal storage?

Do you really think that the store will sell out so you have to spend money pre ordering it?

well the first best buy I went was sold out so I just went to another and said F**K it and money is not an issue.

You do realize that the group of numbers right below the Val number is the transaction number? Which means any best buy employee can go print a duplicate receipt and claim it as their own? Just an FYI.

By the way, I totally pre-ordered my EVO. Can't wait for it!

I canceled my Best Buy preorder after learning they were charging $600 for the contract-free version, so I'm waiting to order one at my local Sprint store when they start taking names.

Where did you learn that, if you don't mind me asking??
EDIT: OK, I found the thread on Android Forums where some guy claims he had supposed phone conversations with 3 different BB employees at 3 different BB stores and that they all said $600. I'm sorry, I just don't believe it! Even if it is true (which I doubt) I can easily cash in my $50 BB gift card and walk 100 yards to the Sprint store to buy it for $450.
Are you sure that guy doesn't work for Sprint or Radio Shack?

did not know that but thank you for the tip, much appreciated!!

How much should you pay for the pre-order?
199? or full price?

OK, I take it back. I was just made aware of the fact that Best Buy is charging $599 for unsubsidized Heros.
Sprint only only charges $429.
I also just noticed (in the fine print) that the $50 Best Buy gift card is NOT redeemable for cash.

Were you able to get your money back from Best Buy when you canceled it? Do you know if there is a time limit for canceling? Does anyone know when Sprint will do preorders for the Evo? I ask because I just made my preorder today at BB and realized afterward they will steal $150 from me (it's not stealing, it's Capitalism which I'm all for, it still sucks though) and want to avoid that if at all possible.

i preordered in bestbuy but on my receipt it said to pick it up on june 5th?anyone else?

I made the stupid mistake of creating $300 in gift cards to help budget for this. If I get stuck having to pay another 300 there will be problems. They're going to adjust my price or refund my money.

As I understand it, you can use the gift card towards the price of the phone. Just pre-ordered mine today too.

I went in and they instantly gave me cash (paid with debit). I'm sure that you'd be fine getting a refund all the way until June. Just tell them that you don't want a marked up phone, and they hadn't released the price when you paid.

on the yellow bestbuy mobile receipt at the bottom right box where it says "best number and time to contact you" the sales rep wrote down "when phone release june 5th".very weird.

The EVO will be $500 at RadioShack off contract.

At least it is better than Best Buy, but it looks like I will be waiting outside of my Sprint store for a few hours.

to preorder and i would guess very little more

at sprint we are only taking new accounts and upgrades no outright purchases from what i was told. and i heard radioshack is doing the same.

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.

would be quite dissapointing if you get there and thats not true. us employees in florida have a evo meeting on the 28th to tell us how its going down, so im sticking with that.

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.

Benefits of buying at Full price ?
Help me understand...
Why would you want to pay $499 for a phone that
Question-1: What are the benefits of buying an Evo full price?
Question-2: Wouldn't Sprint still force you to upgrade to the Everything Data plan AND also charge you the $10 per month per Evo on the account?
I would be willing to consider paying full price if I can justify a Return-On-Investment starting after "X" months

Those of us buying the phone for full retail already have Sprint contracts but are not eligible for upgrades at the time of the EVO's release.

Radioshack Evo Updates

Much easier to throw this all in one spot than to try to compile all the various threads. New info as of 5/27/10!
-Preorders are no longer being taken at Radioshack due to inventory constraints. IE: demand was starting to exceed quantity
-The occasional store (non-mall stores) is opening at 6am; check your local area to find out which are opening early and at what times.
-Activation will most likely not be a simple in-out process. Expect to be in the store roughly 30 minutes.
-Don't forget the phone requires a Data plan and a $10 Premium Data service in order to be activated! Sprint's Hotspot add-on is discounted to $29.99 as well.
-Most stores should have the device in-store in advance of the release date, so our worries about stock are allieved. Even if a store is out of stock, we will most likely not be able to call another store and have a phone placed on hold due to demand, BUT it may be able to be Direct2U'd, which is a method of ordering.
-Accessories at launch will be limited to chargers (generic and iGo), screen protectors, and some locations will have Zagg's Screen Protector (not full body). Evo-specific accessories will be available throughout the month of June.
-Pre-order customers will be offered 15% off accessories from 6am to whenever the store would normally open (usually 9am), and everyone else will be offered 10% from 9am through normal business hours. This stacks with the $20 credit (though neither are available on the phone itself, even though the credit can be used on anything else in the store) and is only available through close-of-business June 4th.
-Radioshack Service Plans on the HTC Evo will be lowered from $124.99 to 99.99 through June 6th, and covers everything it always has, namely:
+Wear and Tear
+Light Corrosion
+Speaker Damage
+Screen Outages
+Dead Pixels
+Battery Replacement once per year (excellent value)
+In-Store Replacement of up to four same-ticket accessories
Just keep in mind this is a warranty, not insurance. As such, it does not cover lost, stolen, broken, or water damage claims.
Luckily, none of this is classified information, so I can share it freely with all of you Ask any question you feel necessary, and I'll keep this updated if anything changes~

I also wouldn't be surprised if Sprint has server issues as well (on launch day/morning), just to really slow things down. It will make it more,.... lets just say memorable.

No sir, I believe they took your 50 dollars as a deposit on the phone and in return gave you a 50 dollar gift card. They also gave you a 20 dollar bonus towards any accessory of your choosing, but the gift card was actually the money you put towards the deposit.

The $50 gift card is for the preorder itself. Instead of keeping your money like GameSTOP, for example, we give you a gift card so that we still have a guarantee you'll come back. Same principle, different execution. The $50 you can use toward the phone, while the $20 can only be used on accessories.

Well, yeah. Same concept, like other people have explained while I was occupied here at work Only instead of keeping your money, we give it to you on a gift card. You have to spend it with Radioshack, regardless, so it works out the same

I think pre-ordering is coming to a close rapidly. I would say if you haven't pre-order as of yesterday or this morning @ RS your only shot is the Sprint store if you want it on the 4th.

If anyone else is accepting preorders, the latest it'll be is the 31st, just so they have numbers in order before they start shipping to stores. Though as I said, Radioshack CAN order the Evo if they happen to be out of stock in the store. Ask and find out~

The insurance does have its place, that doesn't mean it's a bad idea. If you have a history of having phones go bad, it's a cheaper alternative. If you're worried about it being stolen or lost, or dropping it in water.... honestly you should probably get a different phone XD But really, insurance is good for those things, provided you don't mind paying $168 over the course of your plan, plus the $100 deductible.
The downside to the RS plan is that it's a send-off to repair (except for the accessory and battery replacement), so if you don't have a back-up phone, it might not be the best for you since we don't use loaners. So there you go, a direct comparison. Both are good, in different circumstances. I've seen the warranty do wonders for lots of customers, and I've seen it be worthless.

I just called the RS I pre-ordered at and was told:
1. They have stopped taking pre-orders since the close of business day yesterday (May 27th). He also said that most stores were limited to 20 pre-orders.
2. They are opening at 6:00AM sharp (this is a full store, not a kiosk) and stock may be limited to 2-4 phones more than pre-ordered!
3. He was not sure about the $10 or $15 discount for accessories (DUBious, who is a Houston, TX Radio Shack employee, has reported an additional 10% off accessories for people arriving between 6-9AM).
I noticed that the tone of the employee I talked to was much more serious today than my previous calls (yes, I bug them a lot! ). Maybe the scope of how big this is going to be is starting to dawn on some of them now that news is coming down from corporate?

Why did I spend so much money on this phone again? I remember with my iPhones they retained their value, this is a HUGE degradation in a matter of months? I guess I won't be able to sell this phone when I'm ready to upgrade.

You do realise there's a HUGE difference between an iPhone and... well... any other phone, right? People flock to iPhones like gnats to a sweaty forehead. And not even just the US. Hell, i sold my iPhone 4 that i had since they came out to someone in Russia for $450. That was enough to cover the cost of the iPhone when i originally bought it, PLUS the Atrix. I've only ever seen one person NOT in an AT&T store that had an Atrix. Just about every smartphone you see on the street is some version of the iPhone. And with the 3GS now being $49.... I'd imagine that ratio will be even higher. People don't know how to find a good phone. They know what is crammed down their throat no matter where they turn... and that just happens to be any Apple product, really.
Hell... look on TV. You see at least 5 iPhone commercials for every single Atrix commercial... and they advertise the lapdock more than the phone itself it seems.

Dunno, they still seem to go for a fairly nice sum of money. I'd imagine it would still be rather nice a bit from now, especially being a dual core.

yeah store was closed here. I tried calling att to see if they would price match the 100 bucks at bestbuy and they told me nope and if i wanted bestbuy's price i should cancel and goto bestbuy. does att charge a restocking fee for canceling a plan within the 30 days?

TMobile no longer bills monthly for phone upgrades?

So I called T-Mobile and got approved for an early upgrade since i've been a customer since 2004.
The only thing is I found out they no longer bill in a 3 month cycle but make you pay upfront for the phone.
I'm looking at the Galaxy S2 and I don't have $300 upfront to pay for the damn thing.

You might as well just say screw T-Mobile and buy one off eBay for $150-$200 more lol.

Thats what i've said..
Only good thing about getting it through T-Mobile is the warranty.
They should retain that billing feature for good customers...I've been with them since 2004.... am I really going to bail on them over a phone? Stupid...
Literally paying 300 is almost 3/4 of my paycheck... I mean yea right... I'm not right. I'll just use my Galaxy S... Thing works fine anyways.

Or you can get one off craigslist for 300 with no contract like I did.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium

I agree. The payment thing was great for them. It made people MORE likely to jump into a new phone and extend their contract. Pretty stupid business decision on their part.
But they've been going downhill for a while.
I'm thinking that its about time for this business model to die anyway. I hate being tied to a carrier, and I want a phone that actually gets upgrades.

The only thing that made the 2 yr. upgrade worth it was the fact that the phone was automatically cut in half. $600 retail, down to $250. They simply early upgraded me for being a customer since 2004... so cool..
But what I don't have is $300 to spare on a phone... or if I decide I don't want to be tied to a carrier (which doesn't matter because I can't use a T-Mobile phone or Verizon or on ATT 3g band)
I thought it was very convenient to go into the store, have to pay around $80 upfront, then have the remaining balance split up over a 3 month period... so people who don't have excess money to spend that often can go ahead and get an upgrade every so often..
In either case, this has just made me double think, and I will keep my Vibrant probably for another year or two now. Nothing wrong with it, could use better battery life though.

I am going to wait for if and when GS2 will show up for free with an eligible upgrade on Amazon or Wirefly. Get the 1800 mah epic touch battery for the time being if you are concerned about battery life.

So save $100 each month and after 3 months you can pay up front for it? I don't see what the big deal is.

Craigslist has SGSIIs for $300?
You must live in a nice place.

In my area I see them for about $350-500. So yes, they are going for around $300 on craigs.
Any any case, what does the price of this phone have to do with the topix of tmobile no longer billing monthly for phone upgrades?

OP was complaining about them not splitting the price of the phone up and I mentioned that for 300 he could get an sgs2 off contract. Dude you quoted was just surprised you could find them that cheap I guess.

I have a business account and whenever I purchase a phone they just add it to my bill. I don't have to pay upfront.

I made the same decision except I might go for the sgs3. I bought the 1800 mah Anker battery on Amazon (sorry, my links are still disabled) and I'm really happy with it. I get about 20 hours moderate use running ics passion v12 at 1000 MHz on conservative.

20hours? Hmm I get like 2 days if I really stretch it. I also don't use my phone excessively or for games often.

Trying to get your post count up?

Would be nice if they brought back the 3 month billing split for New equipment. It made it nice and easy to split it across three billing cycles...

Yes!
LOL!!
Back to the OP, I'm annoyed that TMo didn't offer the SGS2 to me for $100. They were running a special on "new customers" only, but wanted to charge me $349 to "upgrade" my line. I've been with them for over 6 years and 5 lines on the account.
Goes to show how they take care of their existing customers. Glad I didn't upgrade my contract as I'm thinking of going to Verizon and getting the Galaxy Nexus as soon as one of my other line's contract is up.
