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.

Anybody want to buy an evo? Excellent condition clear esn..cimes with original box and accessories plus some really good earphones.
No thank you.

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.
Sent from my Epic 4G
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!

Any tricks to a early upgrade? Mine is in March, the 1st to be exact. My account is premier so technically the March date is already early at 1 year mark. Though is I was to get the $99 EVO they would prob drop support a month after I got it, kind of like the Hero Sorry for the rant

You could be a douche and threaten to cancel your contract and bash the hero and make up make believe problems some reps it might work some it might not. I use to work for t-mobile for 2 years if we got tired of hearing a person ***** we would just give them an upgrade early all the time lol.

And the way the radio shack deal works is if you trade them your hero its 99 and no trade its 199. Best buy its 199 hero trade gets you 40 bucks if no water damage. Sprint its 250 w/ 50 dollar mail in rebate. I was more than happy to hand them my hero

LOL, I wouldnt be lying if I complained about the Hero!

RadioShack is now $99 dollars with no trade in as long as you order it online. just a heads up.
Early upgrades? My sister was able to bash the hell out of her Blackberry 8830 or w/e over the phone with Sprint, and they sent her the newest Blackberry model for free and took $15 off our monthly bill for the remainder of our contract.
I tried calling Sprint last night to get my phone swapped with a LG Optimus S, only to be told I would have to use my insurance to get it. I told him all the problems I was having (random rebooting, phone taking too long to connect a call, dust under screen, unresponsive presses to wake it up, freezing), which are apparently a widespread problem with the Hero model. After being told to use my insurance, I told the guy that I bought the insurance in case I damaged the phone, not to get a phone that is not defective. Any tips to getting swapped to a different model? I've heard people getting swapped Evo's
I had a agent tell me a couple months back that with the insurance you can switch phones when making a claim. I dont know if she was just trying to sell me some insurance, or if that is true. Last time I had insurance was with my Instinct, it was a $50 deductible. Funny when I broke my Instinct the deductible had just went up to $100 a week earlier, I was never informed though Long story short sprint paid for it, I had a new Instinct 2 days later.
Yeah I went from one lame azz phone to another lame azz phone, just what I wanted! From a sry Instinct to a sry Hero

Yeah I'm calling Sprint back tonight, and possibly going to have my sister call them. I'm going to keep calling them until I get a different phone >.< What makes me mad though, is the first rep I talked to before getting switched to Multiple Phone Exchange (something like that) told me that she was able to get someone who had a Hero and the same problems as I had switched to a LG Optimus S, a few hours before I called. I had also asked her if I could switch to an Evo and pay the difference of $20, and she said "that's not the way it works"
I am looking for a cheap Hero to replace my wife's flip phone, so if any of you upgraders want to get rid of your's let me know.
With all these crazy new phones being announced with their super screens and dual core processors, it got me thinking.. Sprint premier customers can upgrade every year. Assuming we got it on day one (me me), do you think we could sell it in craigslist or ebay around late june or early july and make $200? My phone has a spot where anything on a white screen shows up kinda spot burned and the camera lens cover falls off. I'm gonna save these to get a replacement and then sell it. How well would it retain its value in another 6 months? If phones can stay above the 200 mark for a year, then can't we upgrade indefinitely for virtually free (activation fees size)

Lol 300+ would be intense but I'd be super happy with 200. I'm sure we could at LEAST get 150 cause that's about how much hero is going for a year and 3 months after launch. Can't wait for those new dual core phones, lets hope sprint grabs one!

Edit: Although I do love me some HTC. I'm personally hoping for a CDMA variant of the Playstation Phone or some other Android smartphone with a gamepad!
Wouldnt suprise me if you got $300 - $350. I sold a hero with accessories for $250.00 on ebay about 3 months ago.
Sorry to derail... I was laughing at the "A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo." sig, not the price. I agree with the price.
It's not unheard of to get more than you paid for it, because you're selling it with no contract obligations. The comparable "new" price is $450, not $200. That said, a lot of people won't recognize that unless you spell it out for them and think you're ripping them off. But there is unquestionably value in a phone that does not require a contract extension or use of upgrade eligibility.
After a year though, with newer, better phones out, it'll lose some value. But even if you don't "break even," you have to consider the value of having the phone for the year you used it, as well as the value of having the latest and greatest new one. Whatever it's worth on the market at the time you decide to upgrade, I look at it as a bonus.
As much as I'd love to do the same, I don't think I could ever get rid of my EVO

No way, nice! That thing is ancient I made a long post earlier but I guess it didn't go through, I was saying I'll sell my evo a few weeks before the next big sprint phone comes out, or when we know something is coming but it's only leaks and it's not announced to the public yet, that way the evo is still one if the more in demand phones retaining it's value. All about timing, even if it's not before july!

Haha wow. That's incredible. I tried to sell my Treo Pro but saw it was going on eBay for like $5.
This is my plan as well. Right now you can get like 300. I am expecting 150-200 by summer as others have mentioned. I'd be very happy with that.
Gotta love Sprint. If you're a phone lover and want fast upgrades, it can't be beat. Just wish they had more super phones to choose from instead of just 1 or 2.
On a side note, I can still sell my old HTC Touch for over $50 on eBay, but I kinda like it for nostalgia.

It's a well known secret but now that it was put on blast on the main EVO 4G board, better call them quick before they remove the offer.
I can personally confirm I called that number (It's posted on a topic in the 3D EVO board) and they reset my upgrades for the full amount on both my lines. I became a Sprint member a few weeks after the EVOs launch. Just ask nicely. Don't be a douche. I gave them the line "I was expecting an full upgrade for my primarly line" The rep said she can definitely help with that and even offered to reset my girlfriend's line as well.
So in summary:
Full upgrades reset by said number
Preorder EVO 3D at Target mobile ($50 deposit)
Trade EVO 4G at Target mobile for $150
Get EVO 3D for $50 (Which was already paid with the preorder)
See you suckers on launch day. You snooze you lose.
Read the WIKI at that link for more Q&A stuff...but you guys can easily sell your EVOs for $200 - $300 on craigslist!
the deal looks legit but i won't be able to take advantage of it. i used my upgrade in may for the nexus, then returned it and got an evo instead last weekend. how many times can you exchange phones at best buy? i wouldn't mind using my upgrade on the 3d or another upcoming device like the gs2. i know i have 30 days to turn the phone back in.
im also expecting a call from dan's office at sprint tomorrow so ill wheel and deal them as well.

I only see a cheap way to get a 3d is if your do for a full upgrade and trade your evo in then you would get a 3d cheap. Sucks tho if your still under contract.
