Is that just for the device or do you have to have a contract?
probably a contract, new signed 2 year, which is what sprint is offering on them i think? cause im trying to talk my mom into getting one... ive almost got her switched from AT&T...
if thats the device, no contract... im going to rob a kid on the street, outside of a bank, for that hundo, and have me an EVO lol...
not getting my hopes up lol

Im quite sure its with contract. You can't get a hero for $100 off contract, let alone an Evo.

We'll be seeing new phones next year. Other than HTC Shift. Hopefully will have Gingerbread installed and dual-core. Slightly smaller screen, like HTC Incredible. That's my hopes.... plus my anniversary not till Feb anyway, so I need to wait....

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! This one I have now is my 4th phone I rooted this one from the gate, as soon as I activated I sat down at the PC and put Fresh 2.4 on it A week later I was on CM6, funny the other day I was doing some PRL and radio stuff and used Fresh 2.4 to do it. I ended up flashing Deca's latest kernel out of curiosity, it gave this rom a new life Might stay with it until GB is ready

I might have to give that a try. It always seemed to have more lag than others at the end. Maybe a new kernal is all it needs to be great again.

I have it overclocked to 748, it runs pretty smooth. I dont use a task killer but have autokiller set to aggressive. I also removed stuff like twitter and facebook, they dont get things pushed like email, b ut rather check for updates all the time, eating my battery! lol On day 3 with Fresh 2.4 and no complaints, so far
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.
Walmart is offering the Atrix 4G for $129.99 on contract. Might want to hurry in to your local Walmart.
I will wait for Amazon to lower price Good for us CA folks

I don't specifically know how rjohnstone got it for $149.99, but AT&T gave me an additional $50 off because it had been more than 2 years since I upgraded.
So I preordered mine for $149.99, and received it yesterday.
got mine for free period.

Been a Premier customer for the better part of 10 years. I spend a lot of money with them, so I typically get an extra $50 off any device I purchase.
One of the many reasons I will not leave AT&T.
Got mine for $113 out the door after RZ cerifiates that I got for free fro
Best buy because they goofed up in my account in Xmas. AT&T will price match the $129.99 from Walmart but I did not want to do it because their restocking fee is $35 ...

You paid too much...got mine for freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....!
If I'm not eligible for an upgrade - any way I can score one of these deals? Or - even better - without extending my contract?
Amazon Wireless is now down to $129.99 but they are backordered. I have a feeling they lowered the price in order to still maintain the pace of orders until stock comes back in. Kind of sucks because I wanted to try it in Tucson next week but oh well, I'll have it when I get back.
Paid $43 for mine
Was the only guy at Radio Shack this morning (Only Dork sez the wife). When they opened another guy walked in right behind me. Turns out they only had 1 and I got it for 149, and then they offered me $106 for my iPhone 3G, which I took, so in the end $43 bucks for a phone that beats the pants off my old 3G for performance...
I admit I don't know if $106 for a so-so condition 3G is good or not, but if I consider I don't have to try and sell it, etc... and it would have sat in my drawer where it would be forgotten. All in all a good deal to me,
just got mine for $99, confusing the sales rep
He ran the phone number, premier came up and it said the price was $100 for the phone or $400 for the dock and phone and I took the phone for $100 because I hadn't yet seen the tethering/hotspot fix info that came out earlier today.
The store said that the dock required the tethering deal which requiring giving up the unlimited data. My understanding is that is half correct: you don't need the tethering plan to have the dock but you need hotspot on the phone to make it work. I further understand that it is true that the tethering plan is not avaialble at any price with unlimited;
Has anyone found it yet at Costco who generally sweetens the deals very well with chargers and cases, and often discounts.

I can only chock it up as a premier flaw. Got two for $168 shipped, no contract extension. I still have yet to be charged for them, and somehow they removed my car dock on the order, so I think they really messed my order up. Anyhow, I'm way happy with this phone. This is how android is meant to be.

Do anyone know how long this offer is for? My wife got an optimus last week and its been having problems. So I'm thinking about getting her one of these Epics.
I'm just hoping sprint don't charge me a restocking fee. After all the optimus isn't working correctly. People on the other end of the phone can't hear her.

I worked for radioshack for 3 years. I deeply loathe that place. Please people don't buy your phones at radioshack. Its all they care about and those prices are so low because district managers pressure associates into not selling phones unless you get accessories with it. Don't believe me? Go ahead and try it. I guarantee you the salesman will turn you away not sell you the handset if you don't get something alongside with it.
Bottom line. Get your phones online. I bought both of my epics back in november for 100? If im not mistaken off of letstalk.com. amazon normally has awesome deals too. Save yourself the hassle of being hassled and don't put money into these corporate pigs pockets.

I still have (and still using) my TouchPro2. (due for a upgrade for a long time)
This looks like a good deal! but what are the chances of a new EPIC2 or a better QWERTY smartphone coming out very soon?!
Yes. The guy at my local radio shack was pushing me towards an Evo. Boo! he said there was no other phone in its class. I said what about the epic? And he just kinda scoffed and said it was a decent phone.

It bad. You get harassed and your job threatened everyday. Your NEVER good enough in that place. For those interested or want to work there this is what you will experience.
Radioshack gets angry if you don't sell they're quota of phones a day. If you sell your phone by itself they get angry. I you sell a phone with accessories (and they have a minimum like 20-40 bucks), cool. Now did you get the warranty? No? Your not good enough. Here's a write up. I remember when the i4 came out and they said it was mandatory to sell the 70$ applecare with it. Lol. Oh and don't forget about the plethora of other **** you gotta do there besides earn commission selling cell phones. Which is essentially the only real way to make money there.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
jeez, I've never had an issue buying a phone at radio shack. I've never bought accessories there and they just seemed happy I was getting a phone.
Lovely.. i'm within 30 days.. now I get to see if i can get best buy to price match/guarantee, or return it (stupid restocking fee) and get it for $100 cheaper.. if it was $20-40 difference I wouldn't bother, but $100.. that's worth some time to get my money back.
Hey guys, with the upcoming 3D coming out, I thought some of you may find this interesting. Amazon has an electronics trade in program where they will pay up to $187 for a white evo and $114.50 for a black evo. They won't pay actual cash, but will give you amazon credit (which if they sell the evo 3D, then who cares). I know you can probably sell it for more thru ebay, craigslist, etc, but for those who just want to get it done with, here's an option.
Here's a link to the evo page on amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/s/r...nics-tradein&field-keywords=evo&Go.x=0&Go.y=0

anyone who does this is a moron when you can get much more money selling it yourself via craigslist or ebay

Now I am leaning towards the S II and it appears AT&T will have it but not so sure about Sprint. Plus on my Evo 4G, Wimax is great when I can get a decent signal, but keeping the connection has been a problem (e.g. in car or more than a few feet away from a window).
I had AT&T previously and never had any significant service issues. But I have no idea what type of HSPA+ speeds I'll get or if the connection holds any better than Wimax.
I will probably just wait until after the 3D and S II are both launched and see the reviews on performance.

I thought it was already leaked that Sprint is gonna get it? It's supposed ot be called the Within.
On another note, I just checked the Amazon Trade In program on the 19th and the black EVO was valued at $209. It freaking dropped in price like a mofo. I guess it was a mistake or alot of peeps started trading them in already getting ready for the 3D.

when the evo dropped last year, Best Buy was selling the hero for $29 (the phone I had just paid over $150 for with an upgrade). talk about being sh**ted on (got hero in January, got Evo the day it released)
Not sure about phones, but I am planning on selling 2 of my old digital cameras I have laying around. Amazon cash is just as good as real cash in my house.
If you are planing to upgrade through sprint then I would do the Sprint upgrade program... If you are going with a different carrier then use amazon, eBay or craigslist ... my 2cents
Greetings all,
I have been a long Time fan and browser of XDA, I hardly Post on here cause pretty much all my questions get answered by the allmighty "Search" button.
Well anyway, I have had my Incredible for Over a Year, It is one of the Originals that came with the Super Amoled Screen.
I Am switching to T-mobile with a Family Plan, Verizon is just gonna be too expensive... Considering their new Data plans...
So I will be selling my Droid Incredible, Which is currently Rooted and Running CM7. It is in Great condition, everything works... I like to take care of my things, especially if they are expensive.
So I was Wondering What would be a good price to sell my phone? I dont have the box, or Stock Charger, I have a regular wall charger.

No more than $100. For a phone that already has a sequel, most people aren't going to be interested in buying it.

Used ones are >$150 on eBay and only the bad ESN ones sell for around $100. $100 for one with a good ESN is a bargain.
