You're comparing 2yr contract price with non contact price?
I think it's been that price for a while
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
It has been. I have absolutely no idea as to why they sent out a notice now.... screwy advertising.
wtf indeed. I got mine for $49 back in june.
Yeah, I bought mine for $49 (w/ two year contract) from BestBuy in July. The no contract price has not changed (I don't believe)
It was a penny from Amazon (w/2yr AT&T contract) back in June.

i may not be the sharpest, but i''ll still shank the eff outta you. keep ur condescending effinb remarks to yourself genius. I happened to buy my 1st atrix outright because i had just reupped my contract for an i-4 and sold it to get the atrix a few days after it came out. not that I need to explain it to anyone such as yourself. If all you have to say is **** like what you did then save your breath. its not needed around here.

I guess we are considered early adopters when buying the galaxy tab in the first few days of launch.
Not even 2 weeks later and in the UK the prices drop, at Carphonewarehouse by £45, 10%
I feel being ripped off and would like the difference back. Not yet successful however...
Anyone else more successful?

new from store... 499 at sprint... that doesnt go down... or 699 at radio shack like they said above lol.
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.
My brother is due for an upgrade and he's new to android. I think the phone will be great for him. So I was wondering where is the best place to buy an epic? I'm looking in terms of price and deals. So far, the best deal I found was at radio shack where I can get one for $49 + tax w/ contract after trading any old working phone.

Are you sure? the radioshack employee told me that it was $149 for an upgrade, then take off $100 after trading in any old working phone, which would come to $49 + taxes...said that the promotion was going to end saturday, so I'm assuming it must've just started. I'm gonna call them to double check.

wow, can't beat that. ridiculous that the evo is still pulling $199 on contract
Talked to two different radio shack stores just now. The first store that I called said that its for new contracts only. The second one I called said that upgrades were indeed eligible for the offer, and the first store I called didn't know what they were talking about. She even went on to say that she just recently did the same offer for an upgrading customer...so I don't know what to believe.
Well I manage a RadioShack, so I'm pretty sure that it is only for new activations. The store maybe able to add the $100 trade and save rebate but the store will charged back for it.

I called a 3rd and 4th store in my area, both said that upgrades were a go. They also said that ANY working trade-in phone would qualify for the deal, doesn't matter the value. I guess I'll just have to wait until my brother and I head down there later this week.

Don't hate the company because you left them or were terminated. Yes they do give a lot for iphone trade in but there is never a price drop for the iphone either. As far as love for other phones. A $100 trade in towards the epic to bring it down to $50 is pretty good. Love them our hate them you still get some of the best prices out there and employees who will go that extra mile for you instead of just clerking you out.

Looked at the radioshack ad. The epic price IS $149.99 on new activation, and the $100 trade-in IS also on new activation....
....Buuuuut...went to my local radioshack store. She took my cheap $20 virgin mobile phone, and rang up the epic under my brother's line. Kept ringing up to $198 after a couple tries, then she did something with the computer and it rang up to $98 after taxes...

Contract upgrade, so 160 euro's only. Prices for new play's are around 500 euro over here
if you pay attention to ebay now there are alot online now. the google io was 2 days ago i think and most developers are just selling to get rid of. i got a brand new one for $475 shipped.
I bought my white R800a unlocked/unbranded on Monday off a dude from Craigslist in SF that got it at a Qualcomm Android developer summit, for $600 cash.
I also noticed a bunch are on eBay for sale from the Google I/O event. Kind of sad in a way as the devs should be using them to develop better games for us!
I guess their loss is your gain

Isn't the AT&T one only free because Amazon only supports upgrades through the next program? Unless something changed from when the thread started it says 2 year upgrade not available, and has a monthly Next fee just like AT&T does.

Just wanted to stop by and thank the OP for this post cause you saved me $200......well $199.99!
Due to me being on SERO-P I haven't been able to jump on these types of deals since I switched to SERO-P on the Evo 4G. I found out from someone on Slickdeals that Discover's price protection worked on cell phones so I figured I'd try it this time. When I preordered the G4 I made sure I used Discover. I waited until my 14 day return period passed before submitting my claim with Discover. It took a little over a week after resubmitting my claim and it is now approved.
So now I get the best of both worlds...SERO-P and super cheap phones!
I only see this phone on Amazon for $99. I'm assuming this deal is over?

How was the amazon 99 cent/ free deal good on AT&T?
Cause you'd end up paying $600 for it in the end anyway. Cause if your under contract your bill is $25 higher.
