Are we sure this deal lasts till 12/18 ? I'm currently swamped with finals and wouldnt be able to make it down to Best Buy till the 14th.
Haha if this bad boy is only $99 then I am definitely jumping on this.
Yes, i have the flyer right here.

I just paid $299 on Thursday night...think they will let me return and repurchase? Not sure what their policies are...
Edit....yup, they refunded $200+tax to my AMEX...SWEET!
I returned mine last month with no problems, not even a restocking fee, after a week of use. Buy it again and return other with the older receipt if they give you problems.

WOW. Now THATS a STEAL! Give me my $500 back!
Can you please scan and post the flyer in full?
Best Buy has a guarantee on their price I believe. You should be refunded the difference without having to.return.

It starts today in Memphis Tn as well. They were handing out a single sheet flyer yesterday. Trying to decide between it and the Captivate.
Can anyone share more info on this? I check BestBuy online weekly ad and see nothing of this sort. Love to get one for my wife too at this price.
* EDIT *
I just called my best buy today (Sunday - 12/12) and they said that price was no longer available today. A live person told me it was for Friday and Saturday only??!! :-(
* EDIT #2 *
Called again, same store but asked for mobile dept. They checked confirmed this is true. $99. Nation wide sale. Price adjusted my and got another one for my wife. Cant be happier. Thanks for the post!!!
$99.99 Dell Streak
Checked ad this morning and nothing in it. Checked ATT phones for sell at Best Buy and on the item page it was $99.99. Called at 8:35 AM and talked to them. They said print out info and bring it in and they would match the price. I just paid $$379.00 for Dell Streak and OtterBox Commuter Friday 10 Dec 2010 and Sunday at 11:30 AM I got $214.00 back. Dell Streak final Cost $99.99 plus Tax. Not a bad deal. Dayton Ohio.
300 USD unlocked would be really really nice.
they should let you activate the phone at home like the iPhone 2G,
confirmation $99
I can confirm price is $99 now. I am in Denver. I purchased mine last tuesday at the 299 price. Today I looked in the ad for this week and it wasnt in there but did show online for $99 and in the store for $99. got a credit as that is Bestbuy's policy
Lovin the streak even more now that it only cost me $100 bucks!
Wish I had an upgrade available :-(

Hey all,
So I have been a proud owner of a Vibrant for half a year now. Bought mine from T-mobile stores a week after launch offcontract for $500 and have been really happy with it. On 2.2 Nero V2 now.
Anyway, a family member wants the same phone now since they've tinkered with mine and love it. Where can I find a brand new Vibrant off contract the cheapest?
I'm assuming after half a year, the phone should be cheaper than the $500 I bought it new but I'm not finding any place really which has it cheaper than that. Anyone can help?
Last time I looked I saw some on ebay for around the ~$300 range. So you should be able to find some there around that price. Maybe even some cheaper if you don't care if they are used / refurbs.

Well I do. I prefer a boxed one.
Double post.
You can still find boxed ones for around the 300 range just take a look. I saw some in the lower 300's like 325 or so.
Where... would that be?
purchased my vibrant for about $160 with box and all off craigslist. Rooted it and unlocked it for my carrier
just bought one off Craigslist..... (hopefully you are near a metro area) 260.00
Typically here in n.cal 250 is the low side and anything above 285 you can get all day every day......
I bought mine off ebay $250 with free shipping. Granted I checked everyday for half a month for it.
Had to root and unlock it myself though.

T-mobile just did a price drop a week or two ago ($50 drop) to $349 with a 2 year contract.
I would say once a bunch of honeycomb / dual core / 4g tablets get unveiled at CES in a week that the price will drop.
Right now the galaxy tab is the only android tablet game in town so they don't have any incentive to drop the price without any real competition until the new tablets come out at CES.
I agree tho on the $299 contract price being a sweet deal and exactly what I'm waiting for as well
I got my tab on black friday. I saw an ad online for t-mobile's BOGO deal. For those who can't figure it out, it stands for "buy one get one" free. According to the ad, the tab was listed as one of the eligible devices so I called up the closest corporate store and asked if the had any in stock. They told me they had 8 in stock so I told the guy to set aside 2 and I would head on down and go with the BOGO deal. He told me the tab wasn't eligible for that deal but I pointed out that the ad said it was. He then stated that they just completed some recent product training and was positive that the tab was not eligible for BOGO. Again, I said then why does your ad state that it does. With that he put me on hold for a few minutes and when he came back he said to just come on down and we'll honor the ad. So I did and I walked out of the store an hour later with 2 tabs for 400 bucks. No sales tax either because I bought it in New Hampshire. I haven't re-examined that ad since I picked up my tab, but perhaps I read it wrong. Either way I got two tabs for the price of one. It was a deal I couldn't pass up.

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)

~300-350
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
I'm pretty sure that you'll be able to get $150-200 for the evo so upgrading shouldn't be too expensive.

LMAO!!! I must go change my shorts...
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.
i sold my pre for 220 when the evo came out, and this phone will still be more up to date than my old pre was

It's going to be a long time before the evo drops in price, at work we have a pretty excellent contract with Sprint and the evo is the only device we don't get a discount on. We can get -literary - any other device for free... but not the evo. I had to beg to get one...
Just fwiw. I wouldn't mind a drop in price though, my wife's 12 months are almost up and she's sick of her moment

Through a fun glitch with Best Buy and my upgrade I got my Evo for $50. The phone was $200 and I sold my Moment to a coworker who was not eligible for an upgrade for $150.
They were selling for 200+ on ebay at the time, and she offered $200 but she just had a baby and I'm a nice guy.
Ordered the pebble blue 16GB model yesterday at about 2:00pm CST with overnight delivery. Confirmed, with tracking and hope to finally have an S3 in hand within the next 12 hours or so.
Figured I'd stop in to say hi.
Looking forward to the good times I'm sure this forum will bring.

I also left Sprint to go to T-Mobile and picked up the GSIII. I completely agree, their data speeds are beyond pathetic. Trying to use "3G" is on par with my dial up modem from the 90's and 4G is spotty at best
I had been with T-Mobile for 8 years and left 2 years ago to go to Sprint. At the time, T-Mobiles 3G was still in its relative infancy and Sprint had just started rolling out Wimax 4G. Oh, how the tables quickly turn; Sprint has given up on Wimax and are now selling LTE phones with no freakin' LTE network live yet. T-Mobile on the other hand has vastly improved upon their network speeds.
http://www.phonearena.com/news/T-Mo...ter-than-Verizons-4G-LTE-in-11-cities_id31387
Haters scoff at T-Mobile calling HSPA+ "4G" but I think the results speak for themselves. The final nail in the coffin, along with the above article, was seeing my wife's 2 year old MyTouch consistently get quadruple the speeds of my Sprint device.
It's good to be back...
