Just found out RS is now pricing the Epic at $179.99 for the next few days. Good online or in-store and for new or upgrades. Saw it online and called a store to verify.
What if you are with Sprint and eligible for the one year $75
Two year upgrade is $150, one year upgrade $75 so I believe your price would be $75 higher than the two year upgrade price. Do it at RS and it would be $179.99 +$75, $249.99. It's worth checking out.

While it seems like the difference is just $75, you don't get the associated extra "instant discount" when upgrading after a year. So it is just $75 off of list price.

This is true. Very aggrevating considering that the "instant discount" is usually offered by the manufacturer who only cares about pushing product, not whether you have a year left or not.
However, you can "buy out" the remaining time before your next upgrade eligibility by calling Sprint's Retention Dept. We have done this for two phones over the past few months, both with a upgrade date in April 2011. It cost us about $45 for each, however the representative also gave a service credit to balance that out, so it wound up being a free "buy out".

Is that the term you used when speaking to the agent? Or did you have to go through the "I'm leaving Sprint if you don't let me upgrade?"
Also, when they changed your upgrade date, how long did you have to wait for that to be active? Sprint changed my primary line to be my daughter's phone (still don't know how this changes) and now they have said they will "reset my upgrade eligibility date" but that it would take 1 to 2 billing cycles to take effect.
Wirefly had some good deals, though alot of people say not to do it through wirefly because they have their own Lil Hidden Contract fee's and what not.
Hey guys , Im gonna be a future epic owner!~
So as everyone else, i got a few question, maybe one for know since i don't have the phone yet so i'll update this threat when i do if i got some questions that i can't find answered in the board. Don't worry! I'll try to not make new useless threats, I make sure to see if there are any similar to what im thinking of posting
Now the question is where, or how can i find good deals for the phone? Of course going to sprint itself aint going to cut it for much
I found in amazonmobile for 179 for the phone

Should i just get it from Sprint?
Im just trying to save a couple of bucks or try to get the phone at the least 150.
Thanks peeps!
Alright, i gaved up on Wirefly when i read the TOS and rules ect..The company behind Wirefly, Simplexity, powers a lot of the web stores (e.g., Dell, Target). And those partner stores often have very different promotions. If you can live with their restrictions (e.g., you can't cancel or downgrade your plan for 181 days or you page a $300 penalty, trial period is more like 14 days than 30 days), check them out.
Buying from a Sprint store certainly is easiest in terms of returns/exchanges and setup support, but yes, you pay a lot for the convenience.
How about amazonwireless? Its 179 ( Actually Its 149 WOW)as stated before, is tehre any rules like how it is with WireFly?
