evo 3d price point

[Starfleet Captain]

So the vibe i'm getting here is that we all hope its going to be $199. We would be willing to pay $250 but we wouldnt be happy about it.

upgrading with premier customer status gives you a new contract price so im gettin the phone no matter what the cost.

Sprint just announced yesterday that they were getting rid of mail-in rebates in favor of instant discounts. Also they've never had two different prices for full upgrades versus new customers (not that i can remember anyway) so I don't think that's going to happen here.

I read that it would only be temporary, did Sprint say if it was temporary or permanent?

They never said. I'm sure it will eventually be permanent.

It'll probably be $250 because why not? They sold out last time for many months at $200, why not sell out and collect $250?

 

[bboykin87]

Like every one else here I think it'll be around $200-$250... I hope they don't go higher than that, or I'd just hold onto my EVO until something better came out or they dropped the price.

I was thinking about the nexus s, but that doesn't seem like much of an upgrade.

The EVO sent this on its own...

^^ I think this is the best

they'll have for this year up until summer ••> ?2012?(IMO).

 

[PSYCHOTRON_CB]

I think i am going to just buy it off contract.

the selling your phone to pay for termination fees is not a bad idea, never thought of that, id be willing to pay the 250 for the phone no more then that thou

That is a great idea although you will lose your number. For what it's worth, I was told by a Sprint rep that you can upgrade to Gold status (which you must have for three months) and use your upgrade and then downgrade back to Silver a month later. Also, you must upgrade to Gold before the April 1st change.

im just gonna sell my evo to my cousin for 200 and hes given me his old intercept, then ill sell the intercept for prolly 100 on ebay when the 3d comes out, by that time my etf wont be too high and i should have enough to pay for both the etf and phone

This device will be no less then 250.00... expect 299.99 based on what I hear from sprint Contact...

 

[michael.molloy1985]

whats gold status?

 

[Djblue]

whats gold status?

A status of The sprint premier program. The gold status lets your primary account receive a upgrade every year, instead of every 2.

$299? I guess Sprint is looking to lose customers on this.

Verizon is going to keep releasing more and more LTE phones and their LTE network will keep expanding. With that in mind, I'd take a Thunderbolt, @ $199 (VzW's already running a promo on it for $149) any day, over any over priced phone on Sprint Nextday's network.

If Sprint thinks their going to be able to keep customers and or expand their customer base, they're not going to be able to do it at a $10 discount versus Verizon.

Let's see .. If you get a Thunderbolt at $199 and the EVO 3D ends up being $299, on a 24 month contract, you'll say $90 with Sprint. The catch is, you'll end up paying for it with their slower network speeds and delayed texts/voicemails.. Because so many texts/voicemails are delayed around here, my friends and I call Sprint Nextel, "Sprint NextDay".

does the gold statuses apply without the taxes? because i just looked at my phone bill and i pay 175 for two lines, and 14 dollars are just government taxes

 

[cdjh]

The epic was $250 at launch. No way this comes in less than that. I could see $299 since sprint (every carrier really) has gone all greedy on us....

 

[ekt8750]

I love how everyone is taking one person's unsourced whisper down the lane as gospel.

 

[piaband]

You guys are crazy. This is Sprint's flagship device. The Epic4G was not a flagship.

This phone will be $199, no doubt.

And I cant wait to get it and blow the doors off all the other phones out there...in 3D!!!!

 

[Djblue]

hmmm. idk since the Echo is priced at $199. I would like the E3D to be $199, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was higher.
