So, how much do you all anticipate that the Evo 3D will cost?

All signs point to a $199 price point with 2 year contract. The Atrix 4g, a phone with similar specs, sans the 3d, have a similar price, even though the Evo and Thunderbolt are phones with last year's technology, and they still cost $199 (they can be had for much cheaper prices if you know where to look).

Off contract, the Evo 4G costs $450 but I expect that price to drop as we approach the launch date of the Evo 3D.

But, they may pull a fast one on us and raise the price on us. I say that because the Evo was only $450 off contract. If the price of the Evo increased to say $550 or even $600, how much would Sprint be willing to subsidize? The most I've seen is $200. So assuming Sprint subsidizes $200 off a $550 - $600 phone, and a manufacturer rebate of $ 100 is offered, then the phone could cost $250 - $300 on contract. I see sprint offerong a "new customer price" of $199 but that would be for new customers only. Of course this is all assuming an off contract price that's higher than that of the original Evo. Considering a second camera for 3d, a 3d qHD display, a dual core 1.2 ghz processor, more ram, more internal storage, and a bigger battery, it could very well get that high.

What's the maximum price you'd be willing to pay for this awesome phone?

Me? I cant guarantee that woukd pay over $199. If its more than that i would wait to purchase until all the bugs are out. I can guarantee that I wont pay a dime over $250.
 
I am just not sure how much i will pay, I am jumping ship on Tmobile after being with them for 6 years and going back to Sprint (I will not use ATT). I know my Mom is looking to leave that sinking ship too so who knows what I am going to do. I got roughly 60 days to decide
 
I am selling my Evo 4G to get the Nexus S and selling the Nexus S when the 3D hits.

Just curious, if you don't mind my asking, Why do you have 60 days to make a decision?
 
when will we know the price? I'm kinda in a pickle bc I have a little less than a week until I can upgrade and I'm deciding between evo 4g and evo 3d. I know the obvious choice here is to wait and get the evo 3d. but I want to know how much more the 3d is gonna cost me. also, being able to have netflix work on my phone is one of my deciding factors. nobody seems to know about netflix and prob won't until they announce something but at least I'd like to have the price point set so I can make a decision based on that. so when do you think they'll announce the price?
 
Ill pay 250 but that means ill be getting a nexus instead of 2. I'll pay 300 get this epic away. I'm kidding. 250 the most.

Well, either way you slice it, your best bet is to exercise a little patience and wait. Its not like you will lose your upgrade if you dont use it right away. If you wait and the Evo 3D is outside your price range, the price of the Evo 4g will likely be cheaper due to the Evo 3D's impending release. Its a win win.

As far as Netflix goes, I highly doubt it will come to any of the Evo's considering that the rival blockbuster app will be preinstalled. Since Netflix is really picky about the hardware in the phones its app is installed in, it will more than likely come preinstalled on phones of its choice and NOT be available in the App Market.

With Sprint patience is definitely a virtue especially since the phone will sell itself at first but when it loses steam they will offer a new incentive to keep it relevant. Netflix could be installed though because they are starting a whole push to mobile devices, If not it should be available for it shortly after launch.
 
I think it'll be over $200. Sprint has been greedy recently since there gain in customers this year.

Just look at what they did to there premier program.

how about this, I just signed up with sprint a few months ago. There is no way I am getting an upgrade. I will sell my evo to pay for the termination fee and then resign up with the evo 3d. I should end up paying around 200 for a kick ass phone.
 
I'm hoping for no more than $200 but would be willing to go up to $250. Anything more than that I'll probably be looking at the Nexus S. All's I know is I have to get rid of my Blackberry as quickly as possible.
 
I'm anticipating this might be the layout:

(Upgrade)
$249 (plus tax) with a two year contract, plus mailing rebate of $100.

(New customers)
$199 (plus tax) with a two year contract, plus mailing rebate of $100.

(Buying)
$450 upfront(plus tax).

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.
 
@ ekt8750..Oh, I guess I miss that announcement.

Personally, regardless of what price range it might be •> I will sell my EVO to get it, or just wait on my upgrade to kick in.

You're so right on that. I forgot. :)
 
I have a feeling it will be $250 after rebate. But thats just a gut feeling with that.
