Might wirefly, etc offer EVO for $149?

[yeahthatsme]

I hate to be cheap but I do love a bargain. Anyone know of wirefly's pricing or amazon or any other site offering a deal for those of us who don't need the phone right away?

Thanks.

They may, and I would still tell them to kiss my ass. I waited 1 year from them for my rebate before. That was with countless calls and letters. I think their business model is to hope 50% of the people just forget about their rebate or give up and they can profit more

 

[yeahthatsme]

Thank you that is good to know about their business practices, I will think twice.

Seems they are covering the rebate on other phones, i.e. they have the incredible for $149. I guess I will fire them up at midnight and check their price then.

Another thing you might want to look at is if you cancel within a certain amuont of time, wirefly can charge you an additional cancellation fee.

I don't remember how long it is, might be 6 months

$199 (at BB) - $50 (Sprint Renewal Credit) = $149 (ftw)

No MIR to deal with at all!!

What's the "Sprint Renewal Credit"?

 

[jam4775]

If you are done, or almost done, with your contract Sprint will give you a $50 "Loyality" Renewal Credit for renewing your contract with them for another 2 years. BUT... you have to make sure you do it before you upgrade your phone because you'll have to renew your contract then and you won't get the credit. This Renewal Credit does NOT effect/change your upgrade schedule.

Wirefly has the EVO listed for $169 with free standard shipping. Not worth it, to the Sprint store for me after all.

the price is 169 BEFORE 50 off from bing cash back. go to bing.com search wirefly

I will most likely get mine through wirefly. I can't find where you saw the pricing yet, but they did have the incredible for 149 at launch. 50$ bing cash back, and no tax or shipping means even if it is 169, I will be saving at least 80 bucks or so. Will be a bummer to have to wait for shipping, but I can't justify 80 bucks to have it a few days early .

Not for me, I simply can not wait any longer. I'm going to pick up my pre-ordered at best buy tomorrow.. I wonder how long before it sells out on wirefly.

 

[Darth Duane]

Just placed my order through wirefly. 169 with no tax or shipping charges and 50$ bing cash back.

FYI for anyone in PST like me, if you change your computer time zone to EST it will let you order now instead of waiting for midnight lol.

I just took advantage of the deal. I was prepare to go to Sprint and bill the phone to my account. But thanks to this, I get a cheaper retail price and actually make money with Bing Cashback.

 

[Darth Duane]

Anyone actually have their order go through?

I ordered at midnight last night and it's showing as out of stock =(.

I had to be one of the first to put an order through so I'm wondering if they never had any stock to begin with or if there really were that many people putting in orders at midnight.

 

[yeahthatsme]

I checked wirefly as I hem and haw about where to buy and they jacked the price to $189! I am going to avoid this flaky outfit, support my local Shack.

 

[Yourdogsdead]

I was going to order online, but then decided just to walk into the store and get it. I can't stand the wait, it kills me.

 

[Darth Duane]

yeah I saw that they raised the price this morning. Glad I ordered at midnight. Even if I have to wait a while longer saving the extra 70 or so bucks after tax + 50$ bing cashback is worth it to me, I can be patient.

Ok it's killing me...but I can be patient I swear.

 

[Darth Duane]

I guess it was just a delay in their system, I just spoke with them and they said my order is in the process of being activated and will ship today.

YAY!

I just purchased it on Wirefly for $189, $50 Bing rebate, no shipping fee, no taxes in California (saving $45 just on that). Within 2 hours, I received notice that it's shipping. And they threw in a free bluetooth

 

[ohthebaby]

they offer it for 189 thats cheaper lol, im my experience saving few bucks might turn out to be a hassle more than a convience
