Hey folks.
The white and black evo 4g are on sale at best buy for $1. It's for new lines only. I believe upgrade is 68.99 if I remember correctly. Good deal for those which want to stick with the classic evo and not jump up to the 3d. Also good for those who just got evos in the last 30 days, I got mine 2 weeks ago and got it price matched to the dollar. 36 dollar activation applies for new customers and 18 activation for upgrades. Sorry if no one finds this useful, I'm not advertising, just passing on a deal to my fellow xda peeps.
Again, this is your mileage may vary. The ad shows 99 but the tag in the store showed 1 dollar.
Happy flashing to your new evos.

150 views and no replies confirming my find? Perhaps just a local best buy promotion?

No it's not just local...picked one up the day it hit, 6/3 I believe, for my son. Just added the line to my plan for $50+tax. Just had the rep give me the box and told them I would activate it. Especially since they were feverishly attempting to upgrade two customers ahead of me to the OTA. Good deal if you ask me!
per goodandevo now free at bb with a contract

Any SERO owners here switch over to SERO Premium and get the EPIC?
I'm thinking about doing it but I was just wondering do I have to get the EPIC through Sprint or can I just buy it off eBay and activate it myself?
I hate contracts and would much rather buy the phone in full off eBay but that Sprint page about SERO Premium mentioned something about how only phones bought through Sprint could be activated and they won't activate a phone that was bought through a third-party.
Just curious if anyone here has updated to SERO Premium and how did it go.
<raises hand>
It was easy as pie all my perks came along for the ride too!
SERO Premium doesn't require a new contract when you upgrade. You should be able to activate it as long as the phone has a clean ESN - the activation process is no different than other Sprint phones. I bought my Epic through Sprint telesales, and the upgrade process from my SERO 500 minute plan to SERO Premium was painless and took about 5 minutes.
Enjoy your space phone - the Epic makes my overclocked TP2 seem ancient and useless.
Bought off sprints website for the 250 in discounts. I had it on 9/30 so had to wait a day to activate.
250 for 2 years is 10/month off compared to buying off ebay offsets the 4g 10/month charge.

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess I don't have much to worry about.
By the way, what number do I call when I want to upgrade to SERO Premium?

If anyone bought their Nexus S within the last 30 days before seeing this deal.. bring your reciept and rewards zone coupon and best buy will give you back $100.00. They did for me =)
any rewards zone coupon? lol
when i bought my phone it added the points in my rewards zone. but the coupon just came out. They just honored it because best buy has a 30 day price guarentee =)
thank you
I am fighting with them now on this ...I tried to use the coupon yesterday and it didn't work but hopefully I will get it sorted it helps to know others were successful

<.< 50 days for me lol LAME! That would put $200 back in my pocket (bought a NS for my wife and I on the same day)
I wish the discount was effective for off-contract phones, too.
Should have put coupon on the title or something similar. I thought the Nexus S was being sold at $99.99 for a second there.
Best Buy sold me mine for $50 back in January, on contract. Don't ask me how that price worked, but I didn't complain.

bout flat out so this is irrelevant for me.
Just printed coupon and heading out to BB later to see if they'll refund me 200 bucks heh
Crazy! I bought it on 3/7 on bestbuy.com and now I have to return and rebuy it cos this coupon doesn't work on bestbuy.com ..
Dude this is awesome. I'm gonna go see if I can get a hundred bucks back from best buy.
At a sprint store. I went to complain once again about my second evo's lack of working data roam and saw it.
I have an upgrade available. Should I?
No, Sprint dropped the price to $49. Also, that means new phones are coming out so they are getting rid off these older ones.
What would be the price at best buy
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App

OT here, but I was told if I purchased this from Best Buy, which I did, I would be charged the activation fee unless I purchase directly from sprint.com. Thing is, Sprint.com has different phones different prices than Best Buy or Radioshack.
I would wait with the upgrade, IMO. There are going to be so many killer phones come around the holiday season. You can suck it up for a couple more months
The only phone coming out that's worth getting is the Nexus Prime. Hopefully they cover all the carriers with it.

Are you sure the epic had horrid support from Samsung. My girl had one and having all those galaxy s phones did not help unlocking and getting aosp on it. Alot of the talented devs on sprint are here or on the evo 3d, just one thing to make note of

White is only available online, not in the stores. I'll be working that day, so if there's anyone in the nh/ma area, come see me!!
Holy crap. I gotta return the one I just bought on Amazon and get in on this deal! Hope I can.

My question is: I have the 1000 minutes Classic Family and an upgrade on my line. Am I eligible for this offer? (I also have unlimited text + 5GB)
I called a store rep and he said this is only for Unlimited Classic and Value plans. But then again he said he hasn't been notified of the sale yet.
So you still gotta pay the fee up front right? What about online? No upfront fee for that or still? Im eligable for full upgrade but was waiting about one more week for my tax return and i dont wanna miss this but dont have any for upfront fee...

Sprint wants to buy my epic from me for a whole $42. What you guys think.?.
My screen is messed up (static lines all across the bottom half of screen) and they are back ordering me a refurb one.. Should get it in a few days.
Also, my upgrade is September 1st.. I'm debating between the sgs3 and the htc evo.. Hmm

You should just etf for 100 and upgrade today. 100-42=58, so 58+199=257, which is probably worth it. Only 50 more and you upgrade today. Cancel the backorder.
That's just my opinion though. Not sure if you have to pay the deductible on the backordered epic. If so, definitely etf.

He doesn't have to etf. He can pay $50 for early upgrade with how close he is, like I did. So $50 - $42 + $ of device he upgrades to. All in all he pays $8 extra to upgrade now.

Unfortunately since mobile odin is not available on our device yet, you need a computer.
And just to warn you about walmart, I have never bought from them, but Sprint may not support you if you buy from them rather than sprint. They may not fix your device if something happens to it, depending on how nice the associate is and what store you go to. Also, if you change your contract after 30 days and before 180 days (6 months), walmart will charge you 375 I think.

I think fully-working ones are $54, at least according to the associates at my store and the website.
Not sure about bestbuy.
Just make sure before you buy from a 3rd party retailer, read the terms and conditions to decide if the initial price difference is worth it, and read reviews from people to see if they got screwed or not.
10-4 on that xbox.. Thanks for all the input.. I will definitely search around for others experience..

You have to pay to reset your upgrade, but it's based on how far into your contract you are. At how close he is he would only pay $50 like I did. And the offer for a fully working Epic is $42. I just did all of this this month when I got my Nexus.

Best buy does price match so if you take a picture of the price on the gs3 and take it there you can get the gs3 for 150.00 that is what I am going to be doing.
