I plan to buy a Evo Shift 4G later today, at Best Buy. I don't want to renew my contract, so I'll just pay for the phone. Sprint sells it for $400, outright, and BB sells it for $549 outright. Will BB match the Sprint price?

Don't "F" around, ask. Make sure you can bring some printed proof of the other price. Let them know your going to buy on the spot. If they give you any ISH, ask to talk to the head guy. If he doesn't bend just say " thank you I'll just take my business elsewhere" . They really don't want you walking out of the store. Especially if they know your serious. Two days ago went in and had BB price match an online price on computer memory. Had two buy 2GB of mem for my laptop. They ended up price matching. Just had to ask for the store manager. Nowadays they're losing way too many sales to online.

They called the sprint store, verified the price, and that it was in stock, and matched the price. No issues.
