Hey guys do you think the price of the hero is going to drop again with the release of the EVO? I want to buy this phone for my wife but am unsure whether to buy it now or wait for the EVO to drop and hope for a decrease. What do you guys think?

Re: Price Decrease

Well, it's inevitable that it will go down, but whether or not it drops below it's current $99 on June 4 is going to be tough to predict. I would say no, but by the end of June it will be down to $49 (when their aren't EVO shortages).

There should also be plenty on Ebay/Craigslist soon, but I doubt those will be around $50.

Re: Price Decrease

I got mine for $36 (after $100 mail-in rebate) on Thursday. Of course it was with a new 2 year contract. But if you shop around, and let the people know you're shopping around, and even maybe fib a little bit about what the "competition" try to sell you, you can get an amazing deal.

probably an upgrade price. if you bought outright it would still be over $400.

i don't see how they can do this when the phone has not even been out a year yet? comparing it to the touch vogue is ridiculous because that is over a 2 year old phone.
