Re: Anyone have an idea on the price for the Evo 4G?
It's not really fair to compare this to the HD2 or TP2 with regards to price point - not because the TP2 and HD2 are "business phones and businesses can afford more" - but because of the OS. WinMo requires a license fee, which just gets passed on to the consumers (a.k.a The Microsoft Tax). The EVO 4G is running Android, which is open source and does not require a license. No M$ Tax = cheaper MSRP.
I'd say it will be comparable to the Incredible in price, so around $199-$249 after discounts and rebates as most have said. In fact, I'm thinking more like $249 - I think Sprint can get away with charging just a bit more because of the features it has above and beyond the Incredible (WiMax, of course, plus the front facing camera and HDMI out).
