I can't imagine I am the only person who has considered this and I am wondering if there is a reason why everyone else is talking about just buying one outright instead of doing that.
Add up the costs of running your proposal through the time when you'd shut down the other line, then compare to the extra $250 you'd spend on buying it outright.

For comparison - check out the sprint site, you'll see that:
TP2 $449.99
PRE $549.99
Intrepid $449
Bold $449

Verizon:
Droid $559.99
Incredible $529.99

I'd just buy it outright if I were you. The outright EVO price is really great for a flagship (brand new release) phone with no contract. Aside from the good price, this would allow you to keep your January rebate and potentially use it for a newer phone at that time - or whenever you feel like it after January.
