I wouldn't either. Unfortunately, I'm not eligible for an upgrade credit of any amount, nor even the rebate. By the way, you won't get out of the store for $200. Maybe $350, since you will pay tax on the full $449, and the rebate has to be mailed in, unless you get it at Best Buy. Still, close to $250 will be the tally. And a new contract. For me, I get to try this thing for 3 weeks or so before deciding if I want it. Yes, I know you can opt out when buying from Sprint too, but what a hassle getting it all unwound. I'll be able to acid test this thing, and ALL features are turned on too, including the hotspot, etc. And I have time to find the best plan I can set up. Who knows, maybe someone will figure out how to swap the ESN onto a SERO account after cancelling the Sprint/Google IO line. Sure, no 4G, but that's a non-issue to me. Stability in the device is the real issue for me.
This thing boots up completely in a minute. My TP2 has a long grind to be fully functional. Sense doesn't start well at all, takes forever. And the mid-day reboots are common enough for that to be a real business issue. So the Evo may be the solution. I can sell the TP2 for almost that much, since it's unlocked and they go for a lot more on eBay. I still have the Mogul as a temp backup
