This is what I got from Sprint CS,

Thank you for your reply.
You will get HTC EVO at online price of $199.99. You need to make the
payment of $299.99 which include $100.00 mail in rebate, you will get
$100.00 amount back after fill in the mail in rebate form which you will
receive with the handset. If you were not eligible for the upgrade than
you would have got this phone at regular price of $449.00. As you are
eligible for the upgrade, you will get this phone at online price of
$199.99 with 2 years of agreement
We value your business and appreciate the opportunity to address your
concerns.

Sincerely,
Suzzane B.
Sprint

Yo I just thought about something... I have a Hero thats in great shape.. no scratches or anything and I noticed that BB has a buy back program for phones. Looking at the site it says that you have to be the original purchaser (im not... swapped it with someone for a tp2) and I think you have to have bought it from BB.

Anyone have any experience with this? When I answered the questions about the phone on the site they gave me an estimate of $110 gift card they'd give me for the phone.. that'd be cool if I could do that and apply it towards the $400 left I'd have to pay.

CONFIRMED I'm #1 on preorder list to get 2 evo's (wife and mine)had to be done seperatly but, the rep mgr in mesquite tx BB $449.00 price is done deal. I've been anoyying her since and my appt: is 9:00 am buying out right lot of money but worth it. Plans are designed to make you pay more in long run I wont pay for play.

I just went to my local BB and they said they would not honor the Sprint Flyer 449.99 price if they're selling it for 599.99 store price. They have no clue as to what they're going to sell the phone for so they said keep checking back....anyone else have this problem?

Sad thing is i pre-ordered 4 a week ago! but she said i could get a refund if they didnt honor that price.

I went to Best Buy today and pre-ordered mine. I'm using my wifes two year upgrade to get the $199 price. Best Buy doesn't do any mail-in rebates they give the discount instantly so you pay $199 out the door (plus tax). All I had to do was buy a $50 gift card (down payment) which I will use when purchasing the phone and fill out some piece of paper with my name, address, and phone #. They're going to call me before 6-4 and set up the time for me to pick it up so their won't be throngs of people to deal with. I was initially going to get it from sprint for $299 and forgo the rebate since as soon as I walk out of Best Buy I'm going to change the ESN to my #. By changing the ESN # inside of 30 days voids the mail in rebate hence the $299 cost from Sprint. This should work out perfectly because of the instant $100 rebate at BB, the 2yr upgrade discount of $150, plus when I called Sprint and was checking on the wifeys renewal date they said it was 6-1 and gave me an additional $70 off of my bill for renewing early. So essentially I'm going to be getting the EVO for roughly $120 which could be cheaper if I do the buy back program through Sprint and send it and have between $80-$55 dollars credited to me or my bill. I let my wife use my upgrade in January for a Blackberry cause hers tanked and she wasn't eligible yet and I was. This is the reason for all the jumping through the hoops. However, when I've spoke to all the people at Sprint Customer Service, 2 different Sprint stores, and went in to Best Buy as well as called everyone was very consistent in pricing and planning so I hope I've covered all my bases and have my ducks in a row and everything works the way it should.

I'm scared to call up or go into the Best Buy store that i pre-ordered mine. So who should i ask for about the Price match? I dont want to just ask a worker there i want to go higher up so should i ask for the cell manager? I really hope they prace match because there is a sprint store like 500ft from the BB that i pre-ordered mine at.
