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?

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.

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.

Yep, I expect them to drop the price to $49 likr they did with the Touch. I'm thinking about getting one then.

when I was in Radio Shack on Friday they were selling them for $49. I dont know how long that price will last. BTW, this was in Colorado.

Yeah, we were at 49 at radioshack, but it has jumped back up to 79. we may have them on sale next sunday, though.

Is that the new contract price or upgrade?

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. :banghead:
