Still oos at the local RS since the $129.99 price promo. I have three RS within 10 miles and none of them have restocked this phone. RS sucks. The $10 coupon is a good deal but if they don't have the phone there really isn't anything else to buy for me at RS
Having owned this phone as an Evo 3D for Sprint I can't recommend it. 3D is a gimmick and the phone is bulky and slow.
The HTC One V on the other hand is ergonomically a dream and light as a feather with great battery life...if you can get it for 50 jump on it, it's also slow but mine is overclocked to 1.5 ghz on AOKP and smooth as butter for Google Music and Nike+ (all I use it for is as a media device)

The 3D is a gimmick, but the phone itself is fine. I own and use it right now. The battery life could be a little better, but I threw a $5 extended battery from CowBoom in it and I get about a day and a half out of a charge. Average about 8mbps from the 4G, too.
I guess I could have the lowest price too if it was out of stock
hey i have an idea, i'll list them for sale on my site for $19.99 but show them OOS!
I've tried zip codes in different cities on both coasts (change the dropdown to "50mi") and all of them came up with hits. Maybe you have the distance too small.
...or maybe it truly is out in there areas that are convenient to you (I only knew east and west coast zips off the top of my head)....but there are plenty out there according to the site.

I've been looking for a One V for $50 for a while now. That is a solid little phone for those who don't need games and such running all the time.

Funny. I have this phone and like it quite a bit. But I also bought a One V when they were on sale to have as a backup. I recently took that phone out of the box and was pretty surprised by how snappy it was. And it really is beautifully thin and light.
But the thing that really shocked me was how much better the One V's camera is. The Evo V 4g's camera so slow as to be almost useless for taking stills of moving subjects. The One V on the other hand was super responsive.
Does anyone know if there is a way to speed up the camera on the Evo?
I was able to price match at Target (who had four on a peg when I went there). The kid behind the service desk was completely uninterested in being there, so maybe I just got lucky. Worth a try!

All of my local Radioshacks showed it in stock online, but when I called, no one had it in. Most of the stores around me only had one or two in stock when the sale initially started, and they sold quickly. The only place I even found one around me was at Wal-Mart and it was the last one too. The hilarious thing was, the guy at the counter there kept trying to get me to switch to StraightTalk. He kept talking about all the features of ST over Virgin Mobile, and tried telling me that Virgin Mobile was in the process of being shut down, but I haven't seen or heard anything like that. I didn't know whether to ask for proof or laugh in his face. -Diana

Sprint is absolutely horrible, and that's coming from someone who worked for them. I just bought a Nexus 4 to put on T-Mobile ST and tested it side by side with my Sprint Galaxy Nexus....8Kbps vs 28 Mbit.
The 3Ds camera is worse that the one v because the one v has a backlit sensor that is actually very good.

I'm going to do the same thing with the Google X phone (mid-summer release?)
Horrible, RadioShack sucks I called a local store in nyc and they had one in stock. I went to the store but they refused to sell it to me because I was not buying a refill card or signing up for a new Virgin Mobile account. I called customer service and was told that each store is individually owned. What a waste of time.
$10 coupon does not work with this item because it's on sale. I was told that the coupon can only be used on items that are not on sale.
