Good to know. I love my EVO. The phone is just awesome. I try to burn thru the data like a mad man. Good find on the deal though.

Here's a forum for the EVO: http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-4g/

Does not seem to work with corporate discounts.

Good find though OP.

Hilarious, and so true it hurts. The EVO is hands down a superior phone, but you'll never convince the apple fanboys.

Great deal on the EVO if you can get it. Green for OP.

Good deal, but man the monthly charge is whew! $99 for a month...

advocatus said: EVO vs iPhone 4

LOL that was hilarious and I own an iPhone 4.

does Sprint.com charge CA tax? at checkout, there is no sales tax included. but i'm afraid sales tax might be tacked on in the end (after you have to enter your SSN for a credit check). i don't want to get a credit check just to see that they charge tax.

This didn't work for me.

So I google and found a promo code.

Promo code "SAVE50" works, it gives you $50 invoice credit per phone. So with $100 mail in rebate, the price also comes down to $149.99 + tax

Dropped the price already?

That video was great.

Loved the reply video too.

I love the arguments between these phones...
the evo has a higher MP camera but the iphone4 takes better pictures....
the evo has a bigger screen but the iphone4 has a higher res screen...
the evo has a removable battery but the iphone4 battery lasts 3-4 times longer..
the evo is more of an open platform, resulting in instability over a large number of devices, while the iphone4's app marketplace is controlled and the apps in it are perfectly stable, due to the iphones consistant hardware.
the evo is 4g, but you do not live in a 4g area.

Goood stuff.

Does this work for SERO contract renewal?

Maybe it only works for new contracts? Also, I was in Sprint's "Private Store"... not sure how I got there, but it was through Google-ing.

This is what I got using "SAVE50"

If you want a phone that's open and embraces freedom, get an EVO 4G.
If you want a phone that has a guiding hand making sure apps are reliable, but comes with big brother standard, get an iPhone 4.

Some people want freedom, accepting compromises and will chose EVO 4G. Some people are okay with big brother if it means that ends at their phone... and they'll chose iPhone 4.

Some people are okay with a 2 GB cap. Some people want totally unlimited data.

iPhone, EVO 4G, tomato, tomato.

I have to disagree about openness;

Google makes their "default" apps (Gmail, Maps, etc.) completely closed source and even takes down anyone who tries to share them.
By contrast Palm releases all source code for their apps.
Also, you need to root your phone to get access to certain parts, which has proven especially difficult with the EVO.
-From iphone vs android vs webos (lifehacker)

agreed. android is no more open than ios.

When it all boils down to it - it's a phone. As long as it can check voicemails and sext, what else is there..

It didn't work for me. When I clicked "cancel order", it asked me to confirm. Either "yes" or "no" wouldn't give me the $50 discount.

didn't work for me. spent 30 minutes on phone with sprint, only to get activation fee and shipping waived. oh well. should get it monday.

Here. I retraced my step to get the SAVE50 coupon to work!

1. Go to http://sprint.p.delivery.net/m/p/nxt/ais/wdyw.asp
2. Use "mail@rom.com"
3. Click on "Shop and Save" button.

Notice the "Private Store" on the upper left.

4. Click on the "Start shopping" button on the welcome tab.

Find the HTC Evo, add it to the cart and apply the coupon code "SAVE50". This gives you $50 invoice credit per phone.

There you go!

Darn....does not work with EPRP.

just a warning to people who want to get this phone, Sprint charges the extra $10 4g fee if you have 4g in your area yet or not. Just something to keep in mind.

No. Sprint is one of the 4 major cell phone carriers. They do not have VOIP.

Thanks for the heads up. Got in on one from my employer corporate store, didn't bother with the add'l $50 loophole.

Has anyone been able to get the $100 MIR after buying a phone at Radio Shack or Best Buy where they give you an instant rebate? I thought some time back someone had posted that the rebate dept. at Sprint doesn't look to see where you bought the phone, just look to see that you did activate it on your account. That would make the EVO only $99!
