how much did u pay for your epic touch

junebogey · October 19th, 2011, 08:29 PM

I have an evo and wanted to upgrade but its only been 16months

i have the 1 year 75$ upgrade

BenChase7 · October 20th, 2011, 12:55 AM

I'd find something you like used on craigslist, or something. Save that upgrade till next summer when Sprints network upgrades are complete (Network Vision). In my opinion, Sprint usually has the best phone selection available, and they usually release their flagship phones in the summer months. Since next Summer, the Network upgrades (including LTE) will be available... the timing is great.. You'll defiantly be wanting a phone that can take advantage Network Vision. The timing works out great.. Sprints hot new phones + New and improved network!

For now.. just keep your eyes open for a good price on a used Photon, EVO 3D, or Epic Touch to hold you over till the summer when you can get the best of the best. As much as I love my new Epic Touch... I kind of wish I would have done the same.

Full price, so $500. Worth every penny

somedude922 · October 20th, 2011, 09:49 AM

I paid 99$. Sprint wouldnt pricematch an upgrade so I went to Best Buy. The girl had a line piling up and when she asked what to match I said 149. next thing my total was 108.25. needles to say i QUICKLY swiped my card!

apinkel · October 20th, 2011, 09:50 AM

I'm in the same boat...

I'm planning to save my upgrade until sprint releases their first LTE phones. In the mean time if I happen across a good deal on a used Epic Touch I may buy it (full retail is a bit too rich for me right now).

The $75 1 year discount isn't worth restarting a new 2 year contract IMO.

oscarod · October 22nd, 2011, 02:27 PM

Full

pappabacon · October 22nd, 2011, 03:03 PM

$199 new customer.

lilotimz · October 22nd, 2011, 05:33 PM

Gotta love discounts...

JUSTQUAN2 · October 22nd, 2011, 09:01 PM

$546 &some change. I dont like to use my upgrades. I will comb the forums and blogs. Find out what device is being releases and save up for it.

styrofoamplate · October 22nd, 2011, 11:13 PM

$53 :d

DrCaleb · October 23rd, 2011, 09:49 PM

$112 from the Sprint store. I can wait for my next upgrade. Some one please stop me from thinking about getting an iPhone on a special plan.

Please.

Why would you go backwards? Not only is the iPhone much smaller, it's stuck on 3G and the ET bests it in several categories

Psychotron I do not want to go backwards. I just keep thinking about seeing all of my friends that have the iPhone and i have to remind myself that I love the 4.5 inch screen. Not to mention the fact that the battery can be replaced if and when needed.

I love my 4g Touch.

I can understand this you're switching phone companies often, but if you're not then seems like you're wasting a lot of money.

Besides wouldn't it be cheaper to use the upgrade and pay the ETF than to pay full price and then decide you want to switch? And if you're buying a new phone and you have no upgrade to use then no big deal since you have the ability to pay full price.

androidninja · November 1st, 2011, 10:06 AM

50 bucks because i took my evo back to target where i got it and they lowered the ssg2 from 199 to 150. So basically the htc evo 3d was 100 so i only had to spend 50 bucks on this phone. Well worth every damn penny

rod78vw · November 3rd, 2011, 09:24 AM

I just upgraded from a Hero, picked it up for $149 @ Best Buy. They did a price match on Amazon
I hope this helps somebody.

Very simple, I keep my devices is excellent condition. The slightest issues I will have them send me another. Also my job enables me to do so. I have a sprint account for my personal, vzw and att for the job. So if something nice is released I sell the the device and put the money towards a new one. Depending on what device it is I will go with what the I.T dept picks. Since I am cool with those guys we all usually have the same device. I got tired of the thunderbolt so I moved back to sprint for the bb 9930. Tired of that, sold it for $310, went to sprint along with my $235 and now I have the epic touch. So non technically I used the same amount as the upgrade price. Also if and when I do move to another provider I can always put my personal in seasonal stand by for $8/mon.. So the ETF I would pay I put to the side and pay the stand by. So once you figure out a system things make perfectly good sense.

FrankyKnucklez · November 5th, 2011, 04:57 PM

$99 at Amazon. No tax. Sprint couldn't do better than $199 and I'm a new customer. So far love it but below 15 % battery, functions start to fail. Screen and colors are amazing.

erick295 · November 6th, 2011, 04:44 PM

I just ordered mine for $150 after seeing this thread... I had no idea Amazon sold phones like that... awesome! No one should be paying $200+ for it. Retail is for suckers

thekarens · November 6th, 2011, 09:34 PM

$100 through Wirefly and BOA's add it up program.

Ryno79 · November 6th, 2011, 10:14 PM

i waited(resisting the urge to spike my POS Transform into the pavement) for my full-boat renewal uprade at a sprint store, $199 plus tax.

davis.rob · November 7th, 2011, 11:43 AM

$149 upgrade price through Wirefly (+ no taxes which is significant in CA).

oubravs2b · November 8th, 2011, 08:18 PM

$375 new on craigslist from a Sprint employee

Rob4828 · November 10th, 2011, 04:27 PM

$199 new customer this phone flys

chrlswltrs · November 19th, 2011, 11:55 PM

Less than everyone else, not sure if I can post how much. Because I work for BestBuy mobile Sprint gives me a killer deal on a phone and monthly plan because they want me to have their phone to show customers.

If you aren't eligible for an upgrade you would have to pay full retail which is $699 at best buy.

Tommydaniel · November 20th, 2011, 09:52 PM

Traded in my Nexus S 4G at Best Buy and it paid for the Epic Touch, WIN!

Just go to a sprint store if you're going to pay full price, it's $499.

chillas · November 21st, 2011, 10:56 AM

Just paid 1 cent with 2-yr contract at Amazon. Should have it by Wednesday. Upgrading from an Eris.

Nice. I saw amazon was running a deal for any smart phone (except iPhone) for one cent.

jaysonp · November 25th, 2011, 02:19 AM

129.00 on Amazon NO TAX!!!

Arken · November 25th, 2011, 01:26 PM

I paid 1 cent on amazon. They had this insane deal and the phone was already perfect but an added bonus for being near free.

jmejiaa · November 25th, 2011, 09:02 PM

Been looking to jump from T mobile to sprint for a while now, just ordered two of them on a family play for 1 cent each

Best buy will buy your phone from you, then use that money for your new one. You get more money if you use Best Buy's Buy Back program, but even if you didn't get it when you bought your phone they will still buy your old phone from you.

According to their website they'll only pay $75 for a Nexus S 4G and the Epic 4G Touch costs $700.

Phones are MUCH MUCH cheaper when you sign a 2 year contract, like I said I paid 3 cents for 3 epic touch 4g phones.

CBowley603 · November 29th, 2011, 02:01 PM

I paid $0.01 at Amazon.com

kc_exactly · November 30th, 2011, 02:33 PM

Free from Sprint and no extension in contract.

Androidalltheway · November 30th, 2011, 11:29 PM

I paid $410.00 for brand new epic touch 4g, have had it with my evo 3d crappy call quality and reception, so hoping it is a lot better on the ET4g

Steampunker · December 1st, 2011, 01:10 AM

A penny from the Black Friday Amazon deal. I left iPhone and AT&T to come back to Sprint after 4 or so years away.

Really enjoying the phone so far!

mitroff91 · December 1st, 2011, 08:29 AM

I got mine at the shack, paid 200 for it. just coming off the iphone so trying to find the things that are stronger than the iphone. So far so good, how ever the first thing I did notice; it is fairly difficult to sync you android to your lap top/ home computer for the first time.

What are you trying to sync?

I also left the iPhone and AT&T and paid $199 for my Epic Touch 4G. I absolutely love the screen and the battery life is the best out of any android phone I owned previously.

kroving · January 9th, 2012, 07:03 AM

$99 at Target, caught it the last day of the sale. Came from an Optimus S. This new phone is SO much better in almost every way...

Ronny71 · January 9th, 2012, 09:22 AM

$79 Amazon...
