Good pricing deals on purchasing the HTC EVO 4G (PT. 2)

of course i just bought mine at the sprint store (sero premium) for $200 a week ago cause I didn't see any deals that were worthwhile! wirefly was only $10 cheaper and I had to wait for the mail anyways. Can I return and rebuy from amazon? it seems like sprint told me that if i returned the phone i was still in contract (???)....

I don't know who told you that, I work for Sprint and can confirm once you return it, make sure you tell them you want to completely cancel the service and it will all be fine.

I've been trying to order the Evo with a discount from the website StudentRate but the Evo is sold out online on the Sprint site. So I finally called StudentRate and asked what else I could do to get the 15% discount off my Sprint bill. They gave me this amazon link.. AMAZON DEAL .. and said I could order the Evo from Amazon, then tell them my order # and I would get the % off my bill.

I haven't ordered yet but it sounds like a good deal. Is ordering on Amazon the same process as ordering from the Sprint site?

So you order the phone from Amazon using this link then what? Do you just like email them your info to prove you bought it with the link and they apply the discount?

I've never order a phone from Amazon but I've ordered other things. It's a pretty simple process after you set up an Amazon Acct.

As far as this deal goes it's sounds real good. I just checked out the Amazon link, the Evos are cheaper on Amazon than the Sprint site so I'd say go for it. If I were to order from that link today do you know who I give my order # to, to ensure I receive the 23% discount?


It says on the deal that you must use the link provided and then email support@studentrate.com your order #.

cool. do you know if i can do an upgrade through amazon being a sero premium? do they just have to make sure that i appear eligible for an upgrade?

Good question. I'm certain the sero premium is some kind of employee plan, if that is the case then I don't think so. I think Sprint Corporate could only do that. But don't quote me on this.

I got my GF an Evo when we ported her number from T-Mo on Memorial Day for 50 bucks. It wasnt a sale but after talking to the regional manager he said he'd do 50 because they didn't have any Epics for free in stock. Her getting the Evo was better than the Epic even if it cost 50 bucks.

Got mine mint condition off ebay (off contract as well) for $250.

If you dont mind used, they go for like $250-300 on Craigslist/ebay all day, which is close to what yiou'll pay new + 2 years contract as well.

yeah i bought mine on craigslist used with 1 lil blemish on the bottom left corner... cant hardly tell. but i can cuz i look at it alot lol but i paid 300 used so 250 i feel is a fair price as long as your not getting scammed...
