Sprint account rep wanted $199 which is dumb because even an individual could go to Best Buy and get a free bluetooth headset and still only pay $199. Why the heck should I pay more for less. (not to mention the free best buy gift cards)
So i went to Best Buy and sprint locks out corporate accounts from Best Buy :mad:
I went there and they had 13 Evo's in stock but the program they give best buy makes all my lines ineligible even though the best buy guy was on the phone with my sprint rep who could see they were eligible.

So I leave there thinking all is lost and my Sprint Rep is of course all about still selling me one for $199 which is insulting enough since I asked for a demo phone for a couple months prior to launch and she didn't get me one of those at the last minute.
Quick call to the Sprint Customer Service number asking why my Account was locked out from being able to work at best buy and she offer's to sell me two EVO's for $125 a piece.
Thanks random Sprint customer service lady! You're the best.

FYI, the BT headset is crap and I believe it only sells for $15ish online. You don't get a "free" gift card; you put down $50 to pre-order, and they give you back that $50 via a best buy gift card.

The only plus you get ordering from Best Buy is that you don't have to do the MIR.
