preordering thoughts

---

so there are now a few places to preorder this phone:

Best Buy: $150 for a mint evo
Sprint: Taking orders on 21st for premier members (might net you an extra day or two with the phone)
Radio Shack: $75 smartphone buyback good for multiple smartphones.
Target: $150 for the evo
Wirefly: Sale price is $179.99 (ships out on the 24th though)

BUT. I'll be ordering from radio shack out of principle. Regardless of whether the leaked ads were intentionally done or not, they were the ones that are responsible for letting me know the release date.

also wondering.. what is the best place to preorder for a new customer?

not sure that it matters to much, as an X sprint rep I'll be buying from my buddy, they work hard and deserve the commission, not like your paying any extra for them to get paid.

Altho I do believe Best Buy may waive/not have new activation fee's and or upgrade fee's

as far as mail in rebates go, last time I checked sprint has moved to instant rebates, we'll see if that continues.

I ordered my EVO 3D from Wirefly. They have the phone for $179.99 (with free shipping, + $7.99 for 2-day) and with BoA add-it-up you get $50 cashback. So even paying extra for 2-day shipping, my cost will be $137.98 after cashback. They don't charge tax to CA, so that is a huge saving (in CA we get charged tax on full, unsubsidized phone cost). I can wait a few extra days to get it for the large savings and I ordered my original EVO from Wirefly and had no problems.

That's a great deal! I just checked, and they don't charge tax for me either. but be wary of this part:

By accepting this Instant Savings Discount, you agree to repay $200 of this discount ($300 for smartphones and netbooks) and authorize us to charge your credit card in repayment of this amount if, you signed up for a 2 year agreement and during the 181 days after your new equipment is activated, Sprint notifies us that the services you purchased have been suspended, disconnected, or deactivated, or if you return your purchase outside of the return and exchange provisions of our 30-day Satisfaction Guarantee.

If you're not sure ur going to be staying with sprint, you may get stuck with sprint's ETF and wirefly's $300.

It is the Bank of America Add-it-up program. If you have a BoA CC or bank account you register on the site for the program. Access the wirefly site via the BoA site and you get $50 cashback credited to you.

Good deal, but I left BoA a while back. Went for a smaller more personal bank, better customer service

I'll be pre ordering mine from Radioshack on Friday. Have any other Pre owners confirmed that it will qualify for the $75 credit? Thanks

I just pre-ordered from radioshack. I get $75 for my Mom's old pre towards my 3D and I get $10 coupon I can use towards my 3D for sharing my email address. BTW I am buying phone outright.
