So this is the deal guys...today i try to go to best buy and radio shack and come to find out that i am not eligible for the evo until September and my wife phone until July next year i wanted to get two evos... so on april 19the sprint called me that they woud take 70 dollars off for each line if i agree to to be another 2 years with them and i was like ok sounds good i told rep that if i was going to have any problem getting the evo when it comes out soooo now i come to find out that i can not get the evo on release date .....sooo what do ytou guys suggest i do ..........oh yeah by the way i have to htc pro 2's

Aget somebody to get a new 2 year agreement and give them my htc pro 2 free and i get the evo

Bbuy it at full retail price ...... which i think im not cause its too epensive

CWait until retail price comes down

D just discontinue service with sprint

B or C are your best bets. If you sell the 2 TP2's you should offset quite a bit of the cost.

D - I don't really understand how this is going to help you get EVO's... It seems to be the exact opposite.

sell your tp2's, cancel your contract, pay the etf and buy the phones on a new contract. You could probably get $200.00-250.00+ each TP2 on ebay. Pay the ~50.00 to cancel your contract, ~150.00 for your wife's.

So:

+ 400.00 TP2 sale
- 200.00 cancellation fees
- 400.00 new EVO 4G phones
- 72.00 activation fees
= $272.00 total to get 2 new Evo's.

Sounds like a good deal to me.

Buy at full price now, come september use your upgrade to get another one and sell it on eBay.

Buy one Evo at full price. ($450)
Sell the TP2 on ebay (around $250)
Net outlay= $200 (same as you would pay to upgrade)
September, upgrade the other line to Evo or the next "latest-greatest"

This makes perfect sense compared to the others.

Bingo. Not to mention that I don't think Sprint lets you cancel your service, and then reactivate it immediately. Isn't there a waiting period?

60 Days I believe.

Yeah I am doing the same for my Hero. I am going to have them replace it for a refurb because A. the battery cover does not stay on and B. there is dust under the screen.

Then I hope to sell my Hero on ebay for ~$230
Pay Full out for the phone $449
So that comes down to ~220

Not bad for getting a super phone basically on an off contract device. Does anyone know if I will get charged for another activation fee if I am activating a new phone on a contract?
