I'm honestly very confused how there was this much continual confusion surrounding the pricing of the EVO.
maybe for a sprint customer this sounds confusing....
whether you upgrade your phone or not, Sprint charges the EVO for 449.99
449.99 - 150(2yr. upgrade) = 299.99 - 100 rebate = 199.99
449.99 - 75(1 yr. upgrade) = 374.99 - 100 rebate = 274.99
449.99 - no upgrade = 449.99 - 100 rebate = 349.99
the way i see it, 199.99 seems like false advertising to me unless the 449.99 doesn't apply to upgrading Sprint customers where instead they charge the phone for 299.99 and the 100 mail in rebate therefore making it 199.99
like i said in the beginning i initially went in thinking i could buy the phone for 299.99, use my two year upgrade for 150 and buy the phone for 149.99 then send in the rebate and the total will end up being 49.99
i guess there's no advantage being a loyal sprint customer lol. thats ok tho' that would be pretty awesome i guess
