Probably because its not out on display yet. Meanwhile, sprint is getting slammed (people can't activate their evo 's right now due to high demand.

yeah, that EVO is f'n impressive.

I read somewhere that the N1 was faster but I don't think that's true (at least not on stock Android 2.1 Eclair) The (stock) EVO just flies.

@ tomato: I saw my friends HTC Evo..the screen is insanely BIG!!! Very light. Only complaint from him is...battery life and the mandatory 4G connection fee. So w/ my discount the monthly price would come around to...$66 roughly, not bad.

Now lets see if they can support asian characters on it...once i see korean or mandarin characters...japanese will soon become a possiblity on it. Good find, theres hope for me. Thank you.

ATT just put a cap on new users for data plan..2 gigs i believe..so iPhone is out for me. Screw them...

so I called the Sprint store. Can I get an EVO?

"would you like one on Wednesday?"

um, why yes, I would....

"oh, you have an existing account, you'll be paying full price of $500-ish... "

wtf, nice job rewarding your super loyal existing customers, SPRINT...

It's either one or two years for the full discount for existing customers, you're probably not eligible if you bought a phone within the last year. It's the same with every other carrier in the US. Call up and say you're going to cancel, that might work?-

You are probably still under contract for the palm pre. Usually when carriers give you a phone at a discount, that your phone for the next 2 years, unless you go out of pocket and pay for the new phone full price.

Same thing if you have a specific carrier plan you want to keep.

For ex., I'm with T-Mobile right now, out of contract, and I have an old plan. In order for me to get a new smart phone and still keep my old plan (the current plans are a more expensive), I have to go out-of-pocket and pay for the phone full price. Otherwise, if I want to benefit from the discount on the phone, I have to accept a new plan (and go back on a 2-year contract).

I don't think it's unique to these 2 carriers. I believe VZW does the same thing, and I'm pretty sure AT&T is even worse (but let's not even go there ).

Kioshi is right. Just wait for a sale in the fall when all the "new and improved"devices come out (usually major phones come out around father's day, and again in the fall, close to the holidays). That's because there are 2 major phone conventions during the year where they announce the new phones. So the existing phones will go on sale eventually.

I remember getting all P/O at T-Mo when they were having deals for "new customers" and I'm thinking what about me, where is my deal for being a loyal customer, uh? Comcast is the same way. I think that's just the way these companies do business.

Supply and demand.

The EVO is completely sold out across the country.

Garm, wait till they have a promotion going for the phone for new and current users. Verizon had this smartphone deal going when the Moto Droid first came out. I hope Sprint/Verizon also do the same for its customers...i have about another year left till i get only a price reduction on my next phone~~
