dead

I'm going to pricematch to the one I just bought at RS for $130.

Dang. I was hoping they'd have the HTC ONE V on sale for $50 again. I missed it in December.

I've read that the EVO 4G initially had a lot of issues with the Radio Interference error.

Its been fixed with a software update, if this price is true, BUY IT.

 

[wirednuts]

wow... that is smokin hot. $100 for a 4g dual core phone? that is crazy. must... resist!...

 

[WiseUp216]

I think I've squeezed enough life out of my Optimus V. I'll have to grab this.

Thanks, OP.

 

[Bman123]

I really don't need this phone but I'm gonna buy it and gift it to someone, $100 for a brand new 4.3inch dual core phone is a damn good deal, I remember paying more then this for a optimus V when it came out

 

[SunRey]

Thank You!

 

[wirednuts]

well, if i can find some on the 15th when i get my next check i might buy 3 of them. theyre just not going to go much lower then this, for years.

I picked one up too for the $129.99 sale as well. Geeze, maybe the Shack will lower it to $79.99 next month? :hmm:

 

[thedarkwolf]

Damn I don't even use a data plan but I have an old optimus V I use as a MP3 player/mini tablet and may have to ditch it for one of these. The optimus is starting to have charging issues anyway.

 

[Bman123]

Ill be at the store when it opens the day this deal goes live to get one.

 

[fredlove]

I have heart before. I am waiting for a long time. Thanks.

If you are thinking of the original EVO 4g, then this is not the same phone. The evo V 4G for virgin mobile is a rebadged EVO 3D.

 

[dodger2020]

I'd consider this just to use as a 3D camera/viewer

 

[Bman123]

Its a steal for the price if they don't limit how many I can buy I'm going to get 3 of them

 

[WiseUp216]

I ended up grabbing this for $129 today even with the sale coming next week.

Out of all the Radio Shacks within 25 miles, only one showed 'In Stock' online. They said I got the last one they had. I figured I would jump on it. Still a great price compared to any other store or even online.

Seems like a nice phone but I'm letting it charge before I dig into it. It is a huge upgrade over the Optimus V.

 

[BoberFett]

Might be time to upgrade again from the Optimus Elite.

 

[wirednuts]

i have a sensation, so i dont think i would bother "upgrading" to an evo 4g, even if i could get it on tmobile. but as a house phone, for skye and tv remote, it would be killer. im definitely going to try to get one... if i get more ill root and rom them so i can resell for a premium price.

sorry dont know much about smartphones....how does this compare to the latest smartphones like GSIII or droid dna?

edit: looks like horrible battery life.

Bought this for my wife last year. Battery life is pretty bad with 4G enabled, but decent if you disable it. She doesn't use a lot of data, and we found 3G acceptable, so I just disabled the 4G. If you specifically want 4G, then none of the first generation 4G phones are very good with battery life.

only 4 gigs of storage? with android 4 that's not exactly great. i'm running low on gingerbread on my epic (granted it has damn near no user accessible flash ram).

Worth a shot!

Does it have to be used with Virgin mobile only? Or is it simply a label on the phone?

only sprint offers wimax phone service so even if a verizon related mvno would accept it, you're not going to get wimax. i doubt boost or sprint would activate it.
