Happy New Year everyone! This is our first post of 2011, and for those of you who are really interested in the HTC EVO Shift 4G, this one is for you. The latest 4G slider from Sprint now has a pre-order page on Amazon.com, and is currently priced at $199.99 with a new 2-year contract.
Now, you may recall a couple stories we featured last month where the price seemed pretty firmly set at $149.99. The first was an internal Best Buy document, although the authenticity of the photo was somewhat in question. However, the second instance of this price came from a RadioShack ad showing the same $149.99 price.
I am not entirely sure what the cause of this price difference is, but I find it hard to believe that a $50 price difference between retailers will last. Furthermore, when you actually try and continue through to pre-order from Amazon Wireless you are greeted with a lovely 404 page, so perhaps we’ll see a change in price before customers are actually able to buy the phone. Stay tuned.
