Because the release of the new HTC Evo 4G is an important moment of this month, it seems Walmart joined BestBuy and Radio Shack and offers the phone with $199.99. This price is available only with a two-year deal upfront. Why wouldn't we consider this a very good deal, considering the smartphone is just few days before the actual release?

There is not going to be any mail-in rebate, so the buyers will not have to spend that hundred dollars and to wait receiving them back after weeks or worse, months. This is the price, you pay it, you sign the contract, the phone is yours and that's that. It's as simple as saying "Hello", no more messy mail-in rebates.

HTC Evo 4G will be released on Friday, 4th of June, and may cost around $450 off-contract. There's not an official price anyway, because we heard about an actual possible $600 for the device without any contract and we think this is difficult to swallow for anyone. Would you be prepared to pay this amount for purchasing the smartphone?
