HTC EVO Shift 4G is priced affordably at $69.99 through RadioShack

Are you still steaming from the seams knowing that the HTC EVO 4G is priced at $149.99 with a contract through Sprint? And that you can spend just $50 more to place yourself within striking range to pick up the bigger and badder Samsung Epic 4G?

Well, RadioShack seems to be coming to the rescue because they’re fittingly lowering the price of the HTC EVO Shift 4G to the reasonable 2-year contract price of $69.99 – but it’s only valid for new customers. If you’re an existing customer looking to renew your contract, you’ll still need to pay $149.99 to get the smartphone.

Regardless, at under $70, the new price point is much more tolerable since the device cuts out any video chat potential due to its omission of a front-facing camera – especially for a 4G enabled device. And finally, RadioShack of course is throwing in free standard shipping via FedEx, however, upgrading customers will have to pay $9.99 for it.
