Seems like it's been over a month now. They've sold off all the EVO Vs...and any remaining stock would be refurb...likely used as replacements. That being said, many here are having trouble getting an EVO V as a replacement. VM oftentimes will push another phone as a replacement.

Looks like it's being replaced by the galaxy s3 as the new flagship phone.

They have to do something about all those Galaxy S2s though. At $279, I hate to think what they'll ask for a Galaxy S3. Probably inline with an iPhone?
I'd like to see the S2 drop to $150 (like they did with the EVO V) and then bring in the S3 for like $300...but that's just a dream

Yep, discontinued. RadioShack's website is teasing with a sick-low $129 price, but truth is they have no Evos available anywhere in the chain. I used the Zip Code product search with 50-mile radius, tried about 20 zips, and nothing.
Only problem I see with the Evo is it's stuck with WiMAX instead of the chosen-technology LTE.

That's not a problem at all if your city is also stuck with WiMAX instead of the chosen lte.

i actually called & talked too VM about this because i was gonna pricematch the radioshacks HTC Evo V @ my local best buy When i called bestbuy too see if they had the phone in stock they said VM isnt selling the phone anymore , so i was shocked i called up VM & they said yes where still selling the phone its one of the Few Dual Core Phones they have they said Bestbuy mustve meant that they where out of Stock Because VM was out of Stock on there page , So to Answer The Question Yes VM still sells The Htc Evo V there just out of Stock & idk what Best Buys Issue is maybe they Dont Want Too Sell The HTC Evo V they have alot of other Crap VM Phones in there stores but never The HTC Evo V not Even The Htc One V in there stores atleast not in my area so iam guessing its Bestbuy just Dont like HTC
also BB represenitive told me that they no longer do price matching on cell phones
but i read the entire website Pricematch rules & you can pricematch Prepaid phones Just not Contract Phones so Recalled them & they said yes we will pricematch so they will Pricematch the phones as long as prepaid not contracted

I spent the last two months trying to find an EVO V at any dealer. There have not been any at VM, Best Buy or Radio Shack in that time frame!!! At least in the Dallas area. I had automatic notification set up at every place that stocked the EVO and had that feature available. No one ever had one....
The consensus is that they are at EOL and only available from resellers at a high price.

Depends on how likely you are to get the upgrade bug anytime soon. I still occasionally play around with my Optimus V and an old Samsung Moment. Every time I do, I appreciate my phone a little more temporarily.
Especially since "upgrading" seems to mean buying a phone that won't fit in my hand and that won't have a dedicated search button. I bought my phone at release for $299, so have a hard time justifying spending that again any time soon. Not to mention the S3, S4, and HTC One are too big for me. Even the EVO is pushing the size limits for me.
To each his or her own though. You have to decide if it is better to spend about $99(the price you found) to $175 ( what I've seen) on eBay for the EVO or put it towards a newer ( and probably more expensive) phone. As a general rule I try to buy a phone that is less than a year old if for pre-pay, or at most 2 months old on contract. Refresh cycles are getting in to the 9-10 month range, and the EVO V is basically a 2 year old phone.
Also consider Android 4.3 will probably be released this Summer, and with it will come even more updates to Google apps we can't use.
