[Official] Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE Pre-release thread - Sprint official launch is Saturday, June 2

[EarlyMon]

I bet $100.00 of EarlyMons an 100 of Critics money we will not have te tracking number in 5 minutes.

LoL - real bets are made in quatloos.

I'll bet 400!

"Failed launch."

Can cut the tension with a knife!

LoL!

I don't laugh at anyone's pain, just a point of levity - launches have a sort of rhythm to them.

Sprint knows about the weekend holiday and even more, knows that they have to cope with overlay on the upcoming SGS3 launch, regardless of carrier or country.

In all of the ways that Sprint is really too dumb to get the basics of our demands, it's the same Sprint that gave us a One X with an aluminum body, bigger battery and an sd card slot - in the face of HTC insisting that they would no longer do model variations.

That second part doesn

EM, is this the rhythm your talking about ?

Johnny Cash-Get Rhythm - YouTube

Sprint, UPS, and Brick&Mortar stores, all work in a "rhythm" The song just needs to play out until LTEVO ships

LTEVO+Weekend NBA playoff games, sounding good to me =Win&Win

I pre-ordered through BB and keeping my fingers crossed for this weekend.

 

[crow11ad]

Still no tracking.

 

[WifiMaxed]

Thank goodness every thing is chill over here XDA mod just closed down a 430 page thread on LTEVO pre-launch, cuz the train went off tracks. AC thread is hanging by string in the "who's first tracking order thread"
Man, going to get some good sleep knowing, the news was already covered here LOL.

Mods have been spot on and members top notch. IMHO hanging with you cool cats here has made the LTEVO saga enjoyable.

That being said, only thing could find is this. People who did get tracking numbers (Maybe 3) all the UPS mychoice shows there pkg wt. as 3lbs(weird) but that was consistent among those claiming to receive a tracking number . Also, so far all were schedule for May, 24th.

 

[rkkeller]

Still nothing here. :< I know its going to ship as my status says I should receive it around the 24th but if they are shipping 2 day which seems to be what some are showing, that means anyone that does not already have a tracking number will not receive theirs until Friday???????

 

[excav8ter]

Here's hoping that BB will have them available for pick up on Friday. I would really like to have it over the weekend.

Also, to echo what wifimaxed said, this site is really cool. All the members as well as the mods seem to be very level headed here. Bashing fellow members is something I can't stand to see, on any site. Although I kind show up randomly with questions, I always find some good advice and reading here.

Now..... I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY LTEVO!!!!

IMHO, I think Sprint does have LTEVO's to ship. I think Sprint has nailed down 5/24 as reported. I think the "There about part" is Sprint trying to limit the torches and pitch fork clan storming the castle "IF" Sprint is a couple days late Now the 2 day air thing gets LTEVO to the door step of peoples homes on 5/24 and saves Sprint some money If were talking hundreds of thousands of LTEVO's (made up #) thats a lot of savings for Sprint. Sprint ATM isn't exactly flushed with cash right now Conclusion, 2day air now saves Sprint a few bucks but still arrives 5/24 Tracking#'s will be sent out later and LTEVO gets over nighted and still arrive on 5/24 Brick and Mortar (BB&RS) Being I pre-ordered via BB. I'll be tickled if It's this weekend. Price we pay to get that $50 gc. or whatever bargain route "We" choosed Good thing LTEVO is days away

ISN tweeted this morning that the warehouse guy said some have shipped already.

That would fall in line with tracking orders being reported. I would like to know if shipped sameday/overnight/2day? If it's 2day and it shipped last night. Then old news, because it still means 5/24. Still good news though, because LTEVO's are starting move.

When Sprint sent my replacement 3vo I didn't get a tracking number under the phone was on the truck headed to my house. Prior to that it was showing backordered. This should shed some light on the shipping process for Sprint.

this has been my experience with tracking #s in general. well on it's way before i find out about it.

It would not surprise me if they sent out phones to big box stores first just so they can get everything set up...then they send out the phones to the pre order folks with box stores selling the following day. So some pre order folks through Sprint get it before "launch day" and some don't.

if i can walk into a store and get this phone before mine gets to my door, i'll be some pissed.

Personally, I'd be happy to have the phone in my hand, regardless. No reason to get all upset.

 

[Duffin]

I just got notification from UPS my choice that my phone is shipping! Scheduled delivery is tomorrow! They are definitely going out!

Oh man...please oh please let there me extras that go to the stores so I can get one this week!

It's difficult to tell sarcasm and joking in text

 

[novox77]

Now that the phones are shipping out for sure, I figured I'd share another "launch" video.

This one is awesome if you have a good sound system. Crank it up Marty McFly style (unless you have neighbors within a mile radius of you) and enjoy.

oh, it wasn't sarcasm, just an exaggeration. i've got real things going on that i should be pissed about.

if i go into bb tomorrow and see people who know nothing about this phone walking out the store with it, while i wait until tuesday (didn't get delivered fri due to ______, no sat or sun delivery, mon is a holiday)...yeah, i'll be upset.

 

[crow11ad]

I tried to do ups my choice and because it is going to my work, it will not let go through all the steps.

 

[yannerd]

No email for me...BUT.....using my account number as the reference number a shipping label was created 5/23 (today) and shipping 2nd day air....so it looks like Friday for me
