I've been on here checking out what everyone else has to say about EL TEvo; so far (mostly) so good. I am, however, waiting for the white version to come out. Was wondering if anyone else is in the same boat.
A white one would look way better, in my opinion, but there's no way I'm waiting for one.
The white Evo 4G LTE was released two weeks ago and for sale in Sprint stores and sprint.com. What I'm wondering, is if we will see the white Evo in any brick and mortar stores like Best Buy, RadioShack, and the like.
The reason I've been waiting for it to pop up is you can easily get a black Evo 4G LTE for $150 at one of these stores, but not at Sprint. They charge $200. I think the white one looks fantastic but not at a $50 premium just because they aren't releasing them to other stores.
Does anyone have any idea if it will likely be available in other stores in white coming up? Or do we think this is going to be a Sprint store and website exclusive?
Another thing to keep in mind as well is if buying at a best buy store, the insurance best buy offers is better than sprint's total equipment
protection in my opinion. I bought my phone from sprint and have the TEP. My coworker and I went to best buy to buy his LTEvo and with best buy's insurance, for 10 bucks a month (compared to sprint's TEP @ $11 a month) and ANYTHING happens to your phone they will replace it with no deductible. Atleast thats how we understood it. I could be wrong. With sprint's TEP if you drop the phone and crack the screen or get water on it then there is a $150 deductible. Maybe someone who is familiar with best buy's insurance can chime in and comfirm
I've seen people selling white conversion kits to turn your black EVO into a white one.
Theres also websites that sell replacement batteries and other parts.

(all out of stock, but maybe something to keep in mind)
Didn't think I'd dig the look of the white one, but it is pretty nice. Kind of want to oops my phone and get one (Have sprint insurance for at least the next few months)
On a side note: Anyone experience the back getting marked up a bit too easily? I had taken mine out of the case at a lunch for a short time. Looks like the bottom part had worn a bit in places, nothing horrible but a little odd since the back seems tough. Don't think it was from the otterbox case.
