....okay this thread is way off topic. Fail. My other forum is experiencing DB errors so I come here for reprieve...and I see facepalm after facepalm.
Just talked to "the man" it's going to be released sometime after May.
Thread hoovered.
What man?
Same thing Sprint said - summer - yes?

Heh. Which old movie is that from? The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer, I think.
Now THAT is an interesting point.
Lots of places like Radio Shack and others don't have live phones - they have mock-up bricks with stickers showing the home screen. Either that will change, or the first rep in those stores to get one is going get mighty popular mighty quick.
Well if the Nintendo 3DS is any indication, I think a lot of those stores will still have the "proptronic" version of the phones. I've been to 3 separate stores looking for a demo 3DS and no one seems to have it. All of these places have demo old DS models. Not sure what's going on there.
Well Sprint announced Samsung Nexus S hits stores May 8 with a $199 price tag. How much time they let that marinate in the limelight is anyones guess. looking at how much time between EVO and EPIC's announcement of availability might be something to look at.
I would think EVO3d wouldn't be available before June 8th so they can avoid people swapping out the Nexus S for the EVO3d. This assuming returns for phones, swapping for another is limited to 30 days. Or is this something that Sprint/Samsung don't really care about?
Here's more "logic" based speculation that can be thrown into the mix:
Sprint is the sponsor for the upcoming NASCAR All-Star Race

As some might recall, prior to the original EVO release, there were a bunch of ads about the original EVO at a NASCAR race, prior to its release.
Going beyond that, NASCAR had aired a 3D race last year (via DirecTV) and apparently they plan on having more races available for 3D viewing. The above-referenced event seems like a pretty good opportunity for that to happen, especially in conjunction with one of NASCAR's major sponsors in Sprint

Can you say "exclusive" 3D footage "behind the scenes" from the Sprint NASCAR All-Star race that will be available for viewing on the EVO 3D?
Now, again, this is all speculation. And I might as well throw it out there that if Sprint's marketing executives fail to take advantage of all these resources, then they get a FAIL in my book. I'm open to a job offer, if any execs feel that my ideas would benefit their growth as a company...LOL.
I vaguely remember some display at a NASCAR? event where the entire thing was wrapped in this giant EVO shell.
It could be mid to end of june, called sprint today, and asked, of course she gave me no info, but did tell me sprint is launching a 4g samsung device that will be high end, and it will come out in june before the evo 3d, which makes me think it could even be july, but very curious what the samsung device is, she said that was all the info she had
