I'm the 34th Pre-Order

I don't think they'd take 50 preorders and get 24 phones. The term "pre" means before, so to have you preorder, release date passes and have you wait for next shipment is a 'postorder'.

This is the way I would think it would be handled, but the 2 Best Buy Mobile asc. explained they never guaranteed "X" amount of phones on June 4th. Needless to say I've called around to Radio Shack and it looks like they have 2 extras and are able to hold one for me if I go in and put $50 down.

Whattaya guys think?? No brainer?

Why not, we had to put $50 down at Best Buy. You'd be screwed into a $50 GC at BB now though..I dont think that is refundable.

Same situation here. I was number 30 something on their list and they said they couldn't gurantee me one. They said they'd call on Thursday to let me know if they would have one for me. If I don't get a call I'll call them. Here's hoping.

Good news is they said they'd price match radio shack on the samsung moment I'm getting for my wife. Only $50 instead of $100.

do you think that there is a chance that you can get an evo at bestbuy the day of without a pre order?

At this point, probably not at Best Buy. They haven't stopped signing people up. You'd have better luck calling around to Radio Shack and Sam's Club to get the Pre-Order price. Or just get to a Sprint store early on Friday morning.
