The Evo is one sexy beast of a phone with very high profile parts, though I WOULD love to have one in my grubby little hands, Sprint is backed up with orders. I want to know from any others that have been put on backorder, what did Sprint give you as a eta? Mine was two to three weeks and this will be the start of week two.

They are out there call around to different Radio Shack stores. They get them in weekly. Also get on a list if they are not in stock right now in a weeks time you will have it. You can also try ordering daily off of the Sprint web page they come and go. I made a call in Thursday for a replacement by Friday at 3pm I had 2 version #3 handsets waiting for me to exchange. They are out there.

I was told 2-3 weeks as well, so it should be in sometime in the next week or so.

Although I am very anxious to retire my iPhone, I am kind of glad that I didn't jump in on day one. By the time I get my EVO, HTC will have had about a month to fix or update anything that from the V1.0 batch.

I dont know about that....here in bklyn I was able to pick one up at my local Sprint store yesterday. They are around guys, you just got to call up various company Stores.

I wish it was that easy... in the Tampa Bay area I have called ALL of the Sprint (Corp) stores, RadioCrap, Sam's, and BestBuy (Walmart isn't carrything the EVO here) and they ALL have waiting lists from 4 at Sam's (but they won't do the S/P 1 year Upgrade) to more than 150 at several of the Tampa Sprint stores. I'm #30 at a Sprint store in Bradenton and will be surprised if I have an EVO to watch the Daytona race on the 4th!! :(
