Less than a week away from the "rumored" release date. I wonder if it will happen this time...or what the excuse will be if not!

I'm torn as to when I think the Evo might be available. On one hand its a great sign that its been in stock and available online for both sprint and best buy for some time now, thats a great sign. We are also getting a lot of people claiming release dates at the end of the month that coincide with the timing sprint was eluding to last month.
On the other hand, if you look at all the people who are claiming specific dates, they are all new account names with less than 10 posts and then they seem to vanish (could be legit, but could also be people pulling our chain). I also asked my sponsor and he asked one of the VPs after a meeting when he thought it would be available... The VP talked about the letter last month stating that it could be out by the end of October, but added "he wouldnt be surprised if it got pushed back even further". This was about 2 weeks ago so his view could have changed by now.
Who to believe?

You made me log back in haha. No im not just pulling your chain; what would I get out of that. For specific reasons, I can't say too much. But the 25th is the current launch date. However there was a meeting on monday to push it to further in the week. But as it stands now, it is the 25th. I can't reveal why for obvious reasons. Believe what you will, I just saw a massive thread, figured I'd try to answer everyone's question.
Im not here pulling anyones chain either. I'm patiently waiting for 2 evos myself.
My sprint SWAC rep was told the 27th at some big meeting he was at last weekend.
However, take it with a grain of salt i guess.
What does an EVO cost through SWAC? and epic if the rumored information is available.

Again, Sprint is due to report quarterly earning to Wall Street on Wednesday, October 27, at 8:00 a.m ET. Sprint's next quarterly employee meeting (QEM) is scheduled for Thursday, October 28. QEM is almost always led by Dan Hesse and involves just about every employee at the company. (The auditorium only holds a couple hundred people but those who cannot attend in person typically tune in via webcast.)
My hope is that Sprint has good news for shareholders on Wednesday buoyed by good news for employees (and SWAC!) on Thursday.
From the outside looking in, I agree that this would be an excellent opportunity to open the device to the employee/SWAC masses. Better if they can open up the EVO and the EPIC.
Can anyone tell me what happens if your sponsor leaves sprint? I have been waiting for the Evo and now that its almost available I have found out my friend is leaving sprint in the next few months. Once he leaves do I have to sign a 2yr contract? If I don't sign a contract is there an ETF?

He can call employee care and have your account notated so you can port out or have your plan changed, also there is a website where he can go and complete a separation form were he can request to have your account changed to your name as well as changed to either a SERO Premium or Everything Plus account. I just did this we a few friends and relatives and it took about 5 days for all accounts to get changed to SERO Premium accounts. When it comes to the contract and ETF I am not sure but as far as I remember there isn't one till you upgrade your device --- I could be wrong but I don't think so
Thanks for the response. So if I am currently not on SWAC but will be hopefully next week would the purchase of the EVO qualify a the upgrade you mention, possibly locking me in with an ETF? I would prefer going the SERO premium route but just want to know my options. Thanks
