So today I decided to go to my local Sprint store to reserve the E4GT. When I get there, the employees were familiar with the phone and the release date of the 16th. However there was nothing in place to accept reservations.
After some phone calls by an employee to another person, I was told that someone elsewhere was setting up their computers so reservations could be accepted. After about 20 minutes of waiting, I was able to place the $50 on each phone deposit and reserve 2 phones.
After it was all said and done I thought this deposit guaranteed me 2 phones. I was told they would be available for me on release day but if I didn't pick em up THAT day I could lose them to a paying walk-in customer.
This doesn't sound like a big deal but I can't get the phones until the 17th. So it will be pretty lame if I put a deposit down and have to wait for a 2nd shipment post launch.
It seems like Samsung and Sprint didn't do a very good job working together to get this reservation process very smooth
