[Official] Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE Pre-release thread - Sprint official launch is Saturday, June 2

[UNSCleric]

I'm also wondering about Best Buy. I even got a thing in the mail from them talking all about the new Evo a week or two ago.

I called my Best Buy this afternoon and they were too busy to come to the phone so I called a different one and they said preorders will be tomorrow. But now I have a friend who busted there screen on there phone and wants to by my phone on Friday. I am so hoping this comes out on the 18th but if it's June I'll just be without and use my old Lotus. I have my transformer prime so I won't miss out on any of my games. LOL! I better get to bed so I can get to Best Buy at least before 11 or 12.

I just laid down in bed as well and am hoping to be there about the same time. I'm going to probably get up around 9 or 10 and call them when they open at 10am and see what they say.

So what's up with the video dropping fps will that be fixed with a update or is it hardware.

You can preorder this beast on Wirefly for $149.99 right now. That price is for both new lines and extensions. Ships May 18th.

Well since I never used wirefly I think I will stick with Sprint. If I get it earlier than bonus.

 

[shiner-bock-beer]

Fairly painless process. I'm porting my work number over and adding a line to qualify for it. So, I own the phone, we'll see how convoluted and miserable the porting process makes the situation.

I had a confirmation email at 6:01PST.

Pre-order placed, device already payed for just waiting for it to show up on my door step now.

 

[crow11ad]

Well I just pre ordered the Htc Evo 4g lte from Sprint and on my confirmation page it says shipping in 2-5 days. Woohoo.

Ugg...so it's official $549 for full retail. Hate paying full retail.

Happy for you man,

Seems that I am not able to get an upgrade until June 1, was told they will not do an early upgrade, but that the phone comes out on May18.

Call and ask for retentions.

Woot. 8:06 CST here.

 

[exclamation_mark]

6:09 PST here, would have been earlier but I recently changed my e-mail address and didn't realize I had to "verify" it, so I lost a couple minutes there but I think I'll be all right, lol.

Saw that, looks like more confirmation of May 18th release.

Just jumped on the Sprint pre-release wagon. This is my first time as I've normally done the BestBuy thing; we shall see how this goes.

That's if they were in stock and ready to go right now (a standard estimate for ordering stuff online from Sprint).

 

[BPHusker]

I will run into the Best Buy by my work over lunch and see what they say. I know for the OG Evo, they started taking preorders the same day that Sprint did.

 

[hilker09]

Yep, I got the same message. Hope the May 18th release date is solid.

Ok they updated it. Shipping starts May 15th.

 

[crow11ad]

Jus go sprint.com/myorder and put in your order number.

Yea I saw mine just changed from a back order message to May 15th ship date as well I sure hope that it stays that way.

 

[Rose4uKy]

I am headed to Best Buy now to preorder me and my friends. I called there taking pre orders and I also called Sprint twice and was told the phone ships from them on the 16th and the 18th is the official release date.

Does it say that somewhere?

I pre-ordered from sprint's website and initially my order status said the item was back ordered. Checked it again about an our later and this is my new Order status:

Thanks for pre-ordering. A shiny new HTC EVO 4G LTE is waiting for you in our warehouse. Shipping starts May 15th and we will send you an email the second it ships. Delivery should occur within 1 to 3 business days thereafter. You may continue to track the status of your order on this web page. If you have questions, check out sprint.com/preorder for more info.

So unless that is just a place marker it seems pretty legit

I'll be doing pre order from the Radio Shack about two minutes from my house. For big phones they always open up shop at 6 AM....so hopefully I'll be one of the first. Also will take a few shots with my DSLR for everyone on here. So should have some images and video up by like 8 AM that morning.
