I pre ordered mine today. Paid the $50 for deposit, got the gift card and was given a confirmation #. my upgrade doesn't start until the first of next month, but was told the phone would be held for 1 week so I could cone and get it at the upgrade price on the 1st. Kind of sucks ill have to wait a week after the release, but what can ya do
Your Sprint store gave you a confirmation number?
I pre-ordered at my Sprint store awhile back and they noted I purchased a gift card for an EVO 3D on my account. Also, I am pretty sure they keep the pre-order document stored online because the rep needed some help logging into the website my store uses for pre-orders.
Any word on any special deals for people who pre-order the 3vo? Last year RS was offering a $20 gift card to any one who pre-ordered their Evo 4G when they picked it up, and BB out did them by offering a free bluetooth headset for their Evo 4G pre-order customers.
Any word on whether something similar is going on this year for the 3vo??
So far, if you preorder from the shack you get a free black eyed peas mp3 download
So I just switched to Sprint from AT&T today and I was going to pick up a NS4G right now and switch it later. But the salesman said they were low on stock and offered me a crappy Sanyo as a replacement phone until the 24th. I hesitated and he offered to take $35 off the 3vo if I took it.

Hi guys, I am number 15 on the reservation list for the Evo 3D at my local Sprint store. It did not cost me anything (unlike the $50 gift card preorders that some of you guys are paying), they just took my name and number and promised to call me when the phones release to purchase it (they said they may get it on June 24th but didn't promise anything except that they will hold the phone for me for 24 hours to purchase it). In general they say they get like 10-20 phones for release day so I am hoping that Sprint orders a lot of phones so I am able to get it on release day at my local store.
does anyone know if Sprint is ordering a lot of phones for release day??
The fact that you didn't pay anything means that sprint doesn't have any obligations to you at all. They will call you as a courtesy but as far as them holding one for you may be slim at best unless you know someone at the store. If they receive 40 phones and there are 40 people outside waiting then you better believe that every last one of those customers will get a phone while you are sitting at home waiting for that call. If you want the phone then you shouldn't wait for a phone call from sprint. When the evo came out last year my sprint store had a list with about 100 people on it and I can assure you that most of those people didn't get a phone that day for the simple fact that they weren't at the store when the doors opened. As a matter of fact, my name was also on the list and I never received a call which didn't surprise me thats why I went up there first thing in the morning and was #7 in line and wasn't depending on some list.

actually you are wrong.
...I also didn't have to pay any money down. Will I be waiting for a call? No. I'll be at the store first thing that morning. ...I'm simply not concerned that because I didn't plunk down $50 on the phone that I won't get a phone. I'll be getting it. It would simply be bad business otherwise and they willl lose contracts, mine at the least, if they don't live up to their moral, if not legal, obligations.
Wow, someone coming over from AT&T.
Contract was up so you bolted.
Did you use the ETF credit Sprint is offering? It expires the 23rd but I am wondering if there is a possible way around it.

WELCOME TO SPRINT USERS EBOLAMONKEY
YOU GOT OFF THE AT&T CHAINS
Thanks Iori! I switched because I heard Sprint/Verizon service is awesome around Boston, and AT&T isn't so good. But in actuality I just wanted the 3vo
