http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2010/06/02/walmart-feeling-the-evo-4g-hype-to-sell-the-superphone-for-199-sans-mail-in-rebate/
another source for those that weren't able to pre-order. good luck!!

I hate seeing people with there pants around there knees. Lol, it's funny how people think it's cool/ fashionable. Especially when you are in prison it means you can be a female for a guy lol

there's a friend of the family who's a cop and i asked him about it. he said he loves it when people breaking the law have saggy pants. he doesn't have to chase them far

In the other side, would be nice if the girls use saggy pants but without the boxers uh?

i dunno, i could see some unfortunate outcomes with that plan

I guess there is a positive to every negative.
But i still think its nasty to see that.
This is why i couldn't work in a store lol. Someone came up to me with his pants like that i would laugh and ask if he was serious or was it a prank show. Then get fired for it

Guys, I'm bummed by this and the articles on Android Central and Android Phone.
I've called 4 Super Centers now and NO ONE knows anything about this phone.
Further more they ALL have stated that they do NOT carry sprint ANYTHING in their stores?
Going to check more info somehwere.
So Chicago 'burbs....ur out of luck !

You are going to have a difficult time finding a store that sells Sprint service/phones. Most stores do not carry anything Sprint at all, so you've just got to keep trying to call different stores to find one that does.

hehe camping outside the store, have fun with that one.
Where you guys at?

suburbs north of atlanta

California. It is sold out everywhere around where I live.
I called this shack and they only got 3 extra on top of the pre orders so I gotta be first in line. Everywhere else got no extras
Sprint has it but they open at 8 and I gotta work at 7.
The shack is opening at 6 so I got time.
Man I have never waited outside like this before it sucks.

Are there a lot of people waiting outside as well or is it pretty much well known that just 3 extras are available?

If i remember the answer is in there.

just woke up.
5am here, sprint opens @ 8am.
we shall see the turn up of fellow androiders.
sadly its a new store, and not a big city. so i assume there wont be many. but that is also a good thing. considering i may get mine today.

3:50 in california about to head to the shack managed to get it unofficially preordered yesterday so excited

i got mine and now back at the hizzle. i didn't preorder so i wanted to be there extra early and be first in line at the shack. nice phone man BIG though, jizzle

any san diegans gonna go early to wait?
i'm thinking about 7am at the shack.

Just went to a nearby Sprint store and saw about 5 people outside in a line (some in small tents). The nearby Radio Shack had no one outside.
Probably will wait a few hours and head back out, hopefully to Radio Shack.

tents lmao! thats intense... reminds me of the 360 and ps3 launch

[Q] epic avaailable tomorrow at the shack???

my friend just texted me that RS called him today to tell him the epic arrived at the store today and would be ready for p/u tomorrow! this dude is normally a jokester but he swears he's not lying THIS TIME! what do u guys think? is this possible???

Someone on androidforums said they got their call too and tried to get it today but the system wouldn't ring it up. Even if you wanted it super super bad, there's no way for it to be sold to you at this point.

Yeah, getting to hold it, toy with it, fill out all the forms and essentially have it set to go, but unable to ring up and actually do the transaction. It would be depressing. It's a shame too, cuz if they were somehow magically selling the phone tomorrow, I would gladly go to a radioshack and try to pick one up. Them selling it today or tomorrow would be the only way I am buying this phone in the next 2-3 weeks.

Not if you ask to see the phone, then run out of the store with it before they sell it to you. Then you get it early and free

I just called RS and they say I have to wait till 8/31. My case for the epic came in today. My wife is laughing at me because I'm playing with the case pretending I have my Epic. The Epic is almost half as thick as my FUZE and the epic sceen opening is almost as big as the FUZE. I got a carbon Fiber case to make the phone faster.

Just called my radioshack, and they said they didn't have the phone in stock. I think they are lying to me. XD
Either way, she told me I won't be able to pick it up till tuesday.

welp...so i guess my dilemma now is to determine if my bud is lying (again) or if RS is lying (to my bud) either way, it really dont matter as i STILL cant p/u MINE until tuesday!!!! thanks guys...i tend to believe u guys OVER my friend or RS!!!! ha!

whered u get ur carbon fiber case from? i want one!

You do know that if its real carbon fiber that your phone won't get a signal inside it right?Carbon fiber messes with radio signals.

Yeah that was me that went down and nearly walked out with 2 Epics. The phones are activated and in my name. The Radio Shack cash register just isn't able to let me purchase them until Tuesday. The cashiers tried. They were scanning every barcode on the box, trying to figure out which one would work for checkout.

No it's not real carbon fiber for $6.95 and free shipping. It's made out of plastic and has a rubberized feel so it won'tslip out of your hand. http://cgi.ebay.com/Carbon-Fiber-Ha...665056?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item51949cf420 I put hard cases on all my phones.

BE WARY OF CHEAP SNAP ON CASES OFF EBAY.
I've had many of these cases, and they are all made in china. Every since one I've ever used has not fit the phone properly, had gaps all around the edges of the 2 pieces, and in general where just cheap. :|

Lol. I remember back in 04 a recruiter came to my high school and was trinh to sign people up and baiting them with a free army of one video game.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

That army of one video game was the ****! Well, as far as learning how to shoot and maintain your rifle goes. LOL...I used to fail at shooting just so I could sit in a nice warm room playing video games while everyone else was freezing and laying in the mud.
When I joined...they offered me a backpack and a track suit. Both of which I never received.

Through in a free case for that iPhone and you got a deal! Ya know ill need reception to call for back up. I can't wait to have those touching moments with the front cam like they do in the commercials.

So yeah, they will give you a free phone, but they are going to charge you for all your clothes and gear. That stuff is way more expensive than a phone. Back in the day, the gear was all free.

When I was at Fort Lost in the Woods I didn't get jack crap. I had a good time granted the learning of US weapons and explosives, and night training, and MRE's, and well physical fitness. But not a damn phone cheap bastards. I guess before the Bush admin we got a half-million dollar life insurance policy upgrade. So I always have that....

When I was in basic they gave us a notebook and told us to "fire up out recruit laptops" when they wanted us to pull them out and study our general orders or whatever. I got screwed.

Anyways, giving your life away saving someone elses country will never be worth an iphone, evo, or a million dollars in my opinion. Too much worrying about what goes on in the world and not enough fixing our own country talked me out of a 50 thousand dollar sign on bonus for a 6 year enlistment. It just isnt worth dying over religious belief conflicts.
