Also $500, but from a Canadian I/O attendee. Today is draaaaaging.

If anyone is buying in NJ, come and see me. (please? lol)

9 am RS Orlando FL 32837

Anyone waiting in line at a Sprint store? Which one?

Since I'm assuming it's too late to preorder an EVO at BB or RS and still get it on release day, how many of you will be waiting in line at a Sprint store to get one?
What store will you be at and how early will you get there?
I'll be at the Sprint store in Tucson, AZ probably about 6AM or so, sound good?

I pre-ordered here in Dallas, TX and the RS store manager said they would be open at 6am and i could get my phones then. just FYI. good luck!!

I've got a couple of friends that are going to the local Sprint store at about 5am, unless I get a call from RS on Thursday. They told me that if they get any extras over the ones that have been pre-ordered, they would call me. I have an idea of the amount of Evo's the Sprint store is getting and I have a feeling that there's going to be a lot of people there early.

No need to go early to stand in line sprint stores are getting a lot of evos

don't listen to him! he's trying to deceive us!!

Going to my local Radio Shack at 3am to wait. They open at 6am and I hear they will only have a few non-preorder phones for each store. I figure 3am will get me in the front of the line. I'm in Brooklyn.

i dunno how practical it would be, but it would be fun to see a "waiting in line picture thread" and just have everyone post up pics of themselves, their gear, or their watches
just a thought. good luck everyone!

I am going to be at sprint store at 5 am. Lakeland Fl.

Be careful you don't get jumped. "BK ain't no joke". I always see stories about people getting jumped when they picked up their Nintendos, Playstations, etc.

It might not be to late to preorder depending on your locations. I'm in Birmingham, AL and I couldn't find a place to preorder but my fiancee is in Ames,IA and their Sprint store had one preoder spot left, and Best Buy wouldn't let her do it over the phone but she is one her way there now to try to secure our phones for friday.

lol, i don't know how many people are hot to trot to steal a traceable phone though
i just called my local sprint store. they're opening at 8am friday. i'm considering it. they're going to have 23 of these bad boys just on display. apparently there are going to be quite a few businesses
down there that are thinking about picking them up. like freaking H&R block is going to be there. lord.

I pre-ordered my from Best Buy in West LA over 3 weeks ago. They called me and set up an appointment on Friday to pick it up, which is I think is great... I hate lines... I do assigned seating for movies too. Anyway, they told me that if you don't have a pre-order you ain't getting a phone on Friday.

I live in Midwood Brooklyn which is mostly upper middle class, really no crime around here to speak of. But of course I will be watching my back. As they say, crime can happen anywhere.

I called every radio shack and Beast Buy in the city, everyone is completely sold out and have been for a week. I even got laughed at a few times for even asking such a "ridiculous question" as they put it. My only hope is to stand in line. A Sprint Store is not an option for me since I don't do rebates after getting burned so many times.
Seems Best Buy here wont even have units for sale on launch day, the radio shack near my house said they would have a few, whatever that means. So I have no choice but to camp out and hope for the best.

I was able to pre-order ours today from evpdiscount.com, she said they had only placed 400 preorders total for the evo and ours should ship friday. If you get a company discount..ie. chase, ups, credit union....order from evpdiscount.com, they give you a 125.00 dollar rebate. So 174.99 for the phone is a nice perk.
Funny, turned out our 1st pre-order was canceled since I never got back to them with payment info, I completely forgot to call them back. Oh well. They are preordered now.
Jeff

Spoke to my company rep and he'll have one shipped on Friday, receive it Saturday.

the best buy here in RENO, NV opens at 10am.. so im gonna be there at 10am..... LAFF.. Shoulda pre-ordered.

I'll be showing up at my local sprint store in New Bedford Mass at around 5:30-6. They open at 8. The manager told me today that they would be receiving Evos every day including Sunday for a little while. I'm not worried though don't think there's too many people in this area that will wait in line. He told me for the Pre there was a little line but only cuz it was by invitation. And worse comes to worse ill drive to Mexico if I have to to get one Friday,lol.

oh yea! i will be there bright n early either at radio shack or sprint store. probably at radio shack since its $200 there vs $300 at the sprint store... coming from an at&t tilt, i'm doing the 30 day gurantee to ensure i get service.

you guys r lucky, all these radio shacks and sprint stores where i live if full of lazy novice people. they dont even know half of the evo features yet alone any smartphone.
so with that being said. if my sprint store or radio shack even got 200 pre-orders they would still open at they normal hours 8am or 9am. even if sprint gave them a letter or email to open the stores at 6am for pre-orders only they wouldn't do it because they 2 lazy

RELEASE TOMORROW!!! Where are you getting yours from?

Sprint?
The Shack (Radioshack)?
Best Buy mobile?
I personally pre-ordered mine at Best Buy Mobile, but I don't know if I'm getting mine tomorrow or not because I have graduation

skip it the evo only comes out once. im also getting mine at best buy in Houston (Fairmont)

I pre-ordered mine for bestbuy so i'll be going there. There better honor the fact I'm number 11 on list so no excuses when I come through with my cash in hand.

Best Buy. 8AM. I am #2 on my Best Buy's reserve list. Plus no rebate is the best.
EDIT: Just thought about it, but it seems kinda cool that an Android device actually has a good amount of hype behind it. That alone will make it an iContender.

8:05am @ Best Buy.

im #11 too

RS 7am san antonio texas

1 @ 8am from Sprint / 1 @ 10:40am from BestBuy

Free from sprint muhaha

I just got the call from The Shack. They are opening at 6am but expect a rush from those who didn't preorder. I'll be there just before 7am to pick my pre-ordered EVO.

Best buy, just called them and am getting mine at 745am, hurray!

RadioShack in the Woodbridge Mall in NJ.
They don't open until 10am so i made my appointment for first thing when they open.

lady there said it was gonna be $250 for the upgrade. Nice.

Just called the best buy and picking up at 9:30 am surprised cuz I was number 25 on the lisar thought I was fin b one of the last ones....

Cheapest price for a EVO 4G with new 2 year contract?

Hey all-
I've been a long time iPhone user, finally ready to jump ship over to Android/EVO 4G. I'm also a cheapskate and looking for the best deal I can get; I will be switching from AT&T to a new 2 Yr. Sprint account.
I thought my best option would be to use Bing Cashback ($25.00) on Wirefly, bringing the cost from $189.99 to $164.99... anyone else have any other suggestions?
Thanks,
shadow-box

Best price? In case you hadn't heard, there is a shortage of these things. Wirefly is quoting 3 week delivery times. If you are in no rush, I guess it is a good deal.
Me? I would be calling BestBuy/Sprint/Radioshack every morning at every store to try to get one, now.

I had heard that Walmart was a good place to get Evos.
I tried calling 2 near Chicago while trying to help a friend. Both stores said they dont carry Sprint as a provider.

yea most have At&t tmobile and VZW

I should have mentioned I'm in no rush, I can wait another month at this point (I'm switching from a corporate plan to a personal plan when I leave my current job).
Seems like Wirefly is the best deal so far, with the Bing cashback.

Remember Bing cash back is discontinued on July 31

With bing cb ending at the end of july, you may not get the $25. I say this because wirefly doesnt submit the purchase to bing until the phone ships, its just their policy.

[CLOSED/G2] T-Mobile stores in my area won't sell early :(

I called a few of the T-Mobile's in Orlando and they said that they weren't allowed to sell them until the 6th. So is this selling early thing a regional thing only?

I tried calling several locations around the Orlando/Winter Park area too, and none of them were selling it early. Finally found a store in Waterford Lakes that sold it to me about an hour ago. Very happy with the phone so far.

I went to the T-Mobile store in the Brandon Mall. They told me they could not sell for upgrades until the 6th but for new accounts or if you have to add a new data plan or service to get it, they could sell it to you today.

I just called 2 T-Mobile stores here in Los Angeles and they confirmed that they are selling already.

Called 3 stores in the columbus, ohio area - none of them are selling it early. I finally was like, "no I don't wnat to be put on your waiting list, whats the motivation for htat when I can hop over to radio shack and buy it right now". Makes no sense to me WHATSOEVER why they would refuse to sell it. Unfortunately radioshack's no contract price is 550, grrr gotta wait till the 6th I guess ($499 at tmo stores).
Furthermore, Tmobile not OFFICIALLY allowing their stores to sell early is a damn joke - somehow radio shack is given the official go ahead to sell before a corporate store? What a joke!

Well radio shack isn't tmo corp. They are autherized dealers. If tmo has a date they wanna sell at that's the date they feel will give enough time to make store changes and offical shipments in to all stores. They have to change out 10k plus stores so that u get the same experience at every location and stock them all. If radio shack wants to sell early that's up to them but if the get some type of backlash from tmo for selling early is a differnt story. In the end its all marketing really. If u dnt wanna wait then pay the extra 50 bucks. Call it your convience fee heh

T-mobile stores can sell today if they have stock available. My stores didn't so I bought from radio shack. Love it so far.

They had a real working one out on display at the T-mobile here in Florida. Didnt ask about buying it though. If it was on display, you think that means theyre selling it or?

I just went to Radio Shack and got mine. The cashier had to call Tmobile customer service and the tmo rep said that this was the first retail purchase recorded. I doubt it though.

What time did u get it? I waited outside the door til they opened at 11, and was gone by 11:30, g2 in hand. My tmo store was pissed when I brought back the vibrant on day 13, lol.

haha, funny about you returning your vibrant. I returned mine also but the guys were really cool at the tmo store because they knew the G2 was a better phone than the vibrant. I happen to agree.

Just picked up a G2 at the T-Mobile store in Mountain View, CA (San Antonio Shopping Center - 510 Showers Drive) at about 3:30pm PT. They didn't say how many they had in stock, but did say mine was only the second G2 sold today.

Well, I'm thinking the Guy was ticked because he doesn't get he commission now, plus I went to the shack instead of the store. Oh well. I actually had to go to a different store to get my refund on the vibrant. He told me he couldn't do it because he didn't have the money in his drawer. Total prick about it too.
