I'm headed to my local Best Buy store to be there when the doors open at 10:00 a.m. today to pre-order the Evo... is anyone else going to get this phone right away? For those who don't know, if you gave Best Buy your email address at the Evo page on their site, they sent out an email last night around midnight pacific time saying that you could pre-order the Evo now. There doesn't seem to be any way to pre-order it online yet, so I'm gonna be at the store today! See you there?
Let's try to get an idea of which store you pre-ordered from and how many people were there, or if you're going to wait and try to get one when it comes out June 4th?
just did...10:00 Chicago!
pre-ordering the Sprint Evo 4G at 10:00 a.m. May 13, 2010
Give us the details when your done.
Amazon or wirefly will probably have it cheaper but you do go on.

me too, STL Missouri, BB rep new but the mobile guy did not, then the mobile was shocked at the $199.99 price tag, as he looked at his iPhone in disgust. haha
Neither of them knew what they were doing and one was a manager but I have my receipt locked in the safe Christmas or Birthday eek:I will figure out what to say to the wife later) is early for me!
Just went to a seattle suburb best buy and they said I CAN'T pre-order this phone because they don't carry sprint phones in the store?! they said they can only carry 3 of the major carriers so they have verizon, att, and tmobile. i showed the email i got and they said sorry, order it online. i explained that i can't order it online because their website says to get it in the store... wow. I guess ill try radioshack even though I hate that store.
When you go into pre-order can you order it for the full price or do they only do pre-orders if you are signing a new contract?
Went to a Sprint store, and they took my name, address, phone number, and social security number, and they said that will reserve an Evo for me on the day it comes out. They said theywill get a line like they did for the Pre, but can schedule me for any time of day (after the rush dies down) so I can just walk in and choose a plan and walk out. They will call me on the 3rd (the day before it comes out) to schedule a time for me to come in. Sounds good - buying it directly from Sprint is fine with me anyway. Getting a little bit tired of Best Buy, and Radio Shack is so 1980 anyway
Well made my pre order at best buy. $50 and thats it.
Done. Leaving bestbuy as we speak
After reading online about a gift card we're supposed to get i went back and got mine. Would've been nice if the best buy guys mentioned this in the first place. Appointments are to be set on the third when they call people based on when they made the preorder. I'm 8th in line at my store
by the way, the Sprint store didn't require me to put any money down, they just took my information and said they will call me the day before. so, maybe try the sprint store if you don't have the $50 right now. the guy i dealt with was a sales manager or something to that effect and was very friendly and knowledgable, he said he guarantees i will have one reserved. no gift cards though he said they don't even know which contracts are applicable for this phone yet for sure, but he said he's pretty sure it will be "80 bucks" which makes sense based on the 450-minute plan for $69 and the $10 fee for 4G.
The store I called said they are not doing reserves or pre-orders, wtf
preordered mind at bestbuy 50dollars down cant wait to june 4
going to pre order mine later today
I just preordered at One of the BB's in Las Vegas. 50$ commitment thogh they said I could use the 50$ for something else or apply it towards the phone at release. So it's almost like a free preorder. Thogh you can't preorder if you are too broke. I went to BB, a retailer I abhor, because they weren't as dumb as the broad I talked to at radioshack two days ago and becase they always deduct mail in rebates at the time of purchase.
Sent from my iPhone
lol...wth well i got the LAST Evo available around my area but guess what i couldn't buy it so i had to preorder it because sprint is down.
I just saw the EVO for $149 at Sam's with a contract of course. I told the sales rep must be because new phones are coming and she said yes the EVO 3D. She knew nothing else about the phone.
Looks like it's the EVO Shift
I am so glad I waited on my replacement
I noticed late last night, and still this morning, the Evo4G is now $29.95 on the Radio Shack website for either new Sprint 2-year contracts, or for eligible 2-year renewals.
The only difference is new customers get free shipping, while renewals pay $10.00 for standard FedEx.
Based on what I've seen in the past, it'll probably go back up after the holiday. It dropped to $99.00 at Christmas, and never got down to that again until the 3vo came out.

I just saw that, wow thats a crazy deal. If I didn't already have one I would be on it
Htc Evo 4g
The ridiculous part is the Evo Shift is still $99.00.

Thanks for the heads up man. Just got my aunt an EVO for $40.
I just ordered one for my wife. Best deal I could find on the net for a renewal.
Just found that, here in Denver anyway, the price is also good in Radio Shack stores, through July 9 (with a "while supplies last" caveat). If it's true where you are, you can save the shipping fee, and since it's in the print ad, other retailers may match it.

are there any special for non renewal prices? would like to upgrade my wife to an evo but 2 year isn't up yet
Got mine from Best Buy for free also last week.
Did they do away with their rebate program still? I remember around the holidays, folks were price matching radio shack's $99, then doing the $100 rebate too.

If she's over 1 year, but not to the two year yet, call Sprint on this number:
(877)775-4886
Ask for a manual override of her upgrade date. You may need to explain that she was affected by the change in the Sprint Premier plan, but generally this staff has proven quite willing to push forward upgrades for people with over 12 months, and less than 22.
Once they put the new renewal date int he system, you can do your upgrade at Radio Shack, or wherever you like.
