Oh no you didn't !! - EVO 4G General

I receive a call yesterday @ 7:33 pm from Best Buy, they said that they were overbooked and i have to go tomorrow Saturday @ 8:00 am to pick up my EVO, sad isn't it?

My Best Buy called me about a week ago to set up an appointment to pick up the phone. I purposely picked a best buy in a less popular area to avoid this kind of thing.
Sorry to hear you have to wait. I have to wait until after work today to get mine, so until 6PM CST we're in the same boat.

who is pre-ordering the Sprint Evo 4G?

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.
awesome rockky, how did it go? for those of us who haven't preordered a phone at best buy, what can we expect? what's the process like? were there many other people there? preoorder supplies limited?

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.

BB preorder details...

so i preordered my evo a while back at my local BB (san antonio, tx) and i was "lucky" to be no. 46
i went today to check if anyone ahead of me had backed out and to find out how many they are going to have in stock on the release date.
the guy told me that the first wave of pre orders stopped at 99 so anyone after 99 will have to wait till the 2nd wave of phones
so everyone that is no. 99 or less is GUARANTEED a phone on the release date. according to him i have nothing to worry about.
so can you guys check with your stores and find out if this info is accurate?
im 4th at my BB so i didnt bother to ask.
Did not bother.....Since im #1 at my BB
1st at my store

I went to the BB in san antonio over off Culebra and they were total aholes so i went across the street to RS.. what BB are you getting it from
BB in Pembroke Pines South Florida is on their second wave orders. Said that they would receive those on the 11th. I went to RS and reserved there. First "appointment" on the 4th.
I would have been first at my BB also if the idiots knew they were doing pre orders the first time I called!

i went to the one on the rim... but your ****ed if you go there they have over 130 pre orders lol...
#11 at my radio shack, pre-ordered today.
wife starting new account. she will activate the phone. then we'll switch her evo with my hero on my separate account. she wants a smaller phone and doesn't care too much and knows i want the evo insanely bad.
she's doing $99.95/mo unlimited w/ my hero - work pays 100%
i'm doing the 69.95/mo 450min plan + $10 4g w/ evo - 25% sprint discount - work pays $25/mo (to reimburse "data")
lady didn't know but took a stab in the dark and said i was 16th and then proceeded to tell me that they are supposed to get enough to cover the 16 but don't get your hopes up high.
WTH?
I know I was the first to pre order mine at my BB. All I got was a receipt for my $50.00 + tax. no appointment or certificate or gift card. Is that what everyone else got?
all I got was a receipt, gift card, and a flyer. Didn't see anything about what number I was and didn't have an appointment.

You need to go back and tell them you want your gift YOU'RE entitled to for you 50 dollars.
Also they SHOULD know what number you are in the preorder log. Don't let them play dumb.
They said all I need is the receipt and the $50 on it will be applied towards the phone.
Is that all your gift is- a credit towards the phone, or is there something additional I should have received?

Hmm... Well they took down my info and told me I was the first one in. They said the receipt is good enough and it will be applied towards the purchase of the phone. Maybe my BB is just backwards or something.
I guess I was just curious if they were doing an additional credit, somewhat similar to what Radio Shack is doing. I have heard they will match that $20 accessory credit.
BB called me 2 days ago to set an appointment up on the 4th to get the phone. I am getting 2 so my times are 5pm and 530pm
im in allentown pa btw
So are we all supposed to have "appointments"? that seems pretty silly to me. I got 50 dollar gift card, receipt, and copy of filled out flyer. I hope I don't need an "appointment" too. They told me I was 14th to preorder (did it after work on first day available)
called my local best buy about pre-ordering, had to wait till i got paid. they told me i could still preorder, but i wouldnt be able to pick up until june 9th. ugh.

I'm 3rd on the list at BB here in Wilmington, DE... At first they told me no appointments were going to be scheduled. Then they called me yesterday and set up a 9:30am appointment... They also called me again today and said they are throwing in free installation for the Invisible Shield for the Evo.

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!

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

Disappointing price. Opted me to upgrade with contract extension for $165. Even with $200 termination fee the phone will come out much cheaper than the non-contract price. Used Bing cash back also. Of course, if I was not eligible for upgrade I would've paid the non-contract price anyway
Lunch day?? Did i miss the picnic again?

I just picked mine up. WOW it is sooooo nice. I love this screen.
Agreeed... I'm in heaven coming from the G1 (and N1).
Im in love with my vibrant. Been on it for last 2 days since I got it for free at the samsung training.

I got to the store an hour early, and it opened an hour late. ah!
Still I got it.
lol my store opened exactly 9 Am and i thought i was going to be the 2nd person to purchase but 1st person was just paying a bill with the machine and like 10 people behind me
My store open at 10., Im headed in to trade in my 6 day old HD2!!
Got mine at 9 a.m. Ba-da-bah-bah-bah (I'm lovin' it).
There were a couple of people waiting in cars outside. My store said they got about 20. What a great phone. Only thing missing for me is a notification light. But I'll get over it.
