I placed an order for the Incredible last week with Verizon. Expecting to receive it the NEXT day, I waited 2 days, the weekend, and all of Monday for this thing since you have to sign for the package. I finally call Verizon...
"Thank you for calling Verizon wireless, home of the HTC Incredible, how can I help you?"
Come to find out they are all on back order until June. Not once did they communicate this to me and I found it to be quite annoying. How are you going to put up advertisements all over and even answer your phone "home of the Incredible," but not even have the damn phone available?
Sucks to Verizon!
I will wait, but I've been having wet dreams about this phone for days, now I have to wait another 3 weeks!
Again, Sucks to Verizon!
Its not Verizon's fault HTC cant manufacture enough because of the limited about of amoled displays coming from samsung. This phone is sold out everywhere.
I tried Verizon, they were out. I tried online, they were all backordered. I tried Best Buy...found one 35 minutes away that had 4 in stock. I got it through them for $200, same as it would have been through Verizon but the rebate was instant. I am not usually a fan of BB but this time I was happy to purchase from them!

I find it hard to believe you ordered it last week and never saw/received a warning about being backordered, as it's been on backorder for a while now.
There are component shortages, believe me, Verizon would love to have them in stock because they're making less money with people not wanting to backorder, which increases the chance they'll buy the EVO or wait for iPhone4.
regardless of what you think, the same thing happened to me. i was assured by customer service that the phone was only out of stock in the store. they said they had plenty in the 'warehouse' but it was only when I ordered the phone with overnight shipping that I found out it truly was on backorder when it didn't show up the next day

cant bc Verizon is doing me a favor by letting me upgrade early. I was havin issues with my tp2
i pre-ordered mine on 4/25, thank god i got it on 29th ^^
I bought mine on May 10th and at the time all of the Verizon Dealers were already sold out, I found three Best Buy in my local area that had at least one. The one I went to had 3 in stock.
I believe they have been on backorder for sometime now. People seem to hear what they wanna hear when purchasing a new toy
Have a friend who bought one at Wal*Mart last night for $149.
I bought mine at bestbuy last night

I think his main gripe is getting it from Verizon directly. All I'm simply saying is that phone has said its on back order since a few days after it was released
I got lucky, their website said shipping out 5/29, well.. I have had this phone about a week now.. just be patient and it will come early.

That's what the site said when I ordered mine on the 9th. I hope I get mine before then. They already billed me!
[/jealous]
I ordered mine online on 5/1 wasn't suppose to ship until 5/14, received it 5/5.
anything changing for people with when you're getting your phones? Anyone order thier phone on the 13th and have any specific information? All Verizon's CSR's keep saying is "6/1 blah blah blah"
I ordered mine on the 14th and its supposed to get here around 6/1 to, so i wouldn't expect it any sooner, but be happy if it comes early
I just opened an email that said mine has shipped. When I checked the tracking number on FedEx, I read they sent it Priority Overnight... but it's not expected to be here until Monday.
I hope it somehow shows up tomorrow so I'll have time to play with it before the work week starts. And wouldn't ya know it, I have a staff meeting on Monday and can't be here to sign for it. haha
Engadget is reporting that Sprint has sold out on their initial stock of EVO's for their stores and online, and likely BestBuy and The Shack.
Great news eh?

Check back later - more are on their way!"
Man, I just ordered mine yesterday online and it arrived today (free overnight shipping) ...Phew, that was close!
i had called up 3 different sprint stores and this is what i was told
store 1: sold out, will get new shipment either friday or tuesday
store 2: sold out, taking deposit to reserve one (45 people already on list)
store 3: had few in stock (Silver Spring, MD)

Radio shack is the only place in lower NH i could get on a pre-order list. Comes in Friday
Good thing I ordered mine Sunday.. i received it earlier today!
Here in Ohio no better, Went to best buy with my buddy, was quoted as Evo shippment tomorrow and now it's been moved to a nice lovely ambiguous "sometime from wednesday to friday" Here's hoping sooner rather than later but oh well. Here's hoping we can survive the great evo shortage of 2010! (*side note* kinda regretting not pre-ordering sooner, I was 8 people into the 2nd batch forcing me to wait an extra week. BAH!)
its good news, i just wished they had more accessories on launch day!
Decided to give in and pick one of these up yesterday. Couldnt find one in stock anywhere. This morning I was prepared to call every Radio Shack in the area. The 1st one I called said someone just took themselves off the list and that they had one available. I put my name on it, and picked it up 20 minutes later.
I have 2 friends that got theirs this same way. I did pre order one for my girlfriend though while I was there and she will be getting it on Friday.
I just got mine today and I had to call 8 or so sprint stores to find one in stock, ends up the store I got mine at had 10 in stock still from the first shipment and they had given a lot of their first order of 300 to other area stores. Once I got there it took them about 2 and a half hours to activate the flippin thing, my voice and 4g connected but my 3g never came up, took them forever to sort it out. They actually had to activate two evos to figure the problem out. I got 2 boxes and goodies out of the deal though, I am in the kc area too.
Which Sprint store was this? Im also in the KC area and have a few friends wondering if anyone has them in stock. Sounds like that store may be worth a shot.
argh its sold out online again!! I can't wait any longer!

I was going to order it online last night and then dumb me second guessed myself and decided to see if i could get lucky in a store today. Now I realize that was a very stupid idea.
how are some of you getting overnight delivery; i placed my order around 12pm PST yesterday and i still haven't received a delivery notification or any updates; it still says waiting in the warehouse for processing; this is annoying me since it's supposed to be overnight delivery
I'm corporate so I have to go through my Sprint rep (can't get one through a local store), ordered it a week ago today and still no word.
Same here.. but i got on the in-store list as well. My hope is that the wait is due to manufacturing changes and I get a device without all the shortcomings of the earlier devices.

I'm waiting for it to be in stock so I can get a replacement evo because of the back light leaking issue I call n it's out of stock every time they said as soon as it goes in stock I can get a replace ment no questions asked
Yeah, but in the meantime they should be knocking out some with the old config (the changes aren't that critical) !!!!! If they wait any longer, the moto x, iphone 4, etc are going to kill their sales numbers. Time is money... hurry up HTC and Sprint!!!!!!

I was on a waiting list at one of the Sprint retail kisoks in one of our malls for an Evo for my dad and I was going to bring him and my mom to my family plan. I called a week and a half ago and got on the list and then I called saturday (8 days later) and they said they'd call me back later that day, I waited 3 hours and they said they were still seeing if they could work something out. I took my parents out to lunch and they place they picked was over near the mall so I decided we should stop by after lunch and see where I was on the list and figure things out. We stopped by and I asked where I was on the list and I was still on the second page. I then said "We are here, you can either call 20 people back on the list today and maybe get one, or you could sell me one right now while we're here. He considered it a second and then said "Ok, I can do that". My mom had though about getting one as well and after she heard him say that she chimed in with "get one for me too". And he did and we walked out 30 min later all set. Just have to realize that they are there to sell phones, so if you find the right guys and show them cash they're much more motivated.
I agree with you man. I ordered from http://shopamerica.htc.com/homebrands/index.htm because on their website, it said they were in stock, so I placed the order that day (FRIDAY), WAS APPROVED NEXT DAY, AND SAID IT WAS READY TO SHIP. It showed my estimated delivery date. Said it would be shipped out Tues (tomorrow) and would arrive Weds since I chose overnight.
I check the status of my order today and to my surprise there is a new tab that says BACK ORDERED. I was pissed off! I called up customer care immediately asking why did they say it was in stock on their website, then all of a sudden today, it says its on back order. The rep told me that "THEY MUST'VE FORGOT TO REMOVE IT FROM THEIR SYSTEM." I'm like wtf kinda bull**** is that? I didn't get any notification, no phone call, no email. I had to find out by checking online. Very unprofessional.
I asked her when I would receive my phone and she told me they would be getting them in stock on Friday the 25th. So I said fine and hung up. Called back up a couple hours later because I initially forgot to ask when I would ACTUALLY RECEIVE IT. Gave the person my info and he then tells me that I wont receive my phone until JULY 1ST. You can only imagine how much more pissed off I was. I told him what the previous rep told me, then he said the earliest you are going to receive your phone is July 1st. I asked him about cancelling my order and he told me it would take 3-5 business days. Then I told him, you can automatically debit my account the day I make purchase, but it would take almost a full week to get refunded? Told him i'd think about cancellign and i'd call him when i've reached a decision.
How can one rep tell me one date, then another rep give me another? That is so rediculous. If I DO NOT receive my phone by the 1st, i'm definately cancelling my order and sticking with T-Mobile. This is rediculous...
yes, but there's a caveat...

On a corporate/business/enterprise account, you can definitely walk into a Sprint store and walk out with anything in there, as long as you are a POC on the account.
HOWEVER...
There's a catch: most sprint stores are privately owned, so any hardware in there has been purchased by the owner from Sprint. Result: the discounts you can get through your rep are unavailable to you in the store, so your account gets charged whatever the store charges, as opposed to the discounted rates for hardware through your rep.
Lolz i picked mine up on the 8th the day i decided i wanted one and sold my iphone. call around to every little place that has them, they might just have 1 more just for you

I did the same thing.
Now that I'm trying to get it exchanged/replaced I called around and found that every Sprint store is sold out but the first 'Mobile Best Buy' (it's a cart in the mall, lolololol) I got a number for, had over ten in stock. Too bad they're still broken so there isn't a point going through the trouble of exchanging it yet.

Actually the Best Buy near me had 4 of them. There are only 2 problems with that:
1) I am buying at full retail price and Best Buy's cost is $499 and they will not price match for non-activated prices.
2) If HTC stopped production to fix some issues then it makes good sense to wait until production starts back up again.
The problem is that I am really impatient!
3 of ours are from spint.com, but sprint 1800 said that I had to wait until sprint.com got more in before I could exchange them, which they haven't gotten any in recently.
They need to hurry up, because at this rate the samsung galaxy s pro is going to be out.
Caught between MIR deadline and 30-day return?
My employer has a sweet deal on the Evo - so I ordered through them on 6/26 - even though it involves the dreaded mail-in rebate. Of course, I'm on backorder. I noticed though, that the MIR form insists that the receipt must show it was purchased by July 10 to be eligible for the MIR. I suspect this is also the date when the 30-day return clock begins. What if the delays are long, and it goes past that date? Does my cost go up $100 due to the problems with their supply chain? If it goes by the date ordered - then is my 30-day return period reduced to nothing?
I'm betting all the new Evos will ship with the new OTA update that breaks root. HTC's big **** you to the community for trying to fix their problems.

Alright, when I had the HTC mogul, I was maybe one year into my contract and it broke. At this time time the insurance company and sprint stopped stocking this phone so I got a free upgrade. When do you think they will stop stocking the evo 4g considering no one will really be buying it anymore since the evo 3d is out. My evo has dead spots and I dont want to turn it in and then a week later realize I could have gotten the 3d. Anyone have any insight on this?
I don't think that will happen anytime soon. Of course, someone posted here that they do not get that many EVO's turned in with issues so they do not have alot of refurbs to hand out. I just had mine replaced by Asurion last week and got a NIB EVO. My son lost his moment a few months ago and the replacement device would have been another moment and that phone is almost 2 yrs old. (and a pos, I got Sprint to reset my upgrade because there was no way I was going to pay the $100 deductible for another moment). I think you will be waiting a very long time.

I was just at a local sprint store today and as I was getting my Evo checked out for random reboots and my sound going up and down on its own and thats without being rooted.. he opened up a cabinet and much to my suprise there was tons of OG Evo's and a few 3d's.. Yes the 3d is being scooped up fast, but I dont think it will be for a very long time before the OG Evo is done with and not being restocked.. its still one of the top sellers for Sprint
The evo has reached EOL as of a week ago or so. So that means they have stopped making them. So basically the only evo's left are what stores already have, and maybe a few left in their warehouses.
Generally when a phone EOL's, there will still be refurbs available for warranty and insurance claims for at least a few months after the EOL date. After that, you will probably be given an upgrade to a new phone.
I read somewhere that Evo's will stop being produced in a few months, but their production definitely has been reduced because of the 3D.

Good luck getting an upgrade. I spent 5 months trying to get a downgrade from sprint fixed. Ultimately I had to use my upgrade and get a new phone. So good luck with being upgraded by sprints warranty.
We have 2 OG EVO's with best buys warranty instead. Had a samsung moment that broke 2 times and the second they didn't stock it and "upgraded" us to a samsung intercept (really a downgrade). Five months later I had to use my upgrade on my sons account and get him the EVO shift (his choice) and got a whopping $50 or $75 credit for the 40-50 hours I spent on the phone and computer trying to resolve the issue.
Anyway. Bottom line.
Good luck with that. I hope you do get upgraded!!!
No surprise.
I seen a few peeps get an og evo today
Still popular
I took mine in for a error 78 issue they offered a refurbished evo replacement but they advises to wait if I can maybe I can get a cheaper evo 3d in a few months maybe even a free nexus s

The EVO 4G is NOT EOL right now. I'm actually selling more of the OG EVO than the EVO 3d, although that's likely becuase I only handle corporate and government accounts, and they don't want to pay twice the cost for the EVO 3d now that the EVO is $99.99. The Evo still does everything business users need it to do and more, so it's popularity really hasn't waned like previous smartphones did (the moment the EVO came out, NOBODY wanted to be on the Hero, even though it was the greatest thing since sliced bread about 9 months before).
If I had to guess it will be a long time before you start seeing EVO's replaced with newer phone models on a regular basis, if only because we seem to reserve more phones to cover exchanges on the really popular models once they've gone EOL. usually when I see a lot of options for other phones models it's on a handset that we only sold for a couple of months and nobody wanted wanted anyway (anybody remember the Moto Q9C? Be thankful you don't! I could replace that with a different model within weeks of EOL.)

hey now, I stock with that piece of junk q9c until the hero was released. picked it up on day one. I'll hold on to the evo until something better comes up even then it is going have to really offer a lot more than what I have now.
That would be the nexus prime. It should be here before thanksgiving n it will be the ULTIMATE android phone to date no matter what carrier your on. It will also start to dissolve other brands u.i. due to that being the main reason behind 90% of all problems we have with our phones. This way we won't have to worry about looking for exploits to obtain root because Google already made the root, eventually it will just be a simple click in the settings like turning 4g on n off
A month or so ago Best Buy told me that Sprint is doing early contract renewals. It was supposed to be a limited time offer. Maybe if you're nice they might still do it.

Thought to start a thread for those of us that have ordered from their website.
I ordered a Black One last week via uSwitch. The £30 upfront fee has been deducted(not sure if they deduct straight away when ordering) on 02.04 and T-Mo have done their in and out of £2. When I called yesterday I was told that they will send an email before they ship, which I am still waiting for. They also said that they were expecting stock in yesterday, but I assume that was BS as their facebook page is saying next week in many instances.
I've spoken to them twice today and in the morning I was told stock will be in either today or tomorrow and in the afternoon they told me that they've received an email from HTC saying the delivery has been delayed till next week and they're looking at Tuesday (9th) or Wednesday (10th) for posting the handsets at the earliest.
Called tmobile direct to see if they can match the pricing but won't budge from £26pm for the tariff and £170 for the handset up front which is ridiculous.
Will just have to sit back and wait now.
That really sucks. Will just have to be patient I suppose. Not too worried about waiting another week I suppose it will arrive One day
Ordered on 23rd March, they informed me that they would have a stock update today (6th). Got shipping email last night for 24 hr delivery, so should be here today!! Can't wait!
Ordered my black One Thursday night 10pm. Friday 5th they received silver but no black. Apparently they are getting both in on Monday 8th.
My case had came, just no phone yet. They said I am getting the media link so all is well.
T-Mobile £26 a month. £30 upfront for the phone, except I got £40 cash back which has already been confirmed .

Ordered my black One Tuesday afternoon while they were stating in stock but allow 24 to 48 hours for delivery.
Nothing yet.
Am hoping they come in early next week so I don't have to make arrangements to be home!
Have been tempted to get a silver One from a Three store but have resisted!
£34 for the One Plan, clearly designed with The One in mind, hah, and £40 Quidco and the media link!

Got all the way to the end and it said I'd been referred and the number on the refer page didn't ring / nobody answered. Then got 2 missed calls from a T-Mobile 0845 number and haven't heard anything since! No emails either.
Emailed the [email protected] address and had a standard email saying about credit checks might delay orders and rang t-mobile and they have no record of anything so I'm in limbo-land! I guess I got somewhere because I had the 2 missed calls but not had anything since!
Here's hoping that everything goes through and there's little delay!
Ordered my silver one on the 28th and it arrived this morning with no sign of any media link. Spoke to them via Facebook and they said they had run out of media links as they were limited. However, I have read they others have received this that ordered after me, so not a happy bunny as you can imagine.
Still the phones a bit special and well worth the wait

They had better have one for me. I called specifically to confirm that I would be getting one as it did not show when i pre-ordered and they said that I would be. I cancelled my 02.03.13 order on MPD because this was marginally cheaper AND they were giving the Media Link free. If I dont get it I will be p....ed, and they will hear all about it.
I called Buy Mobile Phones today to ask if it were likely that I'd receive a black One sooner if I were to order with them now rather than keep my order with Affordable Mobiles.
He said that they both share the same stock pool, which is interesting as both companies have different addresses, though both are A1 Comms. I asked if they had ever received black handsets, to which he replied that they had, but they were sent back due to a quality issue.
The main reason I called is that BMP have a customer area and they answer the phone a lot quicker than AM! I don't know if BMP have priority though, being the parent company.
I read on Facebook that Mobile Phones Direct are emailing all waiting customers daily, no matter how small the news. Goes a long way though!

Affordable Mobiles nightmare
I avoided Affordable Mobiles this year after an horrendous episode with them last year. Basically even after confirming my cancellation for a One X, they went ahead and allowed a contract with three to complete, it took me weeks to get things sorted and never received any sort of apology. I've always got phones online through these type of resellers but this year I went straight into one of my local three stores, ten minutes later walked out with a new HTC One Silver.
The reason I did this was after googling how to dismantle the htc one, I learned that it's virtually impossible to repair the phone screen. I can only imagine the trouble I would have with the likes of Affordable Mobiles in trying to get a repair. Was assured by three that the phone would not be sent away if repair was needed but would be replaced. That sealed the deal for me.
Had mine 10 days now and it's awesome. I would advise avoiding the double dip official flip case, it's awful.
I hope you all enjoy your new phones when they arrive
