Friend wants White Evo - cannot find one

Any way to find one of these? They do not seem to be available any longer at Best Buy, and I think it was a BB exclusive.
Any other way to obtain one?
This would really please my co-worker if I could find one for them.
Thanks in advance!

not ideal, but:

Thanks...
She was hoping to be able to use her upgrade to get the Evo....
She's not to hip on CL due to possibility of buying a stolen phone.
Thanks for the link....I saw that one before I posted here.....

I work at Best Buy Mobile and we had an Employee News article go through our systems about a week or two ago that literally read "White Evos Lost In Bermuda Triangle." The article went on to say that they weren't really lost in the Bermuda Triangle, but to not expect any replenishment on White Evo stocks for the foreseeable future. Don't wait around for one, they aren't coming any time soon.

I would let her have mine for the right compensation

Why do you need pictures?
I work at Best Buy, and I cannot even get one. The whole state of Florida is pretty much out of them, and they are discontinued.
So don't bother expecting to get one with an upgrade. It's better to just buy one on eBay.

Let your co worker know white evo isn't too far from black one.
Screen and frame portion is black just like the regular black evo.
Only white portion is the battery cover and the small portion of plastic on the back.
It's far from white iPhone and black one.

Thanks so much.
She's pretty much resigned to the fact that none are to be found, but, I knew that if any were to be found, this would be the place to look.

Is she hot??

Actually sprint is going to resell the white evo in November. Probably after the galaxy tab goes on sale which is on the 14.
Sent from the HTC Evo.

Sprint stores will begin selling the white EVO on November 14th.

If everything goes as per usual, they will go on sale the day after his girlfriend buys something else.

Long line still?

lines aren't bad. I was actually one of the first 50 but gave up my spot after talking to the Samsung rep. they're quite disorganized tho

i got there at 11am. i was honestly turned off by the whole experience. the Samsung reps don't know when they will be shipping the grey models. they just told me to keep checking. it really seemed like they were not ready to release this thing yet.

Any word on when the 8.9 will be available?

Time is ticking. The tablet market is hot, and moving very rapidly. All tablet manufacturers have to push these things out as fast as they can, before more competition gets their units out, ramp up production, or newer, better models come along. They don't really have time to come out with a polished and well planned launch. I'm sure this is why it was a NYC only event. They just weren't ready for a full launch, but are trying to get these released as quickly as possible.

Wait, sorry if i'm off here but, everyone is upset because they only have the white model and not the grey one?

if you were there at the launch, you'd be too.
1) no announcements were made that they only had the 16gb white model. there were a lot of people who were waiting longer than me who left the line after hearing the Samsung rep tell me about that. they all wanted a 32gb model, due to the lack of micro sd slot.
2) Samsung reps had no idea when the rest of the models will be available. no eta. only told me to keep coming back. it was a disorganized launch. there were gaps in information between Samsung reps and Best Buy employees. the Samsung rep even admitted that they had to ship some models last second just to even have demo versions.
don't get me wrong.. i'll be going back there again tomorrow in hopes that they suddenly get some new shipments of the grey 32gb model.. fingers crossed.

i bought the 16gb white model the only model available , was planning to get the metallic grey , might return this for the metallic grey once that comes out.
Also got the free leather sleeve . the line wasn't too bad i reached there exactly at noon.

I bet the grey will be out on the 17th. I would be a little bit miffed to get there & wait only to find they have 16GB white models if I was wanting grey or a higher capacity.
They talked the release up enough that they should have mentioned that model was to be the one released.
I'm still bombed at still no word on the 8.9.
I think i'll give it a few more weeks after that I'm probably just going to bite the bullet and place an order for the iPad2 :-|

Yeah it was super fishy that the annouced launch way back from Jan of this year was a one Best Buy only launch with the rest coming a week later.
It appears now from your experience that you are dead on correct, they simply wernt and still ARE NOT ready to launch but are scrambling to get them ready.
The sad part is that the average non XDA tablet buyer will be non the wiser until a major new publication decides to cover this.
My biggest question is this: What is the exact count of 16GB white versions avaliable at Best Buy today?

I would buy the 16gb white one then.... wait and return for whatever tablet you want.

i asked.. Samsung rep couldn't tell, Best Buy employee didn't know. there really was that disconnect. i also asked them if there was an option for those of us there that showed up - if we could get some sort of email or phone notification if the model we wanted came in stock at the store.. nope. no luck

i waited this long already. i can wait another week or so

I'm personally not upset the white 16gb was wat i wanted anyways, but i forgot about the leather sleeve, since i doubt the sold 200.

Anybody in the area stop in and see how many of these are still left in stock or estimate of how many has been sold?
I'd be curious to know.

I got there after 2pm and they had stacks on the desk where the samsung employees were demoing. I would b shocked if they become out of stock. They had alot of keyboards, docks and folio cases also.

so its safe to say their strategy was a smashing failure. hope this expedites their worldwide launch. they should've premiered elsewhere

That is a bit disappointing
I was going to attempt to make a trip out.. glad I didn't.
I pre-ordered mine on bestbuy.com and got 18 months no interest financing (not that I need it or care for it, I guess it is just kind of cool to get)

Just as a side note, does this best buy have a parking? Hey, its NYC and parking is tough

They do not.

HTC One Pre-Order Black Only

Thought I'd start a thread for black only devices as silver seems pretty readily available at most carries in the uk.
I Pre ordered from Vodafone on the 5th March and am sadly still waiting anyone else received any info regarding black apart from the fact it's looking like they will fulfil orders by 4th April.

Ordered a black ONE from Mobile Phones Direct. At the time of ordering they were showing a delivery date of 29th. Looking at their website now it is still showing as 29th so holding thumbs. I originally pre-ordered a black one from them on the 02 March with a delivery date of 15th, but cancelled it for a cheaper deal but later delivery date of 29th. Just as well because I got an email saying that the 15th order was delayed to 29th anyway, so saved some cash and no real loss. Can't wait to get my hands on it though.

I ordered my black HTC One from P4U on the 14th and got a dispatch email about an hour ago saying it will arrive tomorrow. Am I right to be very doubtful about this? Seems too good to be true haha

No they were good for me when I got the same email it was there the next day, track your order on royal mail. They were first to get hold of the silver models. Is it SIM only or on new or upgrade contract?

Its a new contract, I originally pre-ordered with CPW but they had delays so I changed to P4U (also better deal). Im really looking forward to getting my hands on the black one I haven't seen too many pictures/videos of it so far.

When you do please take lots of pics and let us know how it feels When I first saw the black version I instantly fell in love with it, but unfortunetly since I am going to upgrade with T-Mobile UK they only offer the silver.

Me! I preordered mine at Handtec. Hope I get mine soon so I could kick some serious development for this device.

3rd of April delivery with CPW. I'd rather wait a week for the black which imo looks a lot better than the silver.

It's personal preference in the silver you can appreciate the design more then the black. silver stands out more. The only reason I prefer the black is because the last few devices I've owned have all been white, so looking for bit of change. Mind you I've got silver which looks brilliant.

I really hope so, got mine pre-ordered with free Beats Solo Headphones, if I hadn't got that deal I would probably have switched over to P4U by now and just went silver...

Should be the same materials I'd hope! I prefer black over white as the me it seems more unified. Also for some reason i think the notification LED will stand out more when contrasting with black, however I'm probably wrong!

Price Drop at Amazon 12/7/14

Most variations have dropped in price $50 as of 11:00 pm est on 12/5/14 at amazon. I noticed earlier they pulled the 32gb black stating "because of problems". Now that they are selling them again, I hope they might be the supposed, updated version.

I saw this earlier today at work and used it to price match my purchase at Best Buy right before Thanksgiving. It was the same $349 on black friday but I was too lazy and never got around to calling this price match in. I was kicking myself and was quite happy to see it drop again today!

Amazing
Thats awesome that the price dropped too fast

Sorry for opening a new thread, I didn't see it until now.

Price matched at BB online, they shipped it yesterday, I received it today, it's going back tomorrow. October model, squishy back, horrid light bleed, and the volume and power buttons are nearly recessed into the chassis. Left it charging for 4 hours and got 35% battery. I love the tablet, but HTC made this an epic fail. I hope I can get a good one, I love the screen and the 4:3 ratio is great.

White one seems to be a better build (N=1)

I actually sent mine back to HTC to see if they can repair the issues that I didn't like about the tablet. They received it today, so I'll know in a week or so if they fixed it. If not, I'll swap it for a white one at Best Buy.

wow, that was a quick price drop for a new device. Interesting...

T-Mobile has it for 601 dollars now for the 32GB.

Verizon has LG V20 in stores today!

I'm going to go pick mine up now. Had the manager hold the silver one for me as there was only one left. I don't know why they're there early, but I thought I'd call just in case, and indeed they have them 5 days early!

I called 4 of my stores today, all of them said they have no idea when they will be getting them in.... did you indeed pick it up from the store?

Why not just order it from the Verizon website.
I ordered mine Thursday night. Received it Friday. Just activated it a few hours ago and been playing with it a little. Love the phone so far.

I called my local store to see if they had stock and was told yes. I proceeded to unroot and relock my bootloader on my Nexus 6 to have it ready for swap (payment plan upgrade). Got my two kids in the car and headed to the store. Got there and they have no idea what I'm talking about but after some prompting decided to check their inventory. They say they have 6 in Titan but then the store manager can't find them, and basically tell me to go order it online as it won't be in store till the 25th and they couldn't sell me one anyways if they did have stock. I really just wanted to see and feel the phone, everything else I'm sold on. But the attitude I got when we are talking about hundreds of dollars worth of hardware and service, really astounds me. Anyway the moral of the story is YMMV as far as getting a v20 in store before the 25th. Smh I wanted silver anyways.....

it's a verizon store, what did you expect? everytime i goto corporate stores, they're all ignorant a**holes. i hate corporate verizon. i used to run an authorized retailer, and people would constantly tell us nightmare stories of corporate stores, and all i would do is agree, because i felt the same way. they're idiots, and the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing.

That sucks. I got lucky I guess. I'm thrilled too - this is by far the best phone I've ever used (including the Note 7 which I had for a month).

Its funny, now that I had to go back to stock, I decided to flash a Nuget ROM and now I'm not sure if I want to upgrade, my n6 still really holds its on with new software.

My Verizon zone (authorized retailer) said not until Friday. After reading this, I think I'm gonna call every day lol.

Same thing with me, but I got the s7 edge after my Note 7. Man, s7 edge software felt so half-baked compared to the Note 7. Also, the Note 7 curved back makes a huge difference when you hold the phone. I am returning my s7 edge and getting my v20 on wednesday and using my 256gb samsung card.

Quick question for those of you that got yours through verizon. Does it come with a factory screen protector? I'll be getting mine tomorrow and I have a case for it, but I couldn't seem to find a screen protector that was worth a damn. I really don't want to go naked until I find one if I can help it.

Yes it comes with a screen protector that can be used. Just has a small pull tab on it.

Yeah, its a cheap plastic screen protector. I'll keep it on till it bubbles up or starts to peal off.
