I'm just curious what details you guys (in US) are being told when you visit the store and ask about HD2.
I dropped in today and I was today there was no demo unit in the store and probably none in the other (5) stores in the area. The guy said it would show up next week and then he checked his BB and said it would be on the 20th/Saturday. I didn't mention to him about the 24th since they seemed busy and I didn't want to take up his time.
wait until tomorrow.... they are gonna have some sort of an announcement on the 16th...and apparently all the media ppl are invited so .... definitely tomorrow they will have a working demo of the phone....

I was referring to the release date for sale at T-Mobile of the HD2. Not about WP7s.
http://www.tmonews.com/ has the picture of the actual T-Mobile sign for pricing. So that's pretty official now.
$449.99 or $199.99 with 2yr contract.

He's talkinh about super-secretive, super-selective pre-launch announcement T-Mobile is hosting for selected press on 16th.
This is HD2 announcement and could be anything from the device's future or release date and blah blag blah.

Good luck! Tmo reps have the final training seminar done by now. That means devices are rrady to go. Just need a release date.
The launch event in metro atlanta was last week.
HTC had a launch event last week for the HD2 and everyone that attended got an HD2. I covered my manager's shift because he was going, I was a little jealous when he came in with one. If you are lucky there are a few employees who have the phone now, but the stores did not have working demo units. My store just got our dummy display model. Usually live demo phones show up about a week before launch. The 24th release date looks to be official but they have not updated the systems yet (still showing TBA) but there is a big media event 3/16.

A rep I talked to today told me 22nd.
Jerks for jerking me around.
It's up on their web site now http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/Cell-Phone-Detail.aspx?cell-phone=HTC-HD2 Coming soon!
keep your mony guys go for android or wait for the htc supersonic
I stopped by a tmob store two weeks ago to ask about the hd2 and was suprized when two of the employees already had them. They told me they were not suppose to show anyone until the release date was set, but let me play around with one. It is the most solid phone I have ever held. Since I have been following this phone before it had the hd2 name, most things were not a suprize. It is big, sleek, runs smooth, and has a great screen. He told me 24th and 199 price with contract. Also he told me that there were MS employees at their meeting and that they had brought up wmp7s and MS said it was a no for the hd2 due to 3 button issue.
Another thing I saw, rumors of 23rd from a mobitv tweet, and then people saying that was the day it was going active. The rep showed me the mobitv on the phone and it was already working.
This is such a hardware powerhouse, I cannot pass it up, even though I have become a die hard android fan. I have faith in XDA for android and wmp7s roms/boots/ports and its not like the sense UI with wm 6.5 is that much of a slouch.

It's been up since last week. I keep refreshing the page hoping the words "Coming Soon" change to "Add to Cart" LOL.
Last Friday, the 12th.
We were in a store in Plano.....where Frito's are born.
Near Dallas. Paying our bill and I got to talking
to the rep about the phone and he opens up
the drawer and lo and behold! there it is!!
Got to handle it and, even though the screen is huge
it really fits in you hand well...Probably due to how
thin it is...Cannot get over how Transformers looked
on the screen...Blows even my iphone away!!
My fiance, who is stil using a BB curve wants one also now.
Good thing I got a good tax return...lol
I'm going to be waiting outside the store on the 24th.
It will feel to me like waiting for the toy store to open...!
Shame about the T-Mobile logo stamped on the phone...

You could probably get it changed to earlier if you want. The appointments were defined before it was "suggested" the stores open early. Try giving them a call.
Well my radioshack opens at 9AM. So sucks for me :/
I'll be the one with my face pressed against the door with both my hands flat against the glass saying: OPEN...OPEN...OPEN...OPEN...OPEN...OPEN...OPEN...OPEN...OPEN...OPEN...
FUNNY HOW MANY ARE TREATING THIS LIKE X-MAS!
If you are other religious beliefs then please fill in LIKE ______
i just got my call from RS today saying they WILL be opening at 6AM! woohoo!
funny thing is that i called them yesterday and the manager said they werent gonna open early. i guess they just got the memo today. either way im effin stoked to say the least. this day cant seem to fly by fast enough. luckily the NBA finals start today so thatll distract me for a few hours from looking at the clock and wondering if this day is over yet. lmao!
go LAKERS and EVO!
After 5 weeks of running around the D.C. and Northern Virginia area I will have my evo as soon as I get out of work! The only downside is, it will come with 2.2 >.< and I can't root it yet oh well. How is everyone liking Froyo?
@EVO 4G congratulations man! it'll be nice to welcome another into the clan! as far as froyo goes, honestly, i'm kinda disappointed. My battery life seems worse and the phone seems to run hotter.
now take my opinion with a grain of salt. it seems that my results are not typical. i'm looking into what i can do to fix that.
anyways, congratulations and i hope they find a root for 2.2 so you can enjoy everything the EVO has to offer!
Thank you! I was a troll back in the days of the 8525 this forum helped me unlock it and mod it. I finally decided to join. Yeah I saw a few threads about running hot. I am sure they will find a way to root eventually.

It may not come with 2.2 preloaded. Just tell the employee that you are busy and will perform the update yourself at home on wifi instead of 3g/4g.
thats a really good point. it might have been sitting in the packaging long enough to dodge the 2.2 update
God, I hope that is the point. The way they have been selling and the fact that sprint's website is advertising 2.2 I doubt thats the case for this one >.< . We will see though.
fingers crossed homie!
I wouldnt trade my EVO FOR NO OTHER PHONE I LOVE IT!
Woohoo got my evo. Unfortunately its on 2.2 arrrghhh. Oh well this phone is the deal!
Sigh, still waiting here in Philly. Getting tired of waiting.
I picked up my Evo yesterday afternoon (Thurs) from a Sprint store, I had been on the list for a couple of weeks and they told me they would get some in on Wed. or Thurs. I also was on a list at Radio Shack and they told me they might get 3 Evos on Friday. On my drive to Sprint I pulled into Radio Shack and noticed a car with a Sprint logo parked outside. The manager told me again that they would be getting 3 phones on Friday...long story short: I left Radio Shack and went to Sprint, paid the full $320+ for the Evo, left Sprint and 20 minutes later RShack called me and told me I could come pick up my phone. With Radio Shack it would have been $199 + tax and that's it, no upgrade charge for the new phone etc., only the $10 more per month for the Evo plan. So I had good luck mixed with bad luck but I'm glad I've got my first Droid and it's great.
I love my EVO, best phone out there and best phone I've ever had (coming from WM TP2)!

You should of taken it back to the sprint store and got it at Radioshack so you didn't have the mail in coupon
Sent from my Evo, using the xda app
Sprint would have charged me a $35 restocking fee to return the Evo. I didn't even think about trying to return it as I'd signed the new contract etc. I did have Sprint charge my account so if I take a few months to pay it off my refund will show up in the mail. I really wanted to buy at Radio Shack though, if the manager would have slyly let me know the phones were in yesterday I would have waited for him to call.
Sprint has it up for buy BTW. I already ordered mine. Go get them guys

Just got an email from Sprint this morning, saying I can get it now. Waiting for Best Buy to open to see if they have any in stock, or if I have to order from Sprint.
I ordered mine this morning.
Jimbobtexas Best Buy shouldn't have them until Friday I believe. The pre-order online should then get it to you here by Thurs/Fri. So it should be the same time or so.
The nice thing about online is that you get to waive the activation charge, it has free shipping, and you can charge it to your account. Makes it much easier if you need to return in within 30 days.
Going to the sprint store after work
from my phone duh
I did last week, 3 looooooooong days left.
Ordered mine today from the First to Buy Event also, here's hoping a get a package tomorrow!
I am on the fence right now about the 3D. With GB on my Evo, I am not sure it is worth upgrading to it just yet. I think there is a couple more phones coming down the pike in about a month or so that might be better choices for me. Besides, EVO 3D does not have a kickstand! LOL

I tried calling a few stores and none of them said I could pick it up at a store today. I ordered it online at 8am Eastern time and spoke to "order support" or something a half hour later and was told that my order has been received by the warehouse, there is stock, and my phone is awaiting pick up from UPS. She said they always ship using the fastest available service, so I'm hoping it arrives here at work tomorrow.
I just came to comment that "of" is oddly capitalized in the topic.
I didn't order because I don't think the 3d is worth full retail price if I have a working evo. Waiting for the next generation of phones or maybe the galaxy s2 if it turns out to have amazing developer support like this evo.
I'm waiting to see the fury that will be unleashed on the forum this weekend once this phone is in full circulation. Waiting to see if a couple of the issues get worked out first.
In the meanwhile I have a fully functional recently updated Evo!!!!!
NEXUS 3!!!!!!!!!!
Htc cha cha!!!!

O and I ordered mine last night at about 11:40 PM CST. Excited to know that I was near the front of the line so if they are true to the fastest method of shipping should get it tomorrow!
Flashed stock Sense yesterday to my Evo. Couldn't STAND it. Can't imagine no root, no CM7, no nandroid, no custom ROMs... and being stuck with Sense, improved or not.
Though I've preordered, I'm skipping this one. Anybody want my spot in line at Radio Shack on Friday?
Me and my bro get ours on Launch day. We have upgrades and we're trading in our Evos. I'm going to miss my e4G.

gl with w/e you choose. I don't mind running GoLauncher, ADW or LauncherPro over Sense. This phone is more than fast enough anyhow, I don't need AOSP as much. But I will flash it when it becomes available, no rush though.
When you order via telesales, do they charge it to your account? Or do you have to use a card?
I'm really on the fence about this one, especially w/ all the phones that'll be coming out the next couple of months. So I'm either gonna wait a bit & see what happens or I'm gonna wake up on Friday morning tell myself "what am I thinking, I have to get an EVO 3D" and race over to the Radio Shack down the street
Is that Target HTC EVO 4G trade in for the $40 EVO 3D just a lie/rumor??
So many people talking about getting a new Evo 4G from other places, and having them already updated to 2.3.
You are NOT out of luck!! Thought I'd post this for an FYI.
Best Buy seems to be your best shot at a new Evo 4G still on 2.2 Stock. I've gone through 4 now from them (had hardware issues on 2) and all have come out of the box with 2.2.
I asked the CSM helping me to not do anything to the phones...I'd prefer to power em on. Got home, cancelled update...Stock 2.2 ready for Root / Flashin.
If you're in the market for a new Evo 4G...check Best Buy first. With a little polite direction, you should have the same experience.
The Tulsa OK store I frequent had at least 20 or so left in stock...

I just bought one from my local best buy and it was 2.3.3 out of box. It was the last one the store will have also. You are very lucky
Wish I could take mine up there, but I just got one from Sprint this week that they sent me to replace my Epic. Ah well I guess I will have to wait like everyone else for root.
I work for Best Buy and can honestly if anyone gets a 2.2 in DFW, consider yourself lucky. My refurb through the Black Tie Protection came with 2.3.3.
I can say however that my battery is absolutely amazing.
A friend of mine has bought two from bestbuy. First one returned due to software issue and the newest going back to extreme light bleed. Both on 3.70 software. You can get lucky at some bestbuys. I think the more rural ones may have left over stock that has been sitting for a while. Two in a row that are not updated are pretty good odds.
I got an Evo 4G a week ago from BB, brand new out of the box. Had 2.3.3 already installed. I had been thinking of going back and trying to find one with 2.2 and claiming hardware/software issues on one until I find one. This gives me hope.
Do I have to have purchased my evo at best buy to take my evo there for a replacement?

I got 2 Evos at the start of this month, and I didnt know about the 2.3.3 thing so in short both of them, one white and one black were 2.2 and me being a geek updated without researching.
Last friday had to go back with mine because of a small hairline crack the body had around the volume down and of course they said besides that the phone is working and I was ready to fight, but before I even started talking he said, "but you still on your 30 days exchange so if you want to just change it, i can do that" and so I did and this also was 2.2, I said "just activate it, I don't want to update it, cuz mine ran sluggier than my wifes and thats the only difference, she didnt get the update and i did" He was like, ok that makes sense. check it and see if that was your problem...
On my local store they didn't seem to have a shortage or anything, I saw him pulling it out of a nice stock of EVO's.
Same here in NY. My buddy and I got Evos in a local BB Mobile and they both had 2.2 on it. The Rep who was taking care of me almost updated the phones until the manager and I both told her not too. The manager is a personal friend of mine whom I do rooting of devices for. ;-)
I got my Evo about a month ago with 2.2 installed. At the time I was totally unaware that updating would lock me out. Good thing I didn't

I bought mine at the Best Buy in Rockwall, which is a DFW store. They had about 30 with 2.2 and 30 with 2.3 and they gave a wide open choice on it 2 weeks ago.
