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.

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
Free from sprint muhaha

Getting mine at the Sprint store in Houston, also. Specifically, Westheimer and Shepherd.
Just pre ordered mine today... or at least tried to after seeing so many people here doing so.
they said no more pre orders so i got on the waiting list
waiting list was good! they called me to come in at 730 AM at the Radio Shack.
lady there said it was gonna be $250 for the upgrade. Nice.
Just called the best buy and picking up at 9:30 am surprised cuz I was number 25 on the lisar thought I was fin b one of the last ones....
Ok, I am in michigan, and went to the best buy in madison hts. I got the $199 upgrade and the phone was supposed to be shipped yesterday (thursday) and I was supposed to get it today (friday.) No phone yet and it is 6:45pm here. I never got a tracking number or anything. I called best buy and they said I am the 5th person who has called saying the same thing and they have absolutely no answer for me yet and said you will get the phone when you get it. I am wondering if anyone else has had this same problem in their respective areas when doing the $199 upgrade. Looking forward to hearing from you guys.

Overnight shipping bs
Same here i didn't get a confirmation email ,i live in NYC ordered yesterday in the morning they told me its overnight shipping and still inst here yet im going to cancel .
Ordered your GS3 from BB? I feel your pain, never gonna preorder from a 3rd party again. But if you have any info re: BB preorders, post it up here.
I gotta say, my whole reason for preordering through Best Buy was because they were the first to open for preorders. They started accepting preorders on 6.5.12, everyone else the following day, so I surmised that at best I'd get the phone slightly before everyone else or at worst the same time as AT&T. The sad truth is that although I preordered before 99% of the people here, I'll likely be one of the last to get the damn thing.
That being said, I'll never preorder though Best Buy again. They are as wildly uninformed as AT&T but when push comes to shove, BB gets pushed to the side as if somehow it's customers (who's money goes directly to AT&T just the same) aren't as important as those who preordered through AT&T direct. The one's who lose are us, the customers. Lesson learned. If I ever preorder a phone again, rest assured it will be direct from the carrier.
Sorry for the rant, just sucks to see so many people who preordered after I did get their phone, or at least shipping confirmation (with delivery eta 6.21.12) before I even know if my preorder is going to be filled on or before 6.21.12 as stated on my preorder receipt.
I preordered in a Best Buy store and have no reason to think I wont be able to pick my phone up tomorrow.
Yeah...I ordered from Best Buy as well. But ain't quite ready to rush the joint with torches.
We shall see what tomorrow brings.
Two BBs around me both said the phone was coming out tomorrow. So I'll be up and on the phone seeing if I can buy an unreserved one

Do you get shipments overnight, or early morning?
Why not wait a year? I remember all this fuzz a year ago with the GS II. Now you can get a GS II for 99 cents...

I called my local store (Watertown, MA) a little after 10am and they had no idea when the shipment was going to come in. I've also tweeted @BestBuy. I'll post if/when they respond.

Morning shipments. Best buy does not do any inventory things at night. They will arrive in stores via UPS or FedEx.

I pre-ordered mine at Best Buy, my gf works in mobile and just called and word is they haven't got their UPS shipments in yet today(due in any time)but RSS is still showing they should be here today. So I'll wait before I grab my pitchfork.

Yeah...gonna wait until noon to call. Fingers still crossed.
Just went into my best buy store here in frisco, texas. When I arrived the salesman showed me an internal email they received that stated that the pre orders would be closer to july first before they would be filled.
As I was walking out the salesman called me back over to show me a new email they received that said the preorders would be fulfill tomorrow.
Bottomline, the store doesn't have a clue nor does the best buy home office.

Best buy always does that crap I think it's a scam to try to get more preorders to be honest

Just called my local BB (Corpus Christi, TX) and was told the SIII was delayed but hopefully they'll fulfill pre orders this weekend. I was 14 out of 25 pre orders
Mine told me they didn't even have a date for sprint yet lol. I'm going wherever gets it in store first.

Couple guys in the main Sprint pre-orders thread said they received calls from their local Best Buy telling them to expect a call around noon tomorrow to pick up their phone. They were both expecting shipments by tomorrow morning.
Heads up everyone. I just came back from my favorite T-Moble store to see about upgrading to the SIII. They said come back tomorrow. The SIII will be on free after mail in rebate Friday and Saturday only. I do not know what other phones will also qualify as I did not have enough time. Lucky me, right when I can upgrade, the phone I want free. How much better can you get then that? Cheers
Thanks mate is this deal available in London as well if this is true i will get the 4g lte one.
