Wrong forum....
Not happening
Unfortunately this is not true. The evo is coming out May 24th. Therefor there is no time for a preorder. I am a sprint rep So watch for it soon
I think I might puke
MODS, can we get this guy banned just to make an example out of him?
Please?

dude, calm your b**ls. stop bit***ng, maybe he fu***d up but that isn't for you to whine about. seriously
Confirmed, I'm a Shack employee, we got the memo a couple days ago.
*edit* though I expect it will be a 'pre-order' consisting of the "wireless virtual inventory program" and will probably happen a few days before the official release (if indeed it is May 24). This might not be what most would consider a full blown pre-order. Too early to say.

Why would I do that? He simply posted in the wrong place thinking that Sprint users might be happy to know about this. If we banned every user that posts in the wrong place, about 50% of the member would get banned.

Ok so yesterday I was on craigslist right, and I noticed someone had a Vibrant 4g. I didn't believe it myself, so I decided to meet the guy and see if its true. Sure enough, it was a Vibrant 4g! He told me he got it early? But how? It had the new.brown backing, and a different box. Ffc, stock 2.2.1, and the H data. He wanted 500obo for it.

There was a post in Q&A where someone posted they'd got one early and was posting it on ebay. Most people seem to think it's fake, but if more stories are popping up about this, maybe it's legit...
Yea ibsaw that one but there's was fake, this one was real. I seen it in person.

Haha you might wanna go check your topic in Q&A cause no ones buying it. You've already been reported at least twice to ebay for fraudulent listing. For any future con jobs, try not to advertise your crime to a forum full of people who, EVERY DAY, use the exact phone youre trying to trick us into buying.
Or just, you know, dont be a criminal. But we all know thats useless advice. Once a thief, always a thief.

Look at the thread "Received Galaxy S 4G Early" in Q&A before calling me a douche. If it wasnt obvious enough, I wasnt talking to the OP, I was talking about the guy I quoted.
I did my research, unlike you.
EDIT: Also I dont even believe he was drunk...he may have been, but I believe the misleading auction was completely intentional. If he took the time to unlock it, surely he would have noticed VIBRANT in big bright white letters when you first boot the phone. I think he's just backpedaling since pretty much everyone in his thread called him on his bull****.

that's what i'm hoping. press events are usually reserved for hotly anticipated flagship devices.
not counting the kyocera echo of course
OP, the majority of people in that old thread "In USA: Where to Pre-Order" think this is the Samsung Infuse and not the Samsung Attain yet, in my opinion the AT&T's version of SGS2, because of the first 3 letters. There is no way VZW, Sprint or TMOB are taking that name. Well TMOB could.

So is that it? They're gonna call it the Attain here in the US? And those other names that popped up with it, you think those will be for the other carriers? Do you think they will be any different from one another? But yea I see what you mean, how the first three letters of Attain are ATT.
Lol, anyways, people were also saying it's probably Nexus S for AT&T, but no, who gives a **** about that, we don't care about that one either. Get out, this is SGS2 and we are finally going to get it!

I just hope that doesn't mean T-Mobile is gonna get it before us AT&T users. Although, I don't care as much if it means were getting closer to getting it.
But no, they won't get it first, because they're announcing it for us on May 5th!

I say...
they announce the Infuse release date and throw up some other flagship in there as well.
I hope it's the Samsung Infuse with Dual Core.
But seriously, it's probably just the Infuse we saw back in CES that they're going to announce.

not htcs fault. Its not a buffet, but a made to order device specifically for sprint. sprint cooked up the ingredients list including cyphering the bootloader.

you guys do realize that even the Evo 4G had a locked boot loader right?
It being locked doesn't make it unlockable, the issue would be if it was encrypted, which it is not. Thunderbolt was locked too and now it is unlockable... just give the xda-devs some time and they will unlock it for us.
This is a BIG misconception and something that keeps getting reported as a big issue when in reality is not as big a deal as it is being made to be.

Why is everyone saying they are going to the GSII. What if that is locked. Sprint is the one requesting this not HTC. Notice verizon was the first to do it and now sprint followed. This is the direction the market is going in general. I know this is not fact because I don't personally know but this is a sign that this is where things are going. Tmobile is also getting a locked phone.

AT&T might have awful customer service, but things like this are the reasons I stick around. AT&T seems to be very happy with the sales of the Galaxy devices and is becoming pretty fair with their updates, so it doesn't surprise me that they'll probably get the S4 first. Also, I'm sure that Samsung loves AT&T.

If it is 200 thats even better. Im not sure about lte pricing myself. About to upgrade from s2
I dropped AT&T after 10+ years when they refused to offer Android because they had their noses up Steve Jobs' sphincter.
But I went to T-Immobile which was a real mess.
Am on Verizon now, but will be back to AT&T for the S4 so I can have an unlocked global phone. No more CDMA for me. And there is no way in Hell that I would ever lock myself into a contract. Kind of like playing Russian Roulette just to drive a car you can't really save for.
