(Mashable) -- Were you still deciding whether or not to pick up that shiny new HTC EVO 4G smartphone?
You may be out of luck for some time, as Boy Genius reports that Sprint's new flagship Android handset is entirely sold out across the U.S.
We knew that the device was shattering Sprint sales records right and left, and now it appears that demand has been so blisteringly hot that the EVO is actually unavailable pretty much everywhere.
If you manage to find a secret stash of these phones or to blackmail convince any Sprint employees to let you in on the next available restock date, be sure to send us a tip.
Meanwhile, the HTC EVO 4G is neck and neck with the iPhone 4 in our weekly Faceoff Series (be sure to cast your vote if you haven't yet).
If you were one of the perhaps sizable demographic waiting to see Apple's latest phone before picking up your next smartphone of choice, are you bummed that the EVO is currently unavailable?
My local sprint store said they're getting 2 or 3 in every morning.
I would definitely check with Sprint, Radio shack, and BestBuy in your area.
I was in the local radioshack last monday, 6/7, and they let me reserve a phone for 50 dollars down for their next shipment coming this friday, 6/11. AND they're opening early for me to come in at 8:30AM to switch my number over and everything.
I just ordered mine from SprintPCS.com 2 days ago and had no problems.
They're available again on Sprint.com.
Radioshack is still taking preorders through the 14th of June. One shipment is coming in on the 11th (this Friday) to stores across the country, and the other is TBD. Most likely not more than two weeks.
Just placed an order for my second evo through Sprint telesales. They said it was in stock and should ship within 2 days. They only gave 2 days as a backlog cuz of all the orders they need to fulfill.
I just hope BB or RS has one on the 1st when my upgrade is.
I wonder how long before sprint start selling refurb ones. Knowing that most of the apple fanboys just wanted a toy to play with to the iphone 4 comes out
Ordered mine last night at 2am and Got confirmation today at 530pm.
Can't wait.

http://shop.sprint.com/NASApp/onlinestore/en/Action/DisplayPhones?phoneSKU=APA9292KT As of 6:24 EST it's available now on sprint's site.
Just placed my order at sprint.com... They didn't have that stupid message up this time about it being so hot they can't keep it on their virtual shelves.
Has anyone ordered the phone at amazon.co.uk?
Mine has an estimated dispatch date of 4-5 may and an estimated delivery date of 6-9 may (standard delivery to Belgium, 1-2 days). It has not been dispatched yet.
I have placed my order on 15 april for an estimated dispatch date of 30 april, updated about two weeks ago to 4-5 may.
I would appreciate it if you would share and update the delivery status in this topic.
same for me, frenetically hitting the refresh button on my amazon.co.uk page... Mine says dispatch to be expected on 5/5...

Same for me... I got a thrill the other night when Amazon told me my item had been dispatched, but they were just talking about the cover I had ordered for the phone
I've come home from work and keep checking my email every two minutes, but no sign of a dispatch yet. I fear it's going to be next week before I get my hands on this phone!
Amazon quote
"Please be advised, although we do have stock of the item "Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II 16 GB Sim Free Smartphone" on hand, we are not able to dispatch it to you until the official release date, May 06, 2011. Many manufacturers restrict retailers from selling or dispatching their products until the official release date."

Thanks, I guess thats a reply from amazon? Anyway, I guess we can wait a day or two, no one needs the gadget right now.
Or...
What am I saying, bring it on, amazon!!!
So delivery will be Monday at the earliest then?
Stupid weekend getting in the way...
From the amazon uk forum, looks like we are not going to have the GS2 in a while.
I received the following from customer support a short while ago...
Hello,
I'm sorry for the unexpected delay of your order. I have researched the availability of "Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II 16 GB Sim Free Smartphone" and learned that its release has been delayed.
As soon as the item has been released, we'll be able to dispatch it to you. As per our standard policy, we do not charge you for items until they enter the dispatch process, so you will not be charged for this item until it is about to be sent.
In addition to a wide selection of items, one of our aims at Amazon.co.uk is to provide a convenient and efficient service; in this case, we have not met that standard. Once again we are sorry for any inconvenience caused by this issue and hope this will not discourage you from shopping with Amazon.co.uk in the future.
Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

I've no problem with Amazon if they've been let down by a supplier.
However, if a customer support employee can research to find that their release date is now obsolete, why are Amazon still advertising the 6th May as the release date on the product page?
I received an email from customer support a couple of days ago which stated that the phone will be in stock before the 6th May release date.
On the product page itself, someone posted an email from customer support saying that the phone was in stock, but they just weren't allowed to dispatch it until the 6th May release date.
I repeat, the delay itself is not something that is upsetting me. These things happen. However, the misguided information certainly is an issue. I expected a lot better from Amazon...
We regret to inform you that your order will take longer to fulfill than originally estimated. Our supplier has notified us that there is a delay obtaining stock for the following items you ordered on April 14 2011.
So who's going to wait for Amazon? Who's going to cancel their order and try somewhere else?
I'm thinking I'll be heading into town this weekend to see if I can buy one on the high street...
got the same message and I'm thinking of cancelling
Well, I did cancel my order and placed a new one at Handtec... lets see, they talk about shipping on 9 or 10th of may...
I was going to cancel, but then I received this e-mail. I think I'll wait just a little longer I guess.
Please be advised that we have a revised delivery date for the items you ordered on April 15 2011 (Order #202-6217273-4883543).
"Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II 16 GB Sim Free Smartphone"
Estimated arrival date: May 10 2011 - May 11 2011
I've also had the same message from Amazon. I've now cancelled the order and have now ordered the phone from play.com
In stock apparently and £499.99 with free delivery. It's been waiting to go to dispatch since 8:30am.
I will probably get the sorry sir, it wasn't really in stock please check again in a couple of weeks
in germany you can get the i9100 right now on amazon.de for 599,-€
in stock and already dispatched, without simlock
I've just received an email to say that my new delivery estimate is 9th-10th May.
Hmm...
Yaldy! "We are preparing this item for dispatch"!
Amazon uk delivery due 7th May
I had the email from Amazon UK at 02:10 this morning stating the expected delivery date of today would not be met. I orderd on 28th April and I am an Amazon Prime Customer.
This morning I debated cancelling my order, but left it thinking a few days delay would not be too bad.
At 15:11 I received an order dispatch email with tracking number showing the phone had been handed over to Royal Mail at 14:34. Expected delivery is Saturday May 7th. I am glad i did not hit he cancel button too soon.
The bad news is it's being delivered to work so won't get to play until Monday.
Mike
Mine got dispatched last night and is expected to deliver on 12 May.
I was curious about the release date in best buy and Verizon stores of the note 4.Since I seen 17th and 23rd.. so I tweeted both on Twitter about this question. and I got a surprising response..

It's the 23rd. Why would Verizon advertise the 23rd if it wasn't? Nothing to gain and they actually lose to every other US carrier that's getting it the 17th. We just need to accept this already
The only solace of being a week late is that that time could be used to root the other phones.
In due time we will have it, its getting close.

A number of the Korea and China market devices have already been rooted; however, there's no guarantee those methods will even work for the Verizon device until its released and people have an opportunity to fiddle with it.
Also, right on VZW's site it says the 23rd. No reason to doubt that. There's no requirement for multiple carriers to release a device all on the same day, no matter how annoying that might be.
I agree that the rooting of those Asian phones may be of no help to us.
The 23d is two weeks away! The store has ads pushing note edge.
T-Mobile started sending those who pre ordered, text messages that their devices have shipped.
why dont you go for t mobile rather than verizon? they already giving who had pre ordered.
I was more curious of people on this forum stating that best buy said they will have all carriers on the 17th ..

Yep. When I pre ordered at my BB, they told me that it will be available for pick up on the 17th.

This was on the BB Website... Nothing on the Verizon Note
I pre ordered my Note 4 through Verizon, and when I called and spoke with a Verizon Rep, I inquired about the release date of the Galaxy Note 4. After he looked into his computer, he informed me that the release date of the phone was Oct. 17th... and that the date on my Pre Order receipt which was listed as Oct. 23, was in fact the latest ETA in which I may receive my device. But I've also been hearing rumors that the US could get its shipment a few days earlier than the 17th... I hope those rumors turn out to be true
Considering that Samsung prints an exclusion for Verizon, and states everything prior to the 23rd is a PRE order, its not likely they are showing up until then.
Other carriers will have it on the 17th, so we have to wait.

I have faith. Even as I ordered in store the guy told me they give that date out just to cover themselves. He seemed very confident I would receive it sooner. I'll only know when I notice they charge my card for the remaining balance I have after using my wifes $200 promo from her iphone 6.
I finally got my pre-order done through Best Buy local store after much hassle and run-around (see my other posts in the Best Buy Promotion... what is going on thread).
Anyhow as of yesterday when I completed the pre-order in person and purchased the $50 gift card, I was specifically told they were getting ALL pre-orders in on the 17th and expect it then.
With what all I've been through with a lot of mis-information mainly based on their trade-in policy and pre-order availability in the past week and a half, I'm not holding my breath for that date in reality. :silly:

Rumors eh? No offense, but rumors from who? Be happy if it doesn't get pushed back right before release like it did in the UK.
Best Buy and Verizon have a date and that is 10/23. Several stores each and same answer. Ditto for customer service, so not sure why people would think at this current time no confirmed date and it ain't this week.

because people want to wish their phones would come early then get upset when it's not here the 17th and start badmouthing verizon because of it despite the fact verizon never once said the 17th and always stuck to the 23rd lol
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
That is true. The only date I have heard from Verizon is 10/23 and Best Buy are now saying the same thing. My guess is some BB staff and customers assumed that since the other devices are around 10/17, must be the same for VZW.
Verizon has never deviated from 10/23 and Best Buy had no date until last week. Ditto for the $200 terms that specify contract-only for the Best Buy offer. That popped up early last week too.
The Galaxy Note 4 goes Live on Oct 17 for all carriers in store. Verizon ships the Note 4 on Oct 23. Verizon confirmed this in September.
There has been a lot of people confused about the Galaxy Note 4's release date for Verizon Wireless. The Galaxy Note 4 will go live on Oct 17 in stores for ALL carriers including Verizon Wireless. Verizon Wireless will be shipping for those who ordered online the Galaxy Note 4 on Oct 23. Verizon has confirmed this in September and online posts all point to what is stated. In store 17, Mail by 23.

Somebody needs to tell BB and VZW they are selling the N4 on the 17th instead of their own date of the 23rd that is listed in both systems POS.

WorstBuy told me my pre-ordered Note 4 would be in store for pickup this Friday, the 17th.
Not holding my breath though.
Since when has the in store date changed from the 23rd, recently?
I think the peeps are trying to will it as so
Nope. It's the 23rd.

Well if you work for verizon then answer why in the hell is there a preorder to begin with? I would rather walk in the morning and then pick up the phone then to wait another week for mail.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
A guy in the other preorder post said he was a former manager at a VZW store and is still in contact with the people who work there. They said preorders will arrive by the 17th, that is what the regional sales manager said. Obviously there is conflicting information. Hopefully the 17th predictions are correct! Just give us our damn phones already

i know people who work for verizon wireless. they are NOT officially selling the Galaxy Note 4 on Friday October 17, 2014.
and I used to run a VZW store, so I know some people, and yeah, they're confirming this. it's not going to be there the 17th.
Does anyone know why these releases are always such a mess? Why I'm pre ordering a device without actually knowing when its coming out? Its beyond ridiculous

october 23rd.
verizon has NEVER ONCE stated otherwise!
people like OP are going around trying to get people's hopes up so they're riled up when the 17th comes and goes with no damn phone.
since pre-order in september, verizon's website has stated 10/23. that's literally DAY ONE. it's NEVER changed. idk why people would think otherwise; verizon has released phones later than other carriers for the past 4 years. S3, S4, Note 2, Note 3.

Perhaps more to the point, does anybody know why people either lie or talk out of their a$$ since do not really know but guess? THAT is how all the BS takes hold as "fact". Some BB staff, VZW staff and
forum posters making BS stew. Fantasy Phoneball.

How can something be pushed back when Verizon always stated 10/23?? People took a generic Samsung statement about a "live" date of 10/17 and presumed Verizon would break character for an Android launch. They are always late to the party and never said 10/17. Two weeks ago I was told by both Verizon and BB 10/23. Nothing got changed but reality setting in
Always a Dumb and Dumber million to one chance
I called my local BB today to to see what they would say. I was told that Verizon likea to make sure all the bugs are out before they release it. So they like to release it later to make sure its perfect.... haha...

This article say exactly the opposite. It will NOT be available in Verizon stores until the 23rd.
I bet you don't see many posts from hovscorpion come Friday.
Besides Tmobile stating a Nov 12 release date, the forbes article here pretty much cinches the Nov 12th date by stating thats when the actual review embargo lifts. There is a small chance some preorders might arrive a day or two before that, but realistically the 12th date is a solid release day. I don't think google will give a huge chunk of average joes their N6 before the embargo date, if actual journalist can't review it until the 12th I doubt they want the joes putting out reviews instead.
Its because TMobile releases it on Nov 12, after which point there's point of an NDA. It doesn't mean other carriers will have it on the 12th. So the article really doesn't tell us anything.

Others carriers are up in the air, but Im speaking purely of the "preorders" (yes I got one!) or phones from the play store, Nov 12 seems to definitely be the date
We already have threads on Release dates.
