Engadget is reporting that Sprint has sold out on their initial stock of EVO's for their stores and online, and likely BestBuy and The Shack.
Great news eh?

Every store in Houston sold out within 15 minutes. I was able to convince a best buy employee to give me some poor other guys preorder...

you must have done some pretty serious convincing...
Checked the Sprint link...
Here was the message
"Sorry, this device is so hot we can't keep it on our virtual shelves.
Check back later - more are on their way!"
Man, I just ordered mine yesterday online and it arrived today (free overnight shipping) ...Phew, that was close!
i had called up 3 different sprint stores and this is what i was told
store 1: sold out, will get new shipment either friday or tuesday
store 2: sold out, taking deposit to reserve one (45 people already on list)
store 3: had few in stock (Silver Spring, MD)

Not sure how I did it to be honest. I'm told I come across as very intimidating.. but I was in no way upset, and understanding of the shortage. Next thing I know I see him go to the locked closet...grab one out of the stack and peel someones name off of it..

Radio shack is the only place in lower NH i could get on a pre-order list. Comes in Friday
Good thing I ordered mine Sunday.. i received it earlier today!
Here in Ohio no better, Went to best buy with my buddy, was quoted as Evo shippment tomorrow and now it's been moved to a nice lovely ambiguous "sometime from wednesday to friday" Here's hoping sooner rather than later but oh well. Here's hoping we can survive the great evo shortage of 2010! (*side note* kinda regretting not pre-ordering sooner, I was 8 people into the 2nd batch forcing me to wait an extra week. BAH!)
its good news, i just wished they had more accessories on launch day!
Decided to give in and pick one of these up yesterday. Couldnt find one in stock anywhere. This morning I was prepared to call every Radio Shack in the area. The 1st one I called said someone just took themselves off the list and that they had one available. I put my name on it, and picked it up 20 minutes later.
I have 2 friends that got theirs this same way. I did pre order one for my girlfriend though while I was there and she will be getting it on Friday.
I just got mine today and I had to call 8 or so sprint stores to find one in stock, ends up the store I got mine at had 10 in stock still from the first shipment and they had given a lot of their first order of 300 to other area stores. Once I got there it took them about 2 and a half hours to activate the flippin thing, my voice and 4g connected but my 3g never came up, took them forever to sort it out. They actually had to activate two evos to figure the problem out. I got 2 boxes and goodies out of the deal though, I am in the kc area too.
Which Sprint store was this? Im also in the KC area and have a few friends wondering if anyone has them in stock. Sounds like that store may be worth a shot.
argh its sold out online again!! I can't wait any longer!

I scooped mine up from the studio Sprint store, downtown in the power and light district, like 14th and grand, also I got a call from the Sprint store that I was on a waiting list at and they had one for me, i was number 15 I believe.

I was going to order it online last night and then dumb me second guessed myself and decided to see if i could get lucky in a store today. Now I realize that was a very stupid idea.
how are some of you getting overnight delivery; i placed my order around 12pm PST yesterday and i still haven't received a delivery notification or any updates; it still says waiting in the warehouse for processing; this is annoying me since it's supposed to be overnight delivery
So, I was unsuccessful getting the Transformer from Amazon/Best Buy in the 3 minutes it was available online.
I went and "preordered" it at JR Music just in case (shipping was cheap, no tax for me since I'm in California) as a backup if I don't ever get one in store anywhere else.
Fry's online in-store check is actually pretty ok.
I kept checking every day. I'm in Southern California. I would see Anaheim have 1, then hours later, none, then City of Industry have one. Etc..etc.. First time I saw this was Tuesday night, I called and they "confirmed" they didn't have any.
Anyways starting Wednesday, whenever I see the Transformer "available" at a store, I went and ordered it for in store pickup (they don't ship from stores). You are required to put a credit card, but it's not charged.
Within minutes I'd get an email the Transformer IS NOT AVAILABLE.
Fast forward to today (Saturday 4/30) around 1am I check online and I see a different store (San Diego) has it in stock, this is the first time I seen the website show San Diego.
I go ahead and order it.
Come 9am I get an email saying my order is READY FOR PICKUP!
I go ahead and call them to make sure it is available and ON HOLD for ME, since I'm driving 2 HOURS to get to San Diego Fry's!!! Called up, she said she got 4 in that day and one is definitely set aside for my online order.
Get there around 1pm, went to register, and got it. I asked the lady if there were any extras and if there are if I could buy 1-2 more (1 for friend, 1 to sell). She came back and said no, all gone.
Anyways I'm happy. Ordered the official Sleeve from Newegg and it'll be a 1 day ship too (they're close by). Can't wait to buy the keyboard now!
There you have it. If you guys have a Fry's near by, keep checking their website for in-store availability. If you see it available, PLACE THE ORDER (I placed a total of 6 different orders). If it's not available, your order is cancelled. If it's available, you'll get notification for pick up! Hurry and get it otherwise they will cancel it. When you get there, you can pay however you like, don't have to use the CC you used for the online order.
The website doesn't always tell the truth. My store showed ZERO, but then I called, and they had 3. I had someone put it on hold for me. I'd call, or just go by, don't rely on the website!

Why I love the iPhone
I too have had a rough time getting the tablet. I started out placing an order with Datavision. They literally have the worst CS ever! Anyway, it said they were in stock and I went to check out and then it was out of stock. I called them to ask what happened and he said "Don't worry about it, its sold out anyway"-Thanks man .
Anyway I canceled it within a couple days. I kept checking everywhere. Finally got on newegg and put the damn thing in my cart and next thing you know they wouldnt let me checkout cuz it was already gone! I was so upset. I gave up! So i went to work on Friday and I was already having a good day so i thought i would just check amazon anyway...turns out there was a guy selling his transformer for $426 shipped and it was in "like-new condition". I neglected my work for a good 10 minuts and I just ordered it immediately! I didnt care that my boss was watching me shop online (i gave them my two week notice anyway... so suck it!). I was so freakin happy!
Then suddenly, my world came crashing down. The dudes account was "under review" because he was a first time seller on amazon. I was like NOOOOOO!!! So he couldnt accept my payment. I took a risk (sorta), i said to him, ill just paypal you the money! So i paypal'd him $420 and he shipped it using fedex 2-day delivery! so in the end...im getting it TUESDAY! im so excited i cannot wait! the best part of this whole thing...when i asked him why he is selling it....
i couldn't get it to tether with my iPhone!
i started laughing!
FINALLY, IPHONE, I HAVE A REASON TO LOVE YOU!!!

Hah, so that was you that bought it!
I saw that too, it was "used for 5 hours". I saw he was a first time seller too so I didn't go for it. Then a few hours later when I went to check Amazon, it was gone (You probably tried to buy it) lol.
Anyways glad you got yours from him and didn't get ripped off!
I just checked my Frys and they have it in stock! Although it doesn't say how many units they have in stock.

It may or may not be really in stock.
My suggestion, ORDER IT and just wait for a yes or no. If you're lucky it's' a yes.
They're closed right now so you won't get an answer till morning.
Downers Grove Fry's
As of 09:30 this am - they had 2 Docks and 3 16 GB Tablets.
Spent an hour at the store as they tried to locate them.
On sales person said that they did not have them for sure - I showed them on their site that they show poisitive inventory - manager looked it up and sure enough - 4 tablets and 3 keyboard/docks.
Picked up 1 of each - presents for my daughter.

There are 2 of them in metro Atlanta.
I called 2 Best Buys in my area to see when they'll receive the 10.1. Neither of them knew when. Are they just incompetent or is there a delay coming?!
its because they dont want to get bugged tomorrow... be patient
That's what I considered as well, but I asked them to check their computers. After they "checked" they transferred me to another Best Buy saying "maybe they'll know".
What is this area of yours? I wonder if the tab will be available everywhere on friday.
DC/MD area. I'm probably going to go tomorrow to ask them in person. We'll see how that goes. Should be, it did say nationwide release.
Best buy associates are notorious morons, not unheard of that they wouldn't know what is going on.

I pre-ordered the 32gb metallic grey one from the BB in Waldorf, MD back on the 9th.
I got sent from the cell phone section to the computer section and back a few times before someone figured out what to do but yeah...they finally got me in there. They tried to check to see what models they'd have in stock and nothing showed up anywhere so yeah... I'm really hoping when I go in Friday to pick mine up that they actually have it, otherwise I'll be trying to find some place that does.
Got passed around from customer service to mobile to computers to the website trying to preorder with no luck. I was told I could do the preorder online and pick it up launch day at the store instead of having it shipped. Web site told me to screw myself and only get it shipped to my house for extra $... After all that I talked to the manager. I gave the SKU to the her to look up delivery times. There is 0 for the entire state of Washington for the foreseeable future.
The website now lists 6/17-6/24 as the arrival time.
Getting pissed.
Went to 2 Best Buy stores in NY and the employees actually new about the Tab and confirmed Friday as the release date.

I'm going to Virginia Beach Friday so I was trying to get my tablet 10am when BB opens so I can use it on the ride down. Now I'm not even sure if that'll happen, great! But it seems not many people are pre-ordering or are even aware of this tablet coming out so odds are, you can probably go into any BB and get one, if they receive any. I may just do that I'm in Virginia Beach.
My local store already had the cases in stock (at least the folio) so I'm fairly confident they will have them Friday. They also said that there is some special display that is being set up for them on Sunday so definitely by then. I preordered so the thing better be there Friday. Haha.
I can assure you that the your local Best Buy will have them in stock Friday. If you haven't pre-ordered (tell the associate to pull the form from ETK) make sure you get there about 15mins prior to open or even earlier for your best chance of getting one.

I am not sure if there will be shortage of supply, but BB still had plenty of white 16GB's at NYC Union Sq location, and according to the sales associates there it's been selling like cupcakes.
When I was there to get mine a couple asked about it thinking it was an iPad2, and ended up buying the GT!

yes bestbuy didnt seem to know what they were talking about when i called. I decided to drive the 2 hrs to new york best buy to pick one up early
strangely after only having the tablets since the 8th they had quite a few oben box tabs which im not sure is a good sign but i was able to save 50 dollars and youd never know it was a return still had the factory plastic all over almost like whoever bought it returned it without even giving it a try
FYI...best buy in pentagon city has about 20 in stock. Just picked one up!!

Lol I tried picking mine up at FS and they couldn't sell it to me despite me having it reserved. Street date is Nov 8th or some BS apparently. The guy had the box in his hand right in front of me. Not sure what Samsung is trying to achieve here by delaying launch by another week. Ugh.
Also it looks like there's only the white 32 gb model initially. Too bad, I wanted the black
Just a tip to those who live near the border. Amazon USA is selling the white 16gb for $549 plus a free $50 Amazon gift card. Its a pretty good deal and I was able to take advatange of it. Also, you get perks worth $600 upon registering the tablet. I dont think the Canadian model offers the same perks.

I got the same hassle from Future Shop, no "I do not care we told you it is available and you can pick it up, I do not care you went out of your way for nothing" .... oh I was so mad.
Went back to work empty handed, ordered it online and it is on the truck today... coming here.

I just bought the last one in calgary today bro!!!
didn't realize it was released until last night at about midnight, woke up this morning and called everywhere. the best buy stores ALL had their stock mis-shipped, so NONE of them got it in. as for futureshop, the only one that had any left was the deerfoot meadows store, which thankfully is only about a ten minute drive from my house. called, got the guy to put it away for me, and tore down there as fast as i could, went in and bought it immediately (after having them run around looking for it because the sales guy didn't put it on hold properly, he just hid it inside the lockup where their normal stock is...so i could have even had it sold out from under me if i wasn't lucky).
i ended up buying the total protection plan coverage because it covers up to two free replacements if i break it, so i figure worst case, it breaks, great i just saved 300 bucks on the second tablet (since the plan cost me 300 instead of its usual 360) and then if i break it again, perhaps days before the end of the warranty and when they only have the next generation note available, then i guess i get it replaced with the new one
also the warranty is over the counter for breakage, they don't make you wait and wait and wait.... you simply bring it in, they see it's broken, and they go get you a new one. if it's just needing repair, like for the battery, which is covered for two years also, then you actually get a loaner note while yours is being fixed...pretty damn cool!!!!
anyways, i just installed the latest australia firmware onto it, since that is the newest of any available, and i just rooted it....starting to really enjoy it now. now i just hope someone comes out with at least a rom or two for it, or i might have to try my hand at making one, although i've never made one how hard can it be? lol...
I just spent 20min waiting outside a T-Mobile store before it opened, the doors finally opened, I tell the rep I would like to buy a Note 4 and to my shock she said "we didn't get any". I called every other store in a 30mi radius and NOBODY has them. So make sure you call before you waste your time driving to the store.
This is all very ironic since I decided not to preorder so I could be one of the first people to get one on launch day I am pretty ticked so I filed a formal complaint, and encourage others to do the same (being polite of course). Stores are suppose to get shipments days in advance of a major product launch.

Its true. I live in NW Houston and working in SE Houston/Pasadena area so I called a lot of stores near home and work and about half of them said that Note 4 is sold out (calling within 9am-930am) and the rest said they are still waiting for the shipment and some said they only do store orders and directly shipping it to my home address. One store told me to hurry up in the afternoon because they are only getting 4 units. WTF?
Wow, only 4? I wonder if Samsung is to blame or if it's T-Mobile. Or both. I haven't heard of any other carriers having supply issues yet.
Thank you for lesson learned. I have it since this past Monday already.

I've never gone to a non corporate store to get a phone. I know there are some things 3rd party stores can't do. It's kind of funny I actually work in mobile sales for a major company but we don't sell T-Mobile so I have to go get one at a store like everyone else. Our store actually only had 3 to sell as of last night when I got off(the rest of the shipment we got was all in store pickups for preorders) and I mentioned to management how BS that was.

Now that we know, ordering at the store is not it. Now you can tell UPS to hold your package while its on its way and you just pick it up at the service center. Everyone that live near KY gets free upgrade to next day air.

I played with the Note 4 for a bit but going to probably wait and see how I like the Nexus 6. The store only had a few left of the 8 they got.
I called 10 stores this morning in my area for 2 white (for a friend - got mine Wed). 7 had sold out already, 2 will not get their shipments in until after 3pm and 1 had 2 left. Unfortunately, they won't hold them so he's gonna try his luck at those 2 stores since the last store is an hour and half drive and likely won't be stocked when he gets there.
From what the stores told me, most of them got 2 white and 2 black and received their shipment later than expected but still sold out quickly. I'm surprised - they had so many s5 on launch day but I guess the Note 4 is a different breed!
same here some stores hadnt gotten the shipment yet. but i found one that did so i got mine.

Guess samsung just wants to "sell out"
So much for Samsung spending millions on marketing and promoting their phones only to mess up their store launch day
Well I dont even know if this is Samsung's or Tmo's fault.
Oh, there one store 60 miles away from me expecting the delivery in 30 mins. Crossing my fingers that I'll be able to get one 2 hrs from now. Cant leave work yet
all the other stores said to call or go back at 11 am to 2 pm to see if they already had them.
