Not sure why they ordered so few but T-Mobile USA retail stores have already sold out of the HD2. I was at the store at 9AM and they sold out by 9:30!
I guess they didn't realize how popular it would be.
Odd I picked mine up at 12:30ish at Wal-Mart and was the first to purchase it... Its $148.88 at Wal Mart btw!
T-mo's logistic department has probably underestimated the demand for that phone in some areas of the US...maybe they weren't expecting such a high popularity for a device that doesn't have a bitten apple engraved on the back
I wouldn't be surprised as well if they wanted to sell out to make the phone look better. I bought it at a low traffic store who only got 6 and they didn't have enough for everyone waiting outside. I got mine though.
there are two tmobile stores near me, only four blocks apart. one got 8 and the other 15. i got the second to last one at the store that had 8, some people ahead of me bought more than one. the poor people that weren't buying hd2's were stuck in line for at least half an hour cuz it was taking so long to process the hd2 orders!
My local store got about 150...and sold out.
Then again, my local store is also the closest store to Microsoft's campus, so that's not entirely surprising.
I bought 2 of them just to sell to people in my area when they ran out to make a lil profit. Im using my Telstra 9193
If you're still looking for one, try your locak RadioShack! I know not all the stores in our area sold theirs yet.
I wanted to buy in corp store, but it took me almost 30 minutes and finally gave up (I had to go to school).
I can wait though.
i wanted to die today , the store was insanely packed my employees didn't even take a break , this launch was huge my store got a hand full of phones but sold out quickly, we had about 20 people waiting at 10am when we opened our doors , should have more by tomorrow anyone in miami interested in a hd2 visit my store i should have more tomorrow, 17748 nw 57th ave , miami lakes fl 33015
Don't tell me it's sold out nationwide today because the situation is so out of control.
Nope, not sold out nation wide, Abilene, Texas only has one tmo store in the Mall and it had a few. No one was even there looking at it except me... for like an hour... but still may have to wait to see what iphone "4" offers before I decide to switch from att to tmo, etc..

I was very unhappy that I drove all the way to Miami Lakes (I was told they still had a few) from Pines and the girl told me she just sold the last one. I was pissed! How can T-Mobile launch a phone they want to be an Iphone killer and not keep up with demand?
I ordered two from customer care over the phone but now I have to wait for delivery.
got mine at 12... but they couldnt give it to me servers were too damn loaded... so i went back at 3 and it worked!
My local store (fairly busy area) sold out in 5 minutes. The time it took 3 employees to ring up 4 people. Coulda told us sooner that it was the last one lol.
Should have just stayed home and done the online thing like I ended up doing
I bought two of them at my local store; one for me and one for my wife. They had a waiting list that they started on Saturday and sold all of them (they got 25) from the pre-order list. Only those people who were on the pre-order interest list got them. BOGO on an upgrade yielded two HD2's for $199.00. You can't beat that.
All tmobile stores in Minneapolis/St Paul area sold out by 3 PM. I watched the last one get sold and unfortunatly it wasn't to me. I have found an authorized dealer who says they havn't gotten theirs yet. As soon as I get the call saying they are stocked I'll post.
They pulled the phone from Tmobile Employee orders already as well.

You don't happen to live in San Antonio.
Because that's what they told me at the T-mobile store in La Cantera Mall. They apparently were suppose to receive 22 but only received 6. My brother in law got one, but I didn't and they aren't even sure when the next shipment is.
It is possible they decreased numbers in all America to increase interest.
i came
i saw
i bought
Just got back from making the rounds to 4 sprint stores.
Two each corp stores/normal outlets.
At the one (corp) store I use they said that even if paying full price....ie, no upgrade no contract, they were only getting 10 each at the stores.
As I traveled to the other stores they told me without me mentioning the 10 per store thing, that they would only be getting 10 units.
My store guy says to go to Best Buy and get one and then come back and he will activate it and throw in a few accessories.
They ALL said that the big box stores would be getting more than the sprint stores would be getting.
I know this might not make those who have an upgrade eligibility available to them, but those like me who will be paying full price might need to know.
That's it.

You must live in the middle of nowhere, because the big sprint stores out my way (Baltimore) are getting way more than 10. The closest one to my house said 200 atleast on launch day.
Where do you live?
I checked at my local Sprint store yesterday. They said that they had no idea how many Evo's they would have. She said it could be 5 or 20. I'm going to another store tomorrow to see what they tell me.

Oh ****, dude. I'm in Greenville right now too. Where did you ask? I'm planning on getting mine from the Haywood Rd store. Let me know your results.
I'm just outside Chicago, NW 'burbs.
1 of the stores is a repair/tech center, they all said the same thing and I didn't say anything about numbers till they did!
But it would be hard to believe that ANY sprint store gets more than 20, that number of 200 sounds just bragish by the store clerk.
Best Buy in Naperville Illinois, states they will have enough for Pre-Orders with a cut off date for guaranteeing them of 28th this month.
I Went in some big sprint dealers in my local area in New Jersey. They all said that they wont know how many they would be getting. But they know whoever pre-order will most deff get theres before those paying full price or upgrade with no pre-order.
Most likly doing pre-orders on phones like this. They send in how many pre orders they got and just order that many. Same with the palm pre. people had to wait 2-3 weeks before they got another shipment in of palm pres.
Like the user said above i think they would just get about 10-20 and half of those or most will be for pre-orders. If those people dont pick they order up with in 2 days. then its just a first come first serve thing
Today I went to a Sprint store that's by my work (scouting a "plan B" store in case the one by my house runs out) and asked the following:
Q: Are you taking pre-orders for the EVO
A: No.
Q: Will you be opening early on the 4th?
A: No. 9AM like usual. (the one by my house IS opening early)
Q: How many phones will be here on the 4th?
A: Not sure but if you get here before noon you will probably get one. Probably not if you wait until 7PM.
Q: Really? Do you anticipate a long line when you open?
A: At the Palm Pre release there were 15 people already in line when I opened.
Q: Any advice?
A: (Laughs)If it ends up being like the Palm Pre release, which had as much buzz before it as the EVO, it will be crazy for a couple of hours and then dead.
If you come here around 11AM or noon there will probably be no wait.
So, it sounds like there's going to be more than 10 phones there on the 4th. This is a small store that's kind of off the beaten path so I imagine the larger stores will have more.
I've also got a guy at a Radio Shack that said he will put one aside for me if I call him in the morning of the 4th. He made it seem like I had nothing to worry about. I think I'm (sort of) covered but I am still worrying and obsessing about it
HTC's next super-phone should have a time machine built in to get me to the next upgrade.
yeah the store b y me pretty much said the same thing. the manager said around 100 phones. they are opening an hour early. he said come around noon and there should be no wait. he said sprint orders phones from numbers from recent launch dates. he said when the palm pre released the store got 90 phones and they were sold out by the end of the day. he said the evo has got a lot more attention so it should be around 100 phones this store will get. oh yeah, no pre orders.
watzone69: I checked 2 stores in the Pflugerville area this weekend with much the same list of questions...same replies. Come before the end of the day, should be ok.
Radioshack where I live said they are getting 10 phones plus the number of preorders they get.
Sprint is anticipated a large order. If you call most of the large stores they will not be taking pre-orders not because of the lack of interest. They are not taking pre-orders because they will most likely have enough to feed the frenzy for the first 4-6 hours.
The Droid Incredible was the same way. There wasn't a long line but more so of a steady pace that last the whole day. It was gone the next. Now nationally backordered.
Just get in a little early or call on June 3rd and make nice with a manager and tell them you would really like one on June 4th. I did that with the Incredible and they held one for me. I just got them to talk about the phone, how business, do you like the phone, etc. Then they said - "Hey look I will hold one for you, give me your name".
Don't spend your wheels worrying about it. You have to remember there are Best Buys, Radio Shacks, Sprint Stores and Independent resellers as well. Lot's of ways to get one.
The Radio Shack I went to said they haven't even had any inquiries about it. After I pre-ordered mine he said he would call the district manager and make sure they had it for me.
sold out in virgina bb
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=pcat17006&type=page&skuId=9895819&_requestid=133906
the sprint store took my name and phone number about three weeks ago, and they called me this morning as promised to tell me the evos would be in tomorrow and I could finalize my preorder giving them my credit card number over the phone, but since I work nearby I decided to stop in. They wrote down my credit card number on the waiting list form. It looked like there were about 15 people preordered at this store. He said they expected to get 100+ phones but ended up only getting about 60. So apparently there will be about 45 available for people who line up outside. He said they open at 8 but will have employees in early to activate phones for the preorder customers. He said stop in any time, walk past the line and find him and he will help me. He also sold mea gel case for $15 which I'm "not allowed to show anyone" so I won't they had three other cases - the silver-ish bodyglove one, a hard plastic white one, and a pouch type one that totally covers the phone. The car charger I bought is just a generic sprint one for whatever phone. They said they got about 30 or 40 cases in. Someone was in the store hooking up the store evo phone when I was in there. So, if anyone arond seattle wants an evo you might be able to get one in the morning here (44th/148th streets I think, with a scottrade office next door) considering the best buy doesn't carry any sprint phones. There is also a radio shack right next door to the sprint store. Good luck!
So I go to check my order status at BB to see if it shipped late yesterday or last night and it says "Status - Back Ordered".
WTF!!!
Maybe I should just tell Sammy to go pound sand! I already have some concerns about them and their promises.
My order now says "Being fulfilled. Usually ships in 1-2 days."
Dang it - I was hoping to cancel and run down to BB store and look for stock.
Oh well.

I guess that's the good news, I can run down to the store and check. Or at least call first thing this am.
lucky i have one close to my job that has them available. taking an early lunch to pick it up.
I pre-ordered mine earlier this past weekend. BestBuy claimed they weren't going to ship them until today. So I canceled my order. Went online last night & purchased it for in store pickup. Got an Email about 30 minutes ago saying that my order is ready for pickup. Can't wait to the store opens so I can go grab it!

Turns out, if you just call up Customer support and ask nicely, they'll transfer your order to an in-store pickup location, and get priority over people who just ordered it last night/this morning.
Now thats customer service.

Interesting enough, when I call the local stores they have the 16G White version. Guess Samsung made lots of those.
Once the status says "Processing" customer service can't do anything. I tried this morning to have them transfer my order to a local store.
Good news is that I just got a confirmation e-mail that it just shipped, but now I have to wait for it to arrive instead of grabbing it from the store.
Thanks to substandard customer service, BB has lost my business. I called another store who also did not have the 32G version in stock but did notify me that they are showing the warehouse has units available if I wanted to do a store pickup. So I asked how could they have it in the warehouse and I get a back ordered status? The store customer service rep stated I should call the 888 number to find out. I did that and was abruptly told that the .com warehouse was different and they are obviously out of stock. So I tried to rationalize with her that why would BB take preorders and then not allocate units that they obviously have available. She states that "Sir I just told you that the .com uses a different warehouse". So I (with some sarcasm at this point) ask her if it is the same company. Well at no time did she offer to find one locally or go ahead and have one shipped to my local store and when I finally asked her if she could do that for me, I said never mind if I have to ask you to do that for me then I will just purchase from another business who values customer service. I assure you that at no time was I rude and only got sarcastic at the end of the conversation.
c'est la vie
For me....Only Best Buy stores that have them are way too far away. Local ones don't have them and unknown when either, so its the luck of the draw as to where Samsung ships to and how many to even bother driving for one just to be disappointed in selling out.
I would just a rather order online instead

I couldn't find any BB stores in the state of Massachusetts that had the 32gb version, so I went online.
Circuit City claims to have an order today/ship today policy on the 32gb version. I went ahead a tried it - we'll see. I did it from their website, not from Amazon, and had to call them to ask them to process the order now.
I didn't know circuit city even existed anymore.
Bummer about the horror stories. Not to make you feel bad, but I strolled into my local Best Buy about 15 minutes after opening today. No pre-order, no deposit, no nothing. Walked out with the 32GB Grey ... and they didn't charge me sales tax! That's a 9.75% (~$60) bonus!

Good to hear someone had a good experience. I don't feel bad just a little jealous I guess. I'm actually thinking about just getting the Iconia instead. I have had the xoom and transformer but returned them both. The xoom for a charging issue and I just never liked the feel of the transformer, maybe just a little to wide and I have larger than avg hands.
I suffered from the same back-order issue. I pre-ordered one for my wife when I first got the e-mail from Samsung on 6/6/2011. Now you would think with my last name being at the beginning of the alphabet and my order being placed so early that I would be a shoe-in to receive one.
WRONG! I didn't receive an e-mail or anything. I'm a Silver Rewards member because of my continued customer loyalty...yet you can't even let me know what's going on before hand so I can order elsewhere.
I called 3 stores, checked online, did a online chat with Best Buy employee Brenda, and then talked to 4 different people through customer support. I heard different answers each time but the same result. "It shows as back-ordered but that it will ship in 1-2 business days." From the stores I heard "We haven't received our shipments yet but the ones we're getting are for pre-orders." The last statement was obviously a lie because ship-to-store has not been an option for any of the local 10 Best Buy stores.
How does any of this make sense? Yes I could come up with some patchwork logic to calm myself but at the end of the day, it's horrible customer service. I was respectful to each person I talked to. I didn't even complain. I went online to cancel my order and then called back to make sure it was done.
I'll keep it real simple. Worked for Best Buy for roughly 2 1/2 years during my younger days. During high school and then when I was in college in Tucson.
I hate Best Buy. From their "non-commission" approach they have the sales associates present shoppers with to their TERRIBLE phone customer service, the place is nothing but horrible experiences. I have a Rewards Silver account with them as well. I've spent way too much money to care to calculate with them and they continue to suck. I've shifted my purchasing from Best Buy to Amazon and am now a Prime Member with them (have been for over a year).
To stay on point with the OP, I went to Best Buy on Camelback in Phoenix this morning to see if they had any in stock. The PCHO (PC / Home Office) and Mobile Phone in store reps both told me they didn't get any in nor did the rest of the state of AZ. The only way I could get a Galaxy Tab was through Best Buy.com. This was after roaming around both departments for 10-15 minutes waiting for a sales rep to approach me (or even see one that I could approach for help). All immediately after the store had opened. Non-knowledgable, unwilling to help anyone sales reps and terrible supervisor / management that could give two craps less about your experience and care about nothing other than you buying a Geek Squad extended service plans and taking advantage of their financing offers.
I'm not buying a Galaxy Tab at all now nor am I, for any reason, shopping at Best Buy any longer (not like it's a huge deal... their stores have been dwindling in the number of shoppers for the past two years).
At first thought it's nice to see that I am not alone, but it really is kinda of sad. I do hear lots of great things about Amazon and have purchased a couple of times through them, but i am still a little weary about online purchases. Not really rational since Amazon does in all regards appear to be very safe and easy even with respect to returns. So who knows maybe it is Amazon here I come!
Prime Membership is totally worth it if you shop on Amazon frequently. I do ALL of my Christmas shopping each year with them, never any hiccups. As a Prime member, you get FREE Two Day shipping on almost everything you buy along with no tax. It destroys whatever Best Buy offers these days. On new videogame releases, they are not only typically $5-10 cheaper, there is no tax and it arrives on the same day of release at my front door.

Best Buy. Long story but they really wanted me to buy a tablet there. Employees came from all around with discounts for me at check out. There was an actual line of employees with printed skews in their hands, each one adding a new discount. I was still in disbelief when I got home. Like I said, Just for fun I might stop by and have a go. I'm sure they need some kind of entertainment around there.
Oh yeah, the funny part was when the all got through with their discounts another guy walked up typed something in, while another dropped his jaw and said, "Did you just give him a $100 off without a managers aproval, how did you do that?" He just smiled and walked away. Everyone gets luck once in a while.
Will bb reimburse 100 to price match if you already purchased and are within 14 day return period?

Thank you so much for this post, I just got back from Staples with a 16gb Tab. The tech guy in the store said they got 3 of them in yesterday and 1 person bought one late last night and the 2nd one was purchased 5 minutes before me and I got the last one. While he and I were talking 2 more people walked up asking for them and were told they were sold out. He said each store only got 2 or 3 of them.
They did have the Xoom, Playbook and Iconia in stock. The Iconia was quite tempting for $299!!! I also wouldn't have minded getting a Xoom for $399 to goof off with. This new Tab is for my son as I already have one myself. I wish they had the 32gb versions in the store but they said that model is only available online. Staples is also running a special for 15% off any tablet accessories when purchasing a tablet but they no Tab accessories in stock yet. The guy said they haven't received their end cap for the Tab which usually comes with the accessories shipment. He said he would honor the 15% offer once they receive their accessories so I'm going to check back periodically. Checking stock on their website shows other stores in the area have Tabs as well but the guy said it can take up to 24 hours for the online stock checker to update so with the rush of buyers looking for them with the coupon deal I suspect they'll all be gone very quickly. FYI, they are selling the metallic gray version (not the white). The website doesn't give any indication of color...

So how much did you exactly pay for the 16gb SGT??
Depending on your tax, I got mine for $430 after tax and coupon.
Too bad they don't stock the 32GB in any of their stores...
I wonder if they will honor this coupon over the phone to order a 32GB?? Guess I'll be trying here shortly
they do honor in store...

Tried a few Staples in DC metro area. Some don't have any. One store that do have in stock can't make the coupon work. Finally found one store that the manager knows about the coupon and offered to order one for me from Kiosk and pay at the register to use the coupon w/o any problem. I'll pick the tab up this Firday. $420 with tax.
Well, I was on a fence because of luck of Netflix. But now Netflix is sorted out and I've got 16Gb for 400 bucks plus tax from staples.
Got mine from staples 424.99 16gb when to four stores and the last store had 3 left also most stores don't have them on display
I picked up my Galaxy 10.1 at Staples today. I noticed that they didn't have any on display, but there were Xooms, Acers, Blackberries, etc. When I asked them why, they said that yesterday somebody tried to walk off with the display model, so they took it off display. Seems to me that he could have tried to walk off with any of them, so why remove just one?
Anyway, another guy said they had gotten their shipment in on Sunday (3 days ago), and I was the first to buy one. He said the store is getting many returns on tablets, because people buy them thinking they are laptops -- minus the keyboards. I assured him that I was familiar with the android system, owning a rooted Nook.
I am happy with the Samsung so far, but Honeycomb is a little bigger learning curve over Android 2.3. But my buddy at work has a Xoom, so I'll be picking his brain over the next couple of weeks.
