Friend wants White Evo - cannot find one

Any way to find one of these? They do not seem to be available any longer at Best Buy, and I think it was a BB exclusive.
Any other way to obtain one?
This would really please my co-worker if I could find one for them.
Thanks in advance!

not ideal, but:

Thanks...
She was hoping to be able to use her upgrade to get the Evo....
She's not to hip on CL due to possibility of buying a stolen phone.
Thanks for the link....I saw that one before I posted here.....

I work at Best Buy Mobile and we had an Employee News article go through our systems about a week or two ago that literally read "White Evos Lost In Bermuda Triangle." The article went on to say that they weren't really lost in the Bermuda Triangle, but to not expect any replenishment on White Evo stocks for the foreseeable future. Don't wait around for one, they aren't coming any time soon.

I would let her have mine for the right compensation

Why do you need pictures?
I work at Best Buy, and I cannot even get one. The whole state of Florida is pretty much out of them, and they are discontinued.
So don't bother expecting to get one with an upgrade. It's better to just buy one on eBay.

Let your co worker know white evo isn't too far from black one.
Screen and frame portion is black just like the regular black evo.
Only white portion is the battery cover and the small portion of plastic on the back.
It's far from white iPhone and black one.

Thanks so much.
She's pretty much resigned to the fact that none are to be found, but, I knew that if any were to be found, this would be the place to look.

Is she hot??

Actually sprint is going to resell the white evo in November. Probably after the galaxy tab goes on sale which is on the 14.

Sprint stores will begin selling the white EVO on November 14th.

If everything goes as per usual, they will go on sale the day after his girlfriend buys something else.

This is true, Best Buy just got exclusive rights to sell them a few months earlier.

White Wildfire prices on eBay!?!!

Am I missing something?
For the past week I've been watching the auction of Wildfires on eBay UK and have noticed that the white versions of the Wildfire command a significant premium to other versions.
I can understand this, per se, but what I don't get is that the prices paid regularly exceed the price I'd pay at Phones4u to walk out the door with one (£139.99).
I must be missing something here. Anyone care to enlighten me?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

It's the same thing here. White commands a premium and are listed as "Limited Edition Wildfire" on eBay.
The only reason I guess is that the buyer / bidder is not aware of the availability of the White Wildfire in retail stores or, is unaware of the price of one, and, got "conned".

I had the option to pick white when I was purchasing my Wildfire,but chose black cos i know it'll get all yellowish and dirty...but its still sad that some people don't do research before buying something.

But you got to admit the white one looks real pretty on first glance
I didn't get to choose white when i was buying it though, only red or black..

Well I put my money where my mouth is and bought a white Wildfire today from Phones4u here in London.
It cost me £139.95 all-in (no 'con'-tract and no 'over-' insurance).
So now I have both a red one and a white one.
I planned on selling the red one to part finance the purchase of the white one but now I'm not sure what to do. The white one came with Froyo installed while it said Eclair on the box. I've read that Unrevoked currently doesn't work on the Froyo Wildfires (something to do with a different bootloader cf. Eclair). Soes now I has to wait until the Unrevoked developers can hack up a solution.
No rooted white Wildfire for me just yet, it seems. It looks like I'll be hanging on to my rooted red one for a while longer. Anyways, I've still got a Galaxy S and a Nexus S to sell which will more than cover any resale depreciation on my Wildfires.

Conspiracy theory

Still waiting to get my blue s3. I gave the shop a call and they said that deliveries have bagun but since almost all pre orders have been blue ones it takes time. I have read aimilar stories from forums so could it be that samsung draw the blue one to sell more white ones too in the beginning?

well, do keep in mind that, there is a strong possibility that most pre-orders for white has been processed since the phone was originally launched...with substantially more pre-orders for blue that has yet to be processed? New Zealand was one of the first countries to receive the SGS3 and it has only been about 2 days since the blue units started to be surface on the market...furthermore, the price difference between white and blue would be minimum so Samsung wouldnt intentionally shoot itself on the left foot by releasing just one of the colours when both colours have been heavily marketed and promoted...

Companys do still regularly do a Buzz Lightyear with stock but it does seem a stretch to think they'd do this.

A Buzz Lightyear?

A Buzz Lightyear: Deliberate stock shortages.
When Toy Story was released they deliberately didn't have enough stock to create shortages and create queues of people seen on the news.

I have been offered a blue one ready for shipment here in Denmark so it is definitely being shipped. But people are waiting in line.

The phone or the guy?

Am I being petty, pebble blue finish not perfect

Just got my blue SGS3 today and I've noticed one area where the finish appears scratched, but UNDERNEATH the glaze. Hard to photograph with my crappy old phone, but the photo makes it look less noticeable than it really is.
Should I keep it or send it back? Anyone else got this prob?

I see what you mean. Maybe that's the reason the blue was delayed in the UK?

maybe thats the issue they had for recalling all the blues. Yours slipped though the net

Blue went back for a respray .
jje

It's not a cheap phone and it's brand new... I wouldn't be happy with that finish either and would get it replaced.

PCadvisor is reporting that the Blue version of the SIII won't be available for a few days yet.

Got mine today in Australia. Finish is perfect as far as I can tell, has none of issues shown by op. Send it back.

^^ this. For a phone that costs $700, I'd think anything that looks like it shouldn't be there warrants a replacement.

Take that ish back!

Well I've called up my service provider and they've agreed to replace it with another new one - only problem is that they aren't getting another batch in for 2 weeks new one won't arrive til 27th June...
I can still keep this one til then, but it means I have to baby it/not take it out for fear of dropping it/not root it, basically treat it as a loaner.
I'm half tempted to say f*ck it, I'll just keep it - but you're all right, this is an expensive machine, I don't want a faulty paint job! Who's to say it won't get worse as well, since it's a prob with manufacturing process.

Get a replacement and ask for bill credit for your trouble... you're going to have to re input all your apps and info... worth a shot

Already ahead of ya - they've agreed to waive the 2wks fees (£17) that I'll be without my "own" S3. I thought about going ape and demanding a whole month (£34), but took pity on the girl in the call centre in India.
Plus it's not really Three's fault, it's Samsung's fault. Three haven't been too bad to me so far, so I won't be an a**hole difficult customer to them until it's warranted

You're half right it's not their fault but you didn't buy it from Samsung, you bought it from them. They have to stand by their products. And if she offered two weeks best believe she can do better

I'd recommend that you tell them your situation that you'll keep it till the new stock arrives and they ship it to you. I remember having a similar issue with my Motorola razor v9 flip phone (att USA). They sent me a new razor and asked me to return the defective phone once I've received the new one. This should work for them.
Ps: Lol looks like have a thing for Indian girls jk.

keep it and fanny about with it to your hearts content till they replace it. just remember and revert it to stock and triangle away before you post it back to them.

True, but do you honestly think they are going to open every box and inspect for bad craftsmanship? If they were part of the assembly process then sure, but they merely order en mass and then either drop ship to their customers or reship from their warehouse.
I think the OP is doing the right and ethical thing by not blowing this out of proportion. To many people these days try and milk every little "mistake" that cross their path. But to each their own, the important thing is that he is getting a replacement with no down time and a few bucks for his troubles.

Why couldn't they just have made a black model, like every other phone.

Think it has something to do with Apple, whether they want to admit it or not. Had a black version been available, I'd have gotten that one, but I've settled with the white version for now(was going for the blue version, but after seeing it in person I'm glad I went with white when the former was delayed).
It'll probably not be that long lived if the Note 2 gets released in October.

HTC One Pre-Order Black Only

Thought I'd start a thread for black only devices as silver seems pretty readily available at most carries in the uk.
I Pre ordered from Vodafone on the 5th March and am sadly still waiting anyone else received any info regarding black apart from the fact it's looking like they will fulfil orders by 4th April.

Ordered a black ONE from Mobile Phones Direct. At the time of ordering they were showing a delivery date of 29th. Looking at their website now it is still showing as 29th so holding thumbs. I originally pre-ordered a black one from them on the 02 March with a delivery date of 15th, but cancelled it for a cheaper deal but later delivery date of 29th. Just as well because I got an email saying that the 15th order was delayed to 29th anyway, so saved some cash and no real loss. Can't wait to get my hands on it though.

I ordered my black HTC One from P4U on the 14th and got a dispatch email about an hour ago saying it will arrive tomorrow. Am I right to be very doubtful about this? Seems too good to be true haha

No they were good for me when I got the same email it was there the next day, track your order on royal mail. They were first to get hold of the silver models. Is it SIM only or on new or upgrade contract?

Its a new contract, I originally pre-ordered with CPW but they had delays so I changed to P4U (also better deal). Im really looking forward to getting my hands on the black one I haven't seen too many pictures/videos of it so far.

When you do please take lots of pics and let us know how it feels When I first saw the black version I instantly fell in love with it, but unfortunetly since I am going to upgrade with T-Mobile UK they only offer the silver.

Me! I preordered mine at Handtec. Hope I get mine soon so I could kick some serious development for this device.

ordered mine at Vodafone Germany they said they will start to deliver at 2nd April

3rd of April delivery with CPW. I'd rather wait a week for the black which imo looks a lot better than the silver.

It's personal preference in the silver you can appreciate the design more then the black. silver stands out more. The only reason I prefer the black is because the last few devices I've owned have all been white, so looking for bit of change. Mind you I've got silver which looks brilliant.

I really hope so, got mine pre-ordered with free Beats Solo Headphones, if I hadn't got that deal I would probably have switched over to P4U by now and just went silver...

Should be the same materials I'd hope! I prefer black over white as the me it seems more unified. Also for some reason i think the notification LED will stand out more when contrasting with black, however I'm probably wrong!

I got pictures of where the gaps have been seen, there is a very small gap at the bottom which I didn't notice till I checked the pictures on the camera so it doesn't bother me (that much).
