Well my local best buy had no clue of the release date and just told me summer. Guess I'm not as lucky as you guys. But I totally agree with the doctor idea haha. Also by all you guys talking about work and kids, I feel like the youngest user here(I'm only 14) Think I'll be the youngest person with an EVO when it comes out? haha

im 17. close but nope ;)
 
I just feel a little more comfortable not giving away the exact address. No ones been right yet though. It's not at a huge place like the Javits Center.

Last year, Palm did a launch party at a Sprint store in NYC and all hell broke loose when dozens of non-invitees showed up. People who were supposed to be there got insanely upset at the people trying to elbow their way in and it was not a pretty sight.
 
Welcome, Vindico. All of the dates you mentioned are pretty close to all the rumored dates that have been floating around here. Right now, May 12th is the critical date in which I'm hoping we'll get confirmation on the release date and on pricing.

Since you mentioned the Pre event...

Reality Check: iPhone vs Palm Pre Launch - Iphone vs palm pre - Gizmodo

Who thinks we'll face another let-down with the EVO?
 
1. This has got to be one of the best kept phone launches in history.. I can't believe no one has scooped the launch date..

2. I Think the wait while overbearing some days is great marketing. The EVO has been in the news almost everyday since it debuted at CITA.. Marketing at its finest..

3. Anyone has a prediction on the number of units sold??

Just saw this blog commenting on a potential "early" release, but I could've sworn someone had posted the same/similar info in this thread. For those that remember, please correct me if I'm wrong.

I realize this is totally contrary to what I was telling people the other day, but everyone has been trying to convince me that an early release date is possible. I wouldn't be surprised if it did happen, actually. May 12th is only a couple of weeks away and we should know a whole lot more soon.

Number of units sold is a tough one... Let me ask you this; are you still sticking with the same predicted release date you gave us the other day?

Hmm not sure I have no inside info on that at all. I liked the May 22 date because I figured if you keep those two big events prior 12-17 why not roll out the phone at that point? or at least pre orders

But Jackson seems to be the man as far as dates go.

I am assuming the 4g roll out still would play a major factor on that release..

But there is only some much 4G installs they can do before they will have to release it.

The roll out is tough because you set towers but they don't always meet expectations so you have to fill in the holes to try and make the coverage acceptable or tweak the towers.


My Prediction is it outsells the Droid and Iphone 74 day records
 
Here is a funny Best Buy story: I went in just to see what they would say the release date was for the EVO. Well, the guy I spoke with had no idea what I was talking about - hadn't even heard of it. So he goes onto his PC and comes back with an October release date! I was like ummmmm no....I thought it was really funny how oblivious he was to this new product that is going to be promoted by Best Buy.

At least someone believes the N1 is still coming to Sprint.

I apologize in advance if this is old news or if someone else already posted it.

If they changed the screen to the incredible screen I'd consider that over the Evo if I find the evo too large BUT if they use the same screen the other nexus had I would rather not even bother with the N1. The phone has too many issues and they need to upgrade some things on it before any other carrier has it IMO.
 
Oh my god. I step away for half a day and there are 20 pages to catch up on :D. I am still working on getting into the LA party, but I am not sure it is going to happen. I don't think they will be selling them there anyway, so I don't really care. I just want an EVO :D.
