Hopefully, it's the EVOluton of a "Rematch" year! 2 rematches would be nice.

The refereeing tonight was a joke
I have a feeling Boston is going to have a nice advantage over us. Time for a rEVOlution!

How perfect is the timing. As long as the Lakers get to the finals, I'll be able to watch the early part of the weekday games on the EVO! So glad Skyfire finished their beta version for Android, just in case the OEM browser doesn't work with atdhe.net.

Yay!! I just got a call && My appointment is @ 10am!!! && the BB rep did confirm the free bt headset. I asked can I just get a credit since I really want the Jawbone Icon but she said no because something about in the system the price of the bluetooth is $0.01. Idk i'll probably just give it away. I'm just happy to have an early appointment on launch day!!
I just went to mine and played with a dummy phone.. nice size 
Did make me a little concerned about that camera,, *shrug* guess we'll see how that works out...
One thing they told me is there were only 4 pre-orders.. and the last day they were processing 2 more when they were told they had no more available .. so because tehy nly have 4 pre-orders .. they're opening at 9 instead of 6 (since they had to have more than 4 to open early)
Oh well.. guess I can wait 3 more hours... just have to sleep in

Not worth the drive to LA
Local Sprint store doesn't have one yet... oh well it'll keep the suprise fresh for launch day

Wish the release date was Thursday, cuz then i could keep the live stream on my phone rather than having to stream through my work cpu!

Had to share with my fellow L.A. peeps. Stopped by Sherman Oaks BB just to see if they had any extra info on the EVO and it happened to be perfect timing when they were preparing the dummy EVO display out, but not set up to show.
I took a couple of pictures for everone to see while I was holding the phone like normal people would hold it when they're carrying around. For frame of reference, I don't have crazy big hands (I'm a 5'6 Asian guy, so give ma a break...LOL).
I also grabbed a couple of mobile buying guide brochures that had the EVO on the cover, so I took a couple of those home. Anyhow, enjoy the pics!

My BB had that display yesterday minus the EVO only had the Incredible. I picked up the buyers guide too and thought it was nice to see the EVO on the front. I showed to everyone I work with cause most have the iphone. I can't wait till next week!

I've called the ACS Sprint store here in Westchester near LAX, no go on the working Evo. Apparently the owner has one and is there periodically, so it's hit and miss.
HOWEVER, my wife was at the Westfield mall in Culver City and happened to visit the Sprint kiosk (private company) across from the food court (in front of Macy's). The owner was there and had a working phone. It is very fast and the screen is huge AND bright!
The owner said he has plenty for this Friday. He will waive the activation fee, plus add $20.00ish in accessories. The only thing he cannot do is waive the rebate, but we don't mind fronting the $200.00. He is open at 8:00am in the morning on Friday, so we will be there first thing to pick-up our 2 phones.
If you want to check out his phone, or see where he is at with quantities, you can call him at 310-400-6634 and ask for Zak.
Beats fighting the crowds at the Sprint store Friday morning!!
Hope this helps someone out!

Just a heads up, you will have to front $300
