Sprint will be well stocked on EVO's

[BigRick10]

For those of you asking about going early to the Sprint Store. Sprint Corporate stores will have plenty of EVO's on Friday. I will not say how i got this pic or what store.

This is only part of the shipment. They are getting a total of 200+ EVO's. Stores will vary.

Haha great!! Because I didn't bother pre-ordering, will just go to Sprint store & wait in line!

 

[mbell75]

Is every corporate store in the US getting the same amount? I seriously doubt it. Will depend on what area you are in and how high the demand is I am sure.

what is the difference between a corporate store and regular sprint store? and how do I know if my local one is a corporate store

Its been discussed in other threads. Check the store locator on sprint.com The corporate stores just say Sprint Store and not Sprint Store by....

I wonder if this also means, Sprint stores should now have a live Demo available for people to tinker with?

Well not really, I'll pay $199 straight out the door, with no headaches of mail in rebates, and I'm getting one regardless of what time I get there. So yea, I'd say Pre-ordering is pretty good for us dudes...

[robg2008]

The one I went to today did and it is massive. Just made a thread for it.

By "corporate" store I believe they mean owned by the Sprint corporation. The alternative would be an authorized reseller. Basically, some of the stores are true Sprint stores owned and run by Sprint and others are local companies that simply sell Sprint equipment and service.

As to how to tell the difference, look up your location on Sprint's store finder here: Sprint Store Locator. The corporate stores will be listed as "Sprint Store" whereas the resellers will be listed as "Sprint Store by Other Company".

*drools* ..All those Evos!

The sprint corporate store i stopped at today said they will have plenty. They said this will be nothing like the Pre release. They did say they are opening early. But i should have no problem getting on if i want it.

I need to play with it first before i commit to paying 450 out of pocket. If its like the incredible then ill probably just wait for my upgrade. I dont like the cheapness of that phone. I like phones to feel like solid pieces of hardware. Not lightweight cheap plastic.

I guarantee they sell out. I was running from store to store on Instink release day. It's was flying out of stores.

Just played with it an hour ago, believe me, it does not feel cheap by any stretch. Its huge and its solid. Almost too heavy for me but I will manage.

 

[kgc107]

Well I probably cannot get mine till 6pm on friday..So this is good news for me haha

 

[nb_mitch]

In the old days it mattered if you bought direct from a provider, not so sure it does anymore. Won't retailers like Wal-Mart (open 24 hours), Best Buys, etc also have these same phones available on the release date?

 

[adseguy]

The Best Buy in Chicago I went to ran out of pre-orders he said. They got apporval for a second batch of pre-orders and those just kept pumping through. I actually think they are going to run out. It's good to see Sprint might not though.
