I just called the BB where my 1030 am appointment is held and they confirmed that it is available with in store purchase only.
BTW radio shack is selling the evo full price for $500, I sold my hero on craigslist so im buying my EVO for full price, and radio shack said pre ordering it at full price is discretionary, he said he would do it for me, but he had to call and confirm the full price of the phone, and he said its $50 more since essentially without a contract they aren't getting anything from selling it for $450. Sprint it is I guess....can anyone else confirm that Best Buy will preorder for $450? without an upgrade.
Has anyone heard any news about this extended battery case we saw a while back? It's the one EVO accessory that I'm really looking forward to!
this just looks ridiculous to me...i mean its 4x the size of an already big phone...

I just thought of something and I don't know if anyone else has thought of it.
If you buy the phone unlocked, do you have to pay 10$ a month for service still? Or is that fee waved because you didn't sign a contract for the phone?
EDIT: Still want to know, but I did the math and it's obvious sprint made the unlocked price at 450$ because in 2 years it's 10$ more than on a 2 year contract with 10$ a month charge. So there isn't really a benefit to getting the phone unlocked.

I haven't seen any accessories like that available yet either. I'm also looking to see if the dock is available. Please post if you end up finding this charger/case. Thanks.
I think you are either confused or the terminology is confusing you. If you use an Evo it is 10.00 per month extra per line that has an evo on your plan. that is a premium data charge, not an unlock fee. the 450.00 fee for the phone is the cost of the phone with out a new contract or upgrade.
Here's my story of getting credits from Sprint. First of all I had an old "grandfathered Plan" of 800 minute "Fair and Flexible" $69 Family Plan with 4 lines. I had to upgrade to a $129 Family Plan to get my EVO. I talked to "Accounts Services" which is what they are now calling the "Customer Retention" dept. On three occassions I asked for the old $70 "Customer Loyalty" credit and three times I was told it no longer existed. In two of the three times I actually asked to talk to a manager within "Accounts Services" and each time they said that the only credits they were allowed to give were a $10 per month credit for the primary line and up to a $5 per month credit for each of the additional lines on the account. Since the first "add a line" is free they can not credit you $5 on it. So in my case I received a $10 per month (24 months) for the primary line (which is getting the EVO) and two $5 credits per month (24 months) for lines 3 and 4. At no time was the $10 credit on the primary line discussed because of getting the EVO. From the discussions, I got the impression that anyone threating to leave and/or willing to renew their Plan Contract for two years would get the credit(s). Having nothing to do with the 4G premium charge when getting a EVO.
So that's my experience. I don't understand how anyone got the $70 Loyalty credit that earlier posters have claimed. At the end, I had talked to Telesales once, Customer Service twice and Customer Retention/Account Services three times.
Hopefully that helps you.
But the best phone out there I might add.Welcome back - glad you were able to make amends. It is after all, just a phone.
Yeah you can tell bill is back, who else has such a unique nack of making so many back to back posts, thus keeping me busy fixing them up.
Anyway, welcome back Bill.

I know that they will give you a credit if your in the 30 period and want to cancel the contract.
I was very nice and explained that I was buying the phone as a present on a line thay's been eligible for about 3 months but was concerned about the "4G fee" I saw in the reviews.
No go. I was told they're not allowed to give any credits for the fee. As a side note: They did not correct me when I called it a 4G fee either.
I asked if they could give me a good customer discount of any kind, on with an elevation manager at this point, again I was told under no circumstances.
the manager even made a note that I was interested in cancelling the line.

I hope it works on the EVO? I downloaded the pink one and the black one for my friend and am saving it for when I get my EVO.

I jus commented on how I downloaded the pink one to my desktop and am saving it for when I get the EVO. It's the .apk so that is what I need to look for in ANdroid correct? I saw where the one post took me to a cab file and I knew coming from the TP2 that wasn't right. I keep saying this over and over but I can't wait to get this phone.
This is a .cab file, and android does not support this. Android uses .apk.
Here is swype for you in 4 different flavors including pink for the ladies at ppcgeeks.PPCGeeks - View Single Post - Evo Swype?
Edit: SHO_ONE must have beat me by seconds.

I was told by best buy that u can pay either buy the phone outright or do the upgrade/new line... No talk about price tho.. If rs is charging 50$ more for off contract price u can bet your bottom dollar bb will be doing the same if not more.. All the bbuys I ask tell me in the 5-600 range..
