If you click on it it says as of now but "subject to change" which leads me to believe they are simply basing that on rumors as well but I hope not.

S4GRU is claiming June 10th again based on internal documentation from product development.

S4GRU June 10th launch for EVO LTE

This is interesting; the reason cited is:

"LTE device connectivity in lab testing continues to be problematic due to under defined processes and complications around provisioning and SIM UICC profiles. Escalation of this issue is in progress."

Frankly, since LTE has barely been launched on the Sprint network, I'm of the mindset that they should just ship the device and then sort out LTE provisioning issues via subsequent software update... but then again I just want the LTEvo in my grubby little mitts. ;)

Here's to irrationally hoping that this Mid-May release date is accurate.

Delivering on this promise means that you must agree to maintain your agreement for a minimum of 6 months after activation.

Please note some of the reasons your wireless carrier may notify us of a deactivation include if:

You transfer this equipment to another carrier line of service after it is activated

Wooo... I did the preorder and got in 3-4 minutes before the official starting time. I also had something in the mail from Sprint and get a $50 Visa gift card.

^That must be the message for online orders?

For completeness' sake here is what my order page is reading. (I had to go the Tele-sales route because there was a hang up with my account online. Tele-sales didn't give me any hassle at all. Kinda weird.)

Status: Your order or a portion of your order is in backorder status. If you would like to select an alternate product or cancel your backordered item, please call 866-789-8292 between 8:00 a.m. EST to 11:00 p.m. EST Monday to Friday or 9:00 a.m. EST to 9:00 p.m. EST on Saturdays and Sundays.Please note that cancellation requests may not always process successfully due to the speed of warehouse processing.If you cancelled your backordered item but still received a shipment, please refuse the shipment or call us to process a return within 14 days of receipt.
 
Man, so jealous. I called Sprint today because my upgrade is due June 1st. I figured no big deal because i know sprint can move it 30 days earlier. Which they said if i wanted to buy a current phone, i could now and get full upgrade, but since its a pre order the system won't reflect it regardless.
 
Sprint just called me to update my number port request. I asked about availability and was told that the phone was in stock, in the warehouse and would be shipped within 3-5 days. I asked him to verify it was in stock and was accurate about shipment. He disappeared, supossedly spoke to a manager, and verified what he told me.

I ordered online and at first this is the message I was showing in my order status. About an hour later when I looked again I had the May15th message so it just takes a minute in their system to update but you should be seeing that soon.

I doubt it. I think Tele-sales may just be out of the loop. The gal I spoke with said it was in stock and the phone would ship in 2-5 days for sure, I had her verify this info too. My current order status says otherwise. Earlier in the call she also told me that the Evo 4G LTE has a 4.7" SAMOLED screen... :rolleyes:

Thanks.
My order went through at around 8:20 AM CST. Still the same.
 
I think the Pre-orders will get theirs by the 18th.

Stores might have them around that time or a little later.

This phone is coming out in May there is no doubt.

SIII is lined up for end of June release and I have a feeling Sprint will push the SIII hard, much harder then the EVO. So Sprint needs this phone out ASAP and they need as many sold as possible until the end of June.
 
Just placed my order online through Sprint. I'm so excited and anxious!
But why am I so nervous?


Edit: Oh yeah, now I remember. The last time I ordered a phone from sprint it was a Samsung Moment. The phone, and Sprint, gave me so much hell that it's affecting me 2.5 years later. Great, now I'm chewing my nails
 
What's everyone doing that has an upgrade eligibility date of 6/1? I just called Sprint customer service and was told that they weren't processing early upgrades until the morning of the 19th.
 
Went to the Sprint store in Merriam Kansas after 10:00 am central and they said I was their first pre-order and he said my phone will be in next Friday, not sure if he meant this coming one or not??
 
Sprint doesn't add the payments to your bill anymore. Ugh .deal breaker for me as I did not want to pay $200 plus today.

I'm a free agent. Maybe another company will allow me to do this.
