People waiting for backordered EVO, raise you hand.

I agree with Crodley. My guess is that they are fixing some problems - and I'll gladly wait for them to do so. I am ready for my EVO too, but I don't want version 1.0 problems. That is precisely why I didn't get one on release day.

You wait, Apple will have the same problem with the new iPhone - lot's of orders, and no phones. I have been through this with them more than once.

Relax and have a cocktail. You're phone will be in before you know it!

Apple is already having huge problems with the new ios4 I guess its been nothing short of a huge failure and the multitasking is a joke. Nothing is perfect but for the money we are spending for these phones we expect and should get near perfection.
 
Just got off the phone with "my Sprint guy" and he said they got official word that Sprint Is not going to see another shipment until mid. July.

Now he was not clear if that meant Sprint in general or just his location but in any case I know I won't have one for a couple of weeks more.

How reliable is this source ?
If this is true, I am done. The Evo seems like a great phone, but I have too much anxiety about this right now, so
I have to let it go.
 
Hmmm... sounds like a bit of an overhaul may be in order. Still, I can wait. I'd rather have it right, than just "have it".

You guys should try Best Buy again. they had them on their website as of 6/20 for sale and in stock. I just got mines yesterday.

How does Best Buy work when ordering online?

I went through the process on their site and chose "upgrade phone" since I am an existing customer. When/where does it check for upgrade eligibility?
 
Got mine from best buy yesterday. Took days after days of calling. Best buy gets shipments mondays and thursdays from what I was told. Best to try those days if your haven't pre ordered.
 
Redwingsfan I am a sprint premier cust and what I did was just went to bestbuy and they activated the phone for me, change my plan, and I was on my way. They didnt even charge me an activation fee either and I dont have to deal with sprint mail in rebate which is BS. Its easy. Just call BestBuy Mobile and they will help u.
 
I've been on 2 sprint store lists since the 11th. I've called to check on the status. They both asked, "new line or upgrade".

My guess is that if you are trying to upgrade or buy out right, you are given lowest priority, which makes complete "business sense", but just shows Sprints true colors.

If they are truly not doing this, there would be no reason to ask that question.
 
well i got my evo on launch day and the other day the speaker blew somehow and radioshack don't have it and has no clue when they can get it so sprint noted my account so i don't have to pay or have to deal with anything since its under the 30day warranty stuff or whatever and radioshack put me on the infamous list and will call me when one is available for me. hopefully its soon cause the speaker being blown absolutely sucks cause my ring tones and everything sound like crap and is completely annoying!!!!

I know you have it right, at least here. The call I got from Sprint Corporate earlier today indicated that my store got 4 in today. I am/was around #30 on their list. If they're getting 4 at a time it is going to be a while, but I'll wait patiently for one that works well.
 
For those of you who read my earlier post about the phone call I got from Sprint here is the email that followed it about a half an hour later. The names & numbers have been changed to protect the innocent:

"Dear Mr. X,

Thank you for contacting Dan@Sprint.com. Thank you for your concern on
the inventory for the HTC EVO 4G phone. We understand your frustration
concerning the HTC EVo 4G phone not being available at this time;
however we are working very diligently with HTC to increase inventory in
all sales channels. I contacted 2 stores in your service area to provide
them with your contact information. Both stores advised me that they
will contact you as soon as the phone becomes available. I provided you
with the 1-800-Sprint1 number to check the inventory status for the HTC
EVo 4G, and you stated that you were very grateful for that information.
We appreciate your patience and we know that you will be very satisfied
with the HTC EVO 4g. If you have any questions or concerns I can be
reached at XXX-XXX-XXXX. I am available Monday- Friday 9:00 a.m.- 5:30
p.m. EST.

Thank you for contacting Sprint. We appreciate your business."
 
I ordered mine off sprint by phone on Saturday, I checked online right now and it says "processing order." Any idea how long it will take till they get some?
 
Okay, not sure how you ordered on Saturday when I couldn't order on Saturday or any day I have called since last Thursday. :(
 
I went into Sams club by me in Pasco FL and they had some and best deal around! Got EVO for $199 and a $40 credit on my phone bill which showed up in a few days on my bill! Plus free activation for it to save again $36 bucks or so as I add a line on my data plan to do it. Had a Hero and gave to daughter and got me EVO and swapped #'s.
If a Sams club near you you can just tell door greater your going to cell phone kiosk and go right in and see if have them and same deal I got last week. Great deal and had phone in stock at mine. Best buy and Sprint both had back orders at that time.
 
My local BestBuy at Gateway mall in Brooklyn, has tons of them.

I exchanged my version 002 last night because the power button sunk in....have no idea how.
 
Our BB in Bloomington IL has them in stock and the official Sprint store also continues to receive stock. 2 weeks ago I was number 47 on the list at my Sprint store and as of yesterday I am number 3. So I should see mine yet this week.
 
Oh perhaps the Sams club in your area is but didn't get that from two sam's club I dealt with in NJ for my Hero in FEB and FL for my EVO They are affiliated with radio shack somehow with better prices then street stores for ones I dealt with
 
Canceled my previous order after waiting for 23 days and just placed my order directly with Sprint. YES they do have them!
