Yeah sprint employees on this site are so funny.None will admit it but they are on here,So many on this forum it is funny.All of them will try and slam you for spelling/saying there will be no shortage.I guess he never got a text message with avil/for available i just use since on text messages i use it.

You got to understand the sprint employees on here will say anything to create a thought of a shortage or argue about it.

All i want is proof of the evo shortage? there has not been a shortage of evo's someone posted waited 3-4 weeks? maybe a year ago but not since.Best buy has never been OOS online in many months.

And for the person who posted "i believe there will be a shortage" Direct from sprint!..."We have been assured by HTC there will be no shortage of EVO 3D'S".

I would love the store number to the store with over 200 pre orders of the evo 3d? id love to call it lol.

Again there should not be any argument in this thread it is fact not what i think.

Just the sprint employees will come on here and try and start stuff like they do on SU.COM

You guys have a great day!
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
you'll find the employees on here typically say they are. dunno how you think that they dont.

I guess everyone that says there will be a shortage or there wass a evo4g shortage at sprint stores a lil while ago means that that person deff is an employee of sprint trying to cause hype over next phone......

That is the most redic thing to think ever btw. What does a few sprint employees hyping a phone on a board do for them?.......nothing

And b/c its not out of stock at BB doesn't mean there wasn't a shortage at sprint. diff retailers bud.
[HTC EVO 3D] treckin:
You forget how many customers Sprint is hoping to woo away from tmobile.

Right now its ATTs Attrix Vs. The Verizon Droid X2 Vs. Sprints Evo 3D

SGS2 is nowhere to be found.
[HTC EVO 3D] KingKuba13:
Just not that many people want it as last year.

Too many other choices out there, just another dual core.

Most people still in 2 year contracts with the EVO.
[HTC EVO 3D] a5ehren:
T-Mo is getting the Sensation pretty soon, though, which is the EVO 3D without the 3D camera (and HSDPA+ instead of WiMax).
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowhawk2020:
Two of my lines were upgraded with the Evo, as of yesterday they were both eligible for the 3d.
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
Well look at Amazon .

Com. There back ordered also 4 best buys in my area are stopping pre orders

infected evo
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Again we are talking about 2% maybe of the evo owners that got there evo and can upgrade.Really i know of 5 people i know who have a evo and none are getting the 3d cause they have only a 75$ upgrade.I told them to call in and ask to be upgraded to full and they look at me like NOWAY i am not calling they won't do it.

We tend to look at what goes on here rather then all the people.The people on here and other sites makeup like 2% of all evo owners.

So when we all say hey i got upgraded for 150$ does not mean everyone understands how to work sprint like we do.

But bottom line HTC told sprint already there will be no shortage.In fact sprint said they were more worried about getting them all out in the mail day 1 then running out of stock and this is from them not what i think.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
That's your area.
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
Amazon would be everyone in the US. It says backordered on the amazon wireless page before even putting in a zip code. Meanwhile wirefly dropped to $149 but I still don't trust those guys
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Do i really have to answer why Amazon is back ordered? i mean it is so simple.They were the cheapest one selling the evo 3d without a upgrade.

Most places wanted 549-599 as soon as the 4 hundred plus they were selling it for many people jumped on it due to the fact of NO TAX in most places and BY FAR THE CHEAPEST WITHOUT A UPGRADE.

And again i asked the person who said his best buy had 200 pre orders for the name of his location BB but he left no reply i wanted it cause i would love to call them.

Again i want the 3D and i will get the 3D i just want the sprint employees who are trying to create hype of a shortage to stop and for those who can't get it day 1 you will be able to day 2 or a week after.

This should be end of discussion because this is from Sprint not from me.

I called 3 more sprint stores in my area and all said not to worry if they did sell out of there stock day 1 that on day 2-3 they will have more.
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowhawk2020:
I am not arguing that you are wrong. I do think there will be plenty of 3d's. Plus Sprint has a few more options (and options on the way) than when the evo was released. But the bolded line was spoken to me when I went to buy my evo, and I had to wait 3 weeks to find one in my area.
[HTC EVO 3D] familyguy26:
Actually you can still preorder the EVO 3D on Amazon. I saw it said backordered, but my ship date is still on the 27-28th.
[HTC EVO 3D] mahalocat:
It has Probably always said Back-ordered. I would think they have to say that unless they have them in stock - Which they don't. :rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
I called Amazon and yes that is the reason it says Back ordered because they are not in stock yet.Another truth of how many are going to be around because the rep wanted to take my order lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vvlioncourtvv:
For those of you who seem to think there will be no shortage. I beg you cancel your preorder prove to all of us there is nothing to fear. Prove to us we are stupidly over cautious. The funny part is most of the people sayin that there will be no shortage also not only have a preorder but obtained their preorder when the preorders were "super secret". I appreciate ur opinions but don't try to make the rest of us feel stupid for being cautious when ur being just as cautious.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Dude can you read? i know my typing is bad but what can't you understand about sprint coming out and saying they were assured by HTC there will be no shortage of EVO 3D'S and in fact sprint even said they are more worried getting all the orders out more then running out of evo 3d's.

Now weather you work for a sprint store or own stock that is fine but it is clear there is not going to be a shortage of them utter nonsense when sprint has even came out and said it.

Why would anyone cancel there pre order? you cant from sprint they won't even give you a credit to your bill and as for BB AND RS why drive there to prove a point.

And if you like i can give you 3 sprint store numbers here in the area who have said they were told if they run out day 1 they will have more back in the next day and if needed 2 days later.

But hey go for the hype if it turns you.It's not a issue of will the phone be good it is a issue of THERE ARE GOING TO BE PLENTY CAUSE SPRINT SAID SO.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vvlioncourtvv:
I think I'll play it safe. Sprint isn't exactly known for following through with its promises. Where is the 4g in my area that I was promised? When I am on 4g where are the speeds I was promised? What about the timely updates to the android os that the evo was promised? All these were promises made by sprint. So I'll just be a lil cautious when it comes to their word.
[HTC EVO 3D] nkd:
lol I dont think anyone is calling you stupid. I am on the pre order list too, not because I am afraid I wont get one, because I wanna get one on the day of the release. I wanna be the first to get it, doesn't matter because I want this phone. If I could wait I wouldn't preorder.
[HTC EVO 3D] nkd:
nothing to do with the stock of the phone. evo has recieved plenty of updates. 4g speeds are plenty. I get 5-8mb on average in my area. Sorry but you are blowing this thing out of proportion. evo is the first phone to get gingerbread from htc in U.S, so I dont know what the problem is there.
[HTC EVO 3D] nkd:
my ship date is set to the 24th at amazon under my order status.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vvlioncourtvv:
I'm just going by my own personal experiences and going by what I personally expect. It just bugs me a bit cause just because sprint/htc say "there will be no shortages" people are taking that as 100% truth. In reality sprint nor htc know whether every store will get 2 customers wanting this phone or 200. So how can a company say there will be no shortages. What is worse is we all understand that fact and most of people I run across are taking that as 100% truth. I personally do not know if there will be a shortage or not but I'm not going to convince myself that there won't be just cause sprint said so.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
They have a idea on how many they will sell.You must understand 90% of evo owners do not have a upgrade as has been stated in this thread and you can't go by on here because the amount of people on here make up just a small amount of evo owners.

So there is noway in any shape or form there will be as much demand.If you don't believe me go on the evo forums on all the different sites SU PPC here etc.Many are waiting or have no interest.

I understand we love hype and this is going to be a great phone which i can't wait to get but a shortage just is not going to happen no matter how much people try and will it!
[HTC EVO 3D] Vvlioncourtvv:
Current evo owners are not the only people that will get this phone. There are plenty of people that did not have there 2 year upgrade available when the evo came out. Smartphone sales are doubling every year. Android has the most steam in the smartphone industry right now. It is easily out selling all other "brands". This phone will attract more than just evo owners people with iphones, blackberries, pre's, ms and even clamshell phones. The market is much bigger than just is current evo owners. So the 90% u speak of is only a miniscule amount og what the market actually consists of. Everybody wants the "next big thing" and currently this is it. So like I said before impossible to gauge how many will sell. I'm not saying there will be a shortage but no one can claim to know what the masses are thinking and if u can we need to talk cause big money can be made.
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
Where are you guys getting 90%?
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
Out of thin air. Just making up numbers to try and prove their point.
[HTC EVO 3D] Night·Fire:
Everyone I know IRL that owns an Evo is upgrading to the 3D. Several people that I know without the Evo is also getting the 3D. Most of them aren't "tech savy" they know enough to get to facebook.

What is really interesting is how, the forum Sprint employees are getting slammed for, supposedly, causing panic to increase sales (which they would not benefit from), while the Sprint store employees are doing the opposite (they do benefit from selling the phones).

All I'm hearing is someone being oppositional towards anyone they perceive as not agreeing with them.

I doubt there will be a shortage like the OG Evo, but I do think many stores will quickly be oos, short term.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
I do NOT make up numbers.Tell me the release date of the EVO? huh com on you can do it :) then add 22 months and tell me how many would be 150$ ready for a full upgrade? HUH NONE 0 i gave 10% to the people calling up and asking for it to be moved up but i should have put 99% because since the evo has came out NOBODY WHO BOUGHT ONE HAS HAD IT LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE A FULL UPGRADE.

If you want to spin it for the hype be my quest but don't question numbers as being made up to prove a point.For the people who called and got it moved up and the people who do get a 1 timer per year upgrade i went with a low 90%.

I understand the sprint employees on here want to create a shortage buzz but it is just not going to be there.

Nobody is saying the phone sucks either it is going to be a great phone but there are tons of evo owners (check ppc geeks SU and here)that just not are going to upgrade yet due to the fact they have not had there evo that long.
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
I'm sure most evo owners have/had the 1 year premier upgrade and are eligible as I see many launch evo owners saying they will upgrade. Also your numbers still seem to be more of a guesstimate, I could understand if you had access to all of Sprint's customer data, but you just seem to be throwing things out there because they make sense to you. If I were to guess I'd say at least 25% of current evo owners would upgrade.
[HTC EVO 3D] Averix:
Yeah, keep that 1 year premier upgrade in mind. A lot of those original EVO buyers will be eligible for that. Not to mention, I know people who use their family accounts to get themselves a new phone every year while passing on the previous year model to the wife/husband or children.

No one on here can know what the demand to supply ratio is. We'll know next week!
[HTC EVO 3D] srb7215:
Yes the Evo was a year ago but 2 years ago there was the Hero and the Pre. Both of which will have plenty looking for an upgrade. Evo owners are not the only people who buy Evo phones. This phone will have plenty of people looking to get it, maybe not as many as last year with the Evo but plenty of people will buy the phone. The EVO3D is also hands down the best phone for Sprint at the point of it's release with no other releases with a date.
[HTC EVO 3D] rrsweet:
Crap I bought a moment one year ago in may. I'm eligable for the upgrade as a premier customer. I must not however according to all these fact be allowed to upgrade to the e3d. Well at least my sister who bought her EVo 1 year ago yesterday and is elegible for the upgrade, no phone call as she is also a premier customer, will be able to get it.

So seing as how I'm not 1 of only 10% of the Evo owners which is what lest say 1/15th of the phones offered by Sprint ( sorry not doing a phone count as we get to make crap up in this thread) Which phone will I be able to upgrade to then? I don't have to go to the Epic do I?

Wish I would have knownI couldn't upgrade with in a year from a different phone before I did my pre order.

even google translate was no help for me on this.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vvlioncourtvv:
Please explain ur 90% theory and back it up with factual verifiable information. I am very interested to see what facts u are basing this on. As I was trying to explain, none of us are prophets none of us can see the future. So anyones guess will be wrong it could be 2 customers or 200 no one knows.
[HTC EVO 3D] rrsweet:
Also smarty pants. My smart ass point was your 90% and other numbers are BS and you know it, and even if it WERE correct, It has little bearing on how many E3D's will be sold release date. There are other phones, and other carriers from which people will be coming from who will be purchasing this and have known about this phones existence since march. they don't have to belong to a forum to be in the know. Not to mention. those that didn't know until the 1st RS add 2 weeks ago, what about them? do they know exactly how many people that saw that add will be buying? Premier customers who had no clue, but discovered through sprints site when they logged on the check out their account. Will they have enough to ship next day if they run out sure, that would be my guess. HOWEVER! sorry if I were to miss out on mine that I pre ordered, for ANY reason what so ever on launch day, or didn't pre order and went in to buy one and one was not available. It's a shortage. Where that shortage is located, may be a different story, but it's a shortage. So to say there will be no shortage is complete BS! I know there will be BB, RS, and sprint stores that run out of this phone, people will have to wait, hopefully just a day, but they will have to wait.

alright back to your gibberish now.
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
I bought 3 Evo's last year on my family plan, I have 2 upgrades this year one of them being my EVO line. I'm a 10 year customer so I'm a Premier gold customer without having to ask for it. So if two of my 3 evo's purchased last year can get upgrades that's 66% of the Evo's I own being eligible. The sample size is too small, but atleast it's factual data instead of a made up 90% of Evo owners won't get an upgrade.

BTW I was a Pre owner the year before.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Ok sprint employee/stock holder i know you want to start a bashing thread but i will not go there with you.

As for my 90% You think The people on these sites are all of sprint.We make up on these sites most likely 10% of EVO owners.

All you got to do is go read the evo forums on here ppc geeks and SU.

If you upgraded with the evo your upgrade is not there that simple.UNLESS you have extra lines to use to upgrade OR you are a gold membeer who gets a 1 line per year upgrade.

What you fail to admit is 90% of evo owners ARE NOT ON HERE so they do not have a upgrade ready.

AND WHAT DOES THE UPGRADE GOT TO DO WITH THE TOPIC?

SPRINT NOT ME SPRINT HAS SAID THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD BY HTC THERE WILL BE NO SUPPLY SHORTAGE

SPRINT! EVEN SAID THEY ARE MORE WORRIED ABOUT GETTING ALL THE ORDERS OUT DAY 1 THEN RUNNING OOS.

SO THERE IS NO NEED TO TRY AND DEBATE JUST BECAUSE YOU OWN STOCK OR

WANT TO FOR SOME REASON THINK THERE WILL BE A SHORTAGE OF EVO 3D'S

SPRINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAS SAID THERE WILL NOT BE 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
I understand as a sprint employee/stockholder you want to start a fight but hey sprint is the one who said there will be no shortage ITS THAT SIMPLE!

AND MY 90% IS A GUESS WHICH ACCORDING TO SPRINT REPS IS ABOUT RIGHT!

LASTLY SPRINT HAS SAID NOT ME SPRINT HAS SAID IF THEY RUN OUT DAY 1 THEY WILL HAVE MORE DAY 2 AND DAY 3 SO TALK AT THEM!
[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
Oh man the flaming before the phone even comes out is pure entertainment
[HTC EVO 3D] rrsweet:
Do you even read the crap you type?

YOU tell me what the upgrade has to do with this.

Direct quotes include...

VERY 1st post in this thread...

"#3 People who got the EVO of them more then 50% do not have a upgrade to use."

"And those who own a evo again less then 50% have a upgrade avil to jump to it."

Now we switch 90% not sure why but seems like a fun thing todo.

"They have a idea on how many they will sell.You must understand 90% of evo owners do not have a upgrade as has been stated in this thread and you can't go by on here because the amount of people on here make up just a small amount of evo owners."

little to no relation just a personal favorite... "I do NOT make up numbers."

Same post... "i gave 10% to the people calling up and asking for it to be moved up but i should have put 99% because since the evo has came out NOBODY WHO BOUGHT ONE HAS HAD IT LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE A FULL UPGRADE."

Alright but enough on the upgrade an number being made up...

And the point everyone is trying to make, if you would actually read and comprehend, is well a few things I'll skip the personal bashing though... the main one is this. SPRINT Can say whatever they want. Unless they ship 500 phones to each store on launch day it's not a sure thing. Sprint can say That Tomorrow at work I will get a paid day off. Could it happen? sure, I guess. Is it's 100% in the bag? Yeah, NO because they have ZERO control of the variables. Just like 100% of Evo owners could be up for the upgrade. Does that mean that that they will all jump to the E3D? NO! Do they know how many iPhone users are coming NO? Do they know if a midget will give me a lap dance? NO! Am I saying they have ZERO idea of approx. how many need to be in stores? NO! I'm sure they are paying some one six figures to figure that out. But like the weather man he/she isn't going to be dead on.

Also You just proved my point there are more Evo owners than are what are on these forums! I bet these forums do make up 10% (hey look we can agree) HOWEVER it's not just EVO owners jumping over to this phone, AND your number on # of Evo owners available for upgrade is just low! ( I don't have any numbers to back that up, but I every evo owner I know is elegible for upgrade, Yes I understand laws of averages so for every person like me who knows 5 people with the upgrade there is someone who know no one, even in that case that's 50%)

Also You don't even have to be a gold member, HA! That's funny I said gold memeber, you have to be a PREMIER MEMBER! and the main # on the account! trust me as a SILVER level , goes up to gold next June, I have a general idea on this fact!

FYI, Not a sprint share holder nor employee so I hope you foresight isn't the one guiding this E3D distribution.

Also I'm sorry if you think I'm attacking you just by calling you out on your BS. I'm just being honest with you and pointing out the fact.

[HTC EVO 3D] Vvlioncourtvv:
Just went to best buy to buy a new wireless n600 router. They just installed fiber optics in my neighborhood so needed an upgrade. Yes I'm bragging a lil sue me. But anyways I stopped by the mobile department to ask a few questions bout 3d launch day. I asked bout accessories, if they will open early, ect... Basic questions we all ask. I got no solid answers other than they will not carry the HTC branded case cause they only have contacts with otter box and platinum. I also asked how many preorders they had. He told me they had 15 preorders but turned away just as many due to the fact he was told not to accept any more preorders. He continued on to tell me that if they receive more than 15 3d's on launch day they are for walk ins only. Any other preorders will be marked for following shipments. I know this is due to my city being technically considered a small town. My town however is growing like crazy due to casinos being built and in my opinion in transition from small town to a growing city. With that said not all cities are going to have enough stock to meet demand. That may not be due to a shortage but the availability in each individual city. A city like new york city is obviously gonna have more than a city not on the map.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
I never stated that some and i stress some stores and area's will sell out day 1 But day 2 or 3 they will be back in stock unless you do not have a sprint store.

Sprint stores have stated if they run out day 1 they will get more in day 2 and 3 and have been assured of it.

Anyway it is not the big deal so many sprint reps on here are trying to make it out to be.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vvlioncourtvv:
What is up with this sprint rep conspiracy? Why is it if someones opinion differs from what u can tolerate they automatically work for or own stock in sprint. Sprint employees have nothing to gain by stating their opinion here. People surfing these boards have obviously already made their decision on if they are getting this phone. If they are indeed trying to persuade people to buy this phone using their personal opinions let them do that. This is America and that is their constitutional right.
