People can think whatever they want lol i do not care i just state facts and when people question my facts i defend it.

Sprint itself said there will be no shortage of them and they are more worried about getting the orders out then stock.

Anyway to each his own it really does not matter what amy of us think what will be will be.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vvlioncourtvv:
This is really a stupid arguement cause everyone is both right and wrong. Some places will have a shortage some places will have plenty of stock. Some places will get restocked 2-3 days after some will not. It all depends on ur city.
[HTC EVO 3D] IceCreaMan:
agreed agreed
[HTC EVO 3D] berardi:
this thread is hilarious. what is happening to xda? people are going batty. =/

this makes me wonder if the reason I loved android before was because it wasn't popular and all the fuktards didn't blow stuff up.
[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
Word!

At the same time, XDA is having growing pains because of the noobs. Let's help them with noob questions, they were smart enough to not go iphone. As for flaming, everyone should pick one side and flame the other guy LMAO
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
Yes it is annoying some noob questions and repetitive thread starts but flaming isn't the answer .

Although it is funny it keeps new users from asking questions that can be simply answered .

New users should learn to research as much as possible before starting new threads or look through pages .. not being police but I just see it as unnecessary..

Thanks guys
[HTC EVO 3D] ldominguez1986:
I have a quick question? How many people here who think the evo won't sell out pre-ordered the phone? If the evo 3D won't sell out then why pre-order If you can just walk in and pick one up.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
For the Love of God do i have to say this again! HTC HAS TOLD SPRINT THERE WILL BE NO SUPPLY SHORTAGE! and local sprint stores have said they will have plenty of stock and if they sell out will have them back in the next day and the next day as needed.

This has been said over and over how many times do you have to hear it? as for why people pre ordered? people did because of what happened with the EVO and also some stores like BB and RS will sell out day 1 in some areas and some areas it won't BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE A OVERALL SHORTAGE OF EVO'S now go check your stock quot it may have went up a 1/16th.

People always put the deposit down on video games phones etc this assures them of a easy time and a guarantee there store does not sell out.
[HTC EVO 3D] ldominguez1986:
You reserve a game to guarantee you will have it. I bet you pre-ordered and if so why? I understand there won't be a shortage overall but if your so positive about it why would you pre-order
[HTC EVO 3D] Vvlioncourtvv:
I saw on tv it must be true. I read it on the net so its gotta be true.
[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
OP, are you also the Engadget reviewer? LOL
[HTC EVO 3D] AyyRayy:
^ Lmfaoooo. Oh and OP go to Amazon wireless for some reason the E3D is in the top ten best selling phones of all time. You were right no one bought this phone. Sikeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

:D
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Do you work for HTC? how do you know they have told sprint this?

btw when the Evo came out even after the first day of sales sprint reps at every local store said they should be getting some of the new phone the next day and every day after long as they sell out of them. BUT......that didn't really happen so ...
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Not that i have to answer you how i know but if you must know FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THE 1000000 TIME I HAVE SAID THIS SPRINT! SPRINT! SPRINT! SPRINT! HAS SAID THEY WERE ASSURED OF NO SHORTAGE FROM HTC.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD READ THE POSTS.

AND IF YOU MUST KNOW WHERE SPRINT SAID IT IT IS ON THERE WEBSITE IN THERE FORUMS WHEN THE QUESTION WAS ASKED.

just pisses me off to no end when people have to question even facts! sprint is more worried about getting orders out the then stock.

Because THE EVO HAD A SHORTAGE NOW THE EVO 3D MUST ALSO GOD HATE NOOBS.
[HTC EVO 3D] tornadog:
I pre ordered through bestbuy a week back, and my order is saying backordered.is that normal, out does best buy have a supply shortage?
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
UMMMM they are not in stock yet hence the back order till the 24th lol at some of these noobish questions
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
no need to be a complete ****.

thats like saying Because iPhone had a shortage then iPhone2 wouldn't....but pretty sure iPhones every time get backordered in the beginning.

And your proof of evidence is complete junk. They said it on their forums? GTFO!

Thats like trusting the Sprint Chat rep that I could go pick my Evo up in store on the 21st.
[HTC EVO 3D] YoungSinema:
I don't know if this means anything or not, but the rep I spoke to at my local store said that the people who preordered phones were the only ones guaranteed a phone on the 24th. He said something about every time there's a preorder, the store will receive 2 phones or something like that. For instance, if my local store are due to receive 30 phones, then I preorder one, then they'll receive 32. He said something about rush delivery orders or something during the final week to make sure they have enough phones in stock.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vvlioncourtvv:
So ur "proof" of sprints assurance of no shortage is a sprint rep posting it at sprints forum? REALLY!.... REALLY!.... Should we mention all the other things sprint reps have said or posted?
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
Well I don't know if there will be a shortage but according to Amazon wireless going off of preorders only the 3d has entered the top ten of sales ever for a cell phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] ydoucare:
I lol'd.

10char
[HTC EVO 3D] ldominguez1986:
HAHAHAHA, I think it's funny how worked up you get by some questions. You still haven't answered my question if you pre-ordered or not. Because if you did, then you don't believe your own bull****.
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
Why are people arguing over this
[HTC EVO 3D] luckychef28:
1. Let's see...in the past week I talked to 4 Sprint reps about a single issue on my account and received 4 different answers. Most of the time they just repeated whatever crib sheet answers the CSR book told them to say. (When I sent an email about 3D pre-order shipping to Premier customers they replied with the EVO 3D/EVO View press release - not an actual answer). They are also notorious for spitting out anything to get you off the phone/out of chat not pissed off at them - ie, they WILL lie. I was lucky to finally contact a rep that gave me his personal email address and solved my problem. My point is, you cannot believe everything you're told.

2. Pre-orders are just insurance of getting your device. There's even a chance your pre-ordered phone will not be there on launch day. It happens, but you won't run the risk of being SOL for weeks.

2A. To the one's who said some places will experience shortages and some will not: Exactly right.

3. Upgrades are a funny thing and you can qualify in 1 year a few ways. You can change from individual to family and they will likely upgrade both lines (happened for me). Corporate customers are every year - Android phones are EXCELLENT business devices. Customers who have experienced problems can sometimes complain enough to get an upgrade. Of course, Gold customers.

3A. Also look at ebay EVO sales over the last year. They sold like frickin hot cakes! These people are, for the overwhelming most part, those who wanted the phone, with no option for an upgrade last year. But they are do for 2011.

4. Agreed, no one knows how many non-EVO, non-Sprint customers are looking forward to this release.

5. Your statistics are COMPLETE CRAP. I'm guessing you failed math as you obviously failed English.

Have a nice day.
[HTC EVO 3D] AyyRayy:
+1 to that. Agreed
[HTC EVO 3D] rrsweet:
2 things!

1) glad to see this thread is still alive and entertaining. congrats folks :D

2) Slightly sad that my response with direct quotes from crazies previous post were ignored. When it left him with no argument.

Oh well carry oh folks! May be one of my favorite threads yet!

Also to jump in on the popular theme. WE ARE TAKING THE WORD OF SPRINT???? does this really seem like the best or even a logical idea?
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
first post enough said lol what a loser.also this was not on the phone it was posted on the sprint forum AND NOBODY ASKED THE QUESTION!
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY? you have sprint reps you have sprint stockholders you have 3rd party sprint store workers.

You have all these people on here who just like to argue.I mean Sprint for the LOVE OF GOD is the one who said it and this is after they HAVE THEM IN STOCK.

SPRINT! NOT ME SPRINT SAID THEY ARE MORE WORRIED WITH GETTING ORDERS OUT IN THE MAIL THEN RUNNING OUT GEZZZ AND THIS IS NOT FROM A REP BUT FROM THERE OFFICE TO THERE MOD WHO POSTED IT ON THERE FORUMS.

BUT YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER HOW MANY SPRINT REPS/STOCK HOLDERS/HTC/PEOPLE WHO JUST LOVE TO ARGUE ARE ON HERE.

AND YOU GOT TO LOVE THE GUY MAKING UP A ACCOUNT TO HIDE WHO HE REALLY IS TO MAKE HIS FIRST POST LOL BEST ONE IN THIS THREAD YET.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
hahaha you think sprint stock holders are on xda trying to pump up hype over evo3d lol. GTFO

Show me where sprint put out an OFFICIAL press release saying there will not be a shortage at all. Not some redic forum post on sprints forums which are run by reps no more knowledgable than sprint chat reps.

For your sake I hope there isn't a shortage b/c the backlash your going to hear over all this BS you keep pushing is gonna come back at you 10fold.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
I am NOT your fan Boy you go on there and look and maybe you will see it.I am so tired of all the sprint hypers or people who just love to argue still go on about this.If you read back i think i even copy and pasted it but you can think what you want for whatever reason you have for thinking what they said is not true.

There are MANY sprint reps HTC reps who hang out around here...Backlash against me? HAHAHAHAHAHHAA for posted what SPRINT SAID NOT ME BUT SPRINT WHAT A LOSER TO HAVE TO ARGUE ME POSTING WHAT SPRINT ITSELF POSTED ON THERE OWN SITE LOLZ
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowhawk2020:
Their

The correct word is Their.

Example:

There goes another preorder out the door.

Their website said they wouldn't sell out.

But they're selling like hotcakes...
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Loser i think i spelled that right huh?

And i did post it in this thread the release from sprint so you sprint fan boys can go look it up if you want.

Always can tell a sprint Fan boy they love to argue and will even try to get a thread closed just ask on SU.COM

Many threads on SU.COM people beg with others not to argue with the sprint fan boys cause the thread will be closed since SU.COM is really tuff about that going on in a thread there. lolz at some of you on here.
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowhawk2020:
Tough, the correct word is tough.

Example:

rdcrds thinks he is tough, but he is really just an internet troll.
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowhawk2020:
BTW, can you tell me what makes you capitalize Fan boy, but not one I in your whole post?
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Internet troll? i think you know that word very well since that is what you are lolz.

I post what sprint comes out and says and you want to argue it with me? LOLZ that is funny.

HEY LETS START A THREAD CALLED THERE IS A EVO 3D SHORTAGE THEN YOU CAN BE HAPPY OK?

FORGOT IT IS SUNDAY SPRINT FAN BOYS ARE OFF WORK FROM SPRINT EARLY
[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
They are still at the Mall kiosk on the West Coast LOL

Dude, seriously though, you say these guys are trolling but you keep responding. Just let it go and see who is right on Friday.
[HTC EVO 3D] ldominguez1986:
Hahaha, dude you sound like a crazy dude going on and on about some inside information that the world is ending in x amount of time. And you sit here and cry like a baby when anyone questions you. I thank you for all this entertainment you have provided me with. Hahaha
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Yeah i only respond when someone questions me because i only posted what sprint said and now the sprint Fan Boys are having a fit they may lose some sales or something.

I mean it is not like i posted what i think but what sprint has posted on there forum and not even a phone call but it is posted right on there site in there forums lolz.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Only because i have posted what sprint said and that is it lolz not what i think but what sprint has posted and it is still on there site lolz.

will the sprint fan boys feel better if we post a thread and call it there is going to be a EVO 3d shortage?
[HTC EVO 3D] ldominguez1986:
What the hell is a Sprint "Fan boy"
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
Why do people even care what is posted in this thread. Anyone who wants to guarantee themselves a E3d on the 24th would just pay the $50 somewhere and pre-order.

If you want to chance there being enough inventory on the 24th without pre-ordering then you must really not care if you get the phone on day 1 or not so who really cares anyway.
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowhawk2020:
I am already happy. I preordered my phone, I will have one on Friday :) Sprint and HTC may have the greatest intentions of delivering thousands of 3ds every week. But you never know what might happen.

Will it? Time will tell, but I have learned over the years that if I want something don't wait for everything to fall into place, in case the worst case scenario plays itself out.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapSilicon:
hope come Friday most of these threads get wiped
[HTC EVO 3D] Vvlioncourtvv:
Kinda funny how you keep throwing out accusations about sprint "fanboys". The last I checked you were the one defending what a sprint mod said in a forum. We are all questioning ur faith in said mod and what the mod said. My local best buy has a total of 30 evo 3d's coming. That is about average from what I have seen on these boards. I should also note that is the same amount they had last year for the evo og. So a total for my city is likely less than 200-300 available evo 3d's. My city is full of tech junkies. I do not see my city meeting the demand so I see a shortage in my area coming. But I guess since ur sprint mod says there will be no shortage in a forum my city should have no worries.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
You do realize you are the ONLY one arguing and pretty much single handely keeping the argument alive in this thread. Well sprint said many things through their reps so till you get it through your thick head nothing is set in stone less its an official PR release then I guess this will continue to go on. Its sad you keep this up, as all of us are just trying to make you realize some post or announcement on their forums by whoever means jack. Anything short of an official PR release or something on the EVO page itself is subject to being complete BS.
[HTC EVO 3D] alchemist316:
Is this thread getting to a point at all?
[HTC EVO 3D] rrsweet:
you mean besides entertaining? Yeah probably not. I'm just looking forward to this still being a relevant, and entertaining thread come Friday night/ Saturday. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
Oh man this thread is going to blow up in the OP's face if he is wrong LOL
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
You mean sprint right? i only quoted what sprint said in a press release.And for the 1000'th time some stores will sell out day 1 but a shortage means you can't find one at any place no sprint store no RS no sprint online then there is a shortage.But if 1 best buy sells out that does not make a shortage if you can still get it other places.

LOL at the people who love to hype something that is just not there go for it hype it awayyyyyyy there is going to Be a shortage OMGGGGGG HURRY RUN CAMP OUT LOLZ.
[HTC EVO 3D] ldominguez1986:
What is a Sprint "Fan boy"
[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
I know its not a shortage when a few stores sell out and others dont. You haven't caught on that most of these guys are just giving you a hard time LOL

I actually wanted to camp out for this phone tho. I've never camped out for something like this before. I'd like to say I've done it and also to generate more hype for the phone. I'm a big HTC fan boy!
[HTC EVO 3D] toxicfumes22:
Im an HTC 'Fan Man' getting my first non windows mobile phone for some time now.
[HTC EVO 3D] mayfield103:
I camped out for the wii it cold and I was third from last get one there were alot of angry moms who didn't get one it was hilarious.

don't forget to bring a towel!
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
I camped out only for the ps3 because i knew i could make a bundle on it with my Son and my Daughter and me.We got 2 after staying out all night .

The PS3 was a totally different ballgame lol
[HTC EVO 3D] ldominguez1986:
Was the PS3 shortage just hyped up by Sony Fan boys as well?
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Press release???? where is the press release. last time i check mod posts dont count as press releases.
[HTC EVO 3D] Night·Fire:
I didn't think anyone still relied on what anyone from Sprint said on the Sprint forums... When I had my Blackberry and they were having MMS issues, Sprint said they would have it fixed within a week to a month.... 9 months later there was still no fix and I had an Evo...

I don't know if it's been fixed yet....
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
No.. shortage means its hard to find one. It doesn't have to be out of stock at every store that sells it.
[HTC EVO 3D] nebenezer:
I hope they do run out. There's just something special about each new generation of our beloved tech and the hype that is generated leading up to the ultimate day_of_days... LIKEOMIGAWDITSRELEASEDAY!!!1!

I've camped out a few times. It's fun :), it's a right of passage into the new good ****. It's a burden outweighed by the euphoria that comes from being among the first (few million, lol) to behold the elegant beauty of whatever gadget finally arrives on the consumer market.

caveat: the og evo shortage was absurd, months of back-ordering is just a loss. Not flooding the market on launch day then having plenty of stock to satisfy demand would add to the excitement :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Vvlioncourtvv:
I know I'm not mistaken. You said before it was said in a forum. Now you claim it was in a press release. Get your facts straight. Where was it posted a forum or a press release?
[HTC EVO 3D] Vvlioncourtvv:
People are having loads of trouble ordering the 3d at the moment. I'm not claiming there is currently a shortage. But if you think about it it would actually be a great marketing strategy for sprint. You release a phone early to premier customers sellout of ur limited supply or what you set aside for that promotion. You call sprint to get ur early premier order and they say we are sold out or the early purchase its no longer available. Next thing you know the headlines all over the net talk about evo 3d shortage. Its rather genius cause it will cause a rush on friday cause people will think they are much more rare than they think thus creating a real shortage thus raising the demand even more welcome to evo round 2

Rest in peace Ryan Dunn
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Yeah no shortages yet if you order now you get BACKORDER Status!! lol
[HTC EVO 3D] dadoc04:
lol.... i was just sbout to post this when i saw your status in the other thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] dazabale:
I manage a Radio Shack and we are getting many more phones above what we got in pre-orders. When the original evo came out we only got a few above the pre-orders.

I played with our Sprint rep's 3D today and it really feels nice in your hand. Sense does not seem to lag it at all. Ran quadrant ant it scored an 1845, I expected higher but felt snappy enough in real use.
[HTC EVO 3D] Greenkknight101:
i don't know about you guys, but at least in the silicon valley there is a HUGE shortage of these phones. The sprint store i went to told me they had 120 pre-orders, and only 50 phones for today. They were expecting another 30 or so on monday.... and they didn't know when the next batch after that was...
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
uh ohhhhhhh
[HTC EVO 3D] Vvlioncourtvv:
My town too is in this situation. All locations are out of available stock and just handing out the preorders. They also have not been informed of when the next shipments will be. Well at least thats what they are telling us. This is info I was given at sprint, target, rs and best buy. Luckily I preordered and will have mine after work. But I would not panic just yet over a shortage since we dont know anything about tge next shipments. When its impossible to order online is when I feel a shortage has happened.
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
It seems to be quite the opposite here in North ATL. The Sprint stores still have plenty and the Radio Shack guy told me that they had only sold 4 outside of their 14 pre-orders. He said it was "unusually slow" for a new phone release.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vvlioncourtvv:
I live in a growing city but is still considered a smaller town. I dont think they anticipated the demand for this phone in my city.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Best buy RS SPRINT WIREFLY ALL have loads of EVO 3D'S i guess Sprint was right.I ordered a extra 1 on sprint.com at 3pm yesterday and it came today.

No shortage of EVO 3D'S.
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
got my evo 3d at 5:30 pm today from the local sprint store and he didn't say anything about it being one of the last ones
[HTC EVO 3D] tmacgarris6727:
they have plenty because people dont have upgrades and most people are buying the evo 4g because it drop to 100 bucks
[HTC EVO 3D] dcfella:
Went to a mall in Maryland today after work. Best buy mobile, Sprint Kiosk, RS, and Sprint authorized dealer all had plenty of E3D left. While I was at each location, there was no other person there looking for one. Stark contrast to last year's Evo release which was way packed.

I will say that after hearing all the bad reviews, I kind of made up my mind to get the GS2. However, playing with the E3D today really impressed me. I think the size is better(for me) and the 3D effects really look much better than I expected. I took some pics and some short videos, all of which looked pretty cool. No headaches either. I'm now leaning towards unrooting and trading in my phone for a E3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] nebenezer:
I walked into a Sprint store this afternoon just to see the phone, they had a wall of them, lol

I just couldn't wait until Monday for Amazon I traded my phone and $400 and got my launch-day wish after all :D

This thing is freakin bad. Speaker phone could be louder and the camera button and switch could be tighter. Otherwise I'm very impressed so far.
[HTC EVO 3D] DataDork:
walked into a sprint store today, they literally had a back off filled from bottom to top of them.. pretty funny.. most people in the store had them or were in the process of buying them.

i doubt there will be a shortage NOW.. but if this continues say in the next few weeks then there might be a back order then.
[HTC EVO 3D] sabertwist:
I live in Chicago. When I picked up my pre-order at 5:30pm, there were 10 people already ahead of me. When I got to counter, I overheard a lady stating that 2 other Best Buy stores had instructed her to try this store because they ran out. She had pre-ordered 2 EVO 3D and BB sold one of them.

Wow...they selling pre-orders to walk-ins......what a shame.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
Went to an authorized sprint retailer (hermitage, pennsylvania) at 11am this morning (they opened at 8) and the rep showed me the stock of about 25 3ds that he still had behind the desk. Said I was only the second sale today (the first was still sitting with the other rep learning to use her new phone.)

But he did say "once these are gone, it may be a while before we get anymore"
[HTC EVO 3D] Greenkknight101:
Maybe it's just cause i'm in the silicon valley here in san jose. People go crazy over anything tech related. But yeah man, people are going from sprint store to sprint store with no luck on getting a 3d.

Luckily i preordered, and showed up right when they opened. Got mine before they ran out and man is it sick!
[HTC EVO 3D] tablo:
Bought an EVO 4G about 3 weeks ago and I am exchanging it for the 3VO. I had to do it over the phone because I'm on a SERO P plan. I ordered mine this afternoon and not getting it until Monday. :(((
