Yeah commuter couldn't find in stock its seems that they only have the defender but I feel that would be too big so I was force to purchase commuter from otterbox.Com I bought two one for me and other for my lady used to code AM2012 to save 5%off 50 and think 15% off 70 which is not much it's better then nothing
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bigmase23:
Well, not sure if UPS runs today, but I do have a little hope, supposedly, bb will call or email if some or any of the preorders fell through. They were giving them until yesterday to pick them up. We will see...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Skullmonkey:
I doubt it since my phone is still in Jacksonville. Supposed to be delivered tomorrow but I doubt it will.

Sent from my Transformer Prime!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ElephantKiller:
Possibly because normal supply chain logistics were disrupted and no one at Best Buy had any clear picture about where the phones were, let alone service level employees who have many other concerns besides when exactly you're going to get your new phone?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dsEVOlve:
Reserved my pre order on Friday with BB. Got an email early this morning saying my phone was ready for pickup. Excitement ensued, mowed the yard in anticipation if spending the rest of the day with my new phone. Halfway through mowing I got a call from BB. "Umm, I'm calling to inform you that our system sent those emails by mistake but we might have them tomorrow. We will call later today when we know more.". WTH?! I knew it was too good to be true to get a holiday delivery. Bummer. :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .Gibson.:
Wow that is some pages back there and days ago. Let me try to remember..... I believe he told us to stop crying because BB doesn't have have stock and it isn't their fault. I just wanted him to know we were crying because BB did nothing to fix an error affecting tons of online pre orders and even failed to send a general statement about the issue. So his blanket statement telling us to stop the QQ, there is no phones in stock was irrelevant. That is all.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] enyce9:
I pre ordered on friday afternoon and just recieved an email stating my preorder is available. :-) thanks bestbuy!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
So your store already got the 2nd shipment then? I preordered on thursday and haven't hurd ****.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lionclaw:
Were you able to pick it up? My wife got the e-mail this morning also, but they said they didn't get a new shipment yet, and it was sent in error.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SlapYoSelf:
Samething happened to me. Got the email stating the phone was ready for pickup. Once i got there, they said the email was sent in error and i have to wait til later in the week. This sux. Unrooted my epic touch for nothing. Atleast they gave me a free otterbox and car charger for the misunderstanding....Still sux tho
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] enyce9:
Yeah got it posting from it now just got home if anyone is in Yonkers ny go and pre order you can walk out with one today they had 3 cancelled preorders and I heard the employees say just fulfill them on the spot
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sslbaron:
You can try, buy good luck. They checked my upgrade status when I placed my preorder.

I guess it really doesn't matter because you can act like you are purchasing it at full price since no money exchanges hands until you pick it up. The only issue you may run into is if they call you sooner than the 1st because someone didn't pick up theirs because I think they only give you three days to pick it up. All this applies if you plan on picking it up in the store.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Tnman7:
Maybe I should just wait till Wednesday to do it. Wish I knew when the regular release was. I figure a bunch of people have a June 1st upgrade date since the 3D came out in the middle of June last year.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
Haha I called the BB I preordered from and the fellow told me NO EVOs are in the united states right now and they are still held up in customs. Yet when I preordered they told me they had a couple but are reserved for previous orders. Wow people are stupid and full of Crap.

Well I got REALLLLL lucky! I went into my local BB in Springfield PA on Thurs the 24th once I heard they were still accepting pre orders. They had just got in a batch of 8 being that they only had 8 total pre-orders. Mine made the 9th. Well short story everybody picked up theirs except for this one guy who came out but couldn't activate because he hadn't paid his bill. Well needless to say he never came back and I went this morning to pick up my new Evo4GLTE. Not to mention you can't beat the deals that BB gives out. I had bought my E4GT back in Feb. At that time I signed up for the Buy Back program and Phone Freedom. So today I walked in, sold back my E4GT, got $350 for it, $50 for pre-ordering the Evo and another $50 for the Phone Freedom thing. Walked out with new Evo, Otterbox Defender and car charger, didn't pay a dime and still have $100 in store credit.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Hopefully bestbuy's next shipment comes in this week!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mikee4fun:
I'm with you buddy, I am hoping so too, I just flashed to Sense 4.0 on my EVO 3D and cannot wait to start porting Dinik's Anastasia theme for the LTE

Package got shipped from Jacksonville about 2 hours ago. Might get it today after all!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bigmase23:
Up we go
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
What does that.mean lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Now with the holiday weekend behind us lets hope Sprint announces a national launch for one day this week. This would all but ensure bb would receive another shipment this week so that us that got left out in the cold on the first round can now have our phones!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Skullmonkey:
Mine is on the truck for delivery! Should be here around 4. Anyone else getting there today?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] masseyboy1990:
I preordered mine in store Friday. Been waiting on their shipment since then. Still don't believe their bs about Fedex not giving them tracking numbers for the shipments, but what can you do.

*viciously refreshes gmail*
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .Gibson.:
Mine too is on a truck and out for delivery. It says between 2-6pm CST.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shadowhawk2020:
I couldn't be more annoyed with Best Buy. One of the two phones I purchased has a camera defect. It makes the camera mostly unusable. I called the store on Friday when I first noticed the issue. True to form the regular workers in the mobile department were useless. My saving grace was that the manager in the department knew her stuff. So I asked for her, but she was busy with a customer. I them my number and was told she would call me back.

I never got a call, so since a few days past I figured I would call back. Well awesome, she is out until Thursday, and there is still no one besides her that can help.

They definitely had more preorders than phones, but I am expecting(my personal expectation) them to give me one of the next shipment... I will be pissed if I have to wait for all the preorders to be filled to get a working phone.

Plus every time I call I have to wait 10+ minutes just for customer service to pick up .
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bigmase23:
I called my BB this morning and there was 1 preorder that had not been picked up. She is looking into it and took my number and she will call me back if I can have it. Fingers crossed!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Tjwoo:
called my Local Best-Buy. They say they are not taking any more pre-orders :/
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Try a best buy mobile if u have one in ur city screw the best buy store for mobile is what I learned today
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blonde76504:
my BB still has not gotten their first round of pre-orders? is there any way that's possible, or could they just be giving me the run around. I am # 3 on the pre-order list.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mech8:
well best buy says they have got inventory for online preorders and are in process of filling alot of them atm. here's hoping. if not by next week i will prolly cancel my preorder and seriously consider the nexus s III
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikejones13:
I was getting told the phones weren't in yet, so I asked to speak to the STORE MANAGER. Once he got on the phone I explained the internal memo almost word by word and gave him the article ID. He put me on hold ran to the back of the store and they were in boxes, that were under a bunch of other boxes. He said if I wouldn't have called and he wouldn't have gone to the back, people wouldn't have gotten their phones until a NATIONAL RELEASE date was announced.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Lu

Galaxy nexus? Aka Epic touch? A almost year old phone?

Edit: never mind, the new Nexus
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Wrong wrong wrong the galaxy nexus is google experience pure ICS NOT KNOWN as epic touch that is the galaxy SII
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
I was talking about the technology being old.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Might be old but I have a gn on other line and its nice idk if its cause of the pure google experience or what but I honestly feel it was worth the $
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whaddupdoe:
So I preordered on last Thurs at BB, received a preorder email the same day. I figured Id call today to see if they've received any more phones. I told the lady my name and she said that they didn't have me in their preorder system. I asked her if she needed the order number and she said that they only had 2 evos and neither had my name on them. She said that I should have received a cancellation email but I didn't. She places me on hold them comes back and says that she has one more unclaimed evo and I can have it but they cant hold it for me. So hopefully they still have it when I get off work. With all that said, if you have a preorder with BB u better call them before they try to screw u over!!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Meanee:
Where was that? I can "hold it for you" :p
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
Sweet, just got mine today. Preordered Saturday..can't really mess with it until after work tonight.

You guys were right, it was 150$ at best buy for pre ordering.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
I still think that's crazy how people preordered a few days ago and already received theirs, I preordered mine last Thursday and would be surprised if I got it anytime before the end of the week atleast. I called my BB and the lady kinda hinted that they might be getting a shipment this afternoon so fingers crossed!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] re2gie01:
I wish I had such luck in Orlando. My BB only got 13 in, i'm #20 on the list. Called local Targets, Walmart's, Sam's, nobody has anything....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whaddupdoe:
Ill tell you after I go there lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blonde76504:
BB- now nothing in transit

i went to BB on my lunch and now they are saying they dont have any on the way? how is that possible- i pre ordered and there are 2 people in front of me. I am SO upset- now i have shot myself in the foot and its too late to pre-order and get one quick from any where else.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jeeplj8:
dude - try another location. mine had extras 5/24 when I picked mine up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Boostfreak:
Yup pre ordered mine on 5/26 picked up on5/27 I suggest you guys keep looking, if you can still pre order do it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Best Buy mobile in Salem NH has one in stock.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iamkoza:
I pre-ordered mine two weeks ago, the girl told me maybe 10 people had pre-ordered it. Then last Thursday I get a phone call saying my phone was in and I was one of the first people they had called... so I don't know, I live in the south chicago suburbs so it's not like I'm in the middle of no where.

Anyway, with trading in my old evo, the $50 pre-roder bonus and another $50 bonus, it was only $50 for the phone
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dsEVOlve:
Apparently the emails saying your preorder is ready for pick up are worthless right now. I got my 2nd one in 2 days but called to confirm. They still don't have any in and their email notification system "is all crazy messed up right now"-BB Mobile employee. She said thwy will call when the phones are in but I'll keep calling to confirm even if I get an email everyday. Meh.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blonde76504:
i am in central texas- anyone know of a store that has one- ill make a road trip. lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
Just called a local bb in LA that told me to call everyday to see when they expect to sell their stock. I was just told they should finish the preorders this week and expect the official launch at the end of this week. Hopefully the shipments are coming in so they have enough units

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] masseyboy1990:
My bb told me that they're backordered and have no clue when they will be getting shipments in. Atleast they still have my preorder in, so hopefully I'll be among the first to know when they do get phones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mengy007:
Just put in a pre-order at the BB in Murrieta. Got the pick up email like 30 mins later.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Robbzilla:
Ugh...

So Best Buy left off the suite number in my office building...

The UPS guy came in with 7 other boxes labeled to my company and dropped them off.

He didn't deliver my phone because there was no suite number, even though it was addressed to my company's name attn: me.

So now I have to drive across Dallas to pick up the piece after 8PM tonight, or wait until tomorrow, when I don't have time to go get it.... :mad:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Moose8106:
South Chicago Suburbs... Orland, Tinley, etc? You may have stolen my Evo LTE... I want it back. lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zackdadams:
Just canceled my Pre-Order with Wirefly, and Pre-Ordered with my local BestBuy.

Local BB told me they have already given some out to customers, and are awaiting a new shipment right now.

$199 - $50 credit - $110 for my EVO3D = EVOLTE for $40?

Can't go wrong there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CraigP17:
as long as they come in by 6/2...the $50 gift card promo ends that day.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whaddupdoe:
So I thought I was going to get my phone, when I got there the chick started to check me out and as I look at the box, I notice that the box that she had was a LG Viper, smh. Ended with no Lte
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] david279:
Those cardboard boxes all look a like.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bigmase23:
Well, persistence pays... I kept calling my local BB and she had one phone left from the first batch of preorders. She said I was next in line but somehow my preorder was showing as I declined it and the next person on the preorder list was sent an email stating he could come pick it up. When she called me back she had remembered my name and me calling and said to come in and she would sell me the phone and notify the person (whom I feel sorry for, well, a little) that he was now first to get one when the 2nd batch came in.

Moral of the story, be persistent, make sure they remember you!!!

p.s. $199 - $50 gift card - $105 evo 3d - $20 reward point gift card = $24 and some change for EVO LTE!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dsEVOlve:
Dude check Walmart. I am in RR and they had one more in stock. Staring at it now. Its mine!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
Some good news on the supply flow...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Meanee:
Wow, local Walmarts were huge waste of time. Their electronic departments have no idea what they are selling.

"Hi, I would like to know if you have any of Sprint's Evo 4G LTE phones in stock"

"I am sorry, we do not sell LG"

smh
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
I totally agree. I must have called 10 walmarts and none had them. I asked one lady if they have any EVO 4g LTEs and she responded with "Vizio?" They all probably had them they are all just to retarded.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DtownJeff:
Just cancelled with wirefly. When to BB. Pre ordered in the store. $50 off with GC and $62.00 for my nexus s. I did not even have to put money down or buy the card. Hopefully I will he getting a call soon to pickup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
Get to the back of the line! lol j/p you'll probably get your before I get mine Haha.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jackpearce:
Have they evaluated your phone for $110? I had my 3d in am Otterbox defender case fromthe day I bought it in the store till the day I trade it in, other than the occasional battery pull. They were like, "Yeah, this phone is scratched

on the edges, so we can only give you $65 for it." Not a scratch on the glass or on the back where the case rubbed it. It took the joy of getting the phone because I knew any other best buy would have given me the $110. But I wanted it right then and there, so I bit the bullet.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodrigosb:
I did the same. Wirefly was terrible giving me any information, BB at 23 St in NY took my preorder on Friday.

$50 GC for preorder + $100 buy back Evo 4G ($50 GC + $50 Evo), Evo LTE will cost me only $49 + taxes!!

Can't wait t to get my phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DtownJeff:
They had one to look at locked up behind the counter (not a dummy phone). He let me check it out. It is bad ass. I can't wait. (I have waited long enough, lol)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chrisfales:
Best Buy told me same thing about my 3D. Was in great shape but they "found" some flaws that justified $65 instead of the $110. I said no thanks and just took the $50 gift card, had another $50 gift card from work, bought a seido combo out the door for $150. Ended up selling my 3D on Craigslist the next day for $175. I'm a happy camper.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zackdadams:
My EVO3D is 3 days old, as Sprint just gave me a replacement, which local BB said was "Good Condition" for $110.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Where these at bbm stores or reg bb stores if I don't get 110 ill be so pissed
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crazyjoezx:
went ahead and preordered from BB today, figured Amz and Sprint are not taking them might as well get my name in BB while they are still taking them...

What really sold me is the guy on the fone said I get a $50 GC for preordering then another $50 GC when I pick up...get to the store and turns out I had to BUY the $50 preorder GC as a deposit , Im sure thats stated 100 times in this thread if I took the time to read it...I asked the guy how long will it be till they get any...said

"I duno, month maybe?" looking at my like I would know,(reminded me why i never go in BB)still got one for me and my kid since I have no where else to get it..but jimmies are rustled over the whole experience...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
They told me that too crazy n I left n went to bbm much better service there lol cause the 50$ gift card doesn't come from your own money as stated in PDFs many bb stores are fing ppl over
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crazyjoezx:
He did say I will get one "Free" $50 card, just the 1st one I have to pay for to "hold my place"

I have no idea what the phone freedom thing is, I know i didnt sign up for it so I prob wont get it...and for me to give them my Evo3D for $50 is just retarded, so Looks like I will just end up with one card, will make the phone $150 which is what I wanted to pay from Amz anyways
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Yeah hopefully ill get 110$ for my 3d if not ill go sell it to sprint probably to help pay the bill lol im gonna cheat with the few tiny scratches lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crazyjoezx:
Just read the doc here

http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...5a4f7/1/0/6/9/3/1/1/bestbuy_internal_memo.jpg

I thought that thumbnail in the 1st post was to the link, didnt realize it was another Doc all together from BB corp telling their staff NOT to charge customers the $50 up front ...thinking about printing this out and going in for a refund on the GC (which I know will be a pain) but keep my preorder...

I keep seeing ppl say Evos are poping up in walmarts and other random places...I would hate to be "Stuck" as preorder #99 at BB while the phones show up everywhere else but I cant get mine bc its not "my turn"...

Also you can get at least $150 on ebay for a Evo3D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Idk if I have the nerve and time to deal w eBay lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Tnman7:
Several people are saying Wal-Mart has them ins stock for around $158.00 Best buy should price match and with the $50 FREE for preorder you could get it down to $108 at best buy. This is going to be my approach, try to get bestbuy to price match Wal-Mart or Target (although Target says online only)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Will deff have to go to wally and check this out today or tomorrow

My BB Experience

So I ordered my phone on Thursday last week from BB online, just called today and asked why it had not shipped out yet. Put me on hold for a short period and then said the phone was backordered and he "pushed it through", and it should ship out in 5-7 days. Fingers crossed, would love to get this by the end of next week at the latest. :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
I preordered from best buy and started wondering off. I called 10 Walmarts and one of them had only got 1 in and I had to drive 45 mins away but I got it. This phone is crazy awesome.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sudhirkhanger:
Have not done much reading here. Please pardon me.

I have a few months left for Evo 3D. Sprint adds a line for LTE and then would cancel EVO 3D connection for a termination fee. Another $90 off for EVO 3D buy back and they might wave off $36 activation fees. I was wondering if I get phone from best buy line swap, buy back and activation will it be taken care of by Sprint? Or best buy?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] benthe1:
I'm a little confused but I think you're trying to ask about swapping phone numbers on new LTE and 3D so you keep your old number? That's handled by Sprint, and it's a pain in the neck to find the right person to do it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sudhirkhanger:
No, basically Sprint replaces my old phone (3D) with newer phone (LTE) without changing number, plan or account. I did this with OG EVO and got 3D but it was all done by Sprint, so, it was quite hassle free.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dre22era:
So I received my email notification from Best Buy this morning saying my phone is ready. Never cancelled my preorder after I bought my phone from Walmart

I guess today is the day for many people waiting for their preorders especially since I preordered my phone this past Friday
