I chatted with WF earlier this morning and was told "You must wait." If I could have reached through the monitor I would have. I called CS to complain about their chat CSR, and was not allowed to speak to a supervisor. I was put on hold, 3 times while she supposedly fetched one, but came back every time saying her supervisor was still helping another customer. Eventually I gave up.

BTW, my whereismyorder screen still say awaiting inventory.

how do i do a screen shot!

Well $130 for the people who got in on the F&F $119.99 price. I guess it would be $100 for people who paid their "normal" $149.99 sales price, and that's assuming you didn't have to pay tax. Like for me, since I'm in California, the device would have cost close to $260 had I gone through Sprint directly.

PrtScn key and then paste into paint and save?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mlin:
I see, I forgot WF was tax free. For me the savings would've only been $60 when compared to Sprint, tax in Colorado was $15 and because WF was offering the phone for so cheap, SPrint offered to waive the activation fee.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] darwin619:
Ya guys. Don't ask them a question if you don't want to be lied to...duh!

Dumbest thing I've seen on a forum in a while, and that is saying something.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Art2Fly:
That's basically what the email said earlier this week, except with the addition of Tuesday as a minimum date. I was wrong with my Friday prediction. Sprint is the culprit here, not wirefly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DtownJeff:
Starting to read some of the newer posts. Seems to be a lot of complaints about wifi and button layout. My Nexus S 4G had a terrible radio on release day and it was fixed in an update.....but the issues that people are posting are starting to add up. This has me worried.

Every time I grab an HTC phone I am interested in trying a sense based product. It my be hard for me to leave Samsung and this is giving me way too much time to think about it.

I'm Sammy by nature, not cause a hate ya.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] davidlightle:
Sort of. We were under the impression Wirefly was getting phone stock in directly from HTC, so at the same time that everyone else was. Which means, we should've been getting delivery updates alongside Sprint and Best Buy customers. Plus they kept implying it was going to be happening soon (starting Tuesday/Wednesday). Well, more like soon(tm).

Either way, if Radio Shack is getting shipments, and those are delivered via Wirefly, why are we still out in the cold? I wouldn't say Wirefly isn't at fault in this completely.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alchemist316:
WiFi is better on this than my sgs2 which is on the newest modem with horrible reception like the past 4 in my area I think WiFi is fine . Button layout takes getting used to but with mods soon I'm sure it will be less of an issue
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mlin:
WiFi on my EVO is better than both my NS4G and iP4s. In one room of my house the NS4G doesn't even recognize that my WiFi network is within range. My HTC phones have always had better signal strength than my Samsungs though this only includes: EVO 4G vs Epic 4G, EVO 3D vs SGS2, EVO LTE vs NS4G.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rdeets:
I just sent the following message to the Wirefly account on androidcentral forums. Hopefully it is legit.

I'll update if I get a response.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DtownJeff:
Thanks for calming me down. Your right. The devs will have them fixed in no time. I have installed some mik mik roms for friends and they are bad ass. Dev community on the nexus is great but the evo devs have a strong following.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JGillis2391:
If we were to cancel our orders now and order from Best Buy, which do you guys think we'd get first?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SDRaver:
simplexity wooohoo
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Art2Fly:
How do I get the Bluetooth headset?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SDRaver:
you chat with them and tell them that overnight shipping is not enough..

they are the cheap Bluetooth anyways.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] detcup4evr:
Maybe I am missing something, but the way I understand it an online preorder is where u order the product online and they ship it to you to have around release date, it doesn't mean you get it before it was released.

I have preordered dvds from amazon, sometimes they ship from a warehouse near me and I get it a day before release date, other times I get it the day of release, and other times I get it after release date

I am as antsy as everyone here to get my LTEvo but I preordered expecting wirefly to ship a night or 2 before release date so I would get it on or a day after release.

Did you guys see wirefly say you would get the phone before release as I thought only sprint preorders were coming early?

The real issue is that Sprint hasn't announced the date due to backlog caused by customs wirefly's EVO could of missed their train, and they are having trouble getting them on another,

My guess is the delay in release date announcement is sprint is making sure every one has the supply, and it is proving difficult to add shipments last minute to trains,trucks, and planes.

Now with that said, come on Sprint and figure this out, get devices into hands of consumers!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rdeets:
I agree with everything you said, I just have something to add.

I don't understand why there would be a backlog. I know customs delayed the release of the phones into the country, but it should have had no effect of phones coming to the country.

My understanding is that customs is actually inside of the Sprint UPS warehouse. The were detained inside of customs inside of the warehouse. Once the phones were released, all Sprint/UPS had to do was distribute them to their correct channels.

There were some reports that UPS/Sprint was actually allowed do work on preparing the phones for shipment while they were inside of customs.

Once the hold was released, it shouldn't have been an issue getting the phones to direct order customers, Sprint stores, and third party distributors.

The only thing I can think is that Sprint was short-sighted and didn't order enough phones to fill all Sprint and third party preorders, and by default, not enough to fill Sprint stores.

I'm guessing that is why a new launch date hasn't been set.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Matstarr:
The problem here is the lack of info that Wirefly is giving paying customers. The reason you were forced to guess what is really happening is because of Wireflys piss poor communication. I can guarantee you if they would tell people what is going on, the situation would be very different.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] five40:
It's probably Sprint's fault and Wirefly not wanting to sour the business relationship between them and Sprint so they are keeping quiet.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RyanInAj:
I got a slight update on my order receipt.

Nothing huge, but something.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bootlooper:
Lest there were any doubt

Just because I haven't posted in a while...

The question in the chat window was regarding the distribution center weekend schedule. Note the improper scripted answer below.

Diego: Hi . Thank you for contacting our chat support group. I'd be glad to help you with the concern.

Diego: How are you doing today?

Me: ok

Diego: That's great!

Diego: For security reasons, could you please verify the last four digits of your Social Security Number?

Me: ####

Diego: Thank you for the verification.

Diego: Unfortunately, distribution center does not work on weekends for us.

Me: so there is no need to check the order status page because tuesday is now the earliest the phone will ship?

Diego: Unfortunately, I cannot assure you; however, once we receive the phone, we will ship the orders to our customers.

Me: nevermind. thanks for your time

Diego: You are welcome.

Diego: Is there anything else I can do for you today?

Me: no

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RyanInAj:
Hmmm, weird. That's the first time I've seen it and I've been checking almost every hour since last weekend. I ordered on the 17th, maybe that has something to do with it.

yes i know i am. ive talked with two different WF reps and havent said anything except ill get it when its out. What can i do to fix it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilentSummer:
Wow lots of pages to catch up from since this morning and not one single solid piece of update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RyanInAj:
Yep - a whole lotta nothin
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
Karma for bragging of your savings;)

Edit: double karma:)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jimmyg41:
I don't mind the extra wait...it's worth the savings to me. I'm not the type of person that needs to have it the day it comes out. The thing is that this whole thing has been a mess. Oh well...I'm sure most of us will have our phones sometime next week.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Art2Fly:
Hahaha it's a phone dumbass $100 of savings for a phone is way better than getting it a week before.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
Mean...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jr71x:
I'm gonna go on a hunt to physical stores tomorrow and see what I can find out... Anyone canceled? I know the logistics of someone that canceled still reading this post but hey, ya never know...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JGillis2391:
I'm doing the same thing - I've been calling local stores to see if they have stock. I chatted with a Best Buy Mobile associate online and she told me personally that I wouldn't cancel my order at this point. I got less bull from a competitor than I have with the company I actually gave my money to. I don't like Wirefly right now at all :/
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] compneo:
$100 wasted.

Edit: $200 wasted.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alchemist316:
Why can't we just enjoy it jealously and bragging is not needed at all :/

Although I originally ordered with wf I went with sprint .

I saved with sprint because they messed up on something so the phone cost near nothing but took 5 days of talking to get it done .

Point is although fun some get to into the back and forth crap
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] compneo:
If we didn't have some fun, what else would we do? We don't have phones, remember?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alchemist316:
I also remember threads being closed because trigger happy mods
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TMartin:
I disagree. Sprint and Best Buy customers are already receiving their devices.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] theoner1:
More than $130 saving for me, Im in Cali no sales tax. So a week late is nothing I'd cry about.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flex360:
lol

hope you guys get your phones next week

im enjoying this bad boy right here :)

to me it was worth going through sprint
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stubby1:
Don't forget that Radio Shack is also receiving phones for pre- orders and they get theirs from WF's parent company, simplexity. So they must have the product but may not be able to ship because of contractual obligations with sprint....

I thought the whole idea of this pre order was to get the phone on or as close to the release date as possible. That date looks to be June 1.

cheers

I need to find another rom to put on my OG Evo might as well play....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] detcup4evr:
I read somewhere that some of the ESN numbers on the boxes don't match the phone, some kind of HTC packaging error.

I am thinking since wf does some preactivation prior to shipping, this might be more problematic for them, where as brick and mortar stocks can just grab the ESN off the phone.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] unit713:
Cool story bro.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LTEvo:
Yea, you know you are going to end up buying a sd card, media link, and/or case.

I look at it like. I would rather wait a week or 2 and have a phone + media link or sd card.

Instead of just the phone right now.

I know some guys on the WF can't seem to control themselves. Getting all huffy and puffy they might have to wait a week or 2 :rolleyes:. Jeez, if the 100$ in saving wasn't worth it, you should have just preordered with Sprint.

****. I walked into BB yesterday to refund my GC. And the lady asked if I wanted to pick up my phone. It wasn't easy, but I said no.

At the end of the day, it is just a phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] darwin619:
I'm pissed because I had to extend my verizon plan an extra month, thereby costing myself more money than if I had preordered through sprint.

Wirefly shipped and activated the other phones on my plan ahead of the announced delay, so I have no choice but to put up with their bull**** lies and garbage CS.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LTEvo:
You might actually have a legit gripe.

However had 2 questions:

1) With wirefly since you activated your other phones you are not in violation of their TOS. So why couldn't you cancel the order for the LTE? since you never had the phone, you can't technically be in violation of the TOS.

2) Also if you get the phone in the next week. You could cancel the verizon, since you are a month to month. So it won't be a total loss.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] focbuster78:
Htc Evo LTE, free bluetooth headset, free case, free 1 day shipping and $10.00 google wallet credit. All this for $119.99 (no tax) sounds like a pretty good deal to me, that makes it worth the wait.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] darwin619:
If I cancelled my LTE, I would have to pay full retail somewhere else since I now have an active line with Sprint and can no longer take advantage of the new activation discount.

I can cancel my Verizon as soon as I get the phone, but I still had to pay for this month when I shouldn't have if the phone had arrived.

Shipment on its way to WF now!

They will ship to us as soon as they receive it!

Old news is old. Same bs they have been spitting for 2 days.

10 buck google wallet is for everyone, us sprint ppl got it too
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jimmyg41:
So who sends us the free case...Sprint or Wirefly?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RyanInAj:
I'm under the impression the case is from Sprint. Their way of saying sorry for the delay at Customs or something like that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zackdadams:
Just spoke with WF.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LTEvo:
so wouldn't you get a partial refund, for the unused part of the month? Assuming your new billing cycle started on the 18th. Especially since phone was originally slated for the 18 th and now released on 24th. So as of now delay is two days.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CarmelSack:
Nothing new. I don't know why people keep bothering to wasting their time with WF customer service.

I pretty sure we won't be getting free cases. That was only for Sprint pre-order customers.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rdeets:
The free case you're referring to is a Sprint only promotion. I.S.N. has stated this. It is up to third parties individually as to whether they are going to participate in that promotion, do an alternate promotion, or do nothing at all.

When news broke that WF orders would be delayed 2-3 weeks, some people were able to use that to get a free case and bluetooth. The cases only lasted a couple of days.It seems since WF sent the e-mail in the middle of the week, they have been less lenient to give out the bluetooth. Next Business Day shipping seems to be on a CSR by CSR basis.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Droiddinho:
for these hassles I require a free microSD card...32GB please!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] darwin619:
Now this is interesting. Mine hasn't changed though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] unit713:
I just hope to get mine before thursday, since I am moving and don't want to have to deal with the shipping hassle.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nandre:
Yeah, it might just be a fluke in the system. I've had the same message for the past hour...

And if I go the address that it used to direct me to (wirefly.com/ecommerce/customer-support/OrderStatus.aspx?orderid=XXXXX...) I still have the same, three check marks.

Oh well... The corporate Wirefly rep slipped my preorder number to me, so I hopefully will be getting it in the first batch.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jayman907:
Just chatted with WF and in like 60 seconds was able to get upgraded to overnight shipping. They still had nothing further about when they will receive them to ship out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilentSummer:
Being a holiday weekend you may as well put this thread on ice until Tuesday morning barring any new developments.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jpkotor:
I still only have 2 checkmarks. I ordered mine on the second day (I had on the first, then canceled and reordered on the second for the F&F price). I'm assuming this is kind of arbitrary, has anyone else not seen any changes in the sacred check marks?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] theoner1:
Mine been on the fourth check mark since the nineth, the day I order it.

It's funny that all this time my EVO has had spotty performance and sub-par battery life (even with a 1750 mAh) regardless of the countless rom/kernel combos I've tried. I finally gave up and started taking my charger to class.

However it has been better than ever since this whole fiasco. I think it's taking advantage of the EVO LTE delay to leave me with fonder memories. <3 evo
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DtownJeff:
I feel the same. I flashed kangy ultra for the nexus s a few days ago (when the reality set it). It is the best ICS rom I have used so far. Having fun with it. Keeps my mind off things.

Remember how much money you saved and flash a rom. Works for me

Ordered a black TPU case on eBay for $6.95. I will report bag when I get it.

Ya, but we're dealing with wirefly. I wouldn't piss on a single csr to put out a fire. They are all either rude, incompetent or both.

I have given up at this point. I'm thinking by the second week of June is a realistic expectation for these morons to figure out how to stop reading a script and actually put a packing label on a box.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SPreston2001:
Lol this whole thread is absolutely hilarious to me! Honestly waiting a week or two for a cell phone really isnt that big of a deal considering the savings lol. I just ordered mines on Friday May 25th and its says awaiting inventory just like everybody elses. Everybody knows the phones were held up by customs and the whole Apple fiasco so its really not that big of a deal. I still have a mint condition Evo 3d that im gonna sell the moment my LTEvo arrives and im sure ill be able to get atleast $225 for it on ebay. Im an extreme techie and just as impatient as anyone but its just a phone guys. If Sprint themselves gave me the option to get the phone on release day or save $80 and get it two weeks later, IM TAKING THE CASH everytime lol. Calm down everything will be ok lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rdeets:
The waiting isn't the issue. It's the lack of communication. If WF came out and told us to expect our phones on or before June 9th, for example, that would alleviate a lot of people's concerns. The problem is WF is keep telling us contradictory information, and we have no idea when to expect our phones.

The e-mail they sent last week strongly hinted that we could expect our phones by Friday 5/25. That didn't happen. The CSR script is completely useless, and according to reports, the corporate office is giving out contradictory claims to people calling in inquiring about the issue.

This is really making WF look bush league.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] unit713:
Lol OK I'll take your word for it lol and keep waiting lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
No way in hell you get $225 for a 3D on ebay.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Agreed, they are selling for about $125-$175 on ebay lately.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SPreston2001:
Lol yeah ok! My brothers just sold on wednesday (23rd) for $205 and his was in good condition and only came with a few accessories. My 3VO doesnt have a scratch on it and comes with a $hit load of accessories and a 32gb sd card. Think what you want either way it'll pay for my new phone and some which is all that matters. Im not paying $199 for a phone when I can get it for $119.99...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ticklemepinks:
in the wake of things, you're not gonna be able to get 225 for the 3d, i say ranges in the 150-180 + shipping neighborhood. and 180 is sorta pushing it unless u sell with a otterbox or something, for some reason the 3d isn't a wanted fone and it doesn't go for much on ebay, u actually have a better chance on CL...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Link please then I'll believe you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SPreston2001:
Like I said believe what you want, maybe he got lucky and his phone got caught in a bidding war. As long as my 3d pays for my LTEvo which I'm sure it will I'm happy....

Damit, I thanked the wrong post...

Anyhoo, as mentioned a link would be nice. I'll definitely believe what I want especially when what I'm being told sounds like BS.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SPreston2001:
Regardless of what u think I really don't give a $hit especially when it comes to a sale that wasn't even mines lol. Ur really not that important to me so to track down a link to his ended ebay auction isn't very high on my priority list. He told me he sold his 3d for $205 so I have no reason not to believe him....

***Correction ok I just textd him and he did in fact say he sold it on CL. Sorry for any confusion. I put my foot in my mouth :p ***
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Its BS. I tried selling my 3D on Ebay a few times for as low as $125 with no luck. After paypal fees ebay fees and shipping fees, I figured it was better just selling to Best Buy for $110.
