Perhaps you missed the part where it reads this was handled miserably by ALL PARTIES.. Also have you ever heard the term 2 wrongs don't make a right? Out of all the companies you listed the only one not to send out a email on May 18th explaining the delay was WF

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

Let me see if Im understanding you correctly. On May 25th WF said they had a shipment which was en route. That was a lie. The phones werent released from customs till May 28th. Now if Im understanding you correctly none of this happened anymore because they sent a rep into the forums
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blkswanpres:
Wirefly claims that Sprint told them the phones were in route and they relayed that information, we know know that that was not true. As far as I have read no one has proof whether it was Sprint or Wirefly that was lying. Either way its pointless at this point, if you bought your phone else where then go browse other threads, if you are still waiting for Wirefly then post about relevant topics. If you to debate or speculate about blame start a new thread, this one is for information about devices being shipped.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Clock190:
No, you most certainly did not understand.

The simpler version: Let's not be nasty to someone who is actually giving us information in a thread that's obviously starving for it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Matstarr:
I was not trying to be nasty at all. I just saw people going back and forth about whos fault it was and decided to paint a black and white picture

There it is officer I dare you to find a statement like this from Sprint. I happened to speak to Sprint on the 25th and 26th and they said we dont have a release date yet. I was just stating a fact please dont arrest me forum cop
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] darwin619:
Nice way to sandbag an argument, considering your initial response to my statement that I had been charged was to say that anyone who thinks they have been charged is at best ignorant.

BTW Mr. Condescending, you don't own these or any forums. Just because you may have discovered them before someone else doesn't make you special, and you are entitled to nothing. The price we have to pay for Android's popularity is that windbags like you think you can stand in judgement of other people.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blkswanpres:
You misunderstood me. I know wirefly said that. Their claim is that that information was from their contacts at Sprint that supply them the phones, we have no way to know if Sprint did or did not misinform them, but given Sprints track record in this whole debacle it wouldn't surprise me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Matstarr:
Sprint didnt say that to me on the same day that tweet was posted. I asked Sprint and they told me we do not have a release date yet. Just accept it we were lied too. The delay isnt what is giving the company a black eye. Its the lack of communication and lies that were fed to paying customers
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blkswanpres:
What a sprint CSR knows about a release date and the order status of a third party retailer are very different. There is no one on the public support channels that would have that information.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bootlooper:
Bank of America Additup

Wirefly Kim,

Some of us did not utilize the friends and family pricing as we were getting better pricing through Bank of Americas Add-It-Up program. That promotion expired 05/31/2012. My credit card has not been charged yet. Do you know if this promotion will be honored considering the orders were placed weeks ago?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ptrd:
Called bby and I have mine reserved for tomorrow morning. I could have waited until next week but as everyone knows I am impatient and I didn't get the good 119 price. Also what made me jump was lte is on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jimmyg41:
Meanwhile over at Apple:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Matstarr:
Im not going to sit here and argue with what seems to be a Wirefly attorney
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blkswanpres:
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to start an argument, and I don't necessarily disagree that they lied, I was just trying to point out that we don't know, though I definitely agree that their communication till now has been laughable at best.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dmband64:
Wow this thread has really lost it...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jpkotor:
I hate Apple as much as the next guy but this lawsuit was filed in 2010 and decided on in late 2011, with the ITC ban going into effect earlier this year I think (Feb?) so the action on Apple's part did not happen near the release date. Which is why this is perhaps more ridiculous that it wasn't sorted out before the shipments. Since Customs ruled it wasn't in violation pretty quick anyway it must have been obviously in compliance (seeing as a gov't agency handled it so quick). HTC should have sent phones ahead of time for Customs/ITC to confirm at not in violation so their shipments wouldn't have been at risk.

Motorola has won a patent suit against Apple for infringing on some of their patents. I'm glad. They also put through an injunction to have Apple's products held at Customs. I'm hoping this happens to the iPhone5 so all those damn hipsters suffer! Although it's not likely since Apple probably runs large parts of the US gov't by now.

Lets all take a breather and relax guys/gals.....no need for the personal attacks and language.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RyanInAj:

Excellent question, +1
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] squibley2:
ATTN: This just in, The ITC has already pre-cleared the IPhone 5 and will no longer be reviewing any further non-sense about anyone else having any patents other than Apple.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neoshi:
Oh f***in a... I didn't even think about that. If I do not get the credit, I will be PISSED! :mad:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rdeets:
So.... in about 12 hours we should be seeing tracking number screenshots on here...?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Señor Poo:
Man, I sure hope so.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ThrowingKs:
Who is going to be the 1st? The race is on...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Are anyone's credit cards getting charged yet?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] connartist:
Nothing Yet. Anyone know if a signature is required on delivery? I thought when I ordered it said a signature was required but when I asked a CSR they said no.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ptrd:
I would think something like that would require a signature.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ThrowingKs:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blkswanpres:
What day did you order?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Matstarr:
May 7th

Also the Red ! in the shipping circle has disappeared and the circle is now empty
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ThrowingKs:
May 7th.

I added a photo to my above post.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blkswanpres:
Thanks, I ordered on the eighth I am still hoping.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Matstarr:
Are we the only 2? Perhaps people are out doing things right now
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CarmelSack:
Ordered the 8th for $119 price. No change in status yet.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ThrowingKs:
Maybe. But, I am really excited. This whole emotional rollercoaster ordeal has built up my anticipation, and I feel like a kid at Christmas.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nandre:
Still haven't gotten my email yet... I ordered on the 7th as well :\
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jpbme:
I ordered on the 8th also. I get nervously excited with every e-mail I receive!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dmband64:
This is somewhat surreal ... I almost felt like this day would never come...but its actually happening.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blkswanpres:
I ordered on the 8th as well, after canceling my order on the 7th to get the friends and family deal.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] squigey:
I ordered on the 9th at the $119 price. No email yet.

Hopefully enough people will respond with their order dates and when they get their email, that way we can sort of figure out what the cutoff is for this first batch.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nandre:
So they didn't give you a shipping number yet, right? Are you able to get one by tracking by reference with your order number?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chuunarusamurai:
Congrats on everybody that's getting their order shipped, You guys will surely be very satisfied with your LTE. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Matstarr:
Also looked at my receipt and it says the exact time the order was placed if this helps guys 5/7/2012 5:38:02 PM (Eastern Time)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ThrowingKs:
Ordered on 5/7/2012 10:36:13 PM.

I cannot track at FedEx by order number either. At least plugging it into the tracking number does nothing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Matstarr:
No tracking number yet it now reads

Great News! Your order is ready to ship.

We will send you an email with tracking information and update this site once it ships.

Thank you for shopping with us

Right under the 4 dreaded circles up top.

Im not sure how to track it by reference #
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] connartist:
Nothing here. Ordered early on 5/7, not sure the exact time. Keeping my fingers crossed also.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wytecaztle:
Just contacted chat to ask. Ibadul told me My phone will be shipped Monday and I ordered on the 8th. He said the phone was available for my order. No email yet but confirmed it will ship on Monday.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Matstarr:
You can check by going to the website and hit view receipt at the top
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Droiddinho:
I ordered on the 8th @ 9:42 AM... no word yet. I fear that they don't have much inventory and I have to wait another week. :-/
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nandre:
Try punching your order number into "Track by Reference":

fedex .com/AltRefTracking?cntry_code=us

Supposedly this is what many Sprint pre-orders were able to do (though through UPS)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ThrowingKs:
Not Found
No information for the following shipments has been received by our system yet. Please try again later or contact Customer Service.

:'(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] focbuster78:
yeah I ordered mine on the 9th I am already accepting the fact that I won't be in the first batch of phones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] squigey:
I thought I had read that they ordered enough to cover all pre-orders and then some.

Who knows though how much they'll actually receive of their order.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nandre:
Just got my notification that it's ready to be shipped. No email yet though. Ordered on 5/7/2012 9:50:21 PM EST.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rdeets:
They ORDERED enough to cover all preorders and then some. The problem is Sprint not SHIPPING enough to cover all preorders.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dmband64:
Just got this...problem with my rate plan...they are obviously processing orders though, so now I have to chat and get this resolved. Hopefully it gets fixed and shipped out today. Good thing I am obsessing and checking because they didn't send me any email regarding the issue...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Droiddinho:
didn't get the e-mail but my page looks the same.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rdeets:
CSR's same old crap. Expect a shipment "today evening" even though the shipment cam in already, don't know how many units were in the shipment, and can't say how many units were preordered before your order.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jpbme:
He probably doesn't know what he's talking about. No phones should be shipped out Monday, all the Evo's they got today should be shipped out today. If it doesn't ship today then it will ship whenever they get their next shipment in (end of next week)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaptainRandom:
I could really use a Red Stripe right now,

Please, Please, Please,

Someone pass me a Red Stripe,

Hooray, LtEvo!!!

Oh,

And a beer would be nice also...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wytecaztle:
Contacted chat to inquire. The rep contacted the activation department for me and then as soon as they processed the activation I got the email. All while on chat.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jaytronics:
I didn't read every post. I just skimmed this thread. But I feal bad for you guys. Under other circumstances this wait would be acceptable. But because of stupidity and greed for something that does not belong to some one or thing this is an will happen again.

Now I am not getting this phone. Well, not yet any way. But, we can all thank the a$$holes over at Apple and the obnoxious judge that made a very bad and wrong decision on a patent that he knows nothing about.

How about you people all get together and get more people together and send an ungodly amount of paper and electronic mail to Apple and that judge who made the decision that made it so that customs has to check the phones? Inundate them with too much stuff to process. At the least it will be humorous to know that they had to take time from other things to deal with this because of their arrogant, ignorant and greedy selves. Just saying. Oh, and pray for lightning to strike all of Apples server farms. Wouldn't hurt. Lol!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blkswanpres:
I haven't got the email, but my status page now says my order is processing, and I no longer have the red exclamation point. It still has the 2 to 3 week message, so I don't know if it's good or bad.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] oOflyeyesOo:
I sure hope that I am in the first shipment!! Figured enough people dropped out by now, and I ordered the second morning of pre-orders.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilentSummer:
Well, like others my page changed to show:

Great News! Your order is ready to ship.

We will send you an email with tracking information and update this site once it ships.

Thank you for shopping with us!

I ordered on 5/8 @ 11:54 AM. Sure hope it goes out today.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blkswanpres:
I ordered only 50 minutes before you, here's hoping we both ship today! I hope this entire thread's phones ship today!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] djboo4you:

I just went to chat to ask if they had any idea yet if my phone would be in the first shipment - and now they are processing it and my order validation checkmark went back to a ! saying that customer action is required. I don't know if it was just coincidence that I went to chat at the same time or if they started processing once I asked... either way I'm hoping this means I'm in the first shipment and they are getting it ready to ship!

Special Note: Each line you upgraded must be activated individually.

Once your device is delivered, please click on "Shipped - Click to Activate" for each line and follow the directions in the pop-up.

i now have a tracking number folks its official

It now has a 5th circle that says activation
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jpbme:
Seriously - I think they started processing my order just because I went to chat with them.. so I would do the same!

Damandeep : Order is completed. the phone is scheduled to be shipped within 24 hours from our Distribution center. You will receive a confirmation e-mail as soon as your order is shipped.

I ordered 5/8 9:42 PM
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blkswanpres:
Matstarr is the first! Proof we will one day get our phones!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blkswanpres:
I just got my email!!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nandre:
Hmmm... I still haven't gotten the order update email or tracking # email.

CSR says that the activation team "are working on it" and it will ship today. Hope he's right.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FusionX:
interesting, I placed my order on the 7th and still didn't get my email!!! bah! :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jpbme:
Took them probably close to 10 minutes on mine, then he said it will ship within 24 hrs, and I got the e-mail and my order status changed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nandre:
Yeah, took him about 10 minutes, then I got the same info you did. Just no order update/email. I wonder if the "Activation Team" is getting annoyed at all the CSRs calling down to them :P
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] freshlysqueezed:
My chat session a minute ago:

Sachin : Once the order will be processed you will be notified via e-mail with tracking information.

Daniel: Please explain this technical problem with activation? Is the problem on Sprint's side?

Sachin : Daniel, the technical problem is not from Sprint side, it's our internal problem.

Daniel: Sorry, I am still not understanding the "technical Problem" Could you explain it again? and I will then leave you alone.

Sachin : Once the order is processed our activation team pick up the phone for every order; however, our activation team is facing problem in picking up the phone for all the pre orders.

:confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ignardaj:
No update on my page, still saying shipment in 2-3 weeks....i ordered on the 8th friends and family site around 1pm or so....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] willn333:
I just got the same "technical problem" on chat. The guy could not tell me why, but he said he forwarded it to "upper management" and they would give me an update on Monday. I asked him if they worked today and he said yes, but they had to call Sprint for availability on Monday. Sounds like they may have gotten shafted on the number of phones from Sprint.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FusionX:
I wonder if the technical problem is related to something I read on xda (maybe earlier in this thread even) about the phone's box label ESN not matching the actual ESN of the device in the box. Who knows maybe that wasn't even true..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jpbme:
Try talking to them on chat and they might start processing it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gmramirez1973:
I just check www.whereismyorder.com and it has updated. Now it shows my cell phone number where before it said n/a. And the fourth circle has cleared. I order on the 7th at 7:30 pm.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dmband64:
My "technical problem" was due to a past due balance I had on my Sprint account. I paid it, and I am currently chatting to get the order further processed. FYI. Sachin is working on it!

UPDATE: Sachin resolved it, my order is Validated and getting ready to ship!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] darwin619:
If you have not gotten an email confirming shipment yet, get on chat now!

It seems like they are processing your specific order if you ask them to. At least that is how it worked for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] redwing13:
I just got the email that my phone is ready to ship and I ordered the 8th at 1:42PM PST
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nandre:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ITSDARKID:
I don't think my Order will be shipped today (5/9/2012 at 3:57:29 PM) :/

I ordered May 7, 3:47 pm
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] waterbound:
Congrats to the WF guys/girls who get thier cells!

I gave up. I ordered on the 8th like most and pre-ordered from BB last night, walked in and grabbed my cell. I held out but couldn't pass up the offer I got. I was $127 with WF (119 + tax) and BB at $150. If you take their insurance offer ($10/mo, no deductible, full replacement except for lost or stolen but they cover that cheaply enough too). Figure your cell breaks fro any reason, it will be nice to walk into any BB anywhere and get a new replacement rooted or not.

I thought about WF and how difficult it would be if I had a defective unit etc and decided its not worth my time to spend hours on the phone with their CSR for any reasons ever again. It literally took about 1/2 hr to cancel the order and the 'HOLD' for $127 on my CC to drop off.

Evidently when you enroll with BB insurance, you get another $50 GC which was confirmed in my gmail I just received so all good. You know it but it is as good as everyone says, even better.

So thanks WF for nothing, and I just bumped someone else up the line who might not have shipped today so your welcome! :)

Cheers!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Funny how I placed my order on the 10th (adding a line) and got the third approval. Seems like more orders placed on the 10th got the third approval while orders placed before the 10th got delayed :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Chaosmaker2k:
They are all delayed, just got off phone and internet chat with them. They say it will be sometime after the release date of the 18th that they will get them and then it will be 2-3 weeks later. I cancelled mine and ordered via sprint. Guess everyone was right

Wait, so they're going to get the phones in, wait 2-3 weeks, then ship them? Did they actually say that exactly? That can't be true.
