wait what? I just got back from there, pre-ordered and they never offered a pre-order on the case....
Then again, I think it will be a lot easier to get accessories on launch day, the phone might be tough to get.

Preordered mine too he asked me about both cases a silicone one and the kickstand case then tried to get me to get a zagg screen protecter too

[PSA] Sprint now taking preorders

Now with 100% more proof.

According to this engadget article, it must be only corporate, Sprint-owned stores.

Well I went to my local Sprint store today and asked the employee there about pre-ordering the Evo 3d, he said they weren't taking pre-orders and he hasn't heard anything about when they will take pre-orders. Cool
Yeah until an official email goes out I think it's just a hit or miss between stores. I'm getting worried though. June 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 8th (some speculation dates I've heard) are all right around the corner and still no word!
I want to know why they wont give a dang price. I dont wanna pre order something when I dont know how much its gonna cost.

Id say a safe estimate is no more than $300 with full upgrade eligibility. Is that too much? Also, preordering does not lock you into the purchase so who cares?

Some stores might not be doing it yet but the store in Lafayette, Louisiana is. I just pre ordered 2. 1 for me 1 for wifey. Paid 100 bucks and got back a yellow sprint card.
The manager said I was the first guy to come in and ask about them. He seemed to know exactly what was going on and processed my payment really fast.

I think what is likely the case is what was mentioned in another thread - corporate stores seem to know the situation while the non corp stores do not. Might not be an airtight assumption but seems to have some clout to it.
Only can pre order at cooperate stores. I jus did mine at union nj

you think it'd really be necessary for a pre order? Unless you are really into cell phones and tech, most people don't even know this phone exists. I can't see them being endangered of selling out or anything opening weekend. I could be wrong.
The evo4g was on backorder for weeks after it was released in my area, heck even my touch pro was oos for a week+ on release. Those purchases were done through a corporate sprint store so im sure they were available at other places but people who want to go through sprint will probably need a preorder if they want it soon.

Last year there were about 15 people waiting outside of radio shack at 545 who didn't pre order the evo. RS only had about 5 that weren't spoken for by pre orders. If you want to be safe and get one on day 1, I strongly recommend you pre order.

When i pre ordered the guy had to read me a list of things and we basically had a convo about it . He says for the evo there was like 30 people at 7 am. So if the store theoretically got 100 phones alltogether....and 90 ppl pre ordered and 5 came into get it and i didnt get out of work till 4 pm to come get mine id be **** out of luck and have to wait a couple more weeks. He says chances are slim but it could happen. I pretty much stated the same thing you said to him but he seems to think it will be popular to non-techy people too right off the bat.

Pre ordered at Best Buy in Lake Charles, they told me they opened 2 hours early for the EVO 4G launch to handle the rush. It was their biggest wireless day ever.
First at radio shack,third at best buy.

oh ****e I LOL ..dammit dogs are barking ..uhoh ..think a monster coming down the hall *klump* *klump* ..aiiiiiiiiii
As i posted in the Marketplace forum on this site.I ordered 4 of them.I have 11 lines of service with sprint and have 6 upgrades.So as to pay for my phone i always order 2 extra to sell.I have already sold 1 locally on CL.
I am selling 1 more which i should have here in hand Wednesday for $450 and any shipping charges.
We all argue and such on here but i am legit and have a good SU.COM selling rating and if anyone is interested PM me but i will not sell it to someone who is even fairly new as just like the person who buys it i do not wish to get ripped off selling to someone i do not think i can trust.
just sharing since this thread was about the full price.

Official Pictures of Your Note next to your Old Phone thread!!! LOL!

Sorry I'm just kinda bored but I thought this might be a funny thread of
"Out with the old and In with the new!"
So as You open the note just take a quick picture next to your old phone or phones!
It really does feel like Christmas today!!
Haha this is a great thread... I will definitely upload a picture when I get my phone

Good to have people on this inside however, that new Keurig might be good to have at the same time as your are opening your new Note so you can make coffee, stay up all night and play with your new phone!
Personally, I would rather have the Note being delivered than the Keurig.
My 3rd skyrocket refurb is out for delivery...does that count

For me this is the official "I hate you until Sunday" thread. I was thinking about ordering from AT&T, but I have a flight on Monday, so if it didn't come in today I wouldn't have it for while.
I'm shifting from a Galaxy Nexus do I need to put a picture or you already saw enough comparative pictures of both phone on the net?

The ones saying 2-3 weeks have not eve been validated yet. So those are the back ordered or delayed orders.

I think this indicates that Sprint sold a lot.more phones than anticipated and had to cut wirefly short to meet their own obligation. Wirefly orderers should have been concerned when they hit the order button but they should especially be concerned about the s 4 shortage.

Thanks for pre-ordering. You are one step closer to getting your phone. Keep an eye out for a shipping email with your tracking information. We will do our best to get it to you before others get a glimpse on Friday, May 18. For questions, visit sprint.com/preorder.

Asurion replacing my 3D with the E4GT

So I had to do a claim because my charger port is shot and they don't have any 3Ds to send me. I went ahead and had the phone shipped because I neeeeeed my phone, but I'm pretty upset. Am I totally screwed with a pos Samsung or do I have any options ? Buying a new phone full price isn't possible right now but I am thinking about switching carriers

The E4GT is probably going for more than the 3D right now on ebay and stuff. Call Sprint retentions, have them give you an upgrade, sell your sammy and buy the evolte at $200. Make it happen

i might try this as well....$100 for that phone is a good deal...my charge port is about gone too. and i wouldnt call the sgs2 a POS phone. it was one of the best android phones out. its better than the evo3d IMO. did you do this online or did you call in?

OP, can you verify if you received a new or refurbished E4GT?
I am going to have to file a claim because I messed up my 3d pretty bad and i'm curious as to what I may be getting.
I'd like to add here if it's not too late; the Epic Touch 4G is a fantastic phone. I strongly recommend you play with it a bit before getting rid of it.

I am in the same boat as well. I've cracked my second Evo 3D within 2 months of each other. I haven't cracked any of my previous phones over the past 9 years, but I've had bad luck with my 3D lol. I am also about to drop Sprint for Verizon due to coverage at and near my house, basically non-existant. I moved from Hawaii to DC because of being Military and where I am at now sucks big time. I've been here for a while and have tried the airwave thing, but my area sucks in general. I have a Verizon blackberry for work and it always has reception where my Evo and Evo3D does not. Also, has anyone else had this happen to them?
