Stopped by just to confirm my pre order since i had not received any confirmation. I asked the manager if he had any information on a release date, and he said the store "advocate" was in last week to teach the sales reps about the phone. He said usually when this happens it's a month or less to launch date, but he had no specific date at this point. He confirmed i was on the preorder list and they will call me as soon as any phones come in. Should be very soon i would imagine.

Yes, if it falls in the right hands. But most likely it will be a ota update for all of the Evo 3D. I think its too much of a hassle to unlock them first because the phone is releasing June 5th. MY OPINION DON'T TELL ME TO GO GET AN IPHONE, that joke is old, redundant, and futile.

That seems off.
store here in palo alto, ca have not had the trainings yet. They are usually about a week before release.
The guys I know at the two corporate stores locally (I used to be a sprint employee)
one of them's an ASM and the other a Lead Rep at the other location, neither of there store's have the 3D in nor info on the advocate program.
I can tell you tho that if its getting advocated yet, you'll see leaks on the net guaranteed and also, its true, once they go advocate its normally sub 1 month to release, more like 2 weeks..
But I can't confirm, I can tell you tho that the store I used to work at is a Top 100 in the enterprise and are pretty much first on the list to get/know whats up.
so /shrug no idea, hope so, but unconfirmed so far.
I was told June 4th when I placed my preorder at a sprint store, same day they were doing training

We all have to realize there are two types of people that work at sprint stores. People that are there that just do the job and tech junkies like us. Therefore, I believe everybody that says June 4th are people that read the forums like us. I really do hope it is June 4th but with little info and nothing in the FCC we will most likely be waiting a little longer.

I just have trouble believing that they wouldn't announce the release date more than a week prior to the date. June 4th is one week away, and it seems unlikely to me that it will launch less than one week after they announce it. I hope they do though!

Just spoke with a sprint rep and asked about the E3d. The rep told me the initial date for E3d was july 3rd. The rep then went on to sassy that date has since been cancelled. So considering that sprint is not even accepting preorders or even announcing a release date june 4th is a bit unrealistic. Personally for me the sooner the better however I am a realist and a june 4th release date with the company not even announcing preorders seems a but unrealistic. A realistic date would be more a july/august date though I hour much sooner.

Why do people even bother talking to Sprint reps? No offense but they do not know any more than we do. Some info will probably be leaked online before the reps even know about it.

Truthfully, if this doesn't hit until August, I might consider waiting for the quad cores promised for the end of the year. At this point, August is 3 months away. If I only have to wait another 3 or 4 months after that for 2 more cores, that doesn't sound like a bad way to go.
Sprint reps giving unannounced release dates are as accurate as weatherman
GIMMMMMMMIEEEEEE!!!!
And thanks for sharing this! =D
why do people doubt this info. Seems legit to me. as far as sprint announcing anything they didn't announce the nexus till about a week before it came out so it is not hard to believe the same will happen with this phone. Have faith people cuz I sure do
I'm as excited as anyone, but does nobody else read "rough" as meaning "this is our best guess"?
This is RadioShack after all, and as it says on the very same screen, they have absolutely no pricing info. I simply see this as a RadioShack manager optimistically entering the date in since it's the anniversary of the Evo 4G and the release is clearly relatively soon.
Hopefully I'm wrong, but I'm not getting my hopes up...

July/august seems highly unlikely. Recently release date announcements have been made roughly 2 weeks in advance. Ill guess we'll know soon if they keep with this trend with the E3D

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.

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.

No...this is the forth week of EVO 3D training in the Sprint Playbook. They got it WAYYYY wrong lmao
I don't think week 4 applies to the 4th week in June. Nothing else in this playbook goes that far. Haus already stated my feelings, that its the 4th week in the playbook, not June. I don't think they would use "week 4" in the playbook to refer to 4th week of June, its pretty vague.

in general the radio shack dood said:
"pre orders usually go for about a month at most"
"about a real release date i would say mid june"
general manager @ bestbuy mobile
told him i heard early june release his reply
"june 14-27 maybe first week of july but i can tell you we have not got any word on a first week of june release"
again i dont think radio shack,best buy,sprint lead rep, xda "insider" or anyone other than HTC or "high up sprint people" will know a for sure release date
as i JUST switched from tmobile yesterday to sprint
and picked up the nexus s (for now)
i hope its within the next 30 days
but honestly NO ONE with a "inside source" will know
so keep floating dates farther and farther out but we will not see this phone in the general public hands till mid to end june
again this is just a opinion and it may be release the 5th or 6th or w.e. you want to think but look at all these dates.... the G2x had a preorder and store date 3 weeks before hand
sprint isnt doing a last notice release! june 4th is a week away... i bet they will tell us WHEN it will be release on the 4th.... not getting the phone out in silence...

My Sprint store just called to set up my appointment to get the evo 3d. Set it up for after work on the 24th. Still on the fence as to if I am going to get it. But at least I can look at it first.
HELP..I've been trying to find myself and found I don't exist.
I called the store I ordered mine at just to find out when they would be setting up appointments, and they said the day before. I might call again this weekend and make sure though. Not knowing when to show up until the day before is kind of nerve wracking.
I did my pre-order today in the store, and they told be that they would be opening at 8 AM on the 24th, and I could just stop in at anytime after opening to pick mine up. No early premier pickup, that can only be done online. I was 49th on the pre-order list.
I just got a call as well. 8 AM on the 24th for me.

I have no reason to lie, I saw the article.

Yes Sprint announced early opening for stores across the U.S. and I haven't cross referenced them with the locations that are getting LTE but I'm sure they probably match up. But that's as far as it goes, it's no conspiracy to release the phone in only certain markets. Those are just the locations that are doing early openings. Their larger stores. They even state to check with your local store to see if they are doing early openings in which I assume most will. They are expecting this to be as huge as the Original Evo launch so they are just making tha fare that goes along with such big launches. Both the Viper and Galaxy Nexus launched in all markets not just markets that were getting LTE first. So the Evo 4G LTE will be no different. Sprint knows people will buy the thing even if they aren't expected to get LTE anytime soon.

Luckily, I am in the DC market, but I ordered from Amazon. So I have no idea what any of that means.

Lost all credibility when the article says in the 1st paragraph that Sprint stores in these locations will be selling the phone at 8am THURSDAY May 18,2012...
Why in the Hell would I trust a site about a release date when they don't even know that Thursday is the 17th.

LOOL this is gettin pitiful, that wouldn't make any sort of sense from a business stand point to any other stand point, if they did this, it would be such a horrible backlash and the move that put sprint under, no way that this would ever happen lol

Then there is a huge fail that many people deserve to be fired over.
I will raise bloody hell if they don't ship my pre-ordered phone to me after confirmation because of my market.

please see my previous post. Do not worry. This is not the case. Simply put if this were such a thing, you wouldn't be able to place the order for the phone to begin with. Let's not forget that when you go to Sprint's online store one of the things they require is your zip code. Anways don't worry you'll get your phone soon. Also please see Sprint's Website for more information that refutes that link. They simply took the news release and put their own spin on it. That is how you get clicks afterall.
I still think a lot of these threads that are forming could've just added information to similar threads.
I hope that's BS

^^^ What he said
This had to be a misquote...I think its stating the select stores that are opening the doors early that day (8am).....I bought my Evo4G with no WiMAX for a year.Why hold out now because of no LTE? Lol this is strange.

Why? Is Mashable.com not reputable?
