Based on lot's of comments over, 25th seem possible but you may have to wait and see.
My pre-ordered phone comes in Thursday 24th. good luck

Nobody knows yet. And I've been watching everywhere for news of a release date like a a hawk. Wasn't able to pre-order so I'm hoping some shelves will be stocked...

Just got off the phone with sprint. Tales to 3 fifteenth reps and a customer resolution specialist ... they all said they do not have a in store release date and it wount be tomorrow.... I'm a SAD NOW...

Yeah its actually really sad..I pre ordered at a sprint corp. store and they dont have their shipment in and they do not see a shipment in route in their system.
Meanwhile Best Buy is getting them in stores and getting it to their customers as soon as they arrive..So much for me thinking going to a Sprint Corporate store was a good idea...How did they go from a May 18th release date(in store) to being back order and only fulfilling online pre orders....Prob. because they kept taking pre orders throught the beginning of all the FTC Bull S**t

So bestbuy going to have them in stores? I'll be calling first thing.

You guys think bestbuy will do a feb 17th release?

For who preorders with them I heard AT&T will do it I am hoping bestbuy follows suit as well

so he said the preorders will be given on the 19th or the phone will be released on the 19th maybe he was confused....i hope
Fairly certain pre orders are also on the 19th.

Preorders ship on the 19th and will be available for in store pickup on the 19th if you reserve it in store

If you think about it.... Best buy is offering the case and $50 most likely because people will not get them early and that's their way of keeping up with att sending them out on the 17th
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
Best Buy can not release them before the 19th because of their contract to sell AT&T phones I don't think their system will allow them to be sold (the stock may come in on the 17th but their system has no way to sell the inventory until the 19th when the system is updated) as far as the gift card this is going on til the end of the year on any carrier and if successful I'm pretty sure they will run it through 2013
I went there yesterday to preorder and see if they could get it to me by the 17th and they said no it still would be on the 19th.
BBYM employee here. Hard street date is the 19th and they will not be sold or shipped until then

I ordered in store and was told an email would go out when it is ready for pick up. I called the store yesterday in the hopes that I could pick it up early... They have the Gnote but will not be releasing any until Sunday. ARGH!! I want my note. LOL
I did the preorder in store and I'm just waiting for Sunday
Order online...i calll so see i can pick up at store..order could not be change because they dont have any in stores.....most they could do is cancel my order from feb 5 and place a new one to have pick up at store...i woyld wait on ups i guesss....most likely stored already sold out

I really feel like just going to AT&T and getting it they said they have them and I could pick it up this was after I said I had a preorder with bestbuy
Best buy screw up because ups dont deliver on sundays so am not getting it this,weekend

I pre-ordered in the store and was originally told they would be available today but when I called they said they cant sell til sunday
I just came back from best buy. Said they've got their shipment in but I have to wait a couple hours until they're done with inventory.
First world problems.
Best Buy Mobile
Just came back from Best Buy Mobile they told me the shipment was in and my Note was there but I can't pick it up til Sunday wich I am fine with as long as I get my free case and $50 bucks off and don't have to wait til Tues
this doesn't make sense to me. AT&T and Best Buy get their phones at the same time yet we have to wait until after it's available at the stores and those who ordered from AT&T already got theirs. At least ship it so I get it the same day it's available at the store.
You people are acting like this is a huge surprise that they won't let you get it now. We have a CONTRACT with At&t to not sell until Sunday. You all knew this when You preordered. To the people complaining about them not shipping in Sunday, well looks like YOU made the dumb decision to not just go pick it up in stores.

you can't select to pick up at store for this order.
I'm glad I ordered through Best Buy... I just went to an AT&T store during lunch to ask if they have received any Notes in yet because I wanted to see one just to see how big it actually was. I haven't held one yet, just have seen pictures. I saw a rep walking toward me and I asked him if they had received any yet and he said no, to which I said that it surprised me... He then told me that it was supposed to be released this spring! I, rather sarcastically, replied that it was going to be released on Sunday, then walked out the door.
Really? You're supposed to support a device as big, and NOTEworthy (pun intended) as this and you don't even know when it's going to be released?!

If you preordered in store you pick up in store. Meaning you walk in at any time after we open on Sunday and just say hey I'm here to pick up my note. Easy

Radio Shack Preorders

Has anyone preordered their Evo from Radio Shack? Either online, or in-store? Preordered mine in-store (same place I preordered my OG Evo). The customs hold really fubar'ed this launch.
I did and spoke with 2 different local stores today and they both told me they had a "webmail" today saying they'd have phones to cover the pre orders tomorrow. I called 2 stores because the one I preordered from had zero info before today but I was suprised when they also knew what was going on and that my phone would be delivered to them by FedEx between 10 and 11. They did also mention they were only selling the pre orders until the official launch had happened. I guess I'll know tomorrow if they were right but the girl I talked to at one of the stores read me the communication she called the "webmail", so I'm confident it willl be there.

I guess if true we will hear something tomorrow. I spoke with the manager at the one I'm dealing with, and he mumbled something about a webmail as well. He was very vague as to what it was about. I'm a regular customer there (only place that sells electronics parts, and solder in the area). Hopefully he'll do me right.

I spoke with my local (Rancho Cordova, CA.) radio shack yesterday (5/24) and they told me to call them today around 2. Man I hope they have the phone, I already gave my EVO 3D to my wife and I down graded to the OG EVO.....LOL
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
does anybody know if the Radio Shack stores are supposedly just getting enough EVOs in to cover preorders? I only ask, because yesterday I stopped at a RS, and they said nobody placed a preorder in their store, but yet put me 1st on the list for when they do get a shipment. guess I can only hope. thanks to everyone for providing info in this thread.

Yeah just enough for pre orders, so if there is a pixel out or something we are **** outta F ing luck. This whole situation was handled like ****. If nobody pre ordered at that store, then they are getting 0 in. You gotta either wait until launch day, or go from radio shack to radio shack trying to find an eVo that was pre ordered than canceled.

Just got the call. Mine is in and they are actually letting me pick it up. wow about time! Just gotta wait til I'm done work now.can't wait! ! !

Got mine at 4:30 today... Apparently according to the store manager I was the only person to pickup their pre-order (they had several pre-orders but when they tried to contact these folks no one has responded). So they may have several phones available.
got my phone today aswell, radioshack called me and the first thing they told me is that I would be the first one in my city to get it lol..not even the sprint retail store had it..and when i traded lines(because the upgrade was from my dad) the guy took the phone to the back to show his boss and some employes haha
Got mine around mid day today they got my phone in and called me.I am happy now

Got my phone on the 25th and I was that store's only pre-order. I also got a free 32gb SD card with it. They gave me a choice of a $25 accessory and the funny thing was is that I HAD to spend all of it to get the free accessory. So I snagged a SD card that was 20% off with the purchase of the phone, but that didn't reach $25 so I snagged a 3' 3.5mm audio cable for in the truck. I thought it was a pretty nice deal.

My wife wanted the phone and we had one waiting for her at a corporate store. Just walked into best buy to BS around. Guy said he had them stocked for preorder, but had more devices than preorders.
Said to do preorder and I may get one today. So I did the preorder, walked around store and got email stating it was confirmed, then not 5 minutes more of walking around I got email saying it was ready to be picked up. Told him I got email and it was a done deal. Walked out with it.
No one that preordered from there hadn't come to pick theirs up yet. She was first person to get from that particular store.

Inventory allowing... pre orders made before 5/21 are hitting stores today and tomm. If you pre ordered after the 21st you will get next shipment. Noone is able to walk in and buy... So your pre order is being fulfilled in order it was placed... What's the problem?

As I stated earlier. I went in and got my wife one today. Preordered, got confirmation, and then got email that phone was ready to be picked up within minutes. Walked right out with it.
Could it be the quantities that they received? I'm in north Dallas.

Some stores received more than the amount pre orders I'm sure. Or pre orders that canceled.

I preordered mine late in the day around 8pm on 9/7/13 at best buy in California.
The guy told me they were open for preorders the day before but I was still the first one to preorder.
They had papers lying around everywhere so everyone knew they were taking preorders and had a samsung rep answering questions.
I just called my local Best Buy. Rep said I could put $50 down towards the purchase price as a pre-order, but he had no launch date. Apparently Utah's Best Buys know something they don't here. Nothing new. We're the last to know in the South

Ha..that's why i asked for a Samsung rep! 4 of the 5 best buyers didn't have an answer, one even said sometime end of oct!
the one rep actually looked at 2 different systems for me and said the same oct 4th...
i sure hope so!
The Sprint Note 3 has a street date of October 4th. None of the other ones have been determined so far. That also doesn't guarantee that best buy will have it that soon for Sprint but just means they are sellable on the 4th for Sprint.

Called my local Best Buy (Metro Atlanta area) and asked about Verizon Note 3 availability and I was told "either October 3rd or 4th"! I hope stores don't get them before folks that preordered do This, being my first preorder, would be my luck LOL
If the employees you guys have talked to bothered reading the whole articles they send out to us they would know that the new information yesterday about the 4th only pertained to the sprint version.

Went and played with the AT&T GN3 at BestBuy on Friday, it surprisingly felt smaller in hand than the GN2 (coming from a GNex). The Samsung guy there, Charlotte NC, was sticking to the 10th for Vz.
I pre-ordered from BestBuy so hopefully they receive it on the 10th.
Thread cleaned lightly. Users need to be reminded to always be respectful in any and all posts.
I'm sorry i fell for the Best Buy Reps telling me it would be there on the 4th...
but i did get my pre-order email today for BB, i just have to wait till tomorrow....

CSR's are STILL unable to tell me if the device will launch tomorrow at their stores. I did not pre-order as I am unsure whether or not i'll keep it; they return the $50.00 preorder fee as a gift card, (which I have no use for). Even BB chat was unable to provide any reassurance anybody care to shed light?
Why the hell is this thread even still alive?
BB by Oct 4?!
