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.
Going too radioshack on my break to see what's going on. This is crazy I haven't heard anything from those clowns

I don't think you'll find out much. But you never know. This launch is one of the most convoluted, and messed up launches I ever witnessed.

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.

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.

Just finished ordering mine
same here bud - can't wait!
Yep, Yep....although it would not allow me to add a line with the E3D...I had to choose to create an individual line for it for the order to go thru...Oh well, I will just have that corrected after I get the phone
you know it! also first time ordering online as well.
ditto!!!....
Can't find the link. Any assistance? Sprint Premiere rewards trying to push me the Echo

Oh well, I guess it will go to my mother's. I never updated my address since I moved and she's always home. Quick drive on Wed (I hope) and it should be all good.
I ordered 2. One for my dad and myself. I hope to god it gets here before Friday since I will not be home at Friday but at the airport picking up my dad. Crosses fingers.

Got mine. As far as the shipping, Sprint online orders have almost always shipped overnight. So, I expect most will see their phone on Wed.

Site is down, seems like this little phone is a bit popular
I have $75 in Radio Shack coupons and gift cards and I really can't think of anything but this phone that I want from there. Still the thought of getting it a couple days early is making me seriously consider saying screw it and ordering from Sprint anyway.
I've gotten phones sent from Sprint before and they are always overnighted so anyone who orders should get them Wednesday.
I was wondering if anyone who pre ordered with Best Buy has heard anything yet?
I called my local BB and they said to call back on Saturday.
Nothing.....still pending....next week i guess....mines says backorder ....when i place on the 5th ....make no sense

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 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

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?

Well I just preordered last Thursday. I think it maybe a tad premature to start complaining.

Check this out, live in a city called Oxnard in California. I've been calling stores looking for the phone. Today a best buy in another city, Thousand Oaks, said they had 2, which was perfect, since me and my dad both are making the upgrade. We drove an hour and a half away through memorial day traffic to go get them. (We both thought it was too good to be true.) Well we finally made it there safely, with both our moods great, especially since we've been waiting for this phone like crazy. We walk into the store (Best Buy Mobile) and are ready to make our purchases.
Guess what... The fukkface was confused with the O.G. model. They at minimum could have gave me a $10 BB Card, but no, they were instantly rude. This could have easily ruined my day. (which I think it did, but I'm in denial of being angry. LOL)
To answer your question, I do not know exactly, but I believe they are still periodically being checked by customs, but not held like crazy like they were before. My local Sprint store told me my pre order would be in by Wednesday.
Check Me Out On The Google Play Store!!!

I almost forgot to use my 50$ BB card, because they never gave me one...
For pre-ordering the EVO, you're supposed to get 50$ BB card. My EVO was shipped to my residence, not the store. I am not sure if it is the same with others that dealt with Bestbuy, but they haven't contacted me in any way to redeem such a gift card. Maybe it has to do with the fact that it was not shipped to a Bestbuy store for pickup?? I am going to Bestbuy this evening and plan to use the 50$ toward the Otterbox case, they better honor it which they are still offering new EVO LTE purchasers- and I'm taking my receipt with me.
Maybe I missed something?
And... what did you buy with your 50$?

I would absolutely be fighting that because

2) its still a valid promotion online
and 3) that crawls all over me
Go back to the store and fight for your 50$.
When I went to pick it up they had a sign saying that it was canceled because of the delay.

When I picked up my phone at Best Buy last Thursday, they applied the $50 Freedom discount, the $50 gift card discount, and the $50 trade-in of my old original EVO to my new EVO 4G LTE upgrade. I walked out of the store with the new phone, case + holster, Rocketfish car charger (needed new one) and Zagg HD shield for $94 and some change.
Make sure you get your $50 gift card. I think I do remember reading something where it said that it would be emailed to you in 2 - 3 days.
I just pre ordered today ti said I should still get the 50 gc as promotion is running to June 3.

I believe I saw the sign you are referring to when I pick up my EVO. I read it and the wording was confusing to me, so I asked about it. What I was told was that it was in reference to the planned launch date of 5/18 that was presented in last weeks flyer and not the $50 gift card offer. The offer was only mentioned as to provide a reference to the specific ad... or so I was told.
I was also told that I would receive my $50 gift card via e-mail in a few days, but I have not seen anything as of today. I will probably call them tomorrow if I don't get anything by then.
Ok this is weird I checked my email to see if anything was sent to me. I remembered getting emails saying I had x number of days left to pick it up. I didn't think much of it since I already picked it up. Then I got an email that said my preorder was canceled. I just read it again and it said
" Your reserved order has been cancelled because it was not picked up at the MANCHESTER MO Best Buy store #1897 within 3 days of confirmation. A refund has been issued for the amount of the cancelled item(s)."

Yeah so I went back to my best buy this morning and got my 50 dollar gift cards they sent them to me in the email got them 30 minutes later. funny thing is if I didn't ask they wouldn't have given them to me and they acted surprised when I told him there was this gift card.
