I was at walmart earlier, casual passed cell phones and saw an evo lte. I thought, wtf? I asked if they had them and they ended up not having it but asked if I wanted them to call another store. I was about to make another errand that would pass another walmart so I said sure. She called and sure enough, in stock! I honestly expected it to just be mis-information and be an evo design, or viper lte/etc.
So i go to the other store, (i-30 and bucker in east dallas) and sure enough, two in stock!
Now the bad news, they couldnt get the system to work for me. They'd put in my info and it would return an error saying information couldnt be retrieved. Girl was very helpful and even called sprint to verify I had an upgrade. No dice though on getting the system to accept it.
I will say, I tried to preorder online and got some dumb error at checkout too. Then wirefly had an error but they were able to solve it, so might just be me.
Sadly, I left without one.. but there is two there for others! Dont overlook wally world!
Agree with that. Also check you local Sams Club as well i think they will have them at the price 147.97 upgrade and new line. So that is where i will be going to get mine on wed. When the national evo day starts.

ah! that reminds me, price at walmart was 158.** i think, possibly 159 but I could almost swear it was 158 which i thought was an odd number.
also, there were literally signs up that said that evo lte was in the weekly ad but not in stock
158.88 at my Walmart in NY,none in stock though.

Darn, you guys got my hopes up. I called about 3 different local Walmarts and 2 Sams Club and the Walmarts dont even sell Sprint phones and Sam's club, like everyone else, doesn't know when they're getting it. I'm dying to be able to cancel my Wirefly pre-order and just get the damn phone already!!!
I just went to a Walmart that had 3 in stock. The lady was going to sell me one. I gave her my number, and I couldn't be found in the system. She said since my number was long distance it wouldn't work.
I've never heard of that, but maybe it's true. I didn't have a lot of time to argue otherwise, so I left without one.
I just cancelled my wirefly order and bought one from my Walmart.

Where are the locations for Walmarts that have them in stock if you're willing to share? I've been calling around with no luck in Orlando.
Long time lurker on this site
Just want to give thanks for this thread. Was able to get one from Walmart yesterday in Columbia MD.
FYI - Walmart dosen't sell many phones at all so therefore their CSR are clueless to how they sell phones. It took me about an hour to get mine but what saved me for even getting the phone was that I had Sprints backdoor Number in handy and called them 3 times and handed my phone to the CSR Rep so the Sprint Rep could coach him on what to do.
I suggest yall definitely do that if you go to Walmart
My local Walmart had a full stock of them as I believe no one knows Walmart has the phone and the funny thing is that there is a Sprint Store located right next to walmart in the plaza and they have still yet to receive their 1st shipment.

Man, you aren't too far from me. I'm in Gaithersburg, any idea how many they had in stock in Columbia?
Its crazy that Walmart has random stock of these phones while preorders at all major phone vendors haven't been completed (or even started).
I bought mine from dunnellon Florida. It was the only one they had.

I've moved on from T-Mobile to Sprint.
I got the Evo 3d. I have never ordered a phone this way. Usually its only through carrier or in store.
But I figured Id try wirefly.
No deposit.
Went well.
But I have silly worries because im anticipating this phone so much.
Anyone that has used them before?

I've used them a couple of times, and had no problems. Nothing to worry about. I decided to go the Radio Shack route, but that's because I want to make sure I have it at 9am when they open.
just wished you'd of posted that you were looking to get the phone before jumping on wirefly tho
http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Wirefly
They have a pretty good reseller rating over the last 6 months, but it looks like their customer service is crap.
I had a problem getting my HTC Hero from them (although it was back in '09?). I called, answered all information (literally took like 2 hours), and the sales rep continued to try to sell me accessories even though I had said no countless times. Then, the next day, they tell me to email them my SSN for security because Sprint rejected the upgrade or something. I cancelled and ordered straight from Sprint.

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I ordered my wife's Epic from them for $149.99 ($100 less then the Sprint stores launch price) and was very happy with the customer service and fast delivery time. Although as someone above stated they did try to push accessories and insurance on me, no big deal, I just turned them down.
I ordered my EVO 3D from them about two weeks ago for $149.99 with no shipping or tax (of which Sprint charges the full retail price of the phone for), so that was a huge savings. I was concerned about shipping times but after a recent call to them I was told it would be shipped on the release date of the 24th, and I should have it in 2 business days.
I will let you know how it went after I get my phone, but right now I feel pretty comfortable buying from Wirefly.
Don't know if anyone saw, but the "HTC Store" is taking pre-orders too.
http://shopamerica.htc.com/cell-phones/productdetail.htm?prId=39065
I just noticed it today. I was hoping to find accessories, but stumbled upon this instead.
So this is what I found out about wirefly. They were great. Great service. But one thing. I was robbed of my shipping fee.
How you say?
I paid 7.99 for 2day buisness. A couple different reps told me the phone should arrive friday.
It will not be here till Monday. Fedex is taking its sweet time.
It makes no since to pay that damn 2buisness day if you know damn well you wont make release.
I mean unless wirefly had it to me on friday. they should have told me it would make no difference with how they ship and saved me the 7.99.
Yes 179 is nice for the phone. But you add 8 bucks and 188. Or 199 and have it friday.
So in my view if you are intrested in which way to go. Just go to sprint. Or a walk in dealer.

Be waiting at the store before it opens in the morning, so you're the first one through the door when it opens. They operate on a first-come basis ... they can't prevent you from picking up your phone if you're the first one who shows up with proof of pre-ordering.
My guess is that HTC learned their lesson from the OG Evo... you should almost undoubtedly be able to walk into any other authorized retailer tomorrow and pick one up unless you live in the middle of nowhere.
All of the stores I have contacted about accessories in my area have told me they will have more than enough stock of the phones to satisfy pre-orders and walk-ins.

if you did the giftcard deal from sprint, you can use the giftcard at any corporate sprint store, maybe worth camping out at a larger one and see if you luck out and they have some and you can still apply it towards that?

not true, when the PRE came out, we had a list, and we HAD to hold the phone for I believe...24 or 48 hours for the person's in priority of the list (corporate sprint atleast)
good news is tho that some people actually didn't come and pick theres up, bad news is it still took a couple days to release them.
good news is my manager was a **** and he started selling the hold overs that night rofl.

next question though, can I not trade in my evo 4g at radio shack and still go bring it to a sprint store for the $150 credit?
you can trade in your phone to a corporate store at any time and get the money for it, you don't need to be purchasing anything at the time.

That's why I ordered mine from a Sprint Corporate Store.
Starting to get annoyed at my local store. It is a partner store, so they said they were opening at 10. My brother ordered his and they told him 8. Today a buddy preordered and they said they will be open "by 10".
I guess I will drive past it and see if it is open at 8, if not I will go back a few hours later. In the meantime I can pick up some bagels for my wonderfully understanding wife
I preordered from a corporate store but they've yet to call me about picking up my pre-order tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I was one of, if not the first, for that store to pre-order. I hope they haven't forgotten about my pre-order.
Got mine from wirefly. New contract. Left T-Mobile after 7 years. Feels great.

also, if anyone didnt know yet sprint is still offering $125 service credit for porting your number over. Even better reason to ditch tmobile...
When the Evo was released there was such a rush that it brought down the activation system for awhile. It's been speculated that the demand for this phone isn't as much as the OG Evo but be mindful none the less.
The East coast stores will be in full swing by the time it becomes your turn in the mid west, so allow yourself some time.... Enjoy.

yes, they extended it till the 23rd of next month
I dont think enough people know about that. With that discount and a giftcard that I get for signing up for service through my work website, I will be making money off getting this phone $100 gift card + $125 service credit+ selling my tmobile G2 which is in great shape will net me a bit of profit.
the original evo was in very high demand because it was actually one of the only phones available with the specs it had. No other carriers even had anything close to it. Now almost every carrier has 4.3 inch screen and well spec phones. Normal person really doesn't even know anything about processors, like bunch of my friends. They always ask me what phone they should get. mostly people go for screen size and android, ram processor is the last thing they care about, all they know is the 2ghz is faster then 1ghz.

yep doing the same thing. seems like not a lot of people know about the credit... I wonder if they apply it if you don't even ask for it. $125 off the phone plus selling my galaxy s = a profit for getting this phone!
Sprint still has tons for online sales.As my thread made awhile back there is no shortage of ev3d.
I ordered another today with the sprint premier link and had to call in to validate and the guy said it would have no problem going out today.And they had many leftover from the SP pre sale so online or sprint store either of them will have plenty.
Just saw that thread (it was on page 13 so forgive me for missing it)

Does iPhone 5 have anything to do with it?

Also if your a new Att customer or adding a line to a family plan (not upgrade) you can get the Galaxy SII for $99 + waived activation and free overnight shipping: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286281
There are 3 markets in the US not getting the GS II. Your market must be one of them. I think NC or SC might be the other and some place in Texas. I will look for the official info.

I don't know what STX is. Maybe southern Texas?

thats what the att rep told me also, i had the sprint samsung galaxy s2 version and returned it today so i can get the gsm galaxy s2 version from at&t today. Kinda sucks when every other place not bayarea related gets the phone and we dont. Im gonna wait for the Nexus prime instead. f-u at&t.
yea, i went to the store today too, im in modesto, they said it's because of the lawsuit that apple has against samsung. thats why they are not carrying them.
also my local target had some in stock... so i guess they are selling them.
i just pick mine up at west covina bestbuy
Can't have anything HOT in a corporate store that might smirk the iphone can they? LOL...makes me still wonder, conspiracy wise if at&t delayed the s2 to as close as the iphone 5, to keep the drones on board. Why would they get a superior phone, when they can get another looks/works like the old iphone?

Yes, apparently San Antonio, Austin, and Houston areas do not have it.
I was at Target last night and they had a non-functional display unit there, so I'm guessing they'd also have stock there. I'm in the bay area, north cal, too.
Can't wait until I can upgrade!
I got screwed over by this too. I waited until opening at the corporate store and they said "sorry, we didn't receive any". Great. On the launch day.
Luckily best buy had 4 in stock and I got the last one.
I also picked up the GSII yesterday Saturday. Asked if they had the GSII, sales guy said yes, so picked it up. Great device. Its the best phone I have used. Now I see why Apple is really worried that the SGII will be a better device.

Yeah, definitely something weird. I talked to a mobile services rep at Target tonight (he says they're getting them in stock @ Target this week) and he mentioned that "something happened" in regards to why the AT&T stores are not carrying them around here. Which is strange, because why just NorCal, and not SoCal?

How frustrating... Im going to pick one up in San Diego on a business trip in a few days. I hope they still have some stock by then.
when i went into the corp stores yesterday their reasoning was "it was illegal to sell this phone in california". after some searching on the internets it seems the rumor is apple has some sort of lawsuit with samsung and therefore at&t is not selling the gs2 in stores. who wants to guess that itll be lifted once the iphone5 is out?
Got mine yesterday at the att store in Oceanside. They wouldn't tell me how many they started with, but there was only one left at 5:30. So far, it is amazing. Turned off my old GS. Trying to see how long I can go without rooting...

I'd even consider the unlocked or dev version from htc direct, but hence no black available there either...
I'm starting to wonder if the black is worth the extra $100 over the silver... but I'm not sold on the silver yet.

All I know is they are over -150 orders in and they are just waiting for them to start showing up. If you cut it close get the silver and just trade it before the 14 days. I am hopeful that it will be either tomorrow or early next week.

That is awesome! Now I'm tempted to head over there lol. I may call to make sure.

Make sure you call before you go. I had three stores tell me the silver was in stock when the HTC one was released when in fact it wasn't.

Display models or available for purchase?

All I know is they are over -150 orders in and they are just waiting for them to start showing up. If you cut it close get the silver and just trade it before the 14 days. I am hopeful that it will be either tomorrow or early next week.
I have not heard from a single person who has got it...

If you trade it, even though it is the same phone, you are still in the hook for the $35 restocking fee, right?

probably but I'm sure you probably can try to argue that it was suppose to be out the 19th and you had to get the rebate just to see what they said. I just talked to AT&T and it may be better news she said that the preorders and now at -144 so either they started shipping some or people canceled the orders.
I guess I'll call some Best Buys today then... I bet they'd even price match Walmart's $150. I'll also try calling a few corporate stores again today, though I'm sure they're tired of people calling.

I was at best buys yesterday and almost purchased a silver one. They approved the price match with walmart without hesitation. Decided to hold off and wait for the black but it's getting really difficult.

I actually got my silver on the 18th, but no rebate, just the media link streamer. I'm not sure it is worth the extra $35.

Just called them. They do not have the black in stock as I suspected. I doubt there are any black units in stores currently since the AT&T preorders haven't even shipped.

Unless they actually checked the availability right in front of you there's reason to believe them. I've been misled several times already.
I don't follow market trends or tactics but if I had to make a guess. You will see the black show up on the S4 release date.
Additionally, I'm surprised BB matched Wal-Mart. The price match doesn't include wireless phones. At least that is what their policy states.

my BBY said they stopped that practice. And I was trying so hard to wait to see if my Radio Shack was getting it so i could do the $50 Play store card. but they have no info on it. So I called ATT chewed them out and got the silver one for $150 free overnight and no activation fee. Im currently siting by the door lol im so impatient couldn't wait any longer:laugh:
