So I have pre-ordered my Flyer here state-side at Best Buy (seeing that I work at one)... And just checked the inventory system today and it appears that the tablet is showing an in-stock date of 5/22/11 or this upcoming Sunday!
So I hope that my store gets one, because I'm the only one that has pre-ordered
P.S. This would be the 16Gb WiFi only version of course!
And sorry if someone already posted this!
I hope they come in Friday!

Update please!
Sorry
I haven't been back to work since posting, I return on Friday, however I will have a friend check the SKU for me if he works tomorrow to see if any are on the Truck coming for the weekend!
Sweet, look forward to the update, glitz.
If they are on the truck I will see if I can pick on up on Sunday.
I was hoping the the pre-order folks would get them on or before the 22nd...
Wonder if it would be possible to convert my pre-order into an in store pickup if they are on the shelves Sunday.
The just officially announced availability on Sunday, May 22nd in Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile stores.

"Wi-Fi HTC Flyer Tablet Launches May 22 Exclusively at Best Buy
Best Buy today announced that the Wi-Fi only version of the HTC Flyer™ tablet launches on May 22. All Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile standalone stores, as well as BestBuy.com, will have the tablet exclusively at launch. The HTC Flyer is a fast, portable, light-weight tablet that integrates the immersive and highly intuitive HTC Sense™ experience and enables content including videos, music, games and more to be easily accessed and enjoyed. The addition of the HTC Flyer to our tablet lineup gives Best Buy further opportunity to help connect customers with the mobile technology that best meets their needs."
Is there any word on how much each Best Buy is getting?
I wouldn't mind jumping the border this weekend to get one if theres no shortage.
More Information
So yeah as jwiskowski posted it is official 22nd is the launch date! So I have some rather interesting news, my store has 3 Flyers on order. However they are not listed as in-transit (meaning they will be on the next delivery truck). So it appears that they will probably be drop-shipped just how they did with the iPad 2. So basically that means the UPS delivery person will bring them with regular store deliveries, and being that UPS doesn't ship to us on Sunday... I think it'd be safe to say the stores will have them by Saturday, but clearly they can't sell them until Sunday!
F0l3ert the only way to check this would to be to call the nearest store to you state-side, give them the Flyer SKU (2390524) have them plug that into RSS (the inventory system) and see what they have on order. If they are nice they shouldn't have a problem doing that haha
Oh and the stores on order number is usually excluding their demo unit so that should be an accurate on-hand count (meaning ones they can sell).
Hope to see y'all soon with your Flyers!
Oh and here is a link to the Engadget article outlining the launch details - click here!

Thanks for the tip. I called a few stores around my area and they are all getting about 8 units each. They said it was going to be a free for all on Sunday.
I also called to check if I could change my online pre-order to a in-store pick-up, and they couldn't do it since it wasn't actually shown in-stock at the stores.
Might be an interesting Saturday night / Sunday morning to figure out how I can pick one up before my trip next week.
Can you provide the sku for the pen?
I visited two BB's today (Friday 20th)... both of them had physical possesion of their allotted Flyers... but alas, neither would sell one to me. Told me to wait until Sunday.
I tried.
Best Buy just called me!!!! I am picking up my Flyer today!!!
Flyer is for sale now. Street date of 22nd was lifted and stores were instructed to sell on arrival today. Go get em

I just got mine. They apologized for not calling but apparently just unpacked them. I would say they had 40-50 at my store. (Orlando, Fl)
They had 10 pens out on a rack near tablet/phone accessories. No Flyer specific cases were present. Just generic one-size-fits-most zippered neoprene cases.
I will inbox and review ASAP.
I was at one 90 mins ago. They would not sell me one. Told me to come back on Sunday.

I just pre ordered this as well as my E3D. Wish I knew when the E3D would officially release. I have had the evo since the first day. http://xoskins.com/cell-phone-skin-protectors/htc-skin-protectors/htc-evo-3d-screen-protector
I contacted their customer service and they said as soon as they verify a perfect fit on a general release phone they will ship.
I spoke to a girl at their store. She said she thinks they will be ready on the 24th, so date of release? We'll see. She says they have it designed but they need to verify a perfect fit on the general released phone.

Buying some from Clarivue. Their EVO 4G ones were top notch.
I have called two Radio Shacks about this and not surprisingly they were clueless on the details. From the Radio Shack site:
Trade-in offer good 6/24 - 7/31/2011. $75 offer valid on select smartphones only. To be eligible, the phone must power on, cannot be PIN locked and must be in fully functional, working condition without any broken components, including, but not limited to, cracked display. In addition, the cell phone housing or casing cannot be cracked or broken, and neither the display nor the housing can exhibit any signs of liquid damage: Limit 1 per customer.

My Hero that has been beat to **** actually meets that criteria and I'd take $75 for it in a heartbeat. So...which phones are the "select smartphones" they reference? Is the Hero one of them?
When I called RadioShack, the guy I spoke with said the store has a list of phones 'guaranteed' to get $75 and that it was 'quite a few'. Unfortunately for me, an old HTC Touch Pro2 was not on that list .
I've been wondering the same thing because I would trade it no doubt for $75
if the list has been published, it'd be helpful! I have a htc snap, touch pro, centro, htc vogue that i'd love to get rid of for $75... total
Actually have a Question for you guys, if I take a Samsung Epic today will they traded in for a Gift Card?
The trade in right know is 140 for the Epic 4G... What do you think?
BTW.. The Epic is not in my name, it was a gift but it cannot be activated because the person has not pay the last bill, and the phone shows active.

Radio shack told me that my cdma hero would only get $52 Max from their buyback program. However, the guy seemed to be clueless as it took him 30 minutes to complete 2 Evo 3d preorders.
Can someone please post the $75 list if you have it?
Also, does it mention anything about the trade ins being stock/rooted?
EDIT. Signing up for RS email gets you a $10 off coupon. Maybe/maybe not work for Evo 3d as it says "May not be valid on certain other discounts." Whatever that means... worth a shot, I guess.
2.3.4 on a Hero? Yup
I just checked out my local RadioShack on 3rd Avenue in New York City and they had the list of cell phones that qualified for the $75 credit. Unfortunately the HTC Hero was not listed
See attached picture for the complete list posted at this RadioShack.
What a scam! $75 is theft for most of those phones!
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA Premium App
Sprint has their own buyback program that you can use as a credit toward you account. They are currently offering $150 for the original EVO! I'm using that and my $45 "stay with us" credit they just gave me on top of my upgrade...which will land me the 3D for $5! Check Sprint's buyback program and see how much they will give you for your phones: https://secure2.sprintbuyback.com/consumer/
They also accept phones from other carriers...

Better than nothing...and probably better than what anybody would give you for that phone! Hahaha! I paid $450 for the EVO on launch day because I bought the Hero on it's launch day with my upgrade and wasn't eligible for an upgrade in June when the EVO launched...I couldn't stand one more moment with the Hero! Sprint gave me $80 for it a year ago...win-win if you ask me!

The people near my current radioshack location have been completely clueless and useless when I mention the 3D. I'm going to try and pre order back home on Friday. I want to trade my Palm Pre and hope it works. I saw some members confirm that the Pre is eligble, so come Friday we shall know.
My Evo is beat up.. but works. I have a 3rd party battery and charger. Anyone have any experience selling it to Sprint/BB/RS?

best buy has them
all 3 radio shacks have them
in springfield ohio
The Sprint store at Warren and M-10 has them. I didn't try the store on Michigan Ave and Outer Drive but they usually have the new phones in abundant quantities.

So with the LTEVO pretty much delayed indefinitely, are you going to cancel your preorder or just wait it out?
im still deciding
gonna give it until friday to decide
Idk why anyone would cancel. Stuff happens.
No point in cancelling for me. There is no better phone on the horizon. Oh well, waiting I will be then.
Nope.
This is still the best bang for your buck phone right now. Underwhelmed by the SGIII. We didn't even think this phone would be out until June. I see no reason.
If you preordered from a reseller that gave you a discount for preordering, there's probably no reason to cancel unless you are changing your mind on the device altogether and getting something else right now.
If you are still sticking to the HTC ONE X or EVO LTE then you might risk losing the $$$ discount from the reseller preorders. No guarantee that the resellers will still offer below sprint's $199 after release. If you're ordering from amazon, you're still getting some freebies, and Best Buy has those tradein deals going on.
I finally was able to pinpoint that feeling I have right now. I knew it felt familiar.
This is like when you are at an amusement park and you get on that long ass line to ride the mega-coaster, you are only a few cars away from getting on the ride, when the operator tells you that the coaster is being closed for an indefinite amount of time.
"What do I do, do I wait? Get off the line?" You know the minute you get off the line, the ride will start up again and frustration will set in. But I really want to ride this ride and have a great spot.
I still want this phone, and since I've already been billed won't have to worry about coming up with the cash when an ever better one becomes available. While the delay is annoying, it will be a nice surprise when it finally makes it here.
Yeah I really want this phone I am waiting it out

Still have my OG Evo. It'll give Sprint time to rollout LTE to the NY Metro area. So I get to enjoy WiMax a bit longer.

I have the phone on reserve at my local Sprint store as a favor from the employee who works there. I also did an "official" pre-order at Best Buy Mobile. While Best Buy would be cheaper for me, at this stage in the game, I would probably take it from where I could get it.
Due to the fact I haven't had to put any money down at either location, there's no reason for me to cancel. It's just a test of patience for me at this point, since the T-Mobile contract I've been bound to expired last week, and I would have loved to have new service and a new phone sooner rather than later.

Then it becomes an issue as my OG EVO is doa. I am in need of a phone and the timing for this one was perfect. If and when we learn of the new date I will make a decision, hell I don't want to mess with a 'fixed' on either, just want a new freaking phone.
If this delay drags on for weeks, it might be Nexus time for me. I am without right now!
Sucks...
HTC EVO 4G LTE - DELAY
HTC shared this statement regarding the HTC EVO 4G LTE: “The US availability of HTC One X and HTC EVO 4G LTE has been delayed due to a standard U.S. Customs review of shipments that is required after an ITC exclusion order. We believe we are in compliance with the ruling and HTC is working closely with Customs to secure approval. HTC One X and HTC EVO 4G LTE have both received enthusiastic support and we appreciate customers patience as we work to get these products into their hands as soon as possible.”
