Qualifying customers will receive an email on June 21, or they can log on to their account at www.sprint.com on June 21, click "show me my rewards" and then "Sprint Premier Community" for more information."

same here. Hope this ancient Touch Pro can hold out until then.
I wonder what the delivery time is if you order online. Seems like it would arrive on the 23rd/24 unless you pay the big bucks for overnight delivery.

The EVO 4G was $450 from Sprint if you weren't eligible for an upgrade on launch day...Best Buy was trying to get people to pay $560 for that *****! I paid the $450 from Sprint online the morning of June 4th and had it in my hands by the 6th. I can only assume that the 3D will be along the same price range...maybe slightly higher...I am completely guessing though
Does anyone know how Sprint calculates the discounts? My contract isnt up until Oct so i was wondering how much i would pay for the Evo 3D
Best Buy has made their official announcement as well...
We know what Radio Shack's 'E3D Goodie Bag' is going to consist of, I wonder what Best Buy and Sprint will offer as goodies to entice us? With the evo, Best Buy threw in a free bluetooth headset. I forget what Radio Shack did. Anyone have any ideas?
So Rad shack is doing a trade in does anyone know if best buy is

I just got back from Sprint store. They are officially taking pre-orders now and I was their first one! Had to buy a 50 gift card but I expected that. The Sprint rep seemed really certain that Sprint would NOT be extending the instant rebate past the 23rd which would screw all the E3d people. He said and I quote " Sprint will NOT do it...won't do it." He said the staff had just had a meeting about it a few days prior and the MIR/IR rebate issue came up. He was not happy about it because, well, obviously that would chase all the people to Best Buy and Radio Shack both of whom at the moment seem to be offering better deals. Who knows, Sprint may cave at the last minute. I'm cool either way. I already have a preorder at Best Buy so whoever offers me the best deal gets to close the deal. Sprint would have to be total idiots to can the instant rebate the day before a flagship phone launches. Hopefully the rep just has outdated info that may not have been released to them yet....we all know how they are the last ones to find out anything which is actually pretty sad.

I got that email myself today, funny thing is, I cancelled my preorder last week since i was about to hit 30 days to return the giftcard and once the buyback program was off the table I was out of there
I just saw this on androidandme and came here to post it....
I sure hope this is correct. The font difference doesn't bother me...I've worked for companies that have different fonts in the same sentence. Some people don't care, especially on internal docs.
What I wish it didn't say was "release dates subject to change".
I'm still going to keep hoping this phone comes out next week. I've been tempted to dump VZ but honestly, I'm worried the other companies service is going to be sub par.....and the only other phone that interests me is from Samsung....which also makes me not interested. LOL

I ported my number to AT&T to get the Inspire 4G. AT&T is sub par, at least in my area. I have until 3/22 to port back to Verizon so I'm hoping too its 3/17.

Resolution bothered me a lot; everything was super small. Plus, the screen was long and skinny and I wanted something more proportional like the TB or Inspire.

Looks like the 17th it is. Our VZW Business Rep confirmed I'll be able to order with him over the phone. He of course, did say, "unless something crazy happens and they dont let us sell it"
So excited!!!!!!!!!
17th it appears to be.
From my EVO with Cyanogen
Just saw a commercial for the thunderbolt. First ive seen. Signs seem to be pointing at a release fairly soon.
I would put money on the official announcement coming from VZ tomorrow if the 17th is indeed going to be the day. Not a lot of money....gotta buy accessories.

The phone is launching on the 17th, there is no doubt about it. Its official, and an annoucement should be made tomorrow morning.
P.S. Some stores are opening at 7 AM. I would call your local store to double check. If you're in the LA area, pm me and I'll give you the info to the stores that I know of that are opening early Thursday.
God I hope that the 17th actually sticks! I love my Evo but Sprint service sucks at my job and we have a Verizon cell of some kind there with antennas all throughout the building so I'm dying to be able to make the switch now that they'll have an awesome 100% hackable phone!

Looks like wirefly has pre-order up and says they will ship on the 17th and verizon changed its homepage flash to thunderbolt. Looking good for 17th.

The RadioShack preorder page that was leaked before is now up. http://www.radioshack.com/evo3d
At the bottom it says "Trade-in offer good 6/24 - 7/31/2011." That would seem to offer more support to the 6/24 release date idea.

Never dealt with RS but i wouldn't worry too much about the mail in rebate. Sprint keeps renewing this instant rebate and it seems to coincide with new phone releases. I am sure this allows them to cancel it when they want to but i don't see that happening with this phone. Very little would hurt their sales more than canceling this with no notice.
I hope this is legit
So I was not seeing things!!! Wohooo

This was a good idea. Set one up as well. That will keep me from having to stand in line first thing in the morning.
But didn't the official Sprint email not have the green hornet movie? And there's no mention of the spiderman game demo. I mean I hope its right but I'm hesitant.

Insurance for $4. Is that correct? And if not, do you think I will still be covered?
All the other phones on the account have TEP for $7/mo.
I ordered it off of wirefly.com if that makes a difference
I've never seen that code.
I'd double check what is covered with that
if its a discounted code or if its just the code for ESRP (which doesn't make sense the way its worded there)
could be an old code, a new code, something you had on there for a while maybe, or something they put on cause they get paid on it and scammed you.
What I can tell you, is that to my knowledge (there is a $4 warranty plan) but It doesn't cover everything that T.E.P. does ...but that **** does say T.E.P. right there so I'm stumped, call and check..simple answer.
Code is TEP4, you are good to go... I have it on all my phones.
You can one or the other for 4 each. Or both for a dollar off...
Interesting. I guess I'll just leave it and hope it works.
Can you apply the code after purchasing the warranty?

im connected to sprint chat checking to see if i can use the TEP4 thing....those responses about it on here seem a little detail lacking
the rep has never heard of it before, but is looking into it
will edit when i figure it out one way or the other
edit: yeah they have never heard of that...said there are no promotions
Hopefully I can switch from the $7. TEP to this one.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Quick search reveals that tep4 is an SOC code used by Sprint reps to give customers a TEP discount. It may have originated shortly after TEP increased from $4 to $5(1/2005 according to my bills) as a way to appease people who complained about the increase. Historically, increases were $5-$6 in 1/2006 and $6-$7 in 2/2007. Fyi, word is TEP is to increase from $7 to $8 July 24th.
Evidently, the code is still active, but finding a rep who will apply it is the big challenge. I might try it myself.
I wish Sprint would go with someone other than Asurion...I've had bad experiences with them.
the $4 tep is intended for long term customers that dont currently have insurance... congratulations... enjoy tep at half price

I have never had issues with Asurion. They have been nothing but a pleasure to do business with besides, not having the Evo's in stock is not necessarily their fault. The same would happen with any insurance company Sprint went with. The demand for the Evo was even larger than Sprint and HTC had imagined so every one was out of stock on them and they were on back order everywhere.
Let's hear some success stories getting this code added!
This could be fantastic news!
Called twice they said no.
I'm not even sure how it got added in the first place.
$4 TEP is insurance only though. Which means only stuff you pay $100 deductible on, so you don't get the warranty and in store repairs of the $7 TEP. So if that is important to you keep the $7 TEP.
EDIT: I may have been wrong. I know TEP used to incorporate two services the insurance and the in store repairs, but since this is being called TEP in the system it may be the same thing as the $7 one but at a discount. just a word of warning because at one point in time you were able to buy the in store service and insurance separately with Sprint.
Actually no to all being a sprint rep you have a choice of service and repair for 4$, equipment replacement for 4$ od both for 7 soon to be 8$

There was a shortage of evo's at the time. Even service centers suffered/suffering with a 3 to 5 day wait on exchanges. i can tell you first hand of the many claims I've filed for customers, its always a smooth transaction.

If you pre-ordered through Sams they will Ship out Tomorrow (they'll email you tracking number) and you should get it by Wednesday. (Which is the Release date).

Yea, I was considering doing the same thing. But Im really torn between the 2. Evo lte or galaxy nexus. I was initially waiting on the g-nex, but after realizing there is no sd slot (which I dont think I can coupe with) and a lower res cam (why on earth would they do that) plus the addition to the evo's cam abilities, slow mo + hdr and to top it off with an 8 mp cam and 2.0 fstop and micro sd, its kinda hard to ignore all of that, not to mention a faster processor (which im sure the gnex will be oc'ed and the evo too) and slightly bigger screen.
PLUS (caps intended) for only $150? Its like I have no other choice but to pick the evo over the gnex (altho I know primarily what Im speaking is entirely off topic) so yea, I will be pre-ordering this week sometime, not knowing how long I will be waiting.
To answer your question though (which I've forgotten by now): N/A
I just ordered one yesterday and it said 2-3 weeks before shipping. I'm not good for a new phone till June 1, so they'll put it through then. And the insurance is only $6.99 a month.
Just checked my order status and it still says approved awaiting inventory. 7:55 pm on Monday.

As far as the webpages looking the same, thats just a Portal Tool they use to order phones/services through Service providers, however that's all they have in common, stocking/inventory is still through Sams Club and webpage has nothing to do with that.
Clearly the Sams Rep. had no clue about the phone being held by customs. Getting my hopes ugh curse her!
Anyways so i called Wal-Mart last week (before pre-ordering from Sams) and they tell me that they don't carry Sprint.
I go today to get a few things and i checked out their Electronics section just for the heck of it. SURE ENOUGH I SEE SOMEONE purchasing the Brown Boxed LTE EVO! Boy did i get excited, so when I ask that i wanted one too, they told me that, that was the last one. and they had no clue when they were going to get more in. UGH!
I also slightly fussed about why someone told me that they didn’t carry sprint, they gave me no response, just said “I don’t know why they told you that.” Talk about poor communications to customers.
I also pre-ordered in store through Sam's Club for $149.74. Their orders are handled by cellstores.com which is a service of Simplexity. We are all in the same boat as the Wirefly group. Waiting without any info from Sam's Club, Sprint or Simplexity.
Although they did tell me in store last Thurs (5/24) that it would ship Friday (5/25) and I would have it Tuesday (5/29) because of the holiday. Didn't believe her then and I absolutely do not believe her now.
I sent a pretty nasty email to Sam's and they offered me a Bluetooth headset. I really don't want a cheap headset I want to know when will I get my phone! I guess in the future I will use BB or Sprint.

Just got this email...Sound familiar?
Dear xxxxxxxx,
We are very sorry for the inconvenience that you have experienced with your preorder of the Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE through Sam's Club Mobile. While the situation is completely out of our control, this is certainly not the sort of customer experience that we endeavor to provide and we regret the delays you are experiencing.
At this point, you probably know that inventory for the HTC EVO 4G LTE is severely constrained nationwide. The latest information we have is that US Customs officials only released a small fraction of the device last week and the entire first shipment was just released (see article for additional information). We are in constant contact with Sprint and will send you an email with the latest official information as soon as we can.
In the meantime, we appreciate your patience. As a token of our appreciation for your loyalty, we are upgrading your shipping to Next Business Day at no additional charge. It isn’t much, but we feel it is the least we can do.
Thanks again for shopping with us. We greatly appreciate your business and hope to be shipping your new HTC EVO 4G LTE soon.
Sincerely,
Your Friends at Sam's Club Mobile
Sorry but Sam's offers Next Business Day Shipping from the get go. Thanks for nothing.....
I actually just received that email. Ill post the one I got earlier offering the headset.

Not sure if this has been posted, or even if I can post something like this, but I am upgrade eligible and really wanted a EVO LTE because I liked how the white version looked and the SVDO is also really appealing. I was searching forever for a deal, and really didn't want to even pay $50 the other week at Best Buy and I missed the day where BestBuy.com was selling for free. I came across an old SlickDeals post -
http://slickdeals.net/f/5324082-Sprint-HTC-EVO-4G-LTE-49-99-for-Upgrade-or-New-Line
The post was for a 49.99 deal, but when I clicked on the link, the Sprint site (which is a private store for Valued Sprint Customers) had several select smartphones and the EVO LTE was only .99 and no activation fee or shipping. I was able to order the phone without any troubles and now I have an EVO LTE on its way to me for next to nothing! If anybody else wants to avail themselves of the offer, you can either follow the above link, or I will post brief directions taken from the post here also:
go to http://www.sprint.com/99centoffer
Click on Phones tab, then select the type
That should take you to this website:
http://shop2.sprint.com/NASApp/onli..._Phone_Char&id12=CustomAisleLanding_Promo_PDA
I imagine that at some point Sprint might close this off, but until then I may have to take advantage of it a couple of times for some other people I know with upgrades. Cheers.

i thought this was spam...but i did check it out and youre right. good find!
yea i got mines for that same price too! ..i saw on amazon for 20 bucks..new contract! n everything
Hey OP. Thanks for the post! Just bought my wife another little Christmas gift!
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
ya sprint has had some great deals ..just got one for the wife for free at best buy.. with contract renewal
I paid the $10 4g fee since the og evo. Never got 4g on two lines, so I complained and got a two line contract reset and 200 credit and an evo lte and galaxy s3 free. Try this over the phone with tech help after the third call and remember what you say. Sprint made my day, and it's wonderful having 4g all over chicago (not there yet officially) even in a warehouse basement from the 1910's. 5gb each day and never roaming or throttled, unlimited is the best. But i must say the evo lte is a way better phone, but the samsung has way better reception. Bye HTC loved my last 6 years with you, but back to samsung because i get signal. :crying:
if only I waited a bit longer. oh well. looks like i'll be getting my brothers two evos for their christmas gifts
I just bought the phone for my girlfriend with this link. thanks!!!!
Got mine my wife one for Christmas last week through bestbuy.com ...it was a 24-hour free Evo LTE with contract extension...since I got my evo in July I jumped all over it...gotta keep an eye out for all those deals.
Anyone received there's yet that was ordered this way? Curious. Actually JUST came back from the store after buying one to replace my broken one ($99 upgrade was cheaper than the $150 Asurion deductible), havent activated it yet but need to tonight, wonder if I could return it when this 99-cent one arrives.
Mine was delivered within 48 hours of ordering, but I was also within 30 mins of a UPS warehouse.

Thanks, ordered mine yesterday and currently "awaiting processing at the warehouse".
I hope this is still going Jan 1st when my wife can upgrade. That would save me a lot of $.
$79 with upgrade/ 1¢ new line on Amazon. I'm still considering getting one.
Seems to be valid...

Can you order through this offer if you're on SEROP?
Well, despite having already done the upgrade at the store, activating and extending my contract I still placed an order for this that evening and it came today. Returned the Evo I just paid $150 for to the store, activated the one I paid 99 cents for when I got home without any problems. Of course, returning the one I bought in-store also undoes the contract extension associated with it, we'll see at what point the 99 cent one reinstates the extension. Definitely glad I saw this thread though, definitely saved me money!
Did any of you get this when selecting the phone:

Anyone have a problem with the checkout sticking when it says sending data? The status bar doesn't move, at all.

I just ordered mine. I'm really hoping this works. If so, you just saved me money and a phone I was going to trade in to the buyback program. I'll let you guys know.
