Well I went to my local Sprint store today and asked the employee there about pre-ordering the Evo 3d, he said they weren't taking pre-orders and he hasn't heard anything about when they will take pre-orders. Cool
Yeah until an official email goes out I think it's just a hit or miss between stores. I'm getting worried though. June 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 8th (some speculation dates I've heard) are all right around the corner and still no word!
I want to know why they wont give a dang price. I dont wanna pre order something when I dont know how much its gonna cost.

Id say a safe estimate is no more than $300 with full upgrade eligibility. Is that too much? Also, preordering does not lock you into the purchase so who cares?

Some stores might not be doing it yet but the store in Lafayette, Louisiana is. I just pre ordered 2. 1 for me 1 for wifey. Paid 100 bucks and got back a yellow sprint card.
The manager said I was the first guy to come in and ask about them. He seemed to know exactly what was going on and processed my payment really fast.

I think what is likely the case is what was mentioned in another thread - corporate stores seem to know the situation while the non corp stores do not. Might not be an airtight assumption but seems to have some clout to it.
Only can pre order at cooperate stores. I jus did mine at union nj

you think it'd really be necessary for a pre order? Unless you are really into cell phones and tech, most people don't even know this phone exists. I can't see them being endangered of selling out or anything opening weekend. I could be wrong.
The evo4g was on backorder for weeks after it was released in my area, heck even my touch pro was oos for a week+ on release. Those purchases were done through a corporate sprint store so im sure they were available at other places but people who want to go through sprint will probably need a preorder if they want it soon.

Last year there were about 15 people waiting outside of radio shack at 545 who didn't pre order the evo. RS only had about 5 that weren't spoken for by pre orders. If you want to be safe and get one on day 1, I strongly recommend you pre order.

When i pre ordered the guy had to read me a list of things and we basically had a convo about it . He says for the evo there was like 30 people at 7 am. So if the store theoretically got 100 phones alltogether....and 90 ppl pre ordered and 5 came into get it and i didnt get out of work till 4 pm to come get mine id be **** out of luck and have to wait a couple more weeks. He says chances are slim but it could happen. I pretty much stated the same thing you said to him but he seems to think it will be popular to non-techy people too right off the bat.

Stopped by just to confirm my pre order since i had not received any confirmation. I asked the manager if he had any information on a release date, and he said the store "advocate" was in last week to teach the sales reps about the phone. He said usually when this happens it's a month or less to launch date, but he had no specific date at this point. He confirmed i was on the preorder list and they will call me as soon as any phones come in. Should be very soon i would imagine.

Yes, if it falls in the right hands. But most likely it will be a ota update for all of the Evo 3D. I think its too much of a hassle to unlock them first because the phone is releasing June 5th. MY OPINION DON'T TELL ME TO GO GET AN IPHONE, that joke is old, redundant, and futile.

That seems off.
store here in palo alto, ca have not had the trainings yet. They are usually about a week before release.
The guys I know at the two corporate stores locally (I used to be a sprint employee)
one of them's an ASM and the other a Lead Rep at the other location, neither of there store's have the 3D in nor info on the advocate program.
I can tell you tho that if its getting advocated yet, you'll see leaks on the net guaranteed and also, its true, once they go advocate its normally sub 1 month to release, more like 2 weeks..
But I can't confirm, I can tell you tho that the store I used to work at is a Top 100 in the enterprise and are pretty much first on the list to get/know whats up.
so /shrug no idea, hope so, but unconfirmed so far.
I was told June 4th when I placed my preorder at a sprint store, same day they were doing training

We all have to realize there are two types of people that work at sprint stores. People that are there that just do the job and tech junkies like us. Therefore, I believe everybody that says June 4th are people that read the forums like us. I really do hope it is June 4th but with little info and nothing in the FCC we will most likely be waiting a little longer.

I just have trouble believing that they wouldn't announce the release date more than a week prior to the date. June 4th is one week away, and it seems unlikely to me that it will launch less than one week after they announce it. I hope they do though!

HTC too, end of the month is end of the quarter...dem earnings reports
My Sprint store just called to set up my appointment to get the evo 3d. Set it up for after work on the 24th. Still on the fence as to if I am going to get it. But at least I can look at it first.
HELP..I've been trying to find myself and found I don't exist.
I called the store I ordered mine at just to find out when they would be setting up appointments, and they said the day before. I might call again this weekend and make sure though. Not knowing when to show up until the day before is kind of nerve wracking.
I did my pre-order today in the store, and they told be that they would be opening at 8 AM on the 24th, and I could just stop in at anytime after opening to pick mine up. No early premier pickup, that can only be done online. I was 49th on the pre-order list.
I just got a call as well. 8 AM on the 24th for me.

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.

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 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.

Word of advise, make sure you are clear what you are looking for. No employees at Walmart knew what the 10 was. They all thought I meant the 7.

Dont believe anything Currys/PC World is telling anyone. I suspect they are saying those things in the hope people will wait and buy from them.
Heres an idea. Ring the Customer Sales line 5 times, you will get 5 different answers.
They havent got a clue.
When I went in to my Local Curry's, the Manager told me he didnt even know when the Nexus 7 was coming in untill his stock arrived by courier.
Gamestop has it listed in their system but no release yet as of a few days ago when I inquired in-store while pre-ordering a Neo-Geo X Gold bundle & an additional arcade stick (woohoo!!!). FWIW, I inquired at a local wally world & they had no clue what I was talking about as they thought I was referring to the N7 also although I did see the shelf sticker listing for it. He scanned the barcode & it wasn't in-stock yet.
There was a spare place on the display rack at local Walmart here in Salt Lake City. Label on shelf had Samsung GT-whatever, which after checking the internet, corresponded to the N10. $499. Asked but no one had a clue. Maybe it'll be in stock by the weekend?

Looks like it might be longer than we thought for retail N10 availability.
The retailer will be selling the 32GB Nexus 10 for $499. The device will be available for pre-sale at all Staples stores, and on the company's website. It is expected to ship between Dec. 23 and 30, and will take 2-3 business days for delivery, Staples said.
