Exactly...there are also claims of backorders in this thread!
Amazon is showing backorders also. I got mine from Sprint.. but they have yet to call me to make an appointment to pick it up :/
Ya know, I went through Wirefly fully expecting this to happen, but since I got it for $130, while keeping my EVO (giving to the wife), I can wait a few days to save a few $$$.
^^I didn't order mine fast enough, so I paid $180 for the phone and $20 for next day shipping. I might cancel my goddamn order if they don't get their sH#! together.
Sent an email bombarding them with questions; will post response.
It just means they are waiting till the 24th to start shipping. Since the phone does not come out till then. They have no inventory of it to ship.
I just called sprint and they stated that there are plenty of 3VO's at telesales. It may cost you more but you will get it at least.

That's my understanding as well.
I ordered online with Radio Shack, and I have the same screen. I called them up, and they said they are not yet authorized to ship.
I'm in black, rep in red.
I didn't waste any time, i order mine yesterday morning (6/21) from Sprint for $199 and it arrived today.

$130. How?
I'm gonna guess 179.99 and 50 cashback if using BofA add it up. I did the same thing and I had my order since the 6th. I'm sitting here checking my email at least ten times a day waiting for this thing to be shipped already. This can drive a sane man nuts I tell ya!!

Amazon does show it back ordered on the Add To Cart screen, but when you're ready to pay for it the delivery date is June 28th. That's right on spot with their free 2-day shipping.
That's where I ordered mine from this morning.

Most likely bank of america add it up cash back ($50). $180-$50 = 130.
You get $50 in 6-8 weeks if you order it through the add it up website. Wasn't worth the hassle and you can't switch the phone to a different line on your account for the 1st six months or you get charged like $350.

edit: To me, the text on the bottom looks a little fake. It's a different font and it looks slightly slanted.. might be me though.
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.
So what made you return the Atrix?

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.
I got an email Best Buy about my preorder today as well. This is the first email from Best Buy since I preordered one month ago, it must be a good sign.

If you want to believe Engadget the TB is dropping on the 17th.

We should find out in the next day or so.
17th looks to be a good possibility. However maybe not. Wait and see. I find it funny to watch all those getting aggravated with the speculation. Get a life, all in fun.

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.
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk
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.
Trust me, its launching on the 17th....
Barring something totally catastrophic happening, its going to launch, ready or not....
I'm getting one. I'm stoked.
VZW has officially announced the Thunderbolt release on the 17th.

That sux. That's what being impatient will get ya, hahaha. No man J/K that must really suck big time.
I really wish I would get a phone call like this just so I could say "ARE YOU DAFT?!?!" in a snotty, British accent.
Seriously though, that sux man. Hope you can get it squared away, regardless.
I just went to the store and the Manager behind the damn counter had the Evo3d to his ear on the conference call. I was MAD at this point. I demanded to speak with the District Manager and he told me once he got off the phone with her that they would call me back Thursday to most likely price match what was in the ad. This has been my first phone I have ever got on launch day, and it has turned into more bull**** than I have ever known. Almost not really worth the stress.
EDIT: It wouldn't be so bad, had I not went to the store personally and asked if the phone was going to be 499.99 and was told YES. I'm calling the better business bureau to discuss if this can and is legal to do.

Mis-Prints do indeed suck. Good luck to you on this. I am sure they will be shaking in their boots.
i preordered with RS and after i had swiped my card, they were like, you DO know you can't switch this phone to another line like you had planned according to RS, right?? and i said, well then i would not like to preorder. Their response: sorry, too late, enjoy your gift card.

That's simply not true. All you got to do is switch via sprint. It is your phone, they can't dictate how you use it. People upgrade phones all the time via one line, only to use it on another line.
Hi sorry to hear about that...One thing id do tho is go into the store and see if they still have their weekly ad...it was showing 499(i got one) and regaurdless of it was a misprint they SHOULD horor the printed price...Im a manager in retail and they might try and say it was a misprint but if its printed and you raise enough of a stink..You WILL get the price advertised...YMMV but just keep asking to talk to THEIR boss...Happens all the time...Most ppl will accept the misprint..those who dont accept it, get it for 499... hope this helps and u get it

The funny part is, they have the ads sitting on the counter IN THE STORE and are still giving out the $599 price lol. The dude in the RS I went to didnt even know about the $499 price in the ad until I pointed it out. I'm not surprised though.. ive been questioning how RS and Amazon would be able to sell this phone so cheap considering even Sprint is selling it for $549 off contract. Best Buy and Target both raised their prices by $100 last week and I figured RS would follow suit.
Im telling you now, dont be surprised if Amazon changes the price on people Friday lol. Now that would be a tragedy.
If you bought your EVO 3D at Radio Shack on launch day (06/24), You have until tomorrow to return it.
In case you did not know Radio Shack has a 14 day return policy(scroll to the bottom) on cell phones and or contracts.
Sprints 30 return policy does not apply here

radio shack receipt
*waits for nate420's head to explode*
Each store must have their own policy...I even remember explicitly asking if there was a 30 day policy, and they said yes...and the chicks that work there are buddys of mine. I can even return up to 30 days after the original sale to trade in my evo for $158.... my paperwork all states 30 days, new service or upgrade.

No problem, but, to be safe I would still investigate your own receipt. It might be a regional thing or perhaps on a store-by-store basis...and that websites verbiage seems like pretty srs bsns. But I trust the gals at my local Radioshack a little more than a sternly worded website.
I too was told 30 days when I purchased it. I have the reciept somewhere, but I'm not going out of my way to find it since I have no intention if taking it back anyway. Yes, I'd like to be able to root, but even unrooted this phone is alot better than the 4G, IMO.
The shack told me 30 days also

nope not troll. The rep i had was a supervisor. i work out of town as a paramedic and i'm gone two weeks at a time. i spent 45min on the phone with them because they were trying to see if they could just ship it to me at work. but when she called the warehouse to find out that when she told me about the issue with HTC.
they aren't gonna release nationally and not ship pre-orders first, i'm not worried... once again the initial shipping date was the 15th before they chamged the words up

well i'm trying to start a fight just posting what they told me.
Sprint didn't just receive all the evos 2 days before they're to ship, cmon, I'm not even saying this dummy on the phone didn't tell you that story. I have never gotten any real info from a sprint rep... They have about as much inside info as me. I know anyone on this forum knows more about these phones than them. They work off of scripts.... She probably just didn't want to help you, what a surprise, I'm sure no ine else has called this week to change an order...... Relax it will be there Wednesday worst case Thursday

i think you forgot to add the *NOT in there, all I'm saying is history shown that sprint reps or almost any other reps are clueless to what really going on, I was just in a sprint chat with a rep 2 days ago and he initially told me that there hasn't been a release date announced for the LTE yet... so I had to link him to the sprint press release, they know nothing most times, we most times know more than them. so i trust that we'll get it before the 18th

I agree^^^^^ Sprint reps know nothing. I always know more about their phones and specs than they do. Its pretty sad but true. So I dont trust what they got say 100% of the time.
I am sure the stores have them on the shelf now they just can't sell them to the 18th.
Locked....no need for this many pre-order threads guys. If you have info post in one of the others...
I really hate that verizon told me that they were shipping my phone to me via fed ex even though I went into the store to preorder. I now have to wait for fed ex to drop it off so I am on their time until it arrives. why have a store that just makes me order it the same way I can do it myself. I would much rather have the phone in my hands at 8am when they open on wednesday morning not 2pm when the fed ex driver gets done eating lunch.
other things that irritated me about the preorder experience.
1. they dont accept Cash
2. they tried to make me sign the ipad for my receipt... I made them print me one and give me a pen (just to be a prick more than anything)
3. $30 upgrade fee? wtf is that... once I get the phone I'm going to call and get that removed since its a bogus charge for a 13year VZW customer... you dont even need to call and activate anymore all I need to do is swap my sim from my nexus and put it in the DNA so I'll ask them what the $30 covers cause its not VZW store employees who are accepting my order and helping me "activate" or set up my phone which they shipped to my house.
did anyone else preorder instore? or did everyone else order online?
I'm not sure why you would pre-order today as you won't get it for 2 days, if you wanted to pick it up at 8AM in store why didn't you just wait until tomorrow and go in and get it? I never heard of anyone pre-ordering in store.
Also, Verizon has been charging the $30 upgrade fee for a while now, but only if you buy it subsidized.
I preordered last week on Wednesday... I always do it in store cause I always upgrade a different line than my data line... Call me old fashioned but every once in a while I like to interact with other people and not a computer.

sucks. That's why I didn't bother to pre-order. I'm just going to go when they open at 8 tomorrow.
I pre-ordered it last wednesday as well. Still no update. :/
My tracking just updated... I might get it today if it comes before work... No one knows about this phone other than people who follow android so I doubt you will have a problem walking in and getting it.

I'm the same way, I always go to the store to order new phones and accessories.
My question though was why you drove to the store to pre-order it when you could have just driven there tomorrow morning instead and know that you can just pick it up then and there.
