Pre ordered E3D from Best Buy a few weeks ago and they never called me. No worries since I received my E3D Tuesday from Sprint.
Just surprised they forgot about me
Its all good enjoying my new toy
Mine hasnt and wont call. I called them last night tho and they just said come whenever. Think it depends on the store and how big of a city you live in on the way they handle things.

Yea same here. My guess is my store didn't have a lot of pre-orders so they didn't bother scheduling people.
Gonna pick mine up tonight after work.

I also pre-ordered at Best Buy and didn't think I would get a call either. Last night I received a call at round 8ish and it was Best Buy asking me to set up an appointment. I've now had my phone for about an hour and enjoying it.
Yea, had an appointment at 9:15 this morning......things were kinda slow there...Gainesville, Florida...kinda makes you wonder about the economy....
they kinda put the hard sale on ya there though....with the screen protectors, and the car chargers , and the cases...and the insurance, and the buy back program..never said no so many times in my life....except with my two year old son...of course....
I have come from the hero so this phone is unreal.......

Same here Hero to E3D
It probably has to do with how each store handles their pre orders, i work at Radio Shack and we called all of our pre order customers.
BB called me last night and said to come in anytime after they open. They had one set aside for me. I told them I already received one from Sprint so I didn't need it.
Went in first thing this morning and nobody was there. There was the manager of the Mobile department messing with a 3D. I went to return the gift card and after about 20 minutes of them trying to figure out how to do it, they finally just gave me cash for it. I'm glad I didn't let these bozos activate my phone. Something surely would have went wrong.
Any of you have SERO-P when you went and upgraded? Seems a person over at PPCGeeks posted about issues getting Best Buy to activate the phone. A Sprint rep in store said Best Buy doesn't get reimbursed for SERO deals so they can't do it there.
I never heard of that one before. Most everything I've read about Best Buy is that if you have SERO-P going in, it should be no real issues other than getting the sales rep to call the employee line instead of normal CS.
I'm picking my phone up after work tonight and am on SERO-P.

What? I preordered the EVO 3D @ BestBuy and they said to come in the day it's released, NOTHING else. What is this appointment business I keep reading on about? Should I call them and schedule an activation? (lol)
Did they take your number down? They are supposed to call you a day or two before release to schedule the pick up appt. You should be okay but follow up with them on Thursday if you haven't heard anything by then

I'm hoping my Best Buy didn't have many preorders before me. I just barely went in a few days ago but I only have til the 30th to swap out this Nexus. I can't stand the crappy radio on this thing.
Called my Best Buy where I reserved today. The girl stated that she would call on Wednesday to setup the appointment. I was first on the list btw.
I went into my Best Buy and asked the guy if I should preorder it. He said it wasn't even worth it and to just come in on Friday... Anyone know why he said this? They just not have many preorders or what? I am pumped tho!
As of lunch today when i was called to schedule an appointment i was told that there were only 9 pre-orders and alot more in stock

Yea I asked the guy and he's like don't even worry about it. He even asked the other guy working with him and he is the one who said its not even worth it. Hopefully I still get one. I'm gonna get there at like 9:50 since they open at 10 here. I assume I will get one. If not that'll be upsetting. I'm excited. Been using my Hero for like a year now and am so tired of it
F*CK best buy. I called them today and they said they haven't called anybody yet to make appointments and I'm not guaranteed to get one even tho I pre ordered when they first started the secret pre order. They said they have to see how many they get so I asked what number am I and he said he doesn't know and can't tell me. Assholes lol. I'm gonna keep calling and show up Friday and if I don't get one I'm gonna kick there table over. Hopefully somebodies there with a evo3d and could record me going to jail in 3d.

I just got a call from Best Buy. They wanted to set up an appointment with me. Al though I had to say I couldn't come in on Friday and asked if I could come in another day and they said I could but I wouldn't need an appointment. They only do appointments on the 24th. I haven't recevied my student loan yet (yes I use my student loan money for an Evo 3D) so I can't really afford the phone. I really hope they stop being so lazy and actually process my application. Lazy government worker.
Well, the post got outta hand, but just wanted to say that my BB in SoCal did call for appointments.

Lazy government worker > kid using student loan money to buy a phone
Just sayin'
I called BB to see if I had missed their call. They said they haven't received the shipment yet. They took my appt time and said they were getting 30 phones and when I signed up I was # 13 on the list, two weeks ago
The only call I got from them was last night the guy called and asked if I wanted an invisible shield screen protector preinstalled.
I declined and asked if they would call to set up and appointment and he said no. They were opening at 8am on Friday and just to come in anytime on the 24th and pick mine up. He said they were in the process of putting the preordered ones aside and were going to install the screen protectors for people who wanted them(for an extra charge) over the next couple days so they would have time to cure.
BestBuy called me yesterday and I scheduled my appointment today for friday @ noon. (was the earliest I could do it).

Given the fact that my dad and brother pay 50% income tax and an additional 25% tax on everything they buy, I see nothing wrong loaning money _WITH INTEREST_ from the Swedish government to pay for my expenses. Somethings got to give after paying so much tax.

They called me this afternoon around 1. Set up my appointment right when they opened since I'm preorder #1.
Hey I was just wondering if any of you have received a call or any notification about your preorder that you made a month ago???
I have not.
no i haven't
I got a text message on each of my two lines that i preorodered a upgrade for about 2 weeks ago asking which day I wanted to pick mine up. I said Friday of course
I have not gotten a call :/
Im thinking about calling on my own.
They called me last Friday
posted about it here
I received a call last week to confirm what day I am coming in. No time appointment was given. I did however receive it yesterday from the premier link and still went to the store yesterday.
First they do have the phone and HTC View in stock. Second they could not sell me any accessories but had the courtesy to show me their case accessories that would be sold. They even held two for me just in case they run out since I will be coming after work.
I also did the $150 trade in with my rooted OG Evo keeping the sd card and charger. Not sure if Sprint will drop the trade in price come Friday so I did it asap yesterday.
I got a call yesterday from my sprint store that I pre ordered at and they asked what time I'd like to come in to pick up my evo 3d on friday....
I'd say if you dont hear from them by noon your local time give them a call and ask... If they say that they not doing appointments and they have one on hold for you, insist on making an appointment, also say that when you pre ordered your phone they said they would call and set up an appointment

Good point... im going to do that after work just in case it drops. Altho all the other retailers are buying Evo 4G for $150 and im sure Sprint doesnt want their lower trade-in value to steer customers away from them.
So how did they pay for your Evo 4G? What type of inspection did they do prior to buying your phone?
I think im going to have to call them today because I figure by now I would hear something....... I wont be very happy if I dont get to pick my phone up tomorrow lol.
I have not either. However I'm expecting one today. When I did my pre order I was told I would be called the day before, but if I don't hear from them by 3 I'm Calling! Sorry Not losing my phone I put money down for to some idiot walking off the street.
See I worry because I didnt have to put any money down. The way they did the preorder was weird. I swear they just wrote it down on a random spot on the computer lol
My sprint store called yesterday about noon. I got the Friday 8am appointment because I was first on the list.
I just called mine to confirm it but all they told me was that my name is on the list and I should just come when the store opens. It sounds like it essentially just reserved it. oh well. Ill have my new baby evo tomorrow
Really glad I did the Premier online order, because my store has still not called me. I'll probably go in to see if they have the otter box and cancel my preorder. Need to use my gift card on my account anyway.
My store did not call me. I called them and they were able to schedule my appointment for tomorrow anyhow.
i am fuming right now. spoke with store manager on monday and got my preorder as a silver premier member expecting it the next day. they said i wouldnt get it until today.
today, coworker goes in to pick it up and they wont let us pick it up until tomorrow! they say that the phone cant be activated until the actual launch date, but thats such BS. people have been activating and using their EVO3D for a couple days now! i spoke to one of the reps saying that premier customers get it 3 days ahead and its even on their website!

Ok, since several have already so eloquently described how you are completely mistaken and have no reason to be upset, let me explain.
Tuesday morning at midnight sprint.com started allowing orders on the web site for the phone, the people that have them now are those who ordered online after that time. The phone doesn't officially go on sale until 6/24. A pre-order simply guarantees that there will be one waiting there for you once the phone goes on sale to the general public. Most retailers are opening an hour early to fulfill pre-orders and let those individuals get their phones and accessories before the general sale. Therefore, unless you ordered from sprint.com, you have to wait till the 24th to get the phone. I pre-ordered on 5/25 and I still have to wait till tomorrow to get my phone.

If you purchase from a Sprint store or sprint.com you always have the option to charge to your account as long as you have sufficient room under your spending limit. If you ever do an insurance claim for a phone you have the same option, you can either pay Asurion the $100 or have it charged to your Sprint bill.

You guys sure are mean today because I'm sure many of you are familiar with the idea of getting the new toy on release date. It's not like I have a number in line or anything, there is a box with my name on it in the store and I can't even get it is why I am upset.

He probably doesn't want to risk losing his job for selling it early. Sprint themselves stated Premier members could order early on the website and most of the people who have it early did that. If I was a Sprint store manager and my best friend wanted it the day before and I know there was more than a 10% chance I'd lose my job over it I'd tell him to wait till the next day and I'd just hold his for him.

I don't think people are being mean but it's kinda obnoxious that you want it a day earlier because your name is on one, so are many other people and they have to wait till tomorrow. I ordered from amazon and have to wait till Tuesday. That's the price I pay for paying 470 for it.
I was not trying to come off as obnoxious, but I was upset that I couldn't pick it up because it can't be activated until tomorrow which is a total lie.

How is it a lie? The employees are under very strict orders not to activate them before hand. If they do they risk punishment, or termination. To me that says I can't activate a phone for you ahead of time.

It's not a lie. Sprint employees are not allowed to activate Evo 3Ds until the 24th regardless of your premier status. People who have the phone now are the ones that bought from the premier store on Tuesday.
I'm guessing this also means that if you have a defective Evo 3D, then you are SOL? Or can a manager make an exception?
There's a lot of difference between store getting a delivery of phones, and store allowing to sell a phone.
If you are in such rush to get it NOW NOW NOW, why didn't you order it online? I had mine in my hands yesterday.
well, I preordered my evo 3d w/ a sprint store several weeks ago, but wont be getting it till Monday. I am number four on the list but they are only getting two tomorrow. grrrrrr.....

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.

lol... yeah i think that's the deal at my sprint store. but thanks to the ideas posted by you guys.....
i called my local radio shack, the manager said be there 15 mins before open and he will hook me up. guaranteed. He said I have to cancel the sprint preorder though (feel guilty doing this because I really like the store I preordered it from)...
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.

is a corporate store any Sprint store that is only Sprint? Obviously it's not those guys at a kiosk in the mall... but a typical Sprint store should do right? Or do I need to find a special one?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yea, I'm probably going to swing by that one after work. Not looking forward to it. That Walmart is a giant clusterf. But a mans' gotta do, what a man who want his cellphones' gotta do.
EDIT: I see you are in Gaithersburg too. Are you going to go there as well, or do you have your phone already?
Picking mine up now. The woodlands, TX @242 location. They have several

Edit: ultimate fail job! Lady heard LTE and thought I meant LG Viper LTE. Battled 5 o'clock traffic with 2 young ones for nothing!
I just called my local walmart and they told me they don't sell Sprint phones in store.... so confused right now.

Called three Walmarts in my area and that's what they all said.
I got the last one at Walmart in Slidell la. Had to fight some traffic to get it. $171 with tax.

Some do, some don't, just depends. In Orlando most sell Sprint, but one or two don't.
