I am not going to call because they will think im crazy. I ordered my note at the best buy in Dickson City, PA. not sure if they got notes yet. I really hope they got my white one. they originally said they may not.
So, anyway, anyone know if there best buy did (or didn't) get notes and cases?

Called my BB Mobile store where I'd pre-ordered. They had received them but were adamant about Sunday hard sell date
I called Thursday, nothing, I called today, nothing. I went into the store tonight and they had a dummy one sitting out, first time I picked one up, felt good in the hands. My BB said they believe they will have them Sunday,
I called three best buys around the Chicago Land area and they each had only 2 white galaxy notes...did not ask for the blue. The 3 stores included the 1 that i placed my preorder at. I asked if i could pick it up but they said no that the phone will be released on sunday and to be there when the store opens.
My best buy has notes in. Went in to pick them up, but the rep had no idea what he was doing. He walked around the store for a good 30 minutes and came back and told us that they aren't releasing them until Sunday.
I got the email on Thursday that mine was ready to pick up. I called em, and I asked if I could pick it up. The chica did say mine was there but I had to wait until Sunday at 10am to pick it up.
I tried to explain to her that the internet doesn't lie and my email said I could pick it up. Then she had the gall to tell me the internet lies but that she wouldn't lie to me. I told her I had an exwife that lied to me all the time. She said she was different than all those other women. So I asked if she would marry me. Of course she wanted to go on a date first. I then asked if I took her on a date if I could pick up my note early. She still said no. Gaw

I wouldn't believe it. This is a HARD street date. If any of either sku get sold before Sunday it'll show up on the daily report and we get fined. I wouldn't count on finding someone dumb enough to break street nor would I want them losing their job because I'm impatient

Does anyone know how the release at the Sprint stores works? I went in yesterday to see where I am on the list and they said they could see my preorder, but they had no way of checking priority. This seems strange to me. They said they had about 90 people on the list, which also blew me away. Apparently I am supposed to show up as early as possible on the 24th (they are opening at 8am that day). This would mean that it's first come first serve on release day (as long as your name is on the list)??
Apparently they got about 45 Epics last year and had 140 preorders. Let's hope the E3D is more plentiful.
Maybe I should try to find a less popular store ????

Hmm i wasn't aware of that issue. I was under the understanding that if you pre-ordered, they would have one waiting for you on release date, although it makes sense if they can't adequately stock the store.
Hmmm... guess i'm going early!
I was first in line when the Evo came out and I plan to be first in line for the 3d. Can't wait!
my sprint store told me i was #3 on the 3d and #1 on the view lol. told me about a week before the release they would call me to set up an appointment on release day to pick it up.
I would like the answer to this as well since this is my first pre order...I was under the assumption i would get it on launch day..anyone who works at a retailer please chime in
Damn they should take regular peoples lifes into consideration , lol , i preordered may 20 something and i think im like # 5 on the list but if they skip me just because im no waiting outside , im probably not gonna get the phone. I dont even get out of work till 3:30 pm. Who really has it like that that they can just take off of work for a phone? lol come on

I dont think they can do that but what i got out of what the guy told me is that someone who preordered can do what you are saying.....so if they have 150 phones and 200 people preordered and you dont show up till the next day.......good luck basically lol
Basically the pre order works like this....once the pre order period ends...they get exactly the amount of evo3Ds to fill their order plus some extras for the slow ones who think they could juss walk up and get one...soo u dont have to wait in line...as long as ur name is on the list...but they will hold one for u untill 48 hrs...

You have to remember Sprint has already said there will be NO SHORTAGE of EVO 3D'S so everyone is thinking like when the evo came out and it is just not going to be that way.
Sprint already said they have been told there will be no shortage from HTC.

I hope that's true. I still find it hard to believe that they have 90 preorders for a phone that was kept secret for so long. I am not sleeping on the sidewalk or anything but I will stop in on my way to work. We'll find out in 2 weeks.

Best Buy will call you 2 days prior to make an appt to come in so no line waiting. The pre-order is good until Monday morning. Since Friday 24th is my anniversary, I'm getting it first thing Saturday.

I left the sprint store with the same impression..I asked him if I pre ordered there that i would def get my phone on launch day and he was Luke "if your here before we run out' so I was thinking what's the point of the pre order if that's the case..I never have pre ordered b4 so I'm not sure how it works..but I had a hard time getting my 4g even months after itaunched..it seemed like stores would get like 5 at a time and unless u walked in at the right time you were sol.

apparently the girl at the sprint store in NJ where i go said i was the 2nd person there
what is weird, is that they did not require me to put any money down as a preorder, she just put me on their list
she also told me that i was guaranteed that phone if i come to pick it up that day (which i will)
i am going to call them tomorrow again to verify with another employee....
I got my evo on the first day of launch without a pre order.. literally just walked up and got it. no line... then the evo just exploded like 2 days after., once people saw it and their geeky friends were showing it off.
this time from what i keep reading, sprint wont have a shortage. just walk up and buy it. i plan on doing the same.

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!

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 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.

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).

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.

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.
I'll just drink some cognac in the meantime to pass the time =)

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.
I ordered mines from bestbuy the only email I received was the first time I did the preorder
With Best Buy Mobile pre-orders, you will receive one email when you place the pre-order, and another on the day it is available for pick up (in this case, the 19th.) Then head on down to your store and pick up the phone! Make sure you grab the Geek Squad Black Tie Protection, and at least give the Buy Back program some consideration.
Even if you plan on keeping your phone all through the 2 years, you'd still get back $150 (based off the full retail price) when you go to trade it in. This comes on a Best Buy gift card, so you can use it anywhere throughout the store, INCLUDING on the purchase of your next phone!
Anyone have any theories on why the best buy date says 2/13 instead of 2/19?

thats probably the day THEY receive it. legally they cant give it to you until the 19th.
Does your order status from BB say that the case and phone are backordered? I hope I didn't preorder it too late to where I'll be delayed in receiving mine longer than the earlier orders.
You expecting them to magically ship your phone early?

Sometimes our computers show two dates. One is listed as an in-stock date, and the other is listed as a street date. This is commonly set to prevent someone from selling a phone/game/anything earlier than intended by the manufacturer.
Jimmer411, don't appreciate your sarcasm in that response.
I was just wondering if the other BB preorders are currently showing the same backordered status as mine is. There's about a one-week window where people have been placing their orders (my order being on the latter end), so it's not out of the question that BB has ran out of their allotment for their initial shipments.
I can also understand how since these are preorders (and therefore not in stock), that BB would therefore indicate the status of the item as on backorder until they're allowed to ship them out on or around the 17th.
Either way, I'm fine with whatever the outcome is and am not expecting any magical early shipment.

I wasn't responding to your post and I wasn't being sarcastic. BB and AT&T made it pretty clear when the phone would be shipped/sold. I wouldn't expect any email after the order confirmation until it ships or is canceled from lack of funds.
It actually isn't unheard of for preorders to ship/arrive a day or two early.
I wish you all the best of luck!

the wifey and i pre ordered our phones at the same time... my date says the 13th, hers says the 19th... she got the white one... weird? or are the white ones are shipping later?
Can we all be patient untill the end of the week. Just MONDAY guys. A long way to go.
I wonder if people would think I was weird if I show up at BB everyday this week to stroke the dummy Note and call it my precious.

I'm picking up in store, and my BB better have it there. I'll be waiting at the door at 11am on the 19th whether I get an email or not.

Same here. I will be there and I will be ready, and there's nothing no one can do about it. I probably won't even sleep the previous night tbh. Yeah, its that serious.

I will be mad as **** if it's not there first thing in the morning but knowing my luck I will get there 11am and some guy who knows nothing about the phone will come from a long night of drinking and partying and not know what the hell I'm talking about I say the best thing to do is call Saturday before closing and try to confirm that they got the shipment because if it ain't there Saturday night it ain't gonna magically appear overnight lol

Well, to be fair, you did decide to go with Best Buy. Not to be mean or anything, but honestly, don't you expect them to screw it up at this point?
Just when to my local Verizon store and they have note 2 in stock. Nice rep let me play with it. I notice multi windows options working. WiFi toggle missing from pull down notifications. Oh and the good part, Verizon logo on the button can be removed, it's just painted on the top, you can feel it was your fingernails.

Do they let you buy it and what state? Would prefer to buy it online to save on tax but WireFly price is higher than Verizon and Amazon doesn't carry it yet.
Verizon store in Portland Oregon, I told him I'll give him 300 dollars if you let me walk out of that door , he said price in computer is like 9999 dollars.

I called my local store and asked if they would be getting them in this week. The girl said that they were only taking pre-orders on it, and then put me on hold for about 5 minutes, after which she told me that they were launching tomorrow (Wednesday). I then made an appointment at 10:30 to get mine! I asked if they already had them in stock and she then checked this and said that they had 3 on hand.
If all goes well, I will have mine at about 11:00 tomorrow, but I have this feeling that I will be disappointed at the last minute (something won't go right and I will end up walking out empty handed and pissed off).
Only 3???
I hope its tomorrow. I want it. Anyway to call CS or anything and see?

I am in a pretty small market here. I was concerned about the possibility that they wouldn't have many, so I was trying to get an early appointment on Thursday. I never expected that they would tell me that launch was on Wednesday. I honestly think they are mistaken, and that the they won't be able to activate the phone or something (or won't be able to sell it to me).

I'd think it will be possible to activate it. Reviewers etc already have a while ago, and I doubt they did anything special to only let them activate it, since they seem to always have pretty good control over when people get the phones anyways. You might get lucky.
Welp guess I'll be going by my VZW store in the morning

Ditto. I think they've been plenty annoyed with me already asking when the launch date is and if they can reserve one for me (I can't pre-order and keep my Alltel phone online), so maybe they'll just shove one my way early. I called last morning and they said they were "getting them in" today. Whether or not they're available for purchase remains to be seen.
Update: They won't sell them today; going to have to wait until tomorrow.
Called a few stores n no store will sell them until tomorrow

Yeah, I don't think they're allowed to sell today. Probably get in a lot of trouble if they did.
It would be nice if they would make an exception for long time customers....
Will they possibly let us check them out in person first? Do they wait until tonight/tomorrow to put out the display unit or could they already be out?

As I expected, I got shot down when I showed up for my appointment. They got the dates mixed up so I wasted 45 minutes of my day.
I set up another appointment for when they open at 10 am Thursday.

He is correct , that feeling is etching not paint. Deep in here somewhere is a thread from a review who confirms its an etching and not paint.
