[Q] Question about availability - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Hello,
Not sure if anyone will know this as it sounds like the bulk of you pre-ordered. I was not able to pre-order the HTC Evo 4g LTE and will be attempting to pick it up in a store over the next several days as they have now shipped.
Does anyone know if they will have phones available for purchase to those that didn't pre-order this week? (Best Buy, Radioshack, Sprint Store)

Yes all of them will carry it

Nobody that has preordered has received a tracking number or phone yet. Sprint has not announced a new launch date yet. Don't waste your time driving around looking for one until Sprint announces the new date and the date arrives.

someone posted in another thread that he was able to still pre order at his local best buy.

Best chance is also to go to a corporate store.
Good luck,

I would like to know release date also. I wanna just walk to the corporate storw and pick it up.

I ordered in store and was told an email would go out when it is ready for pick up. I called the store yesterday in the hopes that I could pick it up early... They have the Gnote but will not be releasing any until Sunday. ARGH!! I want my note. LOL
I did the preorder in store and I'm just waiting for Sunday
Order online...i calll so see i can pick up at store..order could not be change because they dont have any in stores.....most they could do is cancel my order from feb 5 and place a new one to have pick up at store...i woyld wait on ups i guesss....most likely stored already sold out

I really feel like just going to AT&T and getting it they said they have them and I could pick it up this was after I said I had a preorder with bestbuy
Best buy screw up because ups dont deliver on sundays so am not getting it this,weekend

I pre-ordered in the store and was originally told they would be available today but when I called they said they cant sell til sunday
I just came back from best buy. Said they've got their shipment in but I have to wait a couple hours until they're done with inventory.
First world problems.
Best Buy Mobile
Just came back from Best Buy Mobile they told me the shipment was in and my Note was there but I can't pick it up til Sunday wich I am fine with as long as I get my free case and $50 bucks off and don't have to wait til Tues
this doesn't make sense to me. AT&T and Best Buy get their phones at the same time yet we have to wait until after it's available at the stores and those who ordered from AT&T already got theirs. At least ship it so I get it the same day it's available at the store.
You people are acting like this is a huge surprise that they won't let you get it now. We have a CONTRACT with At&t to not sell until Sunday. You all knew this when You preordered. To the people complaining about them not shipping in Sunday, well looks like YOU made the dumb decision to not just go pick it up in stores.

you can't select to pick up at store for this order.
I'm glad I ordered through Best Buy... I just went to an AT&T store during lunch to ask if they have received any Notes in yet because I wanted to see one just to see how big it actually was. I haven't held one yet, just have seen pictures. I saw a rep walking toward me and I asked him if they had received any yet and he said no, to which I said that it surprised me... He then told me that it was supposed to be released this spring! I, rather sarcastically, replied that it was going to be released on Sunday, then walked out the door.
Really? You're supposed to support a device as big, and NOTEworthy (pun intended) as this and you don't even know when it's going to be released?!

If you preordered in store you pick up in store. Meaning you walk in at any time after we open on Sunday and just say hey I'm here to pick up my note. Easy

When I preordered mine I did it thru telesales. There Philippians call center is tuff to understand. It was weird cause I talked to 3 different people before I ordered and they all said I should be getting the phone the 17th or 18th. Even though sprints site has no official release date etched in HTML stone yet.

Hitting stores?

So now that they are shipping does anyone have any idea on when they will be for sale in stores?
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
Based on lot's of comments over, 25th seem possible but you may have to wait and see.
My pre-ordered phone comes in Thursday 24th. good luck
Nobody knows yet. And I've been watching everywhere for news of a release date like a a hawk. Wasn't able to pre-order so I'm hoping some shelves will be stocked...
Just got off the phone with sprint. Tales to 3 fifteenth reps and a customer resolution specialist ... they all said they do not have a in store release date and it wount be tomorrow.... I'm a SAD NOW...
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
Yeah its actually really sad..I pre ordered at a sprint corp. store and they dont have their shipment in and they do not see a shipment in route in their system.
Meanwhile Best Buy is getting them in stores and getting it to their customers as soon as they arrive..So much for me thinking going to a Sprint Corporate store was a good idea...How did they go from a May 18th release date(in store) to being back order and only fulfilling online pre orders....Prob. because they kept taking pre orders throught the beginning of all the FTC Bull S**t
So bestbuy going to have them in stores? I'll be calling first thing.

Radio Shack Preorders

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.

does anybody know if the Radio Shack stores are supposedly just getting enough EVOs in to cover preorders? I only ask, because yesterday I stopped at a RS, and they said nobody placed a preorder in their store, but yet put me 1st on the list for when they do get a shipment. guess I can only hope. thanks to everyone for providing info in this thread.

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 mine around mid day today they got my phone in and called me.I am happy now

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.

[Q] Where (and when) did you get your HTC One Max?

Hello,
I've had the MOST DIFFICULT time locating this phone. No one has them except Corporate Sprint (and Verizon) stores, at least in my area. It seems that Best Buy decided this is a phone they will NOT stock in stores...ever. I have called and visited over 5 Best Buy or Best Buy Mobile stores. None of them have it, and none were able to order it. I ordered it from BestBuy.com on release day, with a promised delivery by Monday, November 18. Well, I got an e-mail basically saying it was out of stock, and they expect to receive and ship orders within 30 days. I called Best Buy Mobile and spoke with a representative, who transferred me to a manger to find out more. The manager then called HTC for availability information, but HTC said "You need to call Best Buy." So then I called HTC and spoke with a representative, who transferred me to a manger. They called Best Buy to find out more information, and Best Buy said "You need to call HTC." PATHETIC. Between the two companies, SOMEBODY has to know when these phones will be in stock. And if they knew they didn't have any to begin with, they should have listed "backordered" on the website, and not "Add to cart."
Then today I called Wirefly.com and placed an order with them, and after giving all my information and going through all the steps with the representative, it turns out they, too are out of stock!! I opted for expedited shipping, in hopes to get it before Thanksgiving. But Wirefly.com says they "expect" to have more info on availability within 72 hours, but I don't trust them at all.
What is going on!? Is it just me, or is this the worst HTC product lunch ever!? I've heard (rumor) that they are trying to pull a card from Apple's deck, and create a false sense of demand. I'm a fan, and I've upgraded to a new HTC phone every year for the past 7 years, but I'm no idiot. I know HTC has neither the popularity nor the market share of Apple or Samsung. Not even close. So why is this phone so hard to acquire? For now, I'm going to leave both my BestBuy.com and Wirefly.com orders pending until one of them ships and they confirm it by sending a tracking number, then I'll cancel the other.
Side Note: For those wondering "Why don't you just buy it from the Sprint store?" I want to buy it from Best Buy because they have it for $250, plus they will give me a $50 gift card for upgrading through them, so that results in $200. Also, I like the advantages of the My BestBuy program. Wirefly had them for $200, which I would have been okay with getting it there. Sprint is asking $250, and they seem unwilling to match any of the others' offers. I'm going to try a different Sprint store tomorrow, where I know one of the managers. Maybe he will be willing to match Wirefly.com's offer. I'm tempted to order from Amazon.com, but I fear I will get the same "backorder" nightmare.
Any help is appreciated...
Yesterday,trade it,miss my note 2 ?
Where did you get it?
My local Verizon store had it in stock on launch day. I did get the same run around at Bestbuy before going to the VZW store. I too was a big fan of my note 2 and the jury is still out on the Max but I like it for now.

It's a Global Phone meaning it has the radios to do it. But knowing verizon it will be locked.
On a side note: Please don't post the same question on every thread in addition to the thread you already created. It's impolite.
I have seen this asked in several threads as well as a dedicated thread for it. If your not a noob then why aren't you using Search. You can always refer to your previous post about the same thing in the at&t thread.

If You like custom roms and mods no If You dont yes
Where? Sprint Store
When? The Saturday (1 or 2 days after it was released?)
How? I asked to be notified by email of when it was coming by way of the HTC One Max coming soon landing page for Sprint. They did, and the page asked if I wanted to check my upgrade eligibility, so I did, and qualified for the One Up promotion, but it involved setting up an appointment to go into a authorized store. This was on a Friday. I made the appointment for Saturday, and waited all of about 7 minutes and they started the ball rolling.
