I'm here from the inc forums. Semi-beginning developer. My inc died about a month ago, and I'm dying for this badboy. Can't wait to see how everything goes with this thing.
Will pick it up the first day available.
right here! although my store might get it the 15th so i may have to wait a day.
I absolutely cannot wait. I am finally switching to Verizon from us cellular. I bought a desire on us cellular thinking it would get development like the Inc or the GSM desire and it has pretty much received no attention from devs and still hasn't had kernel source for froyo released by htc. I am excited to get a phone that will be supported with updates from both devs here and htc that will keep this phone fun for more than 5 months.
Ill be there at 9am, morning of the 14th!
Ditching this bionic as soon as I get my hands on the Rezound.
I love this awesome array of people and developers coming here. Plus it feels a lot like home with the amount of Incredible users coming here. This is awesome I have to wait a month to actually get it though
My upgrade isn't until January so I'll have to wait... hopefully its fully rooted by then! Get to work devs!

Been waiting to upgrade since February 28th...I'm picking up this beast on the day of.
Can't wait to go get it!!!

I am getting it Monday! As much as it pains me to go into that side of town during Holiday shopping madness. This is such a better deal than the Razr and the Nexus being that is comes with the headphones and such a badass screen! I wish it had HDMI though.
I'll be getting it at the end of December, when my upgrade becomes available.

It does have HDMI. You have to buy an adapter to fit the micro usb port, but it has HDMI capability.
I'll be there at 9am on the 14th too. I can't wait to ditch AT&T for good.
I'll be getting mine in the afternoon. Hope they still have one in stock by then...

Heh me too, just returned my skyrocket tonight. Not a bad phone but the screen res at 4.5" wasn't that good and it just feel cheap and plasticy. The new Vivid is nice but the specs on the rezound are awesome, I won't have to miss my iphone retina display.
I will be! Was wondering, can we pre-order it online and get that "online only" discount

Nope, I called yesterday for some account/bill questions they said it will be released Monday and then you can order it online or over the phone, but "free" shipping is 2 days, and overnight is $13. In other words, go to the store get it day 1, and save the $$. Unless you live 100 miles from a store and/or drive a gas guzzler like me.
Does anyone know if there is any way possible to beg them for an early upgrade? I'm due in January but I'm having a hard time waiting.

Just call and ask, all they can do is say no. Tell them you would hate to leave vzw, etc,etc.
just thought id share this
they updated the order status
Thanks for pre-ordering. You are one step closer to getting your phone. Keep an eye out for a shipping email with your tracking information. We will do our best to get it to you before others get a glimpse on Friday, May 18. For questions, visit sprint.com/preorder.

lets hope we get it before the 18th
That would be fantastic. Not $80 worth of fantastic though (difference between sprint and wirefly).
Keeping my fingers crossed.

Awesome! Hopefully they ship this week.
Eh this is kinda bleh...
I pre-ordered from sprint and called them about 8 times trying to cancel so i could pre order from wirefly. ALL of them said i cant, only until its ABOUT to ship out then i can cancel it...
6 out of 8 of them kept saying how they dont have a date but its getting to the warehouse to be packaged on may 16th.
I doubt we will get it before the 18th. It will prob ship the 16th and come 2 days later in the mail on the 18th. =/
sorry to be a Debby downer!
Got 2 preordered. Would be awesome if they come this week.
lol, Sprint's order status message changes like 4 times a day. This must be some kind of running gag they have going at their office...
When I called to confirm my ID for my order on Monday, he said preorders would be guaranteed delivery the day of or 1 day before the release date (depending on location). This seems to fall in line with that so I'm happy
who knows with them, just talked to my friend at the corp store on the campus and she said this to me
"Pre-order gets you out of the hassle in the store and waiting. That's about it."
damn, well guess ill just hope it comes in sooner than later
Yea, I had gone into Sprint to talk to them about it and what they had said was it would arrive one day before or on the release day. However, with the iPhone 4s, they had so many pre-orders that they had arrived one day after launch day, so we will just have to wait and see.
With the Galaxy Nexus, it launched on a Sunday, and people had them in hand on Friday and Saturday. They usually do a pretty good job of trying to get them out before the official release date.
I know Best Buy and a couple other 3rd party retailers said they weren't going to release before the 18th, but I don't mind the wait. It'll give me a few more days with my EVO before I turn it into a dev phone

I am curious about this too. What i really want to know is if they will leave the package if I am not home at delivery. I would hate for it to get sent to a distribution center with weird hours and delay getting my hands on this thing.
Anyone ask sprint about this? I may call and ask a few questions if nobody did already.

That's funny. I am on the phone with them right now and the guy told me they are shipping with UPS.
Also told me that they will leave the box at the door if you are not home.
Of course take it fwiw with these reps.

No problem. Also FYI while I was on the phone with Sprint I asked about my activation fee and he initially said that I would have to pay it. I explained that I ordered through sprint even though I could have gotten the phone much cheaper through a 3rd party and I would appreciate it if they would wave the fee to help offset the cost difference. He put me on hold for 1 minute and said the activation fee has been waved.
When I pre-ordered with Sprint, all I had to pay for, besides the phone, was shipping. No sales tax and no activation fee. The only thing that upset me was they wouldn't let me upgrade my line. I'm eligible 6/1, from when I bought my 3D. They wanted me to pay full price or wait. I then told I'd upgrade another line. I was looking at my account on line and told then the phone number for my Airave. He checked the eligibility and congratulated me. I couldn't believe it.

Sprint's warehouse and shipping are all managed by UPS. Their warehouse is literally at the end of the runway where the plane takes off. My Evo 3d preorder shipped at 12:30 am and I received it the same day it went on the plane. There is a video on UPS's website about this.

Many people who pre ordered the EVO 3D received the phone before release date. I remember being jealous and wishing I ordered through sprint instead of best buy. I don't see why the LTE would be any different. I'm planning/hoping to receive the phone next Wednesday or Thursday as they typically do overnight shipping.
So with the LTEVO pretty much delayed indefinitely, are you going to cancel your preorder or just wait it out?
im still deciding
gonna give it until friday to decide
Idk why anyone would cancel. Stuff happens.
No point in cancelling for me. There is no better phone on the horizon. Oh well, waiting I will be then.
Nope.
This is still the best bang for your buck phone right now. Underwhelmed by the SGIII. We didn't even think this phone would be out until June. I see no reason.
If you preordered from a reseller that gave you a discount for preordering, there's probably no reason to cancel unless you are changing your mind on the device altogether and getting something else right now.
If you are still sticking to the HTC ONE X or EVO LTE then you might risk losing the $$$ discount from the reseller preorders. No guarantee that the resellers will still offer below sprint's $199 after release. If you're ordering from amazon, you're still getting some freebies, and Best Buy has those tradein deals going on.
I finally was able to pinpoint that feeling I have right now. I knew it felt familiar.
This is like when you are at an amusement park and you get on that long ass line to ride the mega-coaster, you are only a few cars away from getting on the ride, when the operator tells you that the coaster is being closed for an indefinite amount of time.
"What do I do, do I wait? Get off the line?" You know the minute you get off the line, the ride will start up again and frustration will set in. But I really want to ride this ride and have a great spot.
I still want this phone, and since I've already been billed won't have to worry about coming up with the cash when an ever better one becomes available. While the delay is annoying, it will be a nice surprise when it finally makes it here.
Yeah I really want this phone I am waiting it out

Still have my OG Evo. It'll give Sprint time to rollout LTE to the NY Metro area. So I get to enjoy WiMax a bit longer.

I have the phone on reserve at my local Sprint store as a favor from the employee who works there. I also did an "official" pre-order at Best Buy Mobile. While Best Buy would be cheaper for me, at this stage in the game, I would probably take it from where I could get it.
Due to the fact I haven't had to put any money down at either location, there's no reason for me to cancel. It's just a test of patience for me at this point, since the T-Mobile contract I've been bound to expired last week, and I would have loved to have new service and a new phone sooner rather than later.

Then it becomes an issue as my OG EVO is doa. I am in need of a phone and the timing for this one was perfect. If and when we learn of the new date I will make a decision, hell I don't want to mess with a 'fixed' on either, just want a new freaking phone.
If this delay drags on for weeks, it might be Nexus time for me. I am without right now!
Sucks...
HTC EVO 4G LTE - DELAY
HTC shared this statement regarding the HTC EVO 4G LTE: “The US availability of HTC One X and HTC EVO 4G LTE has been delayed due to a standard U.S. Customs review of shipments that is required after an ITC exclusion order. We believe we are in compliance with the ruling and HTC is working closely with Customs to secure approval. HTC One X and HTC EVO 4G LTE have both received enthusiastic support and we appreciate customers patience as we work to get these products into their hands as soon as possible.”

HTC is working to resolve this issue and appreciates your patience as they work to get products into Sprint channels.

I hope we get definitive news by the latest Monday, as in a definitive launch date. If we don't get one by then, I don't know how long I'll be able to wait.
Nope although it sucks not getting it soon like we thought but I can live without for how ever long it takes and besides that its one of the best phones out there imho...Still rocking the EVO 4g with all the awesome development.

What exactly is the utility in cancelling your preorder?
I just bought and received the One Max yesterday. The night before It came in the mail, I noticed the 2014 M8 is coming out next week. My big dilemma is should I keep the Max or send it back and get the M8 since I have the 14 day return policy? The screen size of the Max is great and all, but the new M8 is going to be a nice middle ground between the One and the Max. Next is the upgraded internals of the M8 will be updated, but do you think it will be that much of a difference? And last is price. I just paid $200 with a 2 year Verizon contract and would hate for the price to drop next week when the M8 comes out and the M8 end up at or around the same price I just paid for an"older" device. Ideas?

Get dat M8!! Much better hardware and software!
I read in one of the release date articles that Verizon and HTC were aware of the mistake they made with the HTC One, and wouldn't make the same mistake. Also, leaks of the M8 with the Verizon logo on it makes people think it will release close to the 25th release date. It's a gamble but if I miss the 14 day return policy then I'm stuck with the max for 2 years. For all you Max owners, is the max going to be up to par for another 2 years in regards to hardware?
We are due to get kit kat anytime now... Verizon is bloating up the rom with garbage as we speak.
The HTC ONE.. ONE MAX.. AND ALL NEW ONE(M8) will receive updates for 2 years.

According to Droid-Life and Phone Arena, Verizon has released a statement claiming they will have preorders for the HTC 10 on April 29th. They will also have the phones available in store for demo on that date.
Verizon will start preorders for the HTC 10 on April 29. In addition, Verizon Wireless stores will host exclusive in-store previews on April 29 to give consumers and media a hands-on look at the HTC 10. Verizon will be the first wireless carrier to offer the HTC 10.

Actually is not bad at all, went to Verizon and I am very iimpresse!! Pre-ordered 2 of them. Can't wait until next week to play with it!
I am keeping my pre-order for the unlocked version.
Chatted with two representatives on the 13th who both said the unlocked version will work with Verizon, so I pre-ordered then and there. Talk about the unlocked version NOT working with Verizon had me concerned, and now that the pre-order for Verizon is up I thought I'd contact them through phone and check to see if I can switch my pre-order to the Verizon version.
Rep tells me I'd have to cancel my pre-order and place my pre-order for the Verizon version, I tell her my main concern was that the unlocked version wouldn't work with Verizon. She said no, it should definitely work with Verizon....
I am just going to wait and see. Worse comes to worst, I'll just return it and pick one up from the Verizon store at that point.

Completely agree with this. I looked at some of the main "issues" that reviewers complained about and they were SO overblown.
The screen looked fantastic from all angles. Didn't see any pink hue from the side. Camera focus was lightening quick. Maybe it isn't quite as fast as S7, but nothing you'd notice in real world use.
Only thing I was completely disappointed with was the speaker. Not only was it not loud, but it didn't sound impressive in the slightest. For a phone with separates, it did not sound as bassy as ONE speaker on my M8, and I'm fairly certain if I disabled one speaker on my M8 it would STILL be louder than the 10. Highly disappointed on that front. Hoping that I can tweak it with software and push at least a little bit more volume without distorting.
