Looks like EVO LTE launch back on...for May 23rd by Robert Herron
Sprint 4G Rollout Updates
Thursday, May 17, 2012 - 12:06 PM MDT

It appears Sprint is moving forward with a revised launch date of the EVO LTE on Wednesday, May 23rd.  Our source yesterday said that Sprint was working toward the 23rd.  The blog Inside Sprint Now is reporting that the 23rd appears to be a go.

In an e-mail to one of our Sprint sources for more information, he did confirm that May 23rd is being said internally, but he has no details about the specifics of the authorizations from Customs or the supply chain.  We will release more details with updated information about the EVO LTE deliveries as we know more.  However, S4GRU Members who purchased from Best Buy are starting to get updates about a May 23rd delivery.  Fingers crossed...

Source:  Inside Sprint Now, Sprint Internal Source

UPDATE 12:30 PM MDT:  Inside Sprint Now is reporting that they are working on shipping pre-orders earlier to arrive prior to the revised launch date of May 23rd.  Our source was unable to confirm that at the time of this update.

Robert has a very busy schedule this week so thats probably why he hasn't updated anything, in either case though the source link thats provided still takes you to the same page.

I just found a way to check to see if it is shipping. take your Sprint account and go to UPS.com and search with your account number in the reference part. It will pull up the tracking number and you can see your phone on its way :)

If you contact ecare, they usually will credit you back that charge.
