From the Sprint Community announcement;

 

While Sprint customers who pre-ordered their HTC EVO 4G LTE received their device last week, Sprint continues to wait for our full inventory from HTC.

 

We recently learned that HTC devices have been released by U.S. Customs. We expect shipments of HTC EVO 4G LTE to enter the U.S. in the next few days. An exact availability date for HTC EVO 4G LTE will be communicated as soon as possible.

 

We’ll continue updating this post as we have new information to share.

 

Thank you everybody for your interest and continued patience.

I am sorry that you feel left in the dark. But, honestly, if you did not place a preorder, then you really have no standing in the matter, hence no reasonable cause for complaint.   As for your exp

To use one of my favorite phrases of late, we definitely have a "first world problem" on our hands. The $200 high definition microcomputer phone that some people want to replace their current microco

None of us really should be complaining. We are all victims. Including Sprint. And of course, that is my opinion.   Robert via Kindle Fire using Forum Runner

I am a bit shocked. No news from Robert or ISN, all over the internet is the news that all HTC phones have been released by US Customs. Now how quick will they hit stores. Guess?

I'm not surprised that Robert hasn't posted anything. Dude has a life and a job other than updating this site. Also that's not really breaking news. We knew it was just a matter of time for all the devices to get released. All this information does is get everyone in a tizzy again about when it's coming to a store near them.

I too stopped by my local (non corporate store) that opened up recently. There was a large desk type display with more shelving behind it that was empty. Every other one in the store had display phones on them. The store reps reported that have a truck arriving tomorrow (Tuesday) and hope the new EVO4gLTE will be on it. The way the said though made me think they were fully expecting them to be on the truck. They also broke out in a huge grin when I mentioned June 1st being the rumored new launch date. We will see. Could be more BS but, hopefully not.

 

The truck they swore would be there on Tuesday didn't show up. Amazing how that happens.

It is true that I am extremely busy at work at the moment. And the gravity of the story wasn't worth covering, IMO. I would just be regurgitating what other news stories are saying. Unless I have some sort of info internally from Sprint, or have something more to offer in my coverage, I won't post an article about it.

From the above link;

 

Sprint will begin selling HTC EVO 4G LTE for $199.99 in most retail channels (including www.sprint.com and 1-800-SPRINT1) this Saturday, June 2.

 

I highlighted the above word. Please sir; please ma'am; if it is not available in your particular retail channel don't say that Sprint deceived you again and is screwing you out of access to your new phone. Thank you.

You might have better luck asking to speak to whoever manages the mobile dept. My experience is that there is usually one guy/gal that is way more knowledgeable than the rest of the salespeople.

Has anybody had any luck about calling best buy? Mine still gave me the story about the customs holding them up.

At least you get to talk to someone. I call the Best Buy in Daytona and get hung up on, or they answer, transfer me to the Mobile department, and then I get hung up on after the phone rings 10+ times.

For all that do not have the phone like me or who pre-ordered from BB last weekend like me;

Just be the first in line at your local BB Saturday morning & there will be no wondering. Unless I get an email from BB today or tomorrow that I can go pick up my phone. I will be #1 in line for the doors at BB on Saturday morning. I will get home and enjoy setting up all my stuff.

 

I do have a technical question; is there any way to not lose data from games & other apps when switching phones. Each time I have had to switch phones (got a Photon & it has been a return for a new one syndrome), any progress in games & apps have been lost even though I stuck the same sd card into the new phone...thanks.

Titanium backup fixes that issue.

Why would I need to get there early? If you are on the list they will apply the shipment to the pre orders

So I work in a Sprint Corporate store. and we learned today that the Corporate stores will be receiving 10 phones for a Saturday in store launch. I verified this buy looking up our stores open shipments. bare in mine that we have not had a single phone in our inventory yet even for a display. and the phone is to take up 2 spots which gives stores 8 available phones to sell on saturday.

Ouch. Talk about short inventory.

Unfortunately that was not true for all stores. Mine didn't have my order yet.

 

Based on my experience when I went to pick up mine, I'm convinced that stores were having issues with pre-orders/reservations not showing up in the system yet the device is actually in the cabinet with the customer's pre-order paperwork wrapped around it. Unfortunately, that doesn't do anything to help folks today since they won't be fulfilling any orders until Saturday.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
