UPDATE: Some of our EVOs have cleared customs, but not entire shipment. Updating blog w/details in the next few minutes.

It looks like HTC loaded a US specific firmware on the One X and the Evo 4G LTE to avoid infringing on crApple's patent. Sucks we all have to wait while HTC convinces the court of this.

From ISN:

• ‘Pick and Pack’ has now been completed on ALL pre-orders, therefore cancellation of orders is no longer possible.
  
• HTC has a judicial hearing scheduled this week, and we should have clearance to ship shortly thereafter.
  
• Unofficially, we should be shipping no later than the first of next week, likely sooner.
  

who is ISN?

Edit: Never mind. My excitement has apparently made me an idiot.

Will this affect best buy and amazon pre-orders as well or just sprint?

I ordered mine from Bestbuy. The order page said it should be delivered between 5/11 and 5/16. Now they are just saying that its a pre-order. We'll have to see when they start rolling out.

Oh, And I wanted to share this with you guys: https://insidesprintnow.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/20120418_htc_evo_4g_lte_user_guide.pdf

Apple's marketing department is truly amazing and the way the average user speaks of them shows that. All that said I really wish that Apple would focus on innovation rather than trying to sue competitors out of the market.
