Shipping notification....Who's first?

[bbrammeier]

BTW, the fleshlight I got instead of the EVO just isn't satisfying me as much as I think the phone would. =)

Hey, at least you have something to entertain you while you wait...

LOL, also the language used for that status is far from professional... It was a decent attempt to troll though...

Come on, have you been following the status updates on the orders?!? Language "far from professional" is much more indicative of a true statement from Sprint and not the other way around. Just saying...

 

[Mikey47]

Unless you were guaranteed (in writing or via phone call) to have the phone before Friday, I see no reason to be upset.

Well, not to feed the flames, but what exactly does this ad on Sprint's own homepage say?

Maybe I'm too much of a literalist, but to me "get it before others get a glimpse" means that I would get it BEFORE May 18th.

Oh and BTW, that was taken from the Sprint.com main page just seconds ago, and no, no photoshopping was done...

Granted, even with that, their www.sprint.com/preorder page has always said this: "We know you are dying to get your hands on your new device. And when you pre-order one, we'll do our best to get it to you before others get a glimpse. During the pre-order period, we will send you a shipping email and tracking number before your order has shipped."

So, Sprint can't even give the same message on two different web pages, must less from two different CS reps.

wirefly said my device won't ship for 2-3 weeks after the release date. I knew the 119.99+free bluetooth was too good to be true. Kinda of a bait and switch if you ask me.

I understand what the website was saying,but today is only Monday and some people are fired up to the max (well even last week people were getting upset because they didn't have any tracking info). If Wednesday/Thursday come and no info was received,then yes, I'd start getting very upset then....not 5-10 days out. It's funny reading some of these posts, I will admit that, but really, I hope Sprint doesn't drop the ball with all you guys/girls who have preordered the phone. It would suck for a Best Buy EVO 4G LTE buyer like me to post stuff about my new phone if I had it on Friday before some of you preorderers.

Just saw my shipped notification from WireFly. So huzzah, and/or boom.

Edit: D'OH... never mind. It was a notification of an impending notification. Way to prey upon my bated breath, WireFly. *shaking fist angrily*

I would cancel Asap and go to a local store...or radio shack.....

 

[zchoate]

I spoke to sprint this afternoon and they said it'd be shipping tmw and be arriving before Thursday depending on where you are. If its shipping from Kentucky it'll be on my doorstep Wednesday.

 

[HeavyTRAFFIK]

I preordered mine from Amazon. I'm not holding my breath for a ship date. Who knows how many hoops my phone will have to jump through until its in my hot lil hands...

 

[luimoran]

I keep getting all these useless emails from my boss and some clients, but no shipping info email. *sigh*

 

[coljalo]

Haha, everyone stop posting, you're making me crazy. It's like waiting for Christmas morning..

 

[adck9d]

Sadly, I reserved mine from best buy to take advantage of the $50 Gift card option. So I wont know until I get the notification from bestbuy.com

Me too, and I live in Louisville so I may have gotten mine tomorrow or Wednesday. LOL... I did call Best Buy and ask if they were setting up appointments and the guy said that management was discussing it....

Im pissed I feel I should have just went to the local store as I did with my palm pre and my evo...this preorder stuff is pissing me off

 

[tprevett]

I really am jonesing.. I've been stuck with a sprint palm pixi plus for the past week and a half while I'm waiting for my EVO...(returned galaxy nexus, and all I had left was daughters old pixi) I can feel my manliness being sucked away more and more every time I get a text message on this thing. (No pun intended)..
I can't wait for my sick day this week, now if sprint would just tell me when I am taking it...

I would say that you get the "I need it desperately" award. Rockin a Pixi as a daily driver=NOT cool at all.

Sent from my EVO 4G using Android Central Forums.

Been using the LG LX370 for the past 3 weeks, probably worse than the pixi....

I've been stuck using this god awful 3D

Do you ever use the 3D function on it, or was it just a gimmick?
