I am keeping my PreOrder

**vhira82** · 05-16-2012, 11:13 PM

If it overnights and gets in Friday. I'll be tearing down doors on saturday.

**nickevans1979** · 05-17-2012, 07:19 AM

I'm keeping my preorder, though I don't know how much longer this Hero of mine will continue to function.

**Fubie** · 05-17-2012, 07:35 AM

I'll keep mine for the time being. If we don't have anything definite after the 25th I'll look at canceling my pre-order. I don't think Sprint needs and interest free loan any longer than that.

Does it matter where you pre ordered it from? I preordered mine from best buy, I wonder if I will be among the first to get theirs when it launches.

**TheJediGoddess** · 05-17-2012, 07:55 AM

I pre-ordered from Amazon and have not received anything. I called to see about the delay and they were still showing that it would ship out tomorrow and arrive on the 22nd. I tried explaining the customs situation and her response was "Well Amazon has not been told anything different so it will ship tomorrow." My response was um, ok... I won't hold my breath. Luckily Amazon doesn't charge you until the item is shipped so I'm not out of any money. I'll keep my pre-order for now.

First this is NOT Sprints fault. Why get pissed at them? They addressed the problem in a timely manner, I cannot understand why people would jump ship over that.

If you are THAT antsy to the point of switching carriers and cannot wait a week or two more for a phone you have other problems. i

i

My only question is I thought it was illegal to bill someone for a product before it ships, at least before a certain time. I am unsure.

I agree, its NOT Sprints fault. I would believe that they received assurances from HTC that the issue had been addressed. So, we have to wait and see how it all pans out.

Companies charge our CC before products ship all the time. It was also clearly stated during the Pre-order that we would be charged right away, before the product ships. Nothing was done in secret here.

Now if may be a different story if there is a shortage of product available and the pre-order units are not full-filled 1st and some phones are sold to people that have not already paid in full. I am not a lawyer but, the pre-order process implied that by charging your CC right away your where reserving the phone and therefore it could not be sold to someone else. I am sure that someone else may see this differently. I ran a landscape business for many years and I could not sell product to a customer, charge the customer, then not deliver the product but sell and delivery it to someone else.

As for myself, I am keeping my pre-order and will take a wait and see approach. As time goes by a reserve the right to change my mind.

I saw in the forum's that some of you paid the $45 early upgrade fee. Just thought I'd give you some fuel for your conversation with sprint. I attempted to do the same, but was told that the Purchasable early upgrades were "TARGETED" and I was not eligible. I was processed for an early upgrade for free. I'm not trying to gloat, just wanted to give you some ammuniton to get your money back.

Well, I paid the early upgrade fee without any qualms in order to get this phone. However, if this delay goes on into June you can bet that I will be asking for a portion of that money back. I bought it out specifically to upgrade to this device in May. I know this isn't Sprints fault, but I have no recourse against HTC directly.

**Xiphias** · 05-17-2012, 11:01 AM

It may very well be HTC's fault, but it could also be that they were told by Customs that everything was fine and then, with no warning, this happened. We really have no way of knowing whether HTC dropped the ball, or if Customs pulled a 180 at the last minute, or if this is the result of Apple interfering, or if it's all the illuminati...

And since all the customs stuff is under seal, we may never know the true answer. :-(

Bahahahaha. You poor Android suckas. One thing to be sure of - the iPhone 5 will be released by the time the Feds pull that ship loaded with garbage out of its Atlantic holding pattern. Long live Apple!

**mclarryjr** · 05-17-2012, 12:49 PM

bye bye Apple fan boy

HEHE yes the iPhone 5 that will basically be the iPhone 4 with features that should have been added two models prior but were held back by Apple just so that had something to call "new!"

Cracks me up. i

i

Don't get me wrong, the iPhone is a nice piece of hardware. Very well built. Its OS is just too restrictive and well..boring. Also when will you Appleheads get a larger screen than 3.5"? That is way too small. I am also looking forward to a duel core CPU phone. You guys have that in the works? i

**cloak.n.dagger** · 05-17-2012, 01:39 PM

Just got an email from Best Buy. Looks like they are communicating that the release date has been officially moved out to 5/23! No need to cancel, I can wait a few more days for a truely amazing phone! I can hear the continuous snapping of the camera now...

Susane: We do not have any Estimated Shipping date.
Customer: okay. do you know if preorders will be shipped out on or before launch date, whenever that is announced?
Susane: We will fulfill the order as soon as we are authorized to by Sprint and they will be shipped on a first in / first out basis.
Customer: okay. does wirefly have phones ready in stock to be shipped out when Sprint gives the okay, or is wirefly itself waiting for a shipment?

Customer: okay. can you tell me where my preorder stands on the first come first shipped line?
Susane: Unfortunately, I don't have the information as well.
Customer: okay. thank you

I'm still keeping my preorder through them because it's too big of a deal to pass up ($160 savings between the two lines, plus free blue tooth, plus free upgraded next day shipping), but this lack of information is pissing me off

Interesting result! I didn't pre-order EVO 4G, but I was interested in closely looking at device when it comes out. Surprisingly, many people are still patiently waiting for the releasing that was pushed to forever. I hope everything worked out well and see the device very soon.

So you paid $45 to upgrade a week early? I doubt you were eligible for an upgrade after the delayed release date.

All of you people that think you have been wronged by this and trying to get free stuff out of this really irritate me.

Incredible. If you look at the table and how much it cost to upgrade for you($45) you will see that there is a 4 month span for that price.

The price structured has been tweeked a bit since this came out, but you will get the idea.

I doubt a week or two would of pushed you into the 22 month/free upgrade.

I really hope sprint tells you off if you do call to try to get money back...
