If they are shipping this evening, when does Best Buy get them?

**Judynnnn** · 05-22-2012, 11:09 AM

Did anyone get a email about the phone being on back order?

I didn't receive any emails from BB, still waiting. Hopefully before Saturday we get our Evos. BB is waiting for Sprint to announce the new launch date to give out the Evos. I think BB already has them but don't got the word to sell. This is beyond annoying. These companies need to speed things up.

No. Did you order it online?

Just chatted online with a BB rep. He said that Sprint.com unofficially stated a launch date of Thursday, if you preordered you would receive an email when your device was ready to be picked up in store or shipped, and that they would have the phones the same day as Sprint. All for what that is worth. Seems like to me the online BB reps are much more knowledgeable than the in-store ones.

Looks like we're all going to know within 3-4 hours.

Have talked to the Sprint person that handles the Best Buys for the region a few times and also with the Sprint Store people (non-corporate) in town and the impression I keep getting is that Sprint is more worried about BB than their own affiliated stores. Sprint employes constantly pissed at how BB always seems to be the priority.

I care! My OG EVO must've been certain of the May 18 date, because since Friday it has been behaving badly. Chewing through the battery, won't charge through the micro-USB port... If I didn't have a spare battery with a SEIDIO charger, I'd be without a phone!

Hmm. Another reason to be concerned about the non-replaceable battery in the EVOLTE. If the port connection gets worn out there....

My Prē was the same way. Now I'm stuck to a Touch Pro2 running the slowest operating system in history. I'm just ready for these guessing games to be over with.

I preordered from sprint and best buy, and I got an email from sprint saying it will be ready to be picked up on the 23rd which is tomorrow. Everything is quiet from best buy though.

**aviatordoc** · 05-22-2012, 01:18 PM

What happened to ISN? he was going to get bak with intel on when BB would have it.

He went to lunch, he won't have any info until late in the afternoon like yesterday news about the evo clearing customs

**noah2383** · 05-22-2012, 01:22 PM

Last thing pertaining to 3rd party retailers.

Lunchtime! As usual, nothing productive from the AM xcpt boredom. Should know by the afternoon update call re: official launchday/3rd pty

**UNSCleric** · 05-22-2012, 01:29 PM

Why does Sprint not get anything done until like 4pm central?

I did. I pre ordered Sunday. I got that email Monday morning......well before it was announced that the evo cleared customs.

**UNSCleric** · 05-22-2012, 03:15 PM

Yesterday at this time they were 45 minutes into the launch update conference call. I wonder if it started at the same time today. I have no idea why it's taking so long to get any information on what should be such a big launch for Sprint, or even Best Buy. Both of them need the business.

**kbp08tls** · 05-22-2012, 03:19 PM

I preordered from Best Buy on Sunday as well. I got three emails all within 30 minutes of ordering:
1. Your preorder has been received
2. Preorder agreement
3. Item Backordered

Nothing since then. I'm keeping fingers crossed for Thursday, but will be just as happy with Friday or Saturday. Sunday will be pushing it though

That is the exact order that I got. I'm really hoping for this on Friday, I get paid, and I graduate high school, this has got to be the best week of my life haha

I'm honestly quickly getting pissed off right now. There is no way in hell Sprint or Best Buy don't know when these phones will be in at this point. I think even ISN is holding stuff back at this point. It's just impossible for nobody to know anything if the phones truly did get released yesterday. This isn't the 1800's or something, it's 2012 and it's a simple shipment of phones, some to people and some to Sprint stores and some to a couple big warehouses for Best Buy and Radio Shack.

The silence on this issue has become infuriating at this point. I thought this kind of garbage was finally over yesterday. The goal line for the end of this ridiculousness has moved over and over and over again and now here we are on Tuesday the 22nd, past 5pm, and still "no one knows anything".

****ing RIDICULOUS.
