I pre-ordered mine on Thursday the 13th. Best Buy. Gonna be a long few weeks!

I've never pre ordered a phone before. I know Radio Shack makes u buy a $50 GC. What are the requirements at Best buy?

I believe Best Buy does the same.

Paid $50 plus tax at Best Buy. Filled out an EVO form with my info. Got a GC good towards the phone price. Will pick it up on the 4th.

I too pre-ordered the Evo on the 13th. My name was first on the list

**brybry2#AC** · 05-15-2010, 10:47 PM

Pre ordered today at Best Buy. Seems like I just did this waiting game yesterday for the Palm Pre.

**Robd1** · 05-15-2010, 10:57 PM

Pre ordered yesterday @ Best buy, can't stand the wait. Lol

I pre-ordered at Best Buy too, but i didn't pay any tax, it was flat $50.00.

I am going to pre order at Best Buy on Monday when I get back from my business trip from California. My second line isn't eligible yet, so I am going to land up buying the second phone for retail price at Sprint, since it's supposed to be cheaper there than at Best Buy or Radio Shack.

We have less than 3 weeks to wait, that's the bad news, the good news is that this feels like christmas, or should I say the preparation time before christmas, because every day more and more info comes out, and hopefully soon we will get to see all the bloggers' video reviews of the phone to get us excited even more. Ah yes, new phone season, my second most favorite time of the year!

Went to one of the Best Buy's in my area and pre ordered the Evo on the 13th. Still new to the forums and looking forward to giving the Evo and Android a shot, as I am coming from the BlackBerry Tour.

Wow, you're in for a wild ride man. I have seen how bad of a web browser the Tour or Blackberrys in general have, and you will be in heaven when you browse the internet on the evo for the first time. I still compare Blackberrys to the Dos computer of the smartphone world.

**MNofsinger** · 05-15-2010, 11:56 PM

I have a Pre' and I preordered the Evo from Best Buy on the 13th. I was the 3rd person to preorder it at the Best Buy I went to.

I expect it to be quite a change going from the bb os to android. I had been on Windows Mobile for 2 years prior to switching over to the bb tour, and now this switch. My main things I am going to miss are the led indicator light and having it set to multi colors to indicate all the different messages, push email on all accounts, and bbm. Outside of those I am ready for a change and the Evo seem to be the right choice for that.

Pre-ordered on the 13th at Best Buy. I was the second person to do so in that particular store.

do they apply the 50 bucks first and tax you on 149.99 now or do they tax the whole 199 and then apply the gift card to the ~$216.xx because paying extra tax would suck. this is the first time ive ever paid $54.xx for a 50.00 gift card.

I already posted in another topic, they tried to do that to me (double tax) on BB, and I canceled it there and went to RS (they do not tax you on the gift card there)...
