Anyone else get their Evo charged to their account due to Sprint's computer outage?

[kd0axs]

Just wondering if any other Sprint stores were doing this. Because of Sprint's computer problems, they did all the paperwork by hand and charged it to my account. I was in and out of the store in about 20 minutes without paying a dime out of pocket for my Evo. I thought that was a great effort on their part, sounds like other stores didn't want to deal with the hassle and were just turning people away.

20 minutes!!!!!!! I was at Best Buy for almost 2 hours! Thay had problems getting the phone activated and had to call Sprint. But I didnt mind because the lady let me play with the phone while I was waiting

RS @ 6am, out the door by 6:15am, by the time I reached the door gmail sync'd calendar & contacts. No issues

Oh yeah, and sprint was slow they said & hadn't figured out why yet but I was still done in 15min. I've had sprint put my new phone on the account but paid cash this time since it was RS & saved the $100

I didn't think they normally allowed it. I've never been able to do it before.

I requested mine to be charged to my account. It was no biggie. Sales rep chose BTA and it was done.

My Sprint store asked how I wanted to pay for it. Charge to account or pay now. I said charge to account. So my EVO and accessories were billed to the account.

In and out with a functioning EVO in about 20 minutes. They even transferred all my contacts while I was there.

I was kind of lucky. The guy at Sam's was a really cool evo guy and started downloading apps for me. It took like an hour plus because everything was crawling though.

Only at Sprint Stores.

I was in and out in <30 minutes from my Sprint store, got an update from Wells Fargo via email later that they pulled the money from my account, then noticed this weekend that the money is back in my account (!?)

I charged mine to my account because then when the bill is actually due to pay for it (mid July) I should have my rebate back and then not have to pay the extra $100 out of pocket only to wait for a check to get it back.
