So to give an update...
I called the Sprint store.. asked any evo's available? The guy says yep a shipment came in. He said you better hurry if you want one!!!!. So I flew out the door with my son!
I get there at 10:20. store opens at 10:00. There were 30 people there!!!! my heart about sank... but this store you have to check in and get on the appt list. Some people did not do that.
So after 35 minutes of waiting... My name is called!!! cute girl goes how can I help you? I was like if you have an evo I want it... she checks... heart pounding after playing with the floor model for 25minutes... she goes yep I have one!!! I said sold!!!
She even transferred all my data/contacts from my curve to the evo. That was nice.
I have not bought a phone in a Sprint store in a long long time. I must say they have really changed how they treat the customer... in a very good way! Still wish I. didn't have to do the ma in rebate.... but to not have to wait for if. I will live.
I have been doing the happy dance all day long. Wife thinks I am nuts. I love this phone. It is so Damn fast!! I am getting very decent at the keyboard. My thumbs/hands are big too. I can actually type better than I did on my blackbery!
Oh yeah forgot to say the spent store I went to said... they are not doing a waiting list a anymore... it's first come first serve... so anyone looking for an evo should call around.
Right now I am one happy evo owner!!
I thought you wanted the white one? To me the color doesn't matter one bit. I usually am not the type of person that puts a case on his phone, but with the Evo I feel that I have to because of the camera getting scratched up if you don't. By the way, the iPhone screen is 3.5" still, not 3.7", and to me, it looks tiny. My friend has an iPhone 4, and yeah, the screen is nice and clear, but it's not like the Evo has a blurry mess of a screen. Most people that buy an Evo will have upgraded from a phone with much lower resolution, so when going to an Evo, if anything, you'll get blown away by how nice it looks compared to whatever your old low res screen had to offer. Then when you see an iPhone 4 you will probably do two things:
1. Say "omg that thing is small"
2. Wonder what all the hoopla with the high res screen is about
I just had to "work" on two iPhone 3GS's and the browser that I used to admire, now looked like fuzzy crap in comparison.
Either way, congrats on your new Evo, and don't forget to cancel your order at Best Buy.
