So I've been calling my local sprint store everyday for two weeks trying to find out about a release date and finally got some information today. The young lady who answered the phone informed me that the phone will release on June 4 and will be on a first come first serve basis. I recently read an online article that stated that sprint was in fact placing pre-orders, but the young lady said that was not the case. If someone can confirm the date with their local sprint store that would be sweet.
