Thanks jcl,

I must admit its a pleasant surprise to get it 3 days before I was expecting it.

got mine the day it came out without a pre-order gotta be quicker on the trigger! on a helpful note keep searching ebay and craigslist you said 500$ as a blanket price all you need is one Evo good sir so therefore all you need is to fine that one that is not 500 but maybe cheaper and more reasonable! keep looking!

Seems like lterrian and I are in the same boat. I have the same order date as you (8/13) and its still being processed. Although I'm feeling a little unlucky because I just got a postcard from Sprint saying my order is on backorder and that if its not fulfilled in 30 days it will be canceled unless I call.

More great news. Did you order through Art as well? I'm beginning to think I'll never get this phone. What a pain. How about you lterrian? Did you get any good news?

I ordered on 8/16 through a corporate rep, shows processing with no tracking #. I get a call from Best Buy stating that my pre-order is in (back up plan, took them 1 week to get them in). I called Sprint to cancel the order, their order support team stated I CAN'T since it's already in "fulfillment status" even though they have no stock and have no clue when they will get it in. Can you believe that? Oh, btw, I got that very same postcard this morning in the mail and read it to them verbatim today. Got NOWHERE with them. Good luck trying to cancel, can't even if you wanted to, at least if you wanted to get your upgrade eligibility put back on your account if that's how you ordered in the first place (as it was mine).

Wow. Yeah I knew something was up when I called the number on the post card and I got a auto message saying that number is no longer used and to try again. I'm not going to cancel and I'll just wait it out. I got tired of calling the same stores every other day asking if they were in stock. Hope you get your situation taken care of.

Got my phone yesterday, I must admit I love the phone but the battery life is turrible. Is there something I need to do to make this thing last the whole day.

After doing all my reserch I knew going in it would be terrible so I bought a seidio 3500 mAh battery. It comes w a replacement backdoor and doubles my battery life. It sticks out a little in the back but it almost feels better because it feels more...substantial. also the additional protrusion protects the camera lens because the phone rests on the battery....

I love love love it ... the first day I had it I went from 7am - 7pm with heavy heavy usage

Trust me u wont regret it

I Love my Evo

What if you refused shipment, or didn't answer the door when UPS came? Will Sprint then cancel your oder?

What I've done is disable 4G, GPS, BT, and set to a low Display Brightness level to gain more battery time. I usually charge up when I can.
