How are salespeople treating your Evo?

[EVO Navian]

The rep at RS was a little rough with it during set up. When he first opened the box I grabbed the EVO and he grabbed it back While we waited for Sprint reps over the phone (their system kept crashing during activation), the RS rep kept playing with it, I didn't mind. The rep was really nice and talkative so I wasn't too worried since he held it with 2 hands the entire time He put a ton of smudges and finger prints on it when he finally handed it over though, good thing I carry a lint cloth for sunglasses in my purse

You guys are being a little silly about the camera lense.

I bet it doesnt even scratch unless you happen to lay it on some grit and scoot it back and forth.

they were very gentle and careful with everyones Evo where i bought mine... best buy of Orange Park...

A shout out to my man SAM at 56th and LEX, NYC he was very cool and I enjoyed talking about the LAKERS game while we waited for the system which was a little slow.

the saleswoman @ bb was picking it up and putting it down, moving it a little forward out of habit... ON THE LENSE. I must have had some horrified look on my face.
When she got up I picked it up and looked at the lense then said something about it resting on the lense and examined and rubbed it.
I put it back down gently but I made sure she saw how careful I was and how I didnt put it back down on the desk surface.
She was VERY careful after that.

Holy ****... i'm not sure if you even know how ****ing hilarious your description read... if so then a special thanks and commendation.

The guy that sold me mine just put the battery in and turned it on and handed it to me. He figured I could handle it from there since I already had a Pre and a Moment

I tried to get my rep to activate it without taking it out of the box. He said it can't be done, took it out of the box, took off the stickers, and accidentally dropped it onto the counter!

My RS Rep was really cool, he was like... "I bet you want to open it," and handed it over. He was very gentle with it and let me play with it while the computers were screwing up.

 

[Mild Mannered Jones]

my rs rep is my boy. so he let me go without having to open the box or touch the phone or anything. Literally took two minutes.

[fonefanatic]

Wow, you remember her name...

I remember the name of the lady that helped me too. Her name was Jess and she was a PRO. She was extremely careful with my phone and very pleasent. Excellent buying process even know I had to wait almost 2 hours to get the phone activated

the salesman in fairfax activated my phone smoothly with no problems... he's super friendly. however when i asked if they can transfer my contacts from my palm centro to the htc evo and waited a while... i wondered whats taking them so long. so i get up from the waiting seat and looked over the counter i see a sprint lady playing with my phone...

 

[tndave]

That's pretty much the face I made! And that was after I was the first to pre-order at the store, the first person at the store this morning, yet the third person served. I thought I'd be patient and it shouldn't be more than 10 or 15 minutes, but I waited an hour and a half and then the geezer dropped my evo before I'd even touched it!
Oh well, still a magnificent device

 

[uh60james]

My rep installed the battery and immediately put it in the body glove case before doing anything else. He did handle the phone and go over some features real quick with me but apparently that's what they are supposed to do at a ready now store. Very good experience overall.

 

[freeza]

Man, it was whatever. I prefer to handle my own phones, but it wasn't anything too bad.

It's times like these I would have loved the phone to be released on a Thursday through telesales first

 

[PurpleGuitar]

The guys at Radio Shack were top notch for me. Mark was very gentle with my phone and didn't even take off any of the protectors -- he waited for me to do that. They tried to get me to buy a lot of accessories, but nothing too pushy. I had a great experience.

Let me know how you would react to what happened to me.

With the servers overloaded, my BBM associate kept running back and forth to different computers to see which one would let the upgrade go through. She was very polite but was obviously overwhelmed by the slow systems and growing line of irritated people who were 1 hour+ past their appointment. She booted up my phone and left the screen protector on and everything while she was clicking through the profile activation. While my sprint contracts were being printed on one computer, she quickly ran me over to another register so I could pay. When we returned back to the other counter, my phone was gone! She chaotically ran around the BBM area looking for it....and some customer peeled off the screen and camera protectors and was playing with it like it was a demo!!!!!!! My jaw dropped!

She snatched it away from him and apologized, but I was still a little shocked and irritated.

I have the BBM Manager's business card since he's the one that helped me with my pre-order and appointment...I'm still debating whether to send him an e-mail to bitch about what happened to my precious phone...

I initially went at my 12pm appt at BB and was told the system was backed up so I went back to work. When I got off at 4:30 I went back to BB and they said the systems were up! I didnt leave until almost 6pm because their system didnt show my account. I waited around while they worked it out with Sprint. When the girl that was helping me took out my phone she left all the protectors on which made me very happy. They did try to sell me some items but I didnt like my options so I went to a Sprint store where they had some options I did like. My phone has no issues and I'm loving it.

I really think that I would have demanded that they order another one right on spot. That is unexceptible for them to allow another customer remove the protection from your device.

I was annoyed when the RS associate took my screen guard off. But I kept my composure until he started playing like he was going to drop it. 2 inches minus-well be a mile when your talking about a camera lens (Especially one that is unremovable).
