HTC Evo 4G Best Buy Pre Sales Started TODAY!!!

[CeeDotSmith]

Heads up guys... I just put down the $50 deposit on my HTC Evo 4G through Best Buy 2 hours ago! Just started TODAY! Also... I talked to a Sprint Rep and she said the $10 mandatory 4G recurring charge will not be mandatory to those outside of a 4G coverage area.

I hope this wasnt just a specific Best Buy, and all Best buys.. Call in before you decide to go just to be sure.

So a salesrep, knows more than the spokesman for sprint? Mandatory EVO 4G Premium Data Charge

Where did I mention that it was a Sprint rep from a non-corporate store? This is what was told to me... I'm merely passing along what was expressed from a corporate Sprint sales rep.

Send me proof.

So is the pre order on officially, or did they just take your money and put you on some sort of list?

By the way, there seems to be quite a bit of confusion within Sprint as far as that 10 dollar charge goes. I called Sprint premier customer service, and the lady there was 100% sure that people that are not in a 4G area will not have to pay the 10 dollars extra. I told her to go back and double check with her supervisor. That took about 10 minutes, and when she came back, she said that he said the same thing.

Of course, after reading claims to the contrary I am pretty sure that every Evo owner is going to have to pay, but oh well, I am fine with it.

 

[MannyZ28]

Figures, and I have to go on a business trip and won't be back until Sunday..... grrr. I wonder if Pre ordering guarantees that you will have a phone on launch day?

Guys, I was teasing Roy specifically. Sorry I didn't mean to imply that I didn't believe pre orders weren't be taken.

 

[Complex Pants]

No harm, no foul. I was gonna post any. You just gave me something to quote!

 

[MannyZ28]

Do you guys think I lessen my chances of getting a phone on launch day if I don't pre order until Sunday? I am flying to Cali and won't be back until Sunday evening!

No. They normally have a deadline for pre-orders, past that deadline then things will matter. Otherwise, the purpose of the pre order is to let that store know the minimum number of phones they need in stock. That is all.

 

[Cory Streater]

Thanks Complex

Ok good, I think I feel better now, although they didn't tell us when the deadline for the Pre order is?

Cory, you gotta tell us, are you still lovin' the Incredible? We need reassurance that our Evos will never lag, and that everything with Sense and 2.1 is peachy, especially now that we are gonna pay 10 bones more a month!
