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

What happens if purchase it at BB using an available upgrade on a family plan and ESN swap it to another line on the same plan?

When I bought my Pre I jumbled a few lines to get it and BB took care or everything.
When I bought a Pixi they said they could not do what I wanted, buy but activate on a different line, I had to do all the work when I got home. I'm gonna try to get BB to do the whole thing and have a back-up if they won't.

just a note: from what I understand if you buy from sprint, posted on their facebook, and do an ESN swap to another line you are not eligible for the rebate. It has to stay on the original line for a certain time.

I have a family plan with three phones. My wife and my son are due for upgrades and I am not. I asked 2 reps at Best Buy if I could order the Evo with my son's upgrade and have them just assign it to my line. They both said they would do that without a problem and charge the $199. They said sprint makes you wait 30 days if you purchase from them, but they were willing to do it at purchase.


I was just there last night at seven and asked to pre order and they said no could not do it yet. I missed it by 11 hours. WIll have to go back now.

I just preordered my Sprint Evo 4G today at Best Buy. It was at about 12:00 PM and the guy said that mine was the 3rd preorder. I like the idea of not having to mess with the rebate.

I went at 10am this morning (totally by accident on the time, I didnt realize BB didnt open til 10am and I just happened to be right there). The guy had no idea they were doing preorders today. I had to educate the staff, which was fricken awesome, since I'm a girl and none of those guys had a clue which end was up. But, got my preorder done, and I'll be there June 4...yea!

Wish they did online pre orders.. the nearest best buy is an hour away . The Shack is right around the corner from me though, hopefully they'll accept pre orders soon.

Just put my pre-order in at Best Buy

 

[gstill4]

i just got back home from pre-ordering it =)

 

[Andrew Ruffolo]

if this is true, ill do it. I live in Ft. Lauderdale, which isn't a 4G area, and isn't announced to be yet.

So does Best Buy honor the Sprint Primier agreement? Meaning that they'll give me the $200 price because I'm a primier customer for Sprint, and I won't have to pay an activation fee?

 

[Beardo76]

The Best Buy near my doesn't carry Sprint, so no pre-order there. Hopefully Radio Shack or Sprint themselves will be able to get me taken care of soon.

Radio Shak

The Radio Shack by my house said they have no idea if they are going to get the EVO. Same happend with the pre, radio shack and walmart did not get the phones for quite awhile after launch..

DON'T Pre-order to BestBuy?

I've been reading some things online where people adamantly say that you should not pre-order from BestBuy. Citing things like they will screw up the phone, etc. Do you all know what they are referring to? I assume if I pre-order from Best Buy I will pick up the phone in the box, sealed, just like I would at Sprint.

Any thoughts?

Subject title should be "Pre-order AT BestBuy"...not sure what I was thinking

 

[Fitz1015]

I think its all on the store you go to. ! have got 3 phones at best buy and never had one problem. now a friend when and got he palm pre at a BB and the lady dropped the phone and scratched the screen. just remember that if the phone is not 100% tell them you want a another one. he got a new pre. i just pre-ordered my EVO from BB

 

[neon8]

First preorder at my local Bestbuy this am. Rep said that likely all the phones they get will be taken with preorders with none available on launch day. Said this is what happened last year with Pre launch. So preorder or wait in line at sprint.

 

[IamTheCord]

Got my preorder taken care of and a gift in hand just waiting for the day? Should androidcentral put up a countdown clock?

 

[Illadelph83]

Preordered mine today, the woman didn't even know they were doing preorders today. Its funny that the release date is three days after my upgrade. It's like Sprint knew that early adopters of the Pre would be moving on to the EVO.
