HTC evo to go on pre-order on april 16th???

I'll bite. How long after release did it take to get the device?

I'm thinking I WILL do a pre-order. If the device is limited, like the Pre was, it will take some time after the initial release for the device to be available.
Now if they just ignore the pre-order and sell to people walking in the door it's wrong.

So if your not doing a pre-order how will you be getting your phone on launch day?
Besides it seems to me you could pre-order then camp out, use the gift card for the phone and when you get your call pass it to the next guy.

Still a lot of question like where this is going to be sold on launch day.
If it's in 4G areas 1st everything is going to be totally different for most people including me.

When I pre-ordered my Hero I was able to pick it up before the official release. Best Buy worked some sort of deal with Sprint for a pre-release release. Never had a problem with pre-ordering.
