I'm sitting on his neighbor across the streets roof with a sniper rifle and a laptop.

We never condone violence, but a sniper paint ball gun would not kill him....

When you pay money in THIS COUNTRY you don't get a excuse. You get what you paid for. If you don't like people a forum isn't a place to spend your time. For the record I'm a 28 yr old D-77 motor mechanic who loves HTC but did not pre-order this phone because I use Wimax everyday and need 4g but if I did pre order I'd tell Sprint to keep the200 and put it towards ETF and go to Verizon or AT&T who ALREADY HAS 4glte. A multibillion dollar corporation (HTC or sprint you choose) with a legal department full of lawyers who make at least double what I do should have foreseen this. Since when does a company with a legal department not keep up with current rulings and injunctions regarding said companys field of operations. A week after CITA this makes Sprint look like a joke. that $200 you guys paid for that phone I pay every month and for what. Crappy Wimax, the promise of a lte network that other carriers already have, a crappy 3g signal. Last I checked this was America and people can voice frustration. Again I didn't preorder this phone. But if that damn lte network was already up and running you can bet I would have, hence the reason I Watch this forum. And I'm not happy with sprint. when you pay $2400 a year on service plus an additional $400 or so on a new phone you can complain and ask for whatever the hell you want. You handle it your way and they'll deal with it in theirs. But if anyone wants to tell me this couldn't have been foreseen by either HTC or sprint I simply don't believe it. Even if the injunction was put into effect 2 days ago there is no legal ruling that can't be prepared for. The injunction didn't just drop out the sky. someone in some legal department should have been keeping Tabs on that case and someone at HTC should have had a contingency plan

I think you missed part of the point. I understand that people are frustrated with Sprint/HTC/whoever, but people that are trying to use this to get free service/headphones/other items is absolutely absurd.

Now if you want to really break this down and point the blame on someone we can blame ourselves for all of this. How you ask?

The USPTO is the agency that granted the patent to Apple (#5,946,647) United States Patent: 5946647. "A patent application must include one or more claims defining the invention which must meet the relevant patentability requirements such as novelty and non-obviousness. The exclusive right granted to a patentee in most countries is the right to prevent others from making, using, selling, or distributing the patented invention without permission".

Still with me? Ok so the problem is that USPTO issues patents that so broad, but the technology is usually industry standard. But they continue to issue these patents for technology/ideas that have a clear precedent in the industry just shows you how ineffective the system is.

But instead of exerting energy and complaining about the USPTO and how ineffective it is as an agency, people want to bash everyone else. Oh well...

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe just scrape the Sprint and HTC logos off of it, but don't destroy a helpless device, especially one we have all be pining over.

Just relax with that so no one takes it to far or makes it more than what it is.

Does anyone know if something like this has happend before and what the outcome/timeline was? are we talking days/weeks/months?

HEY!I just got shipping confirmation!!! OMG taking a pic rite now, will upload!

They must have cleared it up. Check your emails!

So I guess that you're either officially a troll that hasn't apologized or you have absolutely no technical savvy to post a screen shot. Either way you lose until you post again! Cmon Man!

And Sprint is giving people an out if they want to cancel.

And more than half of the posters here blame Apple when they should blame the system.

The half that blame Apple are 100% correct.Yes, the system should be changed. The fact that Apple games said system, affecting large numbers of consumers and 4 major corporations and their stockholders, is in no way defensible. Yeah, it's childish to get all bent out of shape because you don't get what you want, when you want it. How much more childish is it when Apple covers for their lack of ability to keep up with other phone manufacturers by initiating frivolous lawsuits that cause harm to others.

Oh trust me I follow you. But once again it is not the Responsibility of the consumer who's been peddled and promised a new device to follow that crap. Sprint and htc promised and promoted this phone on a certain date and took $ from customers thereafter. Now i don't know about your experience but corporations love $ but hate blame(ie sprints rep referring all inquires to htc). you guys didn't pay HTC or the USPTO, you paid sprint. our responsibility is to pay out bills and pay for what we want. Someone else gets paid to keep up with patent infringements (ie legal dept). I agree it doesn't mean sprint should send out gift cards or credits. But what I'm saying is: it is the right of the consumer to feel they're owed that our not. Follow me?

I hope you guys get what you paid your hard earned $ for soon. ABOVE ALL ELSE what I'm saying is this: Sprint seems to be F'ing up fast and picking up speed. I really do feel like I'm with the worst of the big 4. Maybe not cause I hate T-Mobile. If probably go with straight talk before them. Seriously

@htcusa on twitter will not even respond to any questions about this situation. Makes me want to tell HTC to F.O.

Sprint CEO: iPhone deal will pay off 'over time' | The Verge

i love how i'm seeing all the bs stories today about dan hesse talking about the iphone bet.

way to rub some more apple a$$ki$$ing in our faces even more sprint.

i have been a moderate supporter of hesse but honestly think sprint is in trouble and simply could not afford to have any hiccups this year.. and this today's disaster is enough of a turn off as a customer that i think hesse may need to go to really reshake the whole company once more.

like this seriously serves as a catalyst to remind me of everything wrong with sprint that i was until now trying to maintain some justification of..

Plus it doesn't help that the iPhone and LTEvo have switched places on Sprint's front page:

LTEvo: 2---->4 iPhone : 4---->2


So, it really does seem as if Sprint is kissing Apple's ass even though Apple royally f*cked Sprint over.

Days. I would frankly be surprised if there are not units walking out of Sprint stores on Friday, but obviously I am speculating like the rest of you. It may linger into early next week, but assuming the phones are already produced and stateside, HTC will get the injunction overturned (or countersue Apple for patent infringement on another simiarly worthless patent, at which point they'll both settle) and move on.

Sprint will not lose any significant face from this situation. Even though there are a dozen or so techies on this forum, and a handful of other similar forums on the interwebs, who are upset over the situation, I would be surprised if it is more than a few hundred in total. 95% of people who buy phones go into a store, pick the pretty one, and walk out. The Evo LTE isn't even a demo model in the store yet. Nobody knows about it but us. And, as previously pointed out - people are taking it like petulant toddlers.

Unless you know for a fact that Apple told US Customs to stop and check all HTC shipments, you simply can't place 100% of the blame on Apple.

HTC has a ruling against them.

And Apple isn't the only one doing the suing.

That logic creates a false equivalency between frivolous and nonsensical suits by Apple, and the counter-suits filed in defense by those they attack. Plus, I said that it is 100% correct to blame Apple, not that they deserve 100% of the blame, and in fact, I conceded that the system is screwed up.

Apple is out to destroy Google because it's founder got his panties all in a bunch because he was shocked to find out that Google wasn't a wholly-owned subsidiary of his company. The same way he was out to destroy Adobe via Flash over a decades old font dispute. Attrition through litigation was his weapon, and still is Apple's. Jobs was a vindictive messiah, his followers still are.

If Google is out to destroy Apple, it is by creating better technology. The funny thing is, without Google's technology, Apple would be even more limited than it already is.

Re: HTC One X and Evo 4G LTE indefinitely delayed at US Customs f

From ISN:

‘Pick and Pack’ has now been completed on ALL pre-orders, therefore cancellation of orders is no longer possible.
HTC has a judicial hearing scheduled this week, and we should have clearance to ship shortly thereafter.
Unofficially, we should be shipping no later than the first of next week, likely sooner.
