Call sprint account services, ask them to order you one, they will. If they say they can't, hang up and call back or ask for retentions. I promise they will get you your evo
A) Why?
B) It will probably be the same darn thing and I will have to satrt all over waiting
Ugh!
I have tried everything and everywhere and can't get one!
Got on a waiting list at one sprint store...but they can't tell me WHERE on the list I am??
Have called every other sprint store near me...some say they are don't have them and aren't allowed to do waiting lists.
One store told me they have them...but you can only get one if you are on their waiting list which is >200 people.
None of the Best Buys have them here.
While at the mall yesterday I stopped by the sprint kiosk. The girl told me they would be getting some between 1 and 2:00 today. She said they didn't have a waiting list, but took my # and said she would call me as soon as they arrive.
So, today at 1:00 sharp as I was picking my daughter up from camp I called them. They said they were waiting for them to arrive. I headed straight there (arriving about 1:15). When I got there they said they were SOLD OUT! The thing that really ticked me off is that one of the guys that got one said the reason he did was because he was on the WAITING LIST! WTH???
Why would the girl tell me there is no waiting list...and there IS???? And, to add fuel to the fire....the same girl was there and said she didn't remember me or remember telling me that...are you KIDDING??? It was just yesterday!
It's not so much that I am mad I didn't get one (although I am not happy about it)....it's that she had me shlep up there (with a cranky 3 year old) for NO REASON .
Every store and place are doing things differently and it's completely frustrating. Meanwhile my BB Curve is driving me nuts.
I am tempted to just go get an iphone.....but that's really not what I want.
Sorry to rant....just FRUSTRATED
You can purchase the white evo on bestbuy.com. Just checked and they are in stock.
I GOT MY EVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After spending half the day on the phone with sprint stores, radio shacks, best buys, and repeatedly checking sprint.com, I decided to give up and just wait a few weeks.
Then, tonight I got a call from the girl at the sprint kiosk. She apologized big time (see original post)...was really super sweet. She said it turned out they had one evo left and before she called anyone else she wanted to call me because she felt bad about what happened.
So, I went right up there and got my new evo
NOW......I will be on these forums trying to learn how to use this thing!
Wow...what a change from my BB Curve!
I am freakin a little bit...but I will get it all figured out.
Woohoo

Where do you live that you can't get one? I live right outside of Nashville, TN and just today the Walmart I was in had 3 on the shelf. My wife had to trade in her blackberry last week so we were at the local Sprint store... Sat and watched 4 or 5 people come in ask if they had an EVO in stock and all of them walked out with one... Behind the counter was their lock and key storage area and while sitting there it APPEARED they had a good 20 of them behind the counter in the cabinet.
My local Best Buy told me they had a couple in stock when I asked on Tuesday when I was picking up a DVD...
And how long do you think it would take for Walmart to sell-though only 3 of them? How long for Best Buy to sell "a couple"? Sounds like they had a fair number at Sprint, but even 20 could be easily sold in half a day. So just because you have been at the right place at the right time, doesn't mean that other people have the same experience. Especially when even by your own reports, you are just seeing a few on the shelves.
