New release date 5/23/12 Per Best Buy email ???

Best Buy must be acting on some fairly concrete information to send this out. If not, they are risking a lot of fairly upset customers if it doesn't come to pass.

Here's a strange question regarding this though. If the decision has been made that it is no longer infringing and that this nightmare is over, why can't shipments begin immediately? I guess I can understand that Sprint might want to wait to have the "official release" in stores on a date like Wednesday, but would they not just be able to give UPS the word and the shipments would start?

I wonder if UPS has to wait to hear official word from U.S. Customs and not just from Sprint or HTC?

I think that shipments would begin immediately, and arrive tomorrow afternoon for many of us Sprint preorders. They wait till Wednesday so the early promise is fulfilled and plenty of stock on hand in stores.

They probably can, and may do just that, but as you've already stated, the official launch date has to be a bit later to make sure the stores have stock. People with pre-orders can, and probably will, receive them earlier than the official date.

Same e-mail with my Minnesota Best Buy. Getting tired of waiting though.
