New release date from Best Buy

[Rdubya87]

Looks like HTC still isn't going to confirm. I have a bad feeling Best Buy jumped the gun...

Engadget Update

Thalked with a "source" that indicated that the 25th may be more likely, since htc usually releases on fridays. The 23rd may be the preorder shipping date. I guess we will see.

Hi Gabriel:

You recently received an e-mail that provided an incorrect release date for your pre-ordered item below. We're very sorry for this mix-up.

The release date has changed, but we do not know the new release date yet.

Sprint has not yet announced the new release date, but we'll let you know as soon as we know it.

Be assured that your pre-order is still valid. You can expect that your device will be ready to ship or pick up on the day that it's released.

You can also call us toll-free at 1-888-BEST BUY (1-888-237-8289) with any questions. For faster service, tell us the order number when you contact us.

Thank you.

They might just be saying that since they realized the date is not confirmed officially yet. Not sure why they felt confident enough with 5/23 to begin with though.

If I had to venture a guess it would be that someone arbitrarily put a date in the system since we know its not launching tomorrow, perhaps not realizing that it would send out an email immediatly to everybody with preorders with the "new date." As an employee of BBY I would really not be surprised...

This date had been discussed internally at sprint, apparently.
