Went to a slightly remote Best Buy and I was #19. Another guy coming in behind me was preordering as well. Demand looks pretty strong.
 
I pre-ordered just before close at a radio shack today and i was the first. It might have been due to the fact that a Sprint store was directly next door.
 
I was first to pre order at my radio shack.. but that might be due to the fact that I'm living in a college town and everyone went home for the summer. The population here quickly goes from ~20,000 during the summer to ~45,000 people in the fall lol. (it's a fairly small city)
 
We have 2 Best Buys in Louisville. I was 3rd in line to order mine on Thursday at 12:00PM. I went to the other Best Buy in town today and talked to the mobile phone guy and he said they only had 8 preorders as of this morning.
 
Pe-odered mine today at the shack. The guy there said not too many have been pre-ordered yet at that location.
 
I live and work in New York City; when I preordered 5/14 Friday evening in the Midtown Best Buy location, there were about 50 preorders already in.
 
I know there are at least 2 preorders at my local Best Buy since I placed them! I was there at 10AM though so can't say how many there are in my area but I suspect to see a decent amount of people when I go to pick up my phones.
 
I pre-ordered from my local Best Buy yesterday - there was a guy just finishing a pre-order, and one who came in just as I was finished. So that was three in 15 minutes.
 
I went to one of my local BB on the 13th the day the pre orders started, at around 5pm and was #2. I expect either way this will be a big selling device for Sprint and just hope that everything goes smoothly with it.
 
Went to The Shack around 5 pm on the 14th, I was number 3, the guy before me had just preordered. (MAN Those receipts are long...)

P.S. The "Best Buy" in Elk Grove didn't carry sprint phones.
 
I was the second person to pre-order on the 13th at my nearest Best Buy and I was there only 15 minutes after the store opened that morning. So I can only imagine how many pre-orders are in by now.
 
I called the BB on Shelbyville Road on Thursday or Friday and he wouldn't tell me how many people were on his list and how many he was getting in.. But I preordered through EVP and it will be shipped from Louisville so I am good and I don't have to stand in anylines. I wanted the phone billed to my account. I got my confirmation email and was told it could be shipped a few days early but will see. Others told me they got phones early from EVP before.
