Shipping notification....Who's first?

His latest tweet was about how they've switching up the way they give out info now. Please don't tell me this means we're going to get even LESS information on this situation now. Jesus.

Not sure if this link (dated today) has been posted. If so sorry. But it states that Best Buy will release on May 23rd and Sprint on May 25th. Our BB has dummy phones and our Sprint Stores don't. Maybe there is some truth to it.

How does it make any sense that Best Buy will be selling the phone before Sprint?

i know, when i read that, it kinda made me sad. nonetheless, Fridays not bad but wednesday sounds better. Glad some free maps came out on COD MW2 to hold me off.

Just realized I can get the EVO (assuming it ever get's released) on Amazon for $50 less. Wondering if there is any reason I shouldn't cancel my pre-order with Sprint and re-order with Amazon?

So if the the phones are sitting in a warehouse already packed up with lablels, why is a big meeting necessary? A simple phone call saying SHIP THE DAMN PHONES would be too easy. Sounds like more b.s.

There might not be enough phones to go around if the pre-orders exceeded the production. Thats the thing I would worry about.

It doesn't, unless they will hit BB before those of who pre-ordered get them, and this is Sprint's way of pretending their messages to us have been in good faith. Then again, this could be just one more bit of misinformation we're gobbling up because we are very sick people whose lives revolve around getting this new phone.

Um, only some Sprint EVOs cleared for shipment. More info to come.

[mikep7779]

Place my order on the 13th, hope i make the cut off

 

[ScottRx82]

on a side note....i can't WAIT to walk into an Apple store with my shiny brand new EVO LTE. Maybe do a slow paced victory lap around the store, pick up a demo iPhone, put it side by side with the Evo, chuckle, then walk out.

HTC EVO 4G LTE: Some have cleared, awaiting launch date.

As of this afternoon’s launch update call, I have learned that only some shipments have cleared customs at the Louisville warehouse. It turns out that they are not being cleared per model, as we thought, but rather per shipment. Which, in hindsight makes sense, but had not crossed my mind before. I do not know how many ‘shipments’ were received, but as of 3PM today, it was reported that about half had cleared. I also learned that the update came so late in the day, because they were awaiting to see if they would complete today or not. It is anticipated that they would finish this afternoon, or tomorrow at the latest.

NOTE: this does NOT mean they are checking every phone, as some have asked – it simply means they are testing a sample from each shipment (each shipment contains 1,000′s of devices, and they only sample 1), and that sample does not get shipped out, so no worries about getting a ‘used’ device. There was also some mention of some additional reasons why they were checking actual samples, instead of just going by the paperwork, but no real details were given on the call.

OK. So the big question is when will they ship. If they finish late tonight or tomorrow, they would ship as soon as tomorrow night. At any point after that, they will ship on the night they are completed. You won’t hear this from care or stores if you ask, because they are being told to give the customary ‘unsure/out of our hands’ responses you’ve already heard already, because we can’t be 100% sure of when they will finish. And since they delay is expected to be short, they will launch all at once (not ship out half now, the rest in a day or two)… and all pre-orders WILL get their devices first. It’s still planned that the launch date will be this week, as they could be finished as soon as tomorrow.

I know there’s probably more, as it was a crazy long call, but I wanted to get as much too you guys as quickly as I could. I’ll reread this after I post it, and post any updates as needed. The next launch update call is tomorrow afternoon.

… and here’s the updated/same answer that has been re-provided to care:

Q: What is the status of pre-order and when will pre-order devices be delivered?

HTC is working with U.S. Customs for a speedy resolution and your pre-order fee still holds the device.
We will provide a ship date as soon as possible.
We maintain the promise for the preorder customers that they will be among the first to receive their HTC EVO 4G LTE units.
