So Radio Shack may have a midnight opening on 06/04???

[alvarezjpr]

My local RS is opening at 9am (regular schedule). They only got 3 pre-orders (small town). It does not matters much to me since I' m not an early riser. But, the manager actually asked me if I wanted to come at 11am since that was the time when the clerk that attended me during the pre-order was coming in to work. I said, hell no!!! I guess the clerk is not getting his commission.

Do you have to activate the phone right then and there at Radio Shack?

I actually have some important things to do that day. I also want to take my phone straight to Zagg and have the invisible shield put on.

The thinking is, I'll just drop my phone off at Zagg, go do what I have to do, and come back later to pick my phone up from Zagg. I might as well keep using my current phone while I do all this, and then activate the Evo when I pick it up from Zagg.

Anyone know if that wikll fly, or will Radio shack activate it and then make me ESN swap back to my old phone. And if I do ESN swap back top my old phone 10 seconds after Radio Shack activates it, would that cause any problems?

just tell them thanks and that you appreciate their help but you're in a rush and you know all about the phone and you know what you're doing and will activate it at home.

I called my local RS in Bloomingdale IL and she said 9am. I will be there at 9am.

That will not be possible I am afraid. If we do not activate the phone, then you will have to pay the full $500 for it. There is no way we can apply the rebates to it without the device being activated in SNAP before you leave the store.

Do you think if I show up at 6AM without a pre-order I'll be able to get the Evo? I called the local RS yesterday and was told there are no more pre-orders but they do have extras available and that they were opening at 6AM on Friday.
