I got to my Sprint store at 9am(they opened at 8). To my surprise, I was the only one there!! I was expecting lines out the door.....weird...
Same as you. I showed up at Sprint at 9 AM, no lines at all, store opened at 8 AM. Walked right in and was waited on right away, got the EVO in less than 15 minutes. Bought some accessories, which I got for 25% off. Pretty nice experience.
