Sprint Pre-orders

[RomanHelmet]

Wanted to let everyone know I was able to "pre-order" one from my local Sprint store today. I called two, and the first one didn't know anything. But the next one put me on hold for a few minutes then came back and took my name and phone number, and asked if it was going to be an upgrade for a current line.

So take it with a grain of salt, but depending on what store you call, you may be able to get on some kind of (un)official list.

I just pre-ordered mine from Radio Shack !

It doesn't sound very official, did they just say they would call you or that you were actually on a preorder list.

+1! They also asked if I wanted to preorder the kickstand case. I said no after they told me the price. $50! Yikes!

$50!!?? Did you tell them that you wanted only one, not the whole case? ;-)

Haha very true. I'm willing to bet once they start advertising this phone more they're going to sell out all over the place.

I talked to a buddy of mine who works for Sprint as a retail sales rep. He's at a different store than I preordered at, but he said that the preorders they do like the one I got on is legit. They sometimes will call you a day early to come in and pick up your phone before everyone else, and it does save you a phone. So if you're getting one through Sprint then its worth calling around, especially since they don't ask for any money down.

I am not too upset about the 50 bones I had to put down, after all, it goes towards the purchase price of the phone, so it just makes purchase day less painful!

I can't believe that kickstand case is gonna be 50 bucks. I just got a different style seido case about a month ago and I love it. It's the innocase active with 2 parts to it and I am hoping to get a similar one for my EVO. But I am sure I'll have the kickstand one too. I don't know! I hope I can sell my EVO with all my accesories for a decent price.

Me too, your best bet is the corporate sprint stores w/repair shop in back, the bigger ones....i heard radioshack leaked a memo saying rough launch june 4th...it sounds right in line with last 2 sprint launches htc evo and palm pre(most underrted OS) both lunched first wken in june, plus spint ill want to beat tmobile htc sensation aka evo3D minus 3D...comes out june8 or sumthing?

Plus at sprint i can charge a phone to my account or accessories, its nice i charged full price htc hero while i waited for my insurance claim..returned it at day 25ish.

I just stopped by the corporate store near me and was able to buy the $50 gift card and put my name on the preorder list. They said I was the first one at that store, so now I just have to wait for them to actually announce the release date.

Well it's $50 down, and that's both of them. I bet the case will be like $25-30

I did my pre order today for $50 as well. At my local sprint store. So it is official.

No, I specifically asked what the price was. Though she seemed unsure. Anyway, I think I can live without a kickstand.

Has anyone been able to Pre Order from Sprint directly yet?

 

[xavier28]

I went in on the 1st day pre-order was available at best buy and no one had done it yet...decided to wait. Couldn't wait that long and went in about 3 weeks ago and Im now 3rd on the list....should have known better not to wait. STILL, it's looking pretty good that I will be able to snatch one up on the release day!

 

[RomanHelmet]

Yea forgot to mention that. The store that did do a preorder for me was a corporate store with a repair shop in back.

Lucky Roman, I called 8 corporate Sprint stores today, and not a single one had any clue about a preorder, although one said at their meeting this morning that they were told to expect the 3D "sooner than you think." Wish that actually meant something...
