White Evo at Best Buy?

[msw323]

Don't know how true this is, but if so I would have preferred white...but that's just me

HTC EVO 4G in white expected to be a Best Buy exclusive (Phone Arena News)

Dont see anything on best buy or sprint, so.....

 

[Ommegasis]

engadget just confirmed it. pre order starts today, its a best buy exlusive for a few weeks.

 

[neilept]

Yeah, it will be available on July 11th. Maybe those who can't get one should preorder.

interesting for sure

Well, bad thing is it is just over the 30 day period to return/exchange at BB. Good thing is that with Silver Premiere, we get 45 days - even on cell phones, so this should be interesting......

I'm still waiting on my rebate eligibility (July 1st), I just might have to pre-order the white one

Bastards!!! oh well,i guess i'll stick with my back one.

 

[elder_shawn]

Now I want a white one!!!! EFFF!

from the looks of the picture it looks like the battery cover is not the rubberized one the black one has currently.

That or it's been photoshopped to make it look shinny when it's not. I'm not all that interested in white, it gets dirtier faster and any nick or scratches are more noticeable.

I don't know if I like the white. Seems like it will get dirty from grease easily. Also, it stands out too much for a phone that is already big.

Those of you have seen the pictures on engadget, does the back look like a glossy plastic to you? Isn't the back of the black evo a soft-touch finish? (I don't have an evo yet, though now I have options! White sure looks sexy, but I love black as well...)

So now the question is if you got one from BB on launch day (6/4) how will it work out if you want to exchange it for the white one coming out ~37 days afterwards?

the black evo is a "soft" matted black cover. But i kinda like the candyshell white... although it reminds me too much of that iphone grandpa phone.

Doubtful. Knowing BB, they pushed it 37 days later for a reason. They won't do anything they won't capitalize on. Trust me on that!

all i know is if it's not the soft matted back cover, you are going to have finger prints all over it and it's going to be hard to hold the damn thing lol.

Unless you are a Silver Rewards Member, then you are good to go.

Plus if I were them i wouldn't let people exchange their black ones for white ones. That's the cost of being a first time adapter, I would tell you just like this:

Sucks to be you lol

I always liked my devices black, hence the reason why I have the new Xbox. Although shiny gets fingerprints a lot. I shall stick with the black Evo.
