I know that the Shack is supposed to take pre-orders some time later this month. Any thoughts on Bestbuy or any other retailers? Any other options than standing in line at my Sprint store on June 4th?

It appears that BB is taking pre-orders but only at local stores for now?

HTC EVO 4G will be available in all Sprint retail channels, including Sprint.com and national retail partners, RadioShack, Best Buy and Wal-Mart. Sprint will price the award-winning device at $199.99 with a two-year service agreement and after a $100 mail-in rebate (taxes excluded) with a new line activation or eligible upgrade. Pre-registration is available now at www.sprint.com/evo.

I know there is a difference from Pre-ordering and Pre-registration but just thought I would put this out there just for information purposes. If any of you can remember how the Palm Pre launch happened a year ago, I am guessing it would be done similar at the Sprint Stores. Those customers that Pre-Registered were sent an email that allowed them to enter the Sprint Stores a few hours earlier on launch day (in a few select stores the night before) to purchase the Palm Pre. I would think it would be done about the same this year for the Evo Launch, hopefully with more inventory this time.

Best of luck y'all!

very possible but that would likely be at the sprint stores themselves, i'm really curious to see how radioshack handles preorders of the Evo because they've never done preorders for a phone before, should be interesting....

I'm curious at to when Telesales will let you order the phone, usually through them you can get it a few weeks before it shows up at stores.

I'm wondering about this also, I'm still in contract but I'm able to charge the phone to my account.
