I posted this in another thread asking about EPRP getting the phone on the 4th. My answer covers both that question and your question.

After a little bit of time, she said, "I have a memo that says Sprint Employees w/ employee accounts won't be able to get them on the release date, but it does not say anything about EPRP accounts. You shouldn't have a problem getting it on the 4th."
I asked about getting it at BB or RS and she said I had to go through telesales or a corporate owned Sprint store.
Again, this is just one conversation I had w/ one person at eCare when switching my plans.
Ultimately, I don't see why there would be a wait for EPRP customers. We are not employees, just people who were referred by employees.

I will be calling today to add a line. When I do, I'll ask once again if there are any restrictions regarding the 4th or BB/RS. I'll post back here if I get any other info.
UPDATE:
I talked to telesales, basically here's what went down.
While I was on the phone w/ him I asked about getting the EVO June 4th. He said no problem.
I told him I heard that Sprint might restrict people w/ accounts like mine from getting it on the release date. I mentioned I heard that happened with the Pre. He said, "There are no restrictions for getting the phone on the 4th. Customers w/ referral accounts like you, and of course retail customers, can get the phone. There is a restriction for Sprint Employees but not referral or retail accounts."
When asked about getting the phone at BB or RS, he said I can't get it there. He recommended calling telesales. They have free standard overnight shipping.
