I may be able to shed some light on this...

I went back to my local BB yesterday and spoke with the Mobile Manager. I explained that I was a little agitated that I pre-ordered the phone (2nd wave), and even after doing so any extra EVOs that would come in were only for walk-in customers. I told him that I didn't understand how they could justify selling any extra EVOs to walk-in customers, and not sell them to the first in line for the 2nd wave.

This is what he told me:

"I understand what you mean, sir. I don't necessarily agree with it either, but it's basically a matter of our sale catalog. In our catalog there is a small number by any item that is an approximation of the amount we have in stock. If we put out the catalog, but then have none in stock, we could get in big trouble for false advertising."

Honestly, they'll probably have EVOs for that event previously posted. They'll just tell people that they're out of stock, which would "technically" be true if referring to "sellable" stock.

BB is kinda shady. lol
