If you have friends at the local Radio Shack that are going to hook you up and make sure a phone gets put aside with your name on it, then good for you. Just remember that friends or no friends, its still a business. If that particular Radio Shack gets 100 Epics delivered to them on launch day, and they already have 100 paid pre-orders, your "hook up" is going out the window. You should probably drop my there and have them explain exactly what is going on. And bring $50.00 just in case.
