Although I am not going to get my hopes up on that one until I hear for sure. But they said the same thing for the Treo 800x and the Diamond. They both launched through TeleSales at the times announced, but didn't make it to the stores until about a month later.

Just something to keep in mind.
I can appreciate your optimism, however I can't see Sprint putting a priority towards "everyday users" (especially for this phone) vs. companies that have business connections to them. The company I work for helps Sprint generate a lot of advertisement and revenue, so to put themselves in a situation where they'd give the "average joe" an opportunity to get a business phone prior to the companies that would be able to "do something for them" would be very bad for business.

I'd be Shocked if telesales had the phone available for order on 10/19 if EVP discount had a "pre-order" available.
