This means a early release has a chance of happening. Now when I discussed further information on the release with sprint I questioned are they attempting to do the same thing as best buy. I got a pause of course and they wondered why I asked. I stated well best buy received the phones on a friday and sold on a friday, is it possible sprint is attempting the same thing? Sprint agreed with this and stated that is what there pushing for.

Let's put out the facts to paint a picture here, Bestbuy Had the agreement to have the phones a WEEK before sprint stores and others, Now Bestbuy was set to sale the phones on Oct 26 ( which is a sunday ). Now Sprint is set to sale the phones Nov 2. ( which is a sunday ). Picture looking good so far? So early release is a possibilty! Sprint was even more surpisied about the High percentage of stores being sold out due to early release, This is why sprint is discussing this! There projecting the same thing to happen if a early release were to happen.

Now If sprint decides to early release the phone should be on the Sprint website at 12 am friday. Now if the website shows the phone then telesales has the ability to sale due to the systems are intergrated. Now there is a couple more conference calls today with sprint, verizon, telus, and HTC, so im going to be pushing for more info and keep us all updated, I have to admit sprint is getting harder and harder to push with this but they will have to release the info sometime. Now I will also provide further info today for the verizon touch pro and telus release. The main project HTC has me on right now is a full conversion of the Touch HD, and guess who is discussing that phone with HTC, hmm none other then Sprint and verizon. So I will be a little busy today but not be much.

Can we start a new thread for your new project? I think a lot of people would be interested in this project.
