or are retailers like best buy and the shack will carry them also on march 20th? I would rather go to BB and get instant rebate..

I just found it on a website where you can get it for 49.99 with a new contract and 149.99 for a renewal. Only downside is that you have to wait for shipping.

Wirefly.com has them for pre-order just like the previous post said. $49 for new service and $149 for full eligible upgrades. I was beginning to pre-order it and don't want to wait for it to be shipped either. I want it on the 20th , preferably from BB or Radio Shack as well. Neither make you do the mail in rebate to get the $199 price.

HTC Arrive for Sprint - Wirefly.com

Yeah I was looking at that as well, but I am on a Sero Premium account and when I tried telling it to "keep my current plan" it was saying not available on Sero Accounts, and it was trying to charge me another $10 for premium data.

Ordering from Sprint themselves saves you on activation fee, I called their telesales and they were trying to encourage me to purchase via phone with them, but I would have to wait on shipping.

From reading, these new phones come with no cases, and not even a damn screen protector now.

With my , 6700, mogul and TP I am pretty sure I got a nice leather case and good screen protector.

By next year the wall charger is going to be an additional charge (like hoses and electrical plugs on washer/dryers).

I talked to the phone guys at my local Best Buy and they said it is not on their list for new phones coming in because of the lackluster sales of windows phones lately. I don't know how accurate his information is but they aren't doing pre-orders.
