The official "when's it coming out?" thread

Man I've had enough ...I need to get something off my chest ..I hope it isnt just me... when the original evo was anounced I couldnt wait to get it, but the wait didnt seem as difficult as this one. since they announced a release date for that one it was just a matter of going to sleep and waking up a few times before it was here... but this phone right here geeker...this phone right here geeker..has made me lose it. every since the preorders have begun.. then the bootloader .. now ads from radioshack.. and most recently these emails from sprint.. the anticipation has seriously got to me! if they were looking to create a buzz/excitement.. I say bravo sprint I swear the mission has been accomplished. I've seen companies leak way more important info such as specs and so fourth, but never have I seen a company be as tight lipped about a release date as they have this time. Am I the only one who has been checking this site along with all the other phone/tech sites multiple times daily for an announcement of a release date? Im starting to lose sleep which is not good. My girl friend is being ignored, and my work ethic has suffered at work due to an compulsive need to check for updates and I'm not suppose to be on the phone. I cant take it anymore and at this point I think I might need some help......

Sprint holding mandatory HTC EVO 3D training on June 18th (and other info suggesting late June release)

By now I'd say it's quite clear that anyone who bet their house that HTC EVO 3D would be released in early June, specifically between the 3rd and 6th, will be homeless soon. With next week's Radio Shack ad (valid from the 5th to the 11th) only showing that the phone can be preordered, it's unlikely that it will available for purchase in mid-June either.

The big day being counted on now seems to fall within the June 24th to 26th range, though I've also heard a few mentions of July 1st.

I have a complete copy of the supervisor's edition of Sprint's playbook dated May 27th here and as you can see above, there's a mandatory training and communication about the device (and the EVO View) on June 18th. The playbook also mentions week 4 of EVO 3D training—see image below—and I've been told that network blackouts are expected from June 28th to July 8th, where no updates will be pushed to any of Sprint's systems; the last time blackouts like this occured was reportedly during the EVO 4G's launch last year.

I've also heard from someone who works at a printing company today who says the Sprint Account Manager there has been told that all EVO 3D retail signage is due by the 24th, with an expected launch date of the 26th.

Sprint is also sending out new email promos about the phone today (shown above) and has released a press release about all of the "exciting content" that will be preloaded.

In other words, let's just say we're closer to the EVO 3D release today than we were yesterday. And while it's not coming this week, all signs seem to be pointing to late June/early July.

That seems pretty final, wish it was sooner. I'm sure there are a lot of people that feel the same. It does however give HTC time to redo the bootloader.

You are not alone, but you may need a little help while waiting (OMJ's post should help you there); maybe you can get your girlfriend to distract you more

Looks like a very late June - early July release is a lot more solid than other dates before. Thanks OMJ. I have plans at the end of June and was hoping to have the 3D for them, but I'm happy to get a more congealed released date.
