So i pre-ordered mine on saturday or sunday at bb.this after trying to preorder at radioshack the same day and the reps there didnt have a clue what i was talking about,the best buy is a bit far so i wouldnt be able to get it til late on the 4th.Shack is down the street i wonder if they got any preorders since they difdt have no clue about the phone,i called a few days ago and they said they would get it by the 4th i asked if they have alot of preorders and they guy told me "we dont do that".its pretty ghetto IMO i would like to file a complain.Also you guys think i should try and preorder at the shack again or just take my chances on the 4th going at store opening time.

So I take it the BB you went to and the Radio Shack I was at sold out its reserves.

I have no clue about that but the guy told me it was the last day scheduled for pre ordered.

Just preordered mine at the shack. I also got the extra $10 coupon which i can apply towards the purchase of the phone. There also happened to be a sprint rep in the store while i was there and she confirmed that you can preorder at the Shack until 5/31. So with a $20 gift card and an extra $10 off i say buy it at the shack if you plan to preorder.

Anybody trading in their old phones at best buy/radio shack? Im seriously thinking bout it. Best buy according to the estimator will give me about 185 for my touch pro 2.

I've got my hero up for sale, if it doesnt sell, i'm trading in at the shack. Not like i am going to use the thing anymore... my moment, tp, tp2 havent been turned on in months. Might as well get some use out of these things.

It seems to me that you can just call telesales and get it the next day. im not too sure but with most device launch dates, you can buy before hand and get it shipped to you so you can get it on the actual launch day. The IPad was like this as well as the Touch Pro2, as a UPS driver i remember those days 'cause every Ipad or TP2 I delivered people were running upto my truck to get their packages . so everybody set your alarm clocks & speed dial to telesales and order on the 3th to get your phone on Fri and enjoy thru the long weekend, its worth a shot.

Well, after seeing this thread, I walked down to the RadioShack (about a block from our offices) and placed my pre-order

The guy there seemed to think they would have them by the 2nd or 3rd and would start calling customers as soon as they arrived. Hopefully that's the case

but I'm trying not to get my hopes up lol. My TP1 is in dire need of a replacement......

yep lol, still on the TP1. Got close to swapping it out a couple of times, but then read about the Evo and decided to stick it out. It's done well and survived much abuse...but yes...I cannot wait to get rid of this tiny screen lol.

I have seen some people who had pre-ordered at Best Buy and were charged tax for the $50 deposit/gift card. Was this maybe employee-error or because of their state/tax policy?
