I visited Best Buy this afternoon to ask what number I was on the pre-order list. Our BB is going to get only 5 phones on launch day....the people who pre-ordered by 5/21.

He said our local Sprint store is getting maybe 60 - 70 phones.

I just remember that the T-Mobile HD2 sold out the first week nationwide so I think the EVO will too.

I personally hope everyone in my area that may be getting the phone flocks to BB or RS. I will be going to Sprint 1st because I am paying full price, BB second if its sold out at Sprint because the BB is about 3 blocks away and RS last, I got a friend who works there and illl just tell her to hold one for me.

I have a strong feeling that even if I dont go to get it the 1st day, that I wont have a problem finding one on the Saturday.

Plus if they do sell out, the 2nd batch might have Froyo. Or the 3rd batch.....

I'd already thought about that, but was trying not to think about that, and now you've me rethink thinking about that.

I wouldnt hold my breath on that one. Even if Sprint and HTC do come out with 2.2 in a timely manner, I would think they wouldnt be quick to throw it to the masses while the phone is still selling like hotcakes (if it sells that good) when they could hold on to it for a while until sales slow down some and then release it as a Evo with a new lease on life just to get the sales to pick up again.

It only makes sense from a business and marketing aspect.

that doesnt mean much, they are just retarded. I went with radioshack too and they had a stack of preorders filled out when i got mine. BUT the best buy here doesnt sell sprint in store so that could be a reason people flocked to RS or sprint store

this phone will sell out in most if not all areas. all the best buys in my area (im by detroit, and have them all over) are filled on the "guaranteed on the 4th" orders. any preorders placed now you might be lucky and get the phone the 4th but could be waiting up to 14 days. was going to preorder today and this is what i got from the few closest stores to me. instead im going to get to the sprint store extra early and pay the extra $100, then wait for my mir. i wasnt paying for the phone anyways i was going to sell my tp2 as soon as i got my evo to recover most if not all of the cost on it.
