Well I guess I'll wait for a while. I have diag. lines across my diamond screen.... Will see if it will last a little longer.

my upgrades up in august so im personally paying full price and getting it over with day one and not worry about the inventory getting slammed by people trying to squeak the system.

My upgrade is in August too (last upgrade was at the release of the TP1), but sometimes they'll give it to you early if you ask nice. I got my wife upgraded from her Vogue to a Pre a month or two early. Of course, it probably helped that I was also upgrading her SERO contract to one of the new Everything Plus lines at double the price per month. We'll see if it works for my SERO line and the EVO.

Looks like the EVO cleared the FCC

Yep & it looks like the device will be using the same battery as the tp2 as well..
Found out on Android Forums & took a look for myself.. Check here in pic 4 at the very bottom in the battery column you will see the model number RHOD160 to the right & if googled it comes up as the battery for the TP2

Yes I am up in August also and was told you can get upgrade early. But he said they can't add it to your account unless it's 2 months in advance and adding it now would be 3 so I need to call back in June I was told. The rep was really nice and gave me his name and direct phone number.

I'm not eligible for upgrade till August as well but I had an idea last night. I have a SERO account and for whatever reason my contract on it ended last September. So I was planning on adding a brand new line to my account, swapping numbers with my SERO account, and then cancelling the SERO account. This is all theoretical of course, but don't see why it wouldn't work.

If you're still under contract here's another idea. Add a brand new line to your account. Swap the numbers. On the old line that is still on contract, switch it to their $5 dollar plan. Not sure if they still have this plan. Its basically a plan that keeps your phone active, but you get charged for every minute and text. Turn of the phone on this line so you don't get any calls or text on it. When the contract is over, close the line. I did this like 2 years ago to get the TP1 early.
