did you ask to see his iphone?

I love being the guy that shower, slap on clothes and look presentable with 10 minutes of prep time. I will be waking up at 5:45 to be at my 6 A.M. appt.

Hope to see you there sakuul

That said, I'm impressed they sold that many units through RS. I think this phone is going to have some solid sales numbers off the bat.

mine did not give me an appointment either. i gave them a timeframe i would be there friday to pick up. but i'm going to call them thursday and see if they are opening early friday. if so, i might try to scoot in earlier.

I like when I call RS and they start off with that line about "home of the IPhone". I told they guy they couldn't pay me enough to say that.

Interesting, my local radio shack now says "home of the evo" when answering the phones.

Also the shack is setting up time slots for evo pick up just like bb so reserve ur spot...

If Sprint is only handing out 69k to RS, then I guess Sprint really don't need a come back. They are setup to fail by not putting up with demand.

when i went to the store Monday, they said that store was going to call and schedule appointments this week so that there isn't a cluster of EVO activiations on friday, not sure if all stores are doing this or if it's just my local store.

Plus if you pre-ordered from RS, don't forget to ask about the $20.00 towards accessories you get for pre-ordering.

COME ON FRIDAY....GET HERE FAST!!!!!!!!

I just got a call from radioshack saying that basically they are going to be emailing me a list of their EVO accessories so I can email them back which ones I would want to purchase. that way they can put up with demand. anyone else get anything like that?
