For those who haven't preordered the EVO yet, what time are you planning on camping out your local Sprint store?

I was planning on camping out around 5am because telesales won't be selling them until tomorrow which means Monday delivery. Unfortunately for me, I now have a meeting I need to attend tomorrow at work so I can't come in super late like I had planned.

I went to the Sprint store during lunch and spoke to a girl there that said they open at 8am. She wasn't sure how many they had coming in, but she said she would call me 1st thing in the morning and let me know. I'm just down the street from them and they're never really busy so I might get lucky. I can just run over after my meeting and get my phones. We'll see.

Telesales told me they would start taking orders at 12am eastern. I called the EPRP # by the way. Dont know if it has to do with time zones or plan types cause others reported 4am on the west coast. Im not sure what to do. Maybe Ill drive by at 4am and see if anyone is camped out.

I had planned on getting there around 6am, but I wondering if that'll be soon enough with all the hype. Fortunately for me I don't have to be at work as early as usual so I hope to wait in line and still make to work on time

I will not be camping out....I will go to two BB that are near me and see if I can make some magic happen! If that does not work then I will just go to RS.

Telesales told me I could call when they open. The guy I spoke to said 4am PST because they handle Eastern calls too.
If it's midnight or 4am, it won't make a difference. They give you free overnight shipping, but that does not include Saturday delivery so I wouldn't get it until Monday. Someone in another thread mentioned you might be able to pay extra for Saturday delivery, but for right now, I'm going to try my luck w/ the Sprint Stores. I have 4 corp stores I can hit after work.

I talked to a rep at the my local store yesterday and they said they expect it to be a big deal. So I doubt I'd be lucky enough to get one after work and places such as BB and RS are only getting a limited supply (like 10-15 phones) to sell to non preorders
