Just picked up an evo yesterday morning from Long Island, NY. They came in Tuesday morning by 11:30 all 5 were gone. So they are coming in to the sprint stores. You just have to call early in the morning. This was the busiest store on Long Island so that may have something to do with it. Another store deeper in Long Island got in 2. The phone came with 2.2 already installed.

Would the busy Best Buy be Westbury?

The shortages have nothing to do with Sprint. This is a carrier wide problem w manufacturers trying to manufacture screens to keep up w demand. Other carriers have the same problems with similar devices. Samsung is probably going to run into the same problem with the Epic.

The shortage is for AMOLED screens...if there is a shortage of 4.3" LCD screens its the first I heard of it :/

We are out. Sorry... I think it is due to parts shortages. The Evo has been insanly in demand compared to any other phone we have ever launched.

Well supposedly parts shortages so whether its screen or something else I dont know. The conspiracy theories that Sprint is dropping the ball is so ridiculous, i mean seriously. Why do people have to blame the carrier and not the manufacture who supply the phones? Thats almost like blaming Wal-mart for wii shortages.

when the epic drops, the evo will be able to get pretty easily and im sure the price will drop. if you need one that bad go on ebay or craigslist.

I dunno... I like the IDEA of the Epic... I just dont like Samsungs phones... Does the Epic have a GPU? If no GPU and no customized launcher or anything, the only thing it really has is a keyboard with a smaller screen, and if the follow what the Moment did, no LED for notifications.

Speaking of shortages... I live on Long Island... I cant believe people are still trying to get this phone!! Ive had it since launch and had Sprint and Best Buy and Radio Shack all on order, so I potentially had 3 phones... hell if I knew I would have ebayed them
