I never go in store but I always get large discount over the phone. Not just free activation. So I'm probably gonna go that route.

And the free overnight shipping is nice... Even though sometimes it takes them awhile to process the order in house...

But the reps in the store leave a lot to be desired in my area... I avoid them like the plaque.

Seems there will be some preordering after all

this is what i got from a Lead EVP Rep today when trying to pre-order the Pro instead of the Diamond


Mr. Jones,

I received your documents so we are set on that. Thanks.

As far as the phone device, The HTC Touch Pro has not been released yet (nor is there a date set that I know of) so I can’t break down any of the pricing information. Do you want to wait for it?

If not, to proceed with the Touch Diamond I would need your payment info. Please email me the credit card type, name on the card, card number, exp date, and three digit code on the back and we will ship it to as soon as its released (tentatively 9/14). Once it ships I will email you a confirmation.

Thanks.

Try pointing them to their own website which shows the lease date and see if they can try going further up the chain to get you pre-ordered.

Indeed i did i even went on the evpdiscount.com website logged in and notice they snatched the diamond off the page. and the touch pro that im looking to pre order . another rep stated 10/19 is not confirmed and not in the system.


appreciate it though.

Well now, that's a very disheartening turn of events there! Looks like you might just have to try it again on the 15th.

This afternoon I conducting some business in the same shopping plaza as a Sprint corporate retail location, since I was in the area I walked to see what their status was for the Touch Pro, the associate that greeted me was blissfully unaware of the device launch date and admitted that they had only received Sprints press release yesterday (Sep.11) Even though the rest of the known universe learned pricing and dates a day earlier. The store rep didn't recommend purchasing directly from the store as they're unlikely to have the device in-stock on the actual release date, according to him.

Either way, I'm not going fool around with the clowns in the corporate store, I want this phone like a hooker needs heroin, I'm calling telesales and having it over-nighted the moment the crate from Japan clears U.S. customs.

LMAO, co-sign to the fullest. Telesales will be hearing from me on release day @ 12:01am, at 12:10 I'm gonna need a verifiable tracking number. I went to a Sprint/Radio Shack store today, associate behind the counter knew nothing of the Diamond or Touch Pro, had to direct him to HTC's website right there on his store pc.
