If thats the case..that would suck :/...

unless that 1 rumor is true that in the playbook this wed they skip the pre-order thing and push up the release to beat the droid 2 to the punch :/ (similar what tmobile did with theirs)...someone needs to ost the playbook to confirm/deny it >.>

Why would they do a pre-order today when there is not even a release date or price? Price point is a big issue. I for one would not pre-order something before know how much it costs. I just called a local sprint store and they thought it was coming out on the 8th but they said it is not and they do not have the information on when it is or what the price is.

Plus if it was coming out anytime soon the stores should know about it.. At least a week before it comes out so they can prepare..

Not always the case with sprint..the TP2 the stores didn't even know about even after it came out lol...but the preorder thing was definitely legit..but as stated above it may have been pulled the last minute :/

Also so you know..the Epic is on sprint's front page...

Just got the Sprint Connection email...got all hyped, then sad for this glorified ad. It does have a blurb about the Epic, and a link to the Epic video page posted earlier.

but the tp2 was totally fly by night. no instore ads, no commercials, they werent really trying to push that phone. im convinced the only reason sprint signed on carry the tp2 was to have phones to give away to disgruntled tp users, and thats why so many reps were in the dark about it. i took mine into sprint for something and and all the reps were like "omg, i didnt even know that was out yet!" i would expect more from the epic. it is my planned upgrade path from the tp2.

Yeah it was sad day for sprint..not only did they delay it cause of the dumb palm pre...they didn't advertise it one bit :/

----------------------------------------------------

Also some people claim they were able to do pre-orders via sprint and Best buy :/

Not anymore. They pulled it a little while ago, shortly after the Sprint Connection email went out.
