Sprint might not be taking reservations but you can still go to Radio shack and make a pre-order by buying a $50.00 gift card. I bet Best Buy is still doing them too.

hmm, when I went to radio shack, I didnt pay a dime.. all they did was put my name on the computer and told me I'd be receiving a call when it comes in

They didn't make you buy a $50.00 gift card? Usually thats the way they do it to make sure you come back and buy it from their store. I wonder if that is something different than what I did. Did they tell you that they would guarantee that you would have a phone waiting for you on launch day?

I've never done it like that... I would call and make sure you actually have a pre-order.

If you have friends at the local Radio Shack that are going to hook you up and make sure a phone gets put aside with your name on it, then good for you. Just remember that friends or no friends, its still a business. If that particular Radio Shack gets 100 Epics delivered to them on launch day, and they already have 100 paid pre-orders, your "hook up" is going out the window. You should probably drop my there and have them explain exactly what is going on. And bring $50.00 just in case.
