You might not care for this phone... but it's still high demand and will do pretty good in my opinion. Even in 3G markets..

Well when you start advertising a phone months before its launch... i would expect nothing less than a long waiting list. Nonetheless I will be first at my sprint store to pick one up. Had they advertised the pre better and prior to its launch like the EVO, maybe it wouldnt have done so bad for sprint. Also launching a phone in beta stages of its OS isn't really going to help. (not that it was in beta testing... it just seemed like it with all the missing features). It could have done so much better. But pre is old news. I want the EVO NOW!

Why not pre-order? My experience is pre-orders arrive a day or two before the store launch.

Thanks for the advice. I would preorder but I personally know the manager of the sprint store in the next town over. I'm going to see if he can hook me up like he did with my pre last year.

Is this for current subscribers or ones wanting new service for the phone? If it wont draw people from other carriers then why would it matter

They better have an overstock of these phones. It is the most annoying thing when companies advertise the hell out of something and then when it finally comes out you can't get one.

That's marketing 101, scarcity creates more demand. Pre-Order it, you wont find one at a store after the first couple days.

"Everyone's favorite WiMAX-powered Android device finally has a date and a price, and you don't have terribly long to wait: June 4 is the date that you'll want to be lining up outside your local Sprint store for an EVO 4G, $199 in hand (assuming you're signing up for a new contract, of course -- according to the fine print, the full cost is $450 before all discounts). Interestingly, Sprint has specifically called out that you'll be able to video chat (remember, the EVO 4G has a front-facing cam) over both 3G and 4G using Qik -- not a bad choice, considering the company's well-established expertise with streaming live video out of handsets." Yes, yes it is coming out on the 4th.
