[dshoem01]

HTC shared this statement regarding the HTC EVO 4G LTE: 

“The US availability of HTC One X and HTC EVO 4G LTE has been delayed due to a standard U.S. Customs review of shipments that is required after an ITC exclusion order. We believe we are in compliance with the ruling and HTC is working closely with Customs to secure approval. HTC One X and HTC EVO 4G LTE have both received enthusiastic support and we appreciate customers patience as we work to get these products into their hands as soon as possible.”

Just got a call from the Seattle area store where I preordered my EVO LTE, and was told that the devices have been released, and they are expecting to receive them as early as THIS AFTERNOON!  Plus, they have been authorized to sell them as soon as they arrive at the store, so I am (as you can imagine) EAGERLY awaiting a phone call, HOPEFULLY THIS AFTERNOON, to go get my phone.

I hope you're right. That would be great. But I'd sure think that info would be out there somewhere, especially since Sprint hasn't made any kind of statement about the phones being officially launched.

Hi everone, I'm the new kid in the block! I can't seem to get a solid answer from Sprint which is ludacris! My question; Will the corporate Sprint store receive the phone as well, becuase that's where I pre-ordered mines from!?

I also pre-ordered mine from the store.  I talked to the store and was told that they haven't received any information about the phones shipping.  Which goes back to a lot of peoples compliants about Sprint being incompetent and not communicating this information correctly.  It's like the old say; "the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing"  This is absurb!  I swear if I didn't like my phone (currently "the EVO 1") so much I would switch cell phone providers! But anyway,  if anyone hears anything about store pre-orders please let us know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Note to self* Always do preorders online on Sprint.com

I'm just kind of ... upset that I pre-ordered my phone from the Best Buy store and only the people who pre-ordered from Sprint.com are getting the phone...What about the other people?
