Evo out for 1 month?

Delays in production due to LCD screen shortage. Sprints reps have informed me that stocks wont refill for another month. Has anyone heard otherwise?

That sucks but nothing new as they had shortages since launch

misinformation.... thats not the issue. there are still shipments just not as much as one would hope for

That's what anyone selling them will say and if you try to order from their "warehouses" you're just going to keep waiting anyways. Stores get shipments maybe once a week. The quantity depends on what market you're in. My sister-in-law order one at Best Buy. She had been waiting for a month already with no hopes of getting the phone still, when i walk into Best Buy to purchase the white Evo and they had two in stock. You're best bet is to just show up at stores and check if they have any. Don't bother calling because they'll probably tell you they don't have any. Try to find out around what time shipments get there and go at those times.

Great source...
If you are in Columbus, Ohio you can try through one of the A2Z Wireless Sprint stores. It's a one off place i.e. a authorized dealer not Sprint. The thing is that they have scored me 2 EVOs with no hassle in the process 1 on launch day and 1 a week ago. The official sprint stores here are also saying they have some in stock, just check in the morning....

Same thing when checking with 5-10 sprint stores, 4 best buy stores, 2 frys stores, and some local phone stores.
Called them, said they are waiting for them to come in because of lcd shortage. (apparantly lcd is made by samsung and samsung got mad and is trying to sue htc).
One of the best buy stores told me there is over 500 people on the waiting list. So I went on craigslist, and bought a MINT (no scratches, no nothing, pretty much brand new) for 325$. Already rooted with modified stock kernel and fresh rom.
Suggest you check your local craigslist as well.
btw this is in dallas, texas area.

My phone died today. im so desperate i might get the Epic but, i dont really like samsung, touchwiz or qwerty.

Have you contacted a Sprint store? When my phone bricked, I only had to wait one week (6 days).

GN VZW is on for tomorrow(the 9th) @ Best Buy Mobile

EDIT I went in today to pick it up. The salesman went and grabbed it for me. He was in the process of ringing me up for it when the manager noticed what he was doing and stopped him. The manager apologized to me and said they received numerous calls yesterday about it and decided to check in to it and found that they have to hold off on selling it for now.
So basically if I hadn't said anything here yesterday & didn't post my store's info I could have had a GN today.
----------------------------------
I got a call from my local Best Buy Mobile just now telling me that they have the phone in stock now and are selling it tomorrow. They said they have one set a side for me.

Well I hope you get it! I have to wait til the end of Jan for my upgrade

I just called like 5 best buys in my state, one said to call back in the morning on the other 4 said they have it but no release date

the call was from this store:
Best Buy Mobile
2525 El Camino Real
Carlsbad, CA
(760) 730-3946
as I stated, they told me the phone is in stock, 1 set a side for me & I can pick it up tomorrow.

willing to bet that they're going to be in a boatload of trouble if you do get one..

Hope this is true, but I doubt it will end up happening.

It's true. The BBM at my local store confirmed this with his DM this afternoon.

haha i just called your store and they said that they have it but won't be selling it tomorrow!

Just got off the phone 30 min ago with Verizon. Rep told me that she just heard tonight that it was going to be out tomorrow!

Im in Colorado Springs they have 5 at both stores and will be selling them tomorrow.

Just got off the phone with your store and they said that they were going to sell it tomorrow but they found out the date was pushed back. They said they are trying to figure out whats going on and to call back later. I am on the phone with verizon and the lady said it will be out tomorrow! I am so exited for it to finally be released!

Weird just got off the phone with a Verizon rep said its been delayed
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I really think they need to tell all the Reps the same thing, because it does not help the rumors if they are telling us all different days. I guess all we can do is wait ill tomorrow and see if they end up releasing it. Keep your fingers crossed!

I called and they said they're just canceling the phone. Sorry guys.

I just facebook messaged a friend of mine who works for Best Buy mobile and this is what he told me:
"We don't have it but Verizon has it I heard"
I am pretty sure no one in that store knows anything about cell phones since I quit last month. If this indeed does end up coming out at Best Buy tomorrow I know what I will be doing on my lunch break!

I went to Costco in Fountain Valley, CA today and they said they have them in but cannot sell them yet. They won't know until tomorrow and he'll give me a call.

T-Mobile Is playing games with me

Okay So I went in on the 22nd to see if I could get my hands on a Galaxy S3 since I heard the 21st was the release date and they told me, "Only two stores in the city (Houston Texas) got it and the rest of the stores wnt get them untill the 27th" So I was like cool, understandable... Then I asked if there was a waiting list, or if i could put half down... and she said "No its a first come first serve basis its not like the iphone or anything just come early you'll be able to get one" So i call that store again today and they tell me that there IS a waiting list and there are 15 people now ahead of me... (The b*tch will hear it from me later this evening) and they get the phones in shipments of about 10. And now as Im calling around my city NO ONE has the WHITE variant... they said they havent even seen it... I called like 20 different stores and 3 have said they had the white one and the rest of them havent even received it... some said the white one wont come for another 3 weeks WTF is going on!??! IDK what to do.. can somebody in Houston give me suggestions on getting a white galaxy s3 in a timely manner.. ive put my name on several lists around the city already and im just finding out some of the lists only have the blue... what do I do?!?! and what were the two stores that had them? PLEASE HELP!!!

What do you do? You wait until someone has the white version. No one here can really do anything for you.

Order online!! Received white in 4 days. Ordered on sat, received on Tuesday. Can't beat it!
Took it into my local T-Mobile store and they were drooling because they haven't seen the white version yet.

So you have the phone.. and made this thread today.. so this thread has no point?

You will get your device. Clearly there is more demand than supply. I would order online and wait your turn. The only other option would be to try Costco or Walmart.

Yeah dude order online, its a lot easier. I ordered Thursday at launch and got it this past Tuesday via UPS ground. No worth all the hassle driving around and looking for one IMO

No I dont have it, you misread the story. I was wondering if one of my friends at XDA, who happens to reside in Houston, knows a hotspot that May carry a Ton of them... Where Online do I order it? The T-Mobile Store? They are ALL out of stock.. I may Resort to camping out at the Galleria. lol That would suck... I just want a white one iim frustrated because nobody has given me constant information. the sales reps are poorly informed and it varies from store to store.. some store only got two while other stores got 10 smh!

Where on their site does it say theyre out of stock? Link? I ordered this morning and it didnt say anything about being out of stock

I went through the same thing as you only I didn't have a woman panic like you. I just called T-Mobile and ordered it over the. I got the 32GB in white. I received it 3 4 days later. In my case though, I had to do it over the phone because I wanted the 32GB on an installment plan, which the website was not being very kind to me. And in my area, every store tells me they will never have the 32GB in store, they tell that's on online thing only. LOL? Most in store reps have no clue what they are talking about. One time one told me the one s was running "the android iOS system" lol. And I had them repeat and they did 3 times. Of course it was a woman.

Note II in short supply here

Went real early to my AT&T store here in St.Louis...and was told their shipment was still inbound...and most of all the other AT&T stores around here have none or only 1 or 2 to sell today...
Man...what a lousy way to do things for a launch day on a product...Someone screwed up big time...
Mac

seems like every store here has 20 (im in miami). I kinda regretted preordering

I wish I had pre-ordered, but I didn't think I was going to want it initially until I played with it at a local store. I have called over 30 stores in the NYC area (time to kill today). None of the manhattan stores have any. I have found a few in Brooklyn with white. Not titanium to be found.
I'll either wait till Best Buy has it or I'll wait till the next shipment.

I stopped by a Rogers store in Calgary yesterday and they told me that Rogers has only received 20 for the whole city so far! That is for a city with a population of 1.1M??? Very sad Samsung. You will never beat Apple this way!!

I don't know if this is Samsung's fault completely. It seems like Sprint here in America has them in stock all over the place, but I can't find them at AT&T. Perhaps Rogers and AT&T didn't order enough?

This is likely the case. Samsung hasn't listed any shortages of the note 2 and many Asian carriers got this phone by the droves. Sprint stores have a crap ton around Atlanta GA, but ATT stores have around 20ish (checked 2 stores) so it seems to be carrier orders that were low and not Samsung shipments.
Curiously ATT has had more growth in Online purchases than Sprint, so they may be trying to find a good balance between not over/under ordering at physical stores and relying on online purchases for the bulk of their shipments. I ordered mine from ATT online. Just thinking out loud.

I went to the Fenton store on Friday. They had 4.
With 6 people in queue in front of me, I asked the girl who checked me in if anyone else was there for the Note 2. She said no and agreed to grab one for me and check me out since I was buying it off contract.
I told her that there was another guy waiting on one (who I had met while wandering the store waiting). Hopefully he got his too!

Nassau New York, none of the AT&T stores have any yet...everyone I called kept telling me to call back in a few hours to see if the they got the shipment in. I got mine at a small non-corporate store on Friday, so if anyone around here is looking check out those little guys.

What about cases? They basically had only the flip cover last week.

Cleveland AT&T store had a bunch of them - I got the first one, straight out of the shipping box. I was the only one getting one that morning. It's strange how good AT&T is around here in terms of speed and everything, given what a medium market we are - must be the holdover corporate presence they've had here for years.

AT&T Note 2 on backorder

i ordered my Note 2 from AT&T on Monday (straight off their website) and apparently it's on backorder.
anyone here have any experience with their shipping system? this is my first time ordering a phone off their website, and definitely my first time on backorder with them. was curious how long i should expect to wait before seeing my phone.

I ordered mine from a Premier phone rep. She said it was back ordered, but it shipped the next day.

i ordered it online because none of the stores in my area had it in stock on monday (closest one that had it in stock was 80 miles away). i called around and asked. guess i'll just have to wait and see how long it takes.
i was checking for the white version, btw. i'm kind of deadset on it, just prefer the way it looks by far over the grey.

I ordered on Saturday the 24th and was told it was in stock, then I called yesterday and they told me it was on back order, I got so mad at them for telling me one thing, and it was not true. Just an FYI the online matched the in store price for me. On black Friday my local att store was having buy a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 for 300 get the note #2 for 50.00 or a SG3 for free. I took the SG3 and sold it, and called the online division and asked if they would use my upgrade and sell me the note 2 for 50.00 and after getting the ok from his boss I am getting the Note 2 for 50. Can't wait to get it hope it is not on back order to long
Just got an email tonight at 7:25 pm Eastern Item has Shipped and mine is White as well so hang in there its on the way

I've been checking my local stores 2 or 3 times a week since launch, but haven't managed to get one yet. I did find one in stock last week, but when I got to the store, the line was out the door and I didn't feel like waiting.
At this rate, it sounds like I might as well just wait for the Note 3.
----edit----
Okay, finally nabbed one tonight. 1 hr, 15 min wait though.

walk into your local ATT or Best Buy and purchase it, take it home with you same day.

Wow these things must be selling well!

I noticed when i got mine a couple weeks ago they were sold out online, and it showed most stores around here as out or limited quantity, at least with the white one, only one store around here actually said "in stock" and thats where I got it.

well, after my third phone call to AT&T about this i was informed that the phone is NOT on backorder, the fulfillment center has my order in their system and is still processing it.
there is nothing they can do to expedite the process, they said check again on Monday and if it hasn't shipped by then call customer service yet another time.
how hard is it to package a phone and ship it off, seriously?

Walmart Wireless.com Order
I purchased my SN2 from Walmart wireless.com today for $299.99 with a $100 e-gift card and no tax. My shipping status shows awaiting inventory and before I ordered it there was a message saying it could take up to two weeks. I guess I will just wait and see what happens. From my research all of the other retailers in the area have the phone in stock or just got it in stock expect for Walmart. I am sure this is due to the $100 gift card. Anyone else order from Walmart wireless.com?

Its in stock
I just ordered on wed 28th and got on 30th. ATT overnighted for free. keep caling.

Just join the forum, I want to add you can check stock of the Note II in you area by going to att website and select the Note II, it was out of stock as of last night for my area.

Weird. I literally walked into an AT&T store yesterday and grabbed one, no wait or anything.
