EVO3D isn't showing up when I go to pick a phone after completing the info from the ERP link. Are they not offering the EVO3D for new ERP customers?

Just called them to check on my order confirmation status, because I never received an email. It was processed but they are basically all out and the ship time right now is 2-5 days, but it might not get shipped out for awhile. I ordered a few hours after everyone else was saying they were, so they sold out fast.

Today it's only available for Premier Silver and Gold customers. If you're a new customer (EPRP or otherwise), there's no way you can get it until Friday since you can't be a Premier customer out of the gate.

I'm not getting a 3D as I just got my Shift. I'm just chiming in to say I got my system update message today for Android :)

I also discovered something pretty lovely. You can't change the account for Google Talk without resetting the phone to factory settings. Since we switched our email system at work to gmail, I was hoping to change my account to that one. I guess calendar is the same way but I used it for the first time with my work email, so that's good.

Let me know how the update for the shift is please. My fiance got it and her shift has gone to poo poo since the update. Really frustrating.

When did you put in your order if you don't mind me asking?

I put mine in at about 8am CST today (21st) and am wondering if I am to expect a delivery tomorrow.

My Epic was delivered the following day but because I have an extra chromosome I forgot to put my apartment number in my address on my account so it took 2 days.

Hopefully they ship out of KC. That's like 3 hours drive from Omaha even at geezer speeds.

Sprint cares called me this morning to let me know I could order them. I had been working with them over the past week to get the free airave and both my lines to full early upgrade for the Evo3deez. I think it was around 8am EST when they called? I was going to have duckman2008 do the deal for me, but when the sprint cares guy said he could have them to me before friday I collapsed like a sissy. (I still feel like a cock face duckman :D)

I will say that the experience with Sprint cares has been one of the best customer service deals I have ever done. After dealing with Volkswagen of America for the past 2 years on my piece of poo poo GTI, this was like going to Wonkas Chocolate Factory and enjoying a gum drop smile while oompa loompas serviced my cock and balls. I will be sticking with Sprint for many more years to come. Do never buy a Volkswagen, seriously.

My airave took almost 2 hours before the mobile light became solid. Went from 0-1 bars on 1x, to full bars 3g in my house!

I currently have a Blackberry with them that serves me OK. But honestly, the only phones worth having besides Androids are iPhones (and even that's debatable), which are AT&T and Verizon only. Why would you subject yourself ever to the awful Microsoft UI?

I may be assuming incorrectly, but it may be like printing a USPS label - the system registers the tracking number at the time of printing but no info is there until it gets scanned by the shipper. E.g. Sprint's shipping posse printed the label, slapped it on a box, and 3 hrs later, UPS scanned it into their system. Sprint registers that and posts the tracking number at that point.

I assume if they posted it at the time of printing it would just upset people who check it and see something like "Check back later."

UPS plans on getting my phone from Louisville, KY to Omaha in a timeframe less than 20 hours or so. At least, I hope it's less then 20 hours or so. I leave for work at 5:30PM and I'm hoping to be able to at least activate the drat thing before that.

I should ask a UPS goon if they keep records of in-person-delivery (e.g. signature required delivery) times to better tailor deliveries to times when a recipient is actually at home. I had left a note on a door tag a while back asking them to deliver earlier, they've been dropping by in the late morning/early afternoon ever since. I recall quite a few being in their KS (Lenexa?) hub and piping up in some GBS thread.

Fedex, however, gives no fucks. Their response to me when I called and asked was "It'll get there when it gets there" in a nutshell - obviously it wasn't that classless, but that was the gist of it. I wasn't asking a driver to make a detour in the middle of his route, I was asking them a number of days prior to a delivery as I'd had door tags from them left at times like 8PM. Just put it on a morning truck in the area and I'll be happy to wake up at 8AM after working until 2:30AM as long as I get my poo poo. Learned that their warehouse was about 10 minutes from me, so I have since just been telling them to leave it at the facility and I'll pick it up on my way to work.

WebOS is sadly dead, Blackberry obviously is a worse option than your Pre, get the Arrive dude. I honestly really like it.

Got my tracking number. Unfortunately, Sprint hosed up both taking down my address on the web AND confirming it on the phone. My company name / suite # were both cut off and the address itself was copied twice. I know I didn't enter it into the web that way, and I ESPECIALLY know I didn't read it back to them on the phone that way...

Anyone know what UPS does when they have a delivery to an office park with multiple suites but no suite #?

Official UPS policy is that the driver gets to take your stuff home!

But seriously I'm pretty sure you can contact Sprint and UPS and have the address changed mid-ship or have them hold it for you to pick up at the distribution center.

I'm pretty sure the rules are different for large companies like Sprint but for even business customers you cannot re-route packages until one delivery attempt has been made. I know Apple had made UPS delay packages or something one time when a hot new item was supposed to arrive before the release date.

I'm glad I got it shipped to where I'm currently staying for the summer because the system showed my address as:

#3HouseNumber StreetName

instead of

HouseNumber StreetName
#3

The driver would be "There is no 30,000 on this street" and send it back home.

I would do this but it's already "Out for delivery"...

It lists my address as:

City, State Zip

I had our secretary or whatever put a giant sign that says if it's for me, it's for our company on the mailbox. Hopefully that's enough.

For anyone getting their 3Deez today, can you comment on voice call quality, 3G speeds, and 4G speeds/time it takes to connect? Those were some of the issues in the Engadget review that I don't recall seeing directly refuted by other reviews, so I'm just curious.

A quick break in the 3deez action, here's a Google Voice FAQ, straight from Sprint!

Google Voice Questions and Answers

If yes is offering it for CL users being considered?
Corporately Liable user is being considered we are in the process of establishing an Opt in for qualified customers however development is required to facilitate this future capability.

Is Google Voice available to IL users who are attached to a hierarchy or are Government IL users?
Google voice is not available at this time for these types of users.

Can Google Voice be used for international outbound routing dialing while roaming abroad?
No - the trigger for Google Voice is available only via the Sprint CDMA network.

Well I haven't turned it on because i'm doing an online activation and that's easily done if you haven't turned it on. Initial impressions of the phones appearance are:

A lot thinner to I imagined/expected, but the biggest phone in terms of height and width that i've ever used.
The dedicated camera button and 3d toggle are so ugly.
It has a pleasant grain on the back and the hold button/power button is thin and wide and easy to use.
The camera facing feels like glass or something and gets smudged easily, but looks alright.
It has a really minimal design in the front. Lots of screen space and the bottom buttons occupy little space while the top HTC and Sprint logos occupy even less.

I just booted it up and activated it in you'll never guess how long.

It booted up in less then 10 seconds. Activated with Sprint in 15.

Edit: The new Sense UI is absurd. The one thing I was kind of apprehensive about was going back to Sense after using it on the Hero. I played with stock Android and kind of liked it.

This updated Sense UI is amazing. The big bottom bar that took up like half the screen? Gone. You can do calls/emails/texts/camera from the hold screen. There are 4 buttons on the bottom you can drag and drop onto the bottom circle and it opens that app up right away. That is amazingly useful.

Phone just got here too.

This thing feels SOLID. It's definitely taller and thinner than my Evo, and feels approximately the same weight. I love the feeling of the back, and the camera button is nice.

The camera button clicks in twice for me, which I think it's supposed to. It feels like there's two "levels" of clicking, each with a satisfying *click* noise.

Haven't turned it on yet because I have meetings. :(
