Walmart to sell Evo for $199.99 sans rebate

http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2010/06/02/walmart-feeling-the-evo-4g-hype-to-sell-the-superphone-for-199-sans-mail-in-rebate/
another source for those that weren't able to pre-order. good luck!!

I hate seeing people with there pants around there knees. Lol, it's funny how people think it's cool/ fashionable. Especially when you are in prison it means you can be a female for a guy lol

there's a friend of the family who's a cop and i asked him about it. he said he loves it when people breaking the law have saggy pants. he doesn't have to chase them far

In the other side, would be nice if the girls use saggy pants but without the boxers uh?

i dunno, i could see some unfortunate outcomes with that plan

I guess there is a positive to every negative.
But i still think its nasty to see that.
This is why i couldn't work in a store lol. Someone came up to me with his pants like that i would laugh and ask if he was serious or was it a prank show. Then get fired for it

Guys, I'm bummed by this and the articles on Android Central and Android Phone.
I've called 4 Super Centers now and NO ONE knows anything about this phone.
Further more they ALL have stated that they do NOT carry sprint ANYTHING in their stores?
Going to check more info somehwere.
So Chicago 'burbs....ur out of luck !

You are going to have a difficult time finding a store that sells Sprint service/phones. Most stores do not carry anything Sprint at all, so you've just got to keep trying to call different stores to find one that does.

I am in the same boat. Dell and AT&T are taking too long to give me any info on release a release date, and AT&T has yet to acknowledge the phone even exist by the way. So I am going with the Captivate as well. It also looks more promising as it will have a giant community to back it up. Plus Samsung is going to release the phone's source code something Dell has yet to do.

Riiggghhhhttt.... I've been following the Streak since it was first seen in December 2009. They've totally blown any PR for this device.
As for Samsung updates - the Captivate has already been rooted and it hasn't even been released! Are you daft? You're a "senior member" on this board and you're going to try to use "software updates" as a detterent? That's what this whole damned site is for! I've loaded so many custom ROMs on my phones from this site it's crazy! Your statements are just plain stupid.

Another thing stupid about the software updates comment - the Streak is shipping with 1.6! At least the Captivate ships with 2.1!
Now tell me, who's going to be waiting on software updates? Maybe you were one of the people that got burned on the Behold 2? By a piece of sh*t, no matter who you buy it from, and you get what you pay for.

Dude shut up, you sound like a b***h you are making us look bad infront of our brothers and sisters across the pond . ATT is not going to over lap two major phone releases. The Galaxy S phone is coming sunday (I think). Dell Streak is the next big release phone on ATT or TMO or both. The release date and more info could be coming out probably next week. ATT is not going to cut the head off of Galaxy S sales either so you are probably looking at a mid Aug release its just common sense if you think about it. Stop whinning and talk about how badarse Lock Stock and two smoking barrels is.

Not sure if its better to be an early tester with all the bugs or have to wait with nothing but a more polished product.
I am QUITE jealous though of O2's deal where the streak is FREE with a 2 yr contact at $25/mo?! Nothing nearly good when it comes to the states

well, it's 25 pounds, actually -- and that is data only. For a data and voice contract, it's £35 -- which is over $50 per month!

Sorry dumb American forgetting to convert currency =P
Still even at $50/mo for a FREE Streak thats an amazing deal compared to anything in America. We will have to either buy it subsidized for $199 and pay $70/mo for 2 yrs or buy it unlocked for $500 and pay $50/mo anyways
America cell phone carriers suck

May I ask that it will be possible to buy it simfree/unbranded from Hong Kong for the first launches? I hope HTC will keep it's words and start selling this in November as they told.

Hopefully November, anyways I already ordered from Clove ... I believe the cost difference wont be much

i've asked this htc sale's person from funan's AAA's -
She said that it's like 22nd onwards that the phone will start selling.
Idk how true man.
Keep our fingers crossed.
Nov is a long wait to be honest.
24 hours each day
LOL

so it's oct or nov 22nd onwards?

around oct 22 should be.
So unfair uk gets it first.
It's a taiwan brand isn't it.

Yeah, as I told before, it's so odd that a Taiwan company starts to launch and sell first it's new devices apart from Asia.
It's like Steve Job makes to launch new Iphone in China Anyway I am checking Hong Kong simfree retail sellings on a daily basis because a friend of mine will visit Hong Kong between November 16-20, that's my only luck. I am praying that Desire HD will be in shops in until then

Just make sure he does visits the right part of HK.
Idk, but i've been to the wrong places to shop.
Wasted my trip.
back to the topic.
Yes! it's sad that htc sells it to UK first.
Ah well it's kay.
Just a few days difference.
Though i really want it now!

I guess you are an expert about that Is there any spesific shop name that you can advise me to buy a simfree HTC?
A friend told me so :
Just go to any major retail chain - Fortress and Broadway are both good choices. Time Sqaure in Causeway Bay is a good place to start, but you should be able to find them just about anywhere.

Hi vbn,
I think you still need to settle the 7% GST tax when it arrives in Singapore Customs before the DHL guy delivers it to you.

Samsung Galaxy Note launch in London tomorrow.

Time
03 November · 12:30 - 14:30
Location
The Carphone Warehouse
272-274 Oxford Street
London, United Kingdom
I guess this is the UK launch for sim free and contract phones, (rather than the EU phones that us early adopters have got).

Did it matter if you got there at 7am or did the people who arrived at 12:30pm get the same deals?
What sort of competition was it to win the £10k worth of bits.....and did they win them there and then?
Was it well attended?

They were giving Notes as prizes too. Anyone on here win one?

Hi Mate
Did you get my PM?

550k S8s ordered in two days

Not sure if this is a good or bad thing but I saw this earlier:
http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/samsung-galaxy-s8-pre-orders-hit-550000-in-two-days
I'm going to start calling BS on this article and others like it. All the stories I've read so far have been quoting "numbers" but all of their sources are directly from Samsung (press releases?). There's very little they offer in terms of third-party accounting of how many devices have been sold. I'll be happy to be proven wrong, but this just sounds much too much like the tech press fawning all over itself to report publicity numbers and never verify anything.
If Theranos wasn't proof enough that the tech press doesn't seem to mind quoting nothing more than press releases and fawning over the CEOs with absolutely no proof of the actual story, then unless they can provide actual corroboration from third-part of carrier sales, this isn't real.

When I placed my order the rep on the phone told me she'd had very few orders for the device.

They (Samsung) could be seeding the story with false numbers just to make sales jump. If you imagine a thing is in demand, you may well go and buy that said thing because you see it as a thing others want.
It's a thing.

What concerns me about this is, if i recall correctly, the fine print on the free Gear VR with preorder said that there was a limit of 350k units for the promotion.

Here in Australia pre-orders have outsold the supply of Gear VR but Samsung is honouring the deal but is advising that there is a 3 to 4 week delay on the bonus item. I work for a retailer here and its so far been the largest phone pre-order in our history. Samsung isnt making it up.

I saw the same and it concerned me. Surely there are more than 350k pre-orders in the US, let alone people without a pre-order who try to buy a device day one. There will be a lot of phones getting into people's hands next week, how long before that 350k units is gone?
I ended up swithcing my pre-order to Samsung.com. Automatic enrollment, and the stuff ships with the phone instead of waiting. No risk of not getting it.
