At this point I have exhausted all options. I have contacted every possible department with Sprint to try and confirm if they will be carrying the Carbon Grey. I do not understand how a company has no idea if they will be carrying a specific color. I want to grab the phone, and have been holding out on ordering as I want to see if the Carbon Grey is coming. If it isn't, I would just go and get the glacier silver, but if the carbon grey is on the way then I will wait. Anyone have any information if they will in fact have it eventually?
Probably will be in a few months after sales start to decline for the glacial silver. No source, just thinking from their perspective

I'm pretty sure that glacial silver is the only color ever coming to the Sprint and Verizon variants.

Well that stinks! If that is the case I may just run out and grab it then. So disappointed that this cannot be confirmed by anyone at Sprint. I will be so mad if I buy this phone and 2 days later they announce carbon grey!!!

TMo will only have silver as well, so the only way to get a carbon gray in the US in the foreseeable future is to buy the unlocked one from HTC.

I chatted with HTC and t-mobile. T-mobile said they will be carrying all 3 colors when it launches tomorrow on May 18th. Take it with a grain of salt though as I am sure no one has any idea. HTC said when more stock is available of the gray, they will open it up to more sales locations. As you can see on HTC's website, the unlocked gray is backordered.
One thing you may want to consider if you're going to use a case for your phone, you won't be able to see the color of the phone for as long as you have the case on unless you get a clear case. I waited to get the Harman kardon edition of the m8 and for the first months it was cool but after that I never took it out of the case so color really didn't matter. Just my experience, you don't have to agree.

If anyone finds out that carbon grey will be coming please post! I am so ready to upgrade!

yep, amazon is right, but rest of the on line store get some high price.
Haha if it was inc. vat i would have already ordered It's a shame everything has tax They could at least take it off of the phones for us techy's
That is a price drop. I canceled my order two days ago and told them straight it was because Handtec was cheaper. Interesting..
Isnt the deal modaco has better? As its what maybe 15/20£ more exspensive but has a fair bit of extra goodies?
Getting the cheapest deal is not always the right choice.
I'd rather purchase my hardware from someone whom I trust and know should there be a problem they are only a phone call away and there to offer assistance.
Funnily enough it's the same name as the OP mentions... Clove Tech.
I've known Chris Love for nigh on 20yrs now and know although he sells hardware each of his customers are at the front of his continued commitment.
It's a family business with a strong sense of family values for it's customer base.

Yes, I think colour is all part of the phones aesthetics, and all I can seem to find mentioned colour wise is dark brown, although a lot of the pictures of prerelease devices seem to show them in black.
So unless I can get it confirmed that it will be black, I will have to look at something else (maybe just a HD2 with the Desire HD rom for a good chunk less money).
Might seem a little silly to some people, but I don't think brown looks very good on any electrical device.
Fair enough. The link above lists the DHD as black. It even has some pictures of the back. So maybe HTC is shipping black and brown versions after all.

Will have to wait and see, my preferred e-tailer (Amazon) couldn't state at this point whether the ones they'd receive would be black or brown, if they are mixed, or brown, I sure hope they change the pictures of the black device on their website.
To me the front is almost black, cause the screen ocuppies almost the total front area.
The back is most dark brown, but for the back I don't care much
As the phone has a 'unibody' design, the brown colour had to be applied. So it should not be beyond the wit of man, with the use of masking tape and a spray gun, to make it whatever colour rocks your boat...
Isn't a DHD a "Dial Home Device" anyway? Can't go stealing established TLAs for new devices....
Anyone got any official confirmation on the new 6th Oct release date?
handtec is receiving stock on the 4th Obctober
Just had an e-mail from Clove about the colour:-
It will be in Graphite which is a nice colour (v similar to Desire)
Back orders are strongly recommended as demand is very strong

I work at Best Buy Mobile and we had an Employee News article go through our systems about a week or two ago that literally read "White Evos Lost In Bermuda Triangle." The article went on to say that they weren't really lost in the Bermuda Triangle, but to not expect any replenishment on White Evo stocks for the foreseeable future. Don't wait around for one, they aren't coming any time soon.
I would let her have mine for the right compensation

I work at Best Buy, and I cannot even get one. The whole state of Florida is pretty much out of them, and they are discontinued.
So don't bother expecting to get one with an upgrade. It's better to just buy one on eBay.
Let your co worker know white evo isn't too far from black one.
Screen and frame portion is black just like the regular black evo.
Only white portion is the battery cover and the small portion of plastic on the back.
It's far from white iPhone and black one.
Thanks so much.
She's pretty much resigned to the fact that none are to be found, but, I knew that if any were to be found, this would be the place to look.
Is she hot??
Actually sprint is going to resell the white evo in November. Probably after the galaxy tab goes on sale which is on the 14.

Evo LTE fiasco...
Basically the launch delay due to shipments being held by US Customs (due to Apple infringement claim). As they were gradually let out, Sprint had first pick at them while third-parties (like Wirefly) were way down on the list. Don't know when their customers finally got them (I ended up cancelling). Learned my lesson! Not saying that you'll have the same experience, but since this is limited quantities, know that Wirefly will get the left-overs.

That is why I put "preordered FOR" and not "preordered FROM". Some people may get it from an AT&T store, some Best Buy, Some from HTC but that part isn't all that relevant.(for this poll).
The poll is also open until the 18th. If Tmobile doesn't offer it before that from them than it is not a pre-order .
Keep the votes coming guys! I know more people preordered than this .

I would be more concerned that you ordered the Black one for Sprint. The black version is not in the SKU system for Best Buy and it is not available directly from Sprint for preorder and they do not have the slightest clue when the black one will be released. (Expect end of May or June)

Was pretty disappointed in this as well. Ordered the silver from htc.com when it first became available this morning.
I suspect they limited colors due to concerns about demand. I imagine that they will eventually make the other colors available if you can wait. I wanted either silver with the white front or gold.
I have been waiting years for this phone from HTC and I am so incredibly disappointed with how they and Sprint have handled this release that I'm probably just going to write both of them off permanently. Pretty obvious even to us non-marketing folks that if you want to move product you need to have product available...and you can't force everyone into one model, or one color, and expect to do well. Sorry HTC and Sprint but my patience has run out and I honestly don't think I care anymore, there are plenty of other great options available.

Anyone seen it available in any of the stores yet?
Sprint is clueless regarding this launch. I have been trying to purchase the phone since early early this morning. Website would not let transaction process as others described. I had an appointment at a Sprint store...not one person could confirm when or even if Sprint will carry the Carbon Grey. So pathetic. I called sales and even they have no clue. They only mention that they have Glacier Silver and cannot confirm if they will ever have Carbon Grey. How does no one in that company have any details?
