Sprint has finally addressed the whole HTC EVO 4G LTE delay debacle today on their forum page. it simply confirms that YES it is stuck in US customs. Pre-ordered phones are put on hold, and the author of the post said that the pre-ordered phones will still arrive first. Question is, when? Friday was supposed to be the release of the phone and it is not looking good for that at all. Here is what was said:
HTC EVO 4G LTE availability
The U.S. availability of the HTC EVO 4G LTE has been delayed. HTC is working to resolve this issue and appreciates your patience as they work to get products into Sprint channels. We can’t provide specific timing for product availability at this time and we appreciate your patience as HTC works to get products on store shelves as soon as possible.
Now for those of you that pre-ordered the phone and want to cancel it, you will have to either refuse delivery or call for a return authorization kit. Sucks that you have to do that, so my suggestion is when you see someone walking around with an iPhone knock it out of their hands. Then run away screaming something random. It could be fun, and if we could get the entire Android community to do it, it would be epic.
