    Rumor has it that will launch the same day as Verizon, not July 19th. Sprint is notorious with changing their release date though, so wait for official confirmation. No teasing this morning.
    lol, i get it

    WOW, a whole week early. I'm surprised, Sprint really came through. So which means delivery by the 14th.

    I'm not going to lie but when I saw the 20th, I was scared of being wrong. You can't too reliable that way. I feel good, but personally would had preferred Sprint making it $199 without the mail in rebate crap.

    Releasing it on a monday was the biggest clue. That wasn't going to happen, so either Sprint matches Verizon game plan or wait till the 19th. Sprint customers were still complaining about waiting a week, which is ridiculous but kinda justified. People should of complained about the mir instead.

    Yes when are going to see this thing in stores? And also the price will be $199.99 after rebates + MIR? I think I'm going to Best Buy. They can play with the prices even price match.

    In-store will probably get it about a week later. That's what happened last year when they released the Curve on Sprint. I had to get it through telesales on launch day.

    Sprint really seems like they want to stick it to Verizon. Announcing their price point first, and then matching Verizon's date.

    I had been with Sprint and left because of the horrid network/customer service I received from them, and while I was with them it seemed like the Tour was going to be at least a month off of the Verizon release.

    Most likely, the 20th. Supply and Demand wouldn't be as bad as waiting for the Palm Pre.

    I am hoping it will be on the 12th instead of the 20th. I am due for another International trip and have to be there on the 20th, which means I will have to use the old 8830WE for 2 months as Sprint won't ship the 9630 to an overseas address. I would sure like a new phone as the 8830 is showing it's age.

    Here is my problem with ordering via telesales or online. I had a return with in 30days and it messed up my upgrade status. I only show $75 but really it should be the full amount $150. I have been told the only way to get the $150 is to buy it in the store.

    Not sure why they just can't credit my account?

    I had the same thing happen to me. I had to email cust care to have my contract reversed back to its original end date after I had returned the Pre.
