Were you one of the thousands upon thousands of Sprint-faithful customers who lined up in the early hours on June 4th to be one of the first people at your local sprint store to purchase your precious EVO 4g? Well if you were, you helped break the Palm Pre's record for fastest selling Sprint phone on launch day. You may now pat yourself on the back. To read the rest of how proud of itself Sprint is, check out their press release.
Of course one person's gain, is another's peril. The incredible launch-day-success of the EVO has subsequently led to shortages in 22,000 sales locations across the country. So if you decided to sleep in on June 4th, odds are pretty good that you missed out, and quite possibly are still waiting for your EVO. As you would expect, Sprint and HTC are doing everything they can to get these technological bundles-of-joy into stores… Even doing daily deliveries.
So bravo Sprint, bravo… You've got yourself a winner. Now it'll be interesting to see how many start popping up with dead pixels.
