USA: The HTC Evo 3D is now available for pre-order at Best Buy


For those who are eagerly waiting for the successor to the popular HTC Evo, the HTC Evo 3D is now available for pre-order at Best Buy. Best Buy did not announce this fact but tech blogs got a hold of a letter to employees informing them that if customers ask for the HTC Evo 3D they should tell them that it is available for pre-order. Head over the break to read the said letter.

Are Customers Asking for the Sprint EVO 3D?
Although dates and details are very limited on this device, there are some customers willing to wait. As always, we encourage customers to choose from Best Buy Mobile’s phenomenal phone selection and pair it with the Buy Back program. However, we realize some customers either aren’t ready to upgrade or are willing to wait until the unconfirmed launch date.Therefore…we are “quietly” opening the Sprint EVO 3D pre-sale (SKU 2612225), starting this Monday, May 2.
What CAN we say: The HTC EVO 3D, the first glasses-free 3D 4G device, is coming “this summer” to Best Buy.
What CAN’T we say: Anything from the blogs or unofficial sources. Much of this is unreliable and could mislead customers. Inevitably, customers will find this information and it is acceptable to be aware of it, but do not share said information with customers as factual.
What CAN we do: Starting May 2, Best Buy Mobile will begin reserving product through the pre-sale process. Click here for the generic flyer.
What CAN’T we do: Do NOT actively promote this pre-sale until it’s formally announced. Do NOT create signage and drive customers towards this pre-sale. This is meant to capture only those customers coming into our stores inquiring about the EVO 3D who otherwise are not purchasing another phone today. In other words, if a customer asks, you can tell him or her about the pre-sale. Otherwise, mum’s the word.

So there you have it guys. That is very clear! Best Buy did there best in quietly making the phone available for pre-order but I think they failed on that. Oh well, this is good news for eager buyers.
