HTC Evo 4G Preorders Available At BestBuy

Earlier, Best Buy announced that the HTC Evo 4G, which was officially introduced by Sprint earlier, is now available for preorder from Best Buy stores effective immediately. It looks like the preorder is available strictly at Best Buy retail locations and not online at BestBuy.com, at least for now.

The email makes no mention of the mandatory $10 monthly Evo usage fee that we reported on earlier, which is a sure recipe for some surprised and possibly not very happy customers about to head to Best Buy.

There was also no mention of how exactly the deal is going to be handled, though from our past experience, Best Buy will most likely substitute any mail-in rebates with instant credits and take a $50 preorder deposit in the form of a Best Buy gift card.



The email received after preordering can be found below:
