Who says that nothing good ever comes out of a tragedy? Calling it one might be an exaggeration, but that’s probably how Sprint’s customers felt when they found the launch of the HTC Evo 4G LTE had been pushed back. Now that the debacle is almost behind us, in order to win back the hearts of many disappointed customers over the shipment delay of the HTC Evo 4G LTE, Sprint decided to ship an extra box to those who pre-ordered the phone and have been waiting for it to arrive at their doorsteps since May 18.
Inside the extra box is a gel cover for the HTC Evo 4G LTE. There’s also a note that says ”HTC and Sprint want to thank you for your patience as we know you have been anticipating the arrival of your new HTC Evo 4G LTE. Please accept this accessory as a small token of our appreciation and thanks.”

The nice gesture will be appreciated by
those who have pre-ordered the HTC Evo 4G LTE online, but those who
pre-ordered it through Sprint stores apparently haven’t received
confirmation of when they will get the phone, let alone the free gel
case. It seems whatever stocks Sprint has of the Evo 4G LTE are reserved
for those who pre-ordered the phone online and from Best Buy. We’ve
read numerous reports about people being able to pick up their
pre-ordered HTC Evo 4G LTE in Best Buy stores.
What do you think of Sprint’s decision to appease would-be owners of this device? Is it blatant brown-nosing? Is it just good business strategy? Drop us a comment below!
