The hot white HTC EVO 4G isn't set to be released at Best Buys across the country until July 11th, but some stores are receiving their devices early.  Engadget has received several tips from users saying that units are already showing up in stores five days before release.  If I were one of the pre-orderers waiting on a white EVO, I'd definitely be near my phone for the next couple of days.  You may get lucky and get a call to pick up your device earlier than everyone else.

It's always a surprise when a handset lands in a store or a customer's hands early, but manufacturers can't always control what a shipping company is going to do.  Still, when it happens, it works out great for almost everyone.  We get an early look at a handset, potential buyers can hear some impressions before purchasing a device; it's a win-win!  So, have any of you pre-ordered the white EVO?

UPDATE: Engadget has confirmed that some Best Buys are letting white EVOs go early and have received some unboxing shots of the device.
