Writing the news story has proven difficult, so I just be as blunt as possible. The T608 will be released within a month, possibly as early as tomorrow. I am very hesitant about that date, but I do have reliable info that says that is the date. You will be able to order it online, and from telesales. You will be able to beg a Sprint Store rep to order it for you (probably). And if you phone dies, Sprint Stores will be able to order a replacement phone from Sprint HQ.
