Best Buy Details

JustinHEMI said:
OK, because I feel bad for the guy getting dumped on, I called all 3 stores in the Pittsburgh area (closest to me). I am providing store's and phone numbers for others to confirm. Here is what I got;

430 Home Dr
Pittsburgh, PA 15275
Phone: 412-490-2080

- Told me 24th.



5000 Alicia Dr
Bethel Park, PA 15102
Phone: 412-835-1255

- Told me 28th (about 3 minutes ago).


4801 Mcknight Rd
Pittsburgh, PA 15237
Phone: 412-635-6110

- Told me 26th "last he heard" about 2 minutes ago.


So, I think we ought to lighten up on tech.

What we ought to do is stop listening to best buy, period. They don't seem to have any clue as to what is going on, and until we hear an official announcement from htc or verizon, just relax and hope it is sooner than later.

I give credit to Jay for bringing what proof he has, but his info is no better than any of the people I just spoke to, frankly.

I also apologize for the bold, I can't turn it off, I don't know why. LOL

How's the battery life so far? Will the extended battery fit?

No, I get that, what I am saying is that simply because best buy put it in their ad, doesn't amount to proof of release.

Out of curiosity, I did ask one of the people I spoke with that if it being in the ad means that if they have it in stock, they will sell it. They said no, they won't sell it until they are told they can.

Like I said, I appreciate what you have brought here, but an ad is meaningless, really. Things change, just like the small print says. I am hoping it didn't, and that it does come out as early as monday, but it is quite possible that it won't. You should at least acknowledge that.

So yeah.

The ad wasnt the first thing I posted. I posted a picture from our RSS(Stock) system with the in-stock date of the phone.

It guys by each individual best buy, but for the most part if there is no street date in RSS, and nothing in our employee news, we'll see it the minute it's in the door.

Trust me, I hope you're right. I am just getting the sinking feeling since now I heard with my own ears 3 different dates from 3 different best buys.

Oh hey, that's where I am pre-order #7!
(They told me yesterday the 24th as well.)
 
i think we r all just wrapped up in the anxiety and frustration of the TB being released... yea, take it with a grain of salt and take it for what its worth but in the end we r only playing it off of what we see (proof of docs from jay), what we've heard from BB being updated with the latest info from their reps, and no announcements from VZW themselves
 
Everyone in this thread needs to calm down before it gets closed. Why all the flaming? We all want the phone and right now there is NO SOLID RELEASE DATE. Vzw could send word to best buy not to sale untill october if they wanted to. A picture only shows where things stand right now. Do you know how many times this device and its release has changed since last october? Until vzw releases a launch date it is all speculation.

I literally just got off the phone with Century III.

She said "Last I heard, and its not official, is the 28th. But that isn't even definite."

So that is 2/4 stores in our area saying 28th, 1 at 26th, and 1 at 24th.

I hope ours is right.

I hope Jay is more right.
 
we've all heard different dates... ive heard as early as the 20th, 21st, 24th (jay) and the 28th (from all the BB stores i contacted today)

The one in Monaca, PA told me "sometime next week".
 
For what it's worth.... I called up several Best Buys and Verizon wireless corporate stores and everyone I spoke to said the TB will be released on the 21st aka Monday. This is regarding the greater New Orleans area.
