Best Buy Details

No call as of yet. I have only received one call from BB so far and it was far after others were getting calls of delays - and it was that the phone still wasnt in. That call came in the late afternoon/early evening so I am thinking if I get one it will be then again.

Never received a call from BB. Only got the mass email sent out a few days ago.
 
Well, I'm a happy camper :) - I just saw the Wirefly FB posting and decided to tempt fate and call my BB I preordered from - the mobile dept was busy so the girl at the front desk was like "ummm we haven't heard anything yet" - "Thank you useless girl <3" lol

I then called a store down the street and spoke to the mobile manager there. She confirmed her Verizon rep was in today and stated that yes, the phone would be for sale both at Verizon and Best Buy on Thursday, March 17th :) She said all preorders should be getting a second email or a phone call starting tomorrow.

Sweet :D
 
I got a call about an hour ago from the Best Buy I preordered from, basically giving the same old speech about still being on the list and we'll let you know when it comes in. But she did say that they were hearing that Thursday the 17th may be the day, but that it was not confirmed. The way she said it made it sound like they've been reading and following the same info we've seen come out the last couple days, so I'm skeptical that her speculating the 17th is based on anything more than what is already known and out there. So nothing too revealing here, just an update that Best Buy still has no release info and is not scheduling pickup times for preorders yet (at least for the one I'm going to).

Jay will no doubt have better info coming here soon.... which btw, thanks for all the info you've been putting out there through all this.
 
Just got back from BB and the guy there seemed to be a little more in the know than your average employee. As we were talking, he texted some contact of his at VZW and was told there was no official word yet. He also said that when a new phone comes in, their daily budget skyrockets a couple of days before than that this had not happened yet.

Jay any insight on the daily budget thing?
 
lol@ daily budget. Please tell me this was actually a manager and not just the average guy that sits in the phone section.
 
I hope bb gets info tomorrow, I am first at my bb and today when I called they didn't know anything. So hopefully the announcement tomorrow will get everything moving and I can schedule my time to go in, Thursday morning at 10
