Best Buy Details

ok thats good to know. I dont get my upgrade until late next month so i'd be pissed if I missed out on the $50 discount on the first couple days.
Now I wonder why anyone would want to buy one from BB after they raised the price.... what incentive would there be to pay more at BB then youd pay at a verizon store?

Yea i wouldn't even buy from BB and i work their lol. If i didn't get a discount, i'd be going to wirefly to pay full retail.
 
yeah my local best buy mobile people are ******ed. i called and asked about the 2 day sale price of 249.99 and she said that is the price you pay after using your 50 dollar preorder card. wow supposed to be 199 after using the preorder card for those two days. needles to say that was their last chance to get my business lol. going the corp stroe route still.

tthat is what mine is saying. YMMV. check with your local store. i haven't preordered yet so its not worth arguing with them for me.
 
guys have you not read the official best buy announcement. That is the local rep that dont hear anything until they hear it from a customer and have to research it a little. Relax the official announcement says its 249.99 until saturday the 19th and after that it is 299. All preorders will be 249. When I first reserved my thunderbolt the girl didn't even know what it was, so dont expect them to make an extra effort to stay informed.
 
I was at my vzw today just as they got them in. I was getting ready to ask about it and they pulled the first one out of the box which was the dummy phone and then the rep handed me the actual phone. I knw what you guys say on here about without pics you don't believe so I asked if I could take a pic of the 2 and was told no since I wasn't even suppose to be seeing them.
 
^^^^^ $99??? gotta be typo? How do I order????

EDIT: The $599 full retail price is wrong too .... and both errors happen to be the Inc's prices: $99/$599.

I'm taking that with me when I pick mine up. No way I'm spending that extra $50 if I don't have to.

Also, now that we have that confirmed, any word on 4G pricing?
 
Ok so here is my question, knowing my luck I look stupid because it's already been asked. lol Should I call BB and ask to set up an appt, or just wait and see if they call me? Also, I am buying 2 at full retail, will they want to activate it before I leave or can I just tell them to kick rocks I will do it myself? LOL I can't believe the wait is over, so sad that everyone will be going their seperate ways now. :(

I wouldn't worry about setting up an appointment, although some people consider dealing with BB like getting a prostate exam so who knows, maybe they'll want an appointment, but I doubt it. As far as activation, if you're paying full retail then Best Buy shouldn't worry about trying to activate the phone for you since that would be them trying to get extra $$ for signing you up for service. Once you pay full retail, you aren't obligated to sign any contract.
