they obviously have not received the memo of it being released(which isn't their fault) if they are giving you such a far off release date they are obviously tired of being bombarded by people calling and asking 24/7(who can blame them?)
cut them a little slack broseph
Haha you don't know this store..
Does anyone know if BestBuy's "exclusive" actually extends to selling the phone as a "non-Verizon" retailer; or was that just an exclusive to advertise it 6 weeks early?
Or will we see this phone at Costco and other sources on Mar 17?

Question about BB policies: I called BB corporate, like some of you guys did, about getting free buy back program since it was available when I preordered. They are sending me a GC for $110. If I don't receive my GC by Thursday, what options do I have as far as paying for the TB Thursday with my CC and then getting the GC amount credited back to my CC when I receive it? Could I purchase it and bring it back within 14 days to get a price adjustment with my GC? I just don't to have a $110 GC laying around if possible.

You know what I find funny?...I've been following this thread since day 1 and if we had gotten the news we're getting today (regarding a likely Thursday release of the TB) 2-3 weeks ago, there would've been dozens more posts about how excited people are and half of the quasi-confirmation posts would've been "thanked" 6-7 times. Instead, people either stopped checking the thread as frequently as the release has dragged on OR (more likely) people have had their hopes crushed too many times and aren't putting their faith in what could be another false date.
The TB has so much potential, and I pray VZW & HTC have taken the time necessary to work out all the kinks. After waiting (marginally) patiently since November, I really hope this is it and our obsession is rewarded with a shiny new toy on Thursday. Cheers to that!

Yea.. I think people bought other phones.. It will be Thursday though.. This is the first official statement.

First and only
Do you know if I bring it back within 30 days they can use the amount on the GC they are sending me and credit that amount onto the CC i used to purchase the phone?

yeah, because you'd be Repurchasing it at customer service.
If I get my GC after the 20th and repurchase it at customer service, will I be out $50 since the price of the TB will be going up? Thanks for the quick responses.

So what's the difference between "making an appointment" and just showing up when the store opens?
Well mine just called me after I called them and just sayed early May. They are not doing appointments. You just go in.

Hey Jay, it says that the SD card is not included...this doesn't sound good. Can you shed any light on this? Thanks.

Just Called my BB, she said they will go over the preorder list and call you according to that. If they have enough to cover preorders they will set up appointments in that order, she did say that I could just walk in if I wanted to, but with appointment I will have a set time. Also she said they dont have them in yet so once they get them in they will do it accordingly. I asked her about exchange on my iphone and she said ofcourse I can exchange it as long as its with in thirty days.
Really nice girl, knew her stuff and all about the launch date or what not.
