Best Buy Details

Anyone else 1000% positive that it WILL launch this week? I just haven't heard any more delay rumors, and things seem to be settling down. With all that Michael Weston and BMX are posting, I just think we will see it this week.
 
you uh, wanna pass out that store # and address? a 3 hour drive would allow me time to plot out my home screen layout and the email i'm going to send to Verizon FROM the TB.

but in reality--the InterWebs will be my preferred method for the possibility of free activation :)

If you do come tomorrow. Might as well pick me up! Ill chip in for gas and im on the way.:cool:

you would think I said it was coming out thurs.. I said it was a "go" which means that is completely ready for launch. final firmware..etc

I am starting to think TOMORROW is the day...although this latest tweet can be taken many different ways...

calm down. we have been sure of dates in the past. don't hold your breath. I am just as sure about this week as i was about the 24th which was twice as sure as the 14th...

Yeah. If tomorrow IS a go, I'm going to order online. Not having the $35 activation fee will be sweet, and having a distraction free day with my baby boy (turning 3!) on his big day will be priceless. :D

haha, yeah but the only problem is that on the way back we'd have to alternate driving b/c i'd couldn't keep from customizing the phone & testing the LTE speeds along the highway.

that's actually the first thing i want to test---LTE speeds around Charlotte. hopefully Sensorly app is updated to include the coverage option
 
sounds like he is saying it's either over a week away or just trying to not get in trouble for letting info slip
 
he still said this though..

Sorry all.. that tweet was meant to be sent via DM.. so ignore it.. not like the device is launching this week or anything #sneaky?



why do u continue to email? If i said it was #sneaky get the hint and dont press.. i dont make them hard to get the meaning. Do i?
 
even if it's ready--i bet they still do a bit more testing JUST to make sure it's ready. firmware etc might be a go, but since they've not really released a date for it--they could still do extensive testing on this batch of fixes.

think about them officially letting out a release date & then delaying it AGAIN, you know the backlash would be unprecedented in these forums.

it might be ready, but it doesn't mean it's in the mail tomorrow. i'm betting later this week (if it were this week)
2 days of testing, 2 days of shipping

I'm currently a Verizon customer and I'm upgrading my phone with a preorder at Best Buy. Does this mean I'm paying an activation free but wouldn't be if I order through Verizon? If BB is charging $50 more but I got them to honor the free buyback, I'm trying to see if activation fee needs to come into the equation on where I decide to buy from.
