Preorder Bestbuy

That's when they're SUPPOSED to charge by their agreements with the CC companies.

A number of years ago I had one clown charge me for an order and then never send anything, so I wrote a nice little letter to the bank along with receipt copies, etc. and had a refund by next billing cycle. Handy to let the bank/VISA's lawyers go ape on them and cheaper...

Rather than edit, I also seem to recall that debit card even IF marked as VISA/MC/etc. most banks will do a hold on the total as it's not really a CC but a debit card... i.e. why they do it, and even though it acts like a cc it's not, so why they can do it...

HOLD UP! you can pre-order this on bestbuy's site... but they have this as an 800Mhz cpu not 1Ghz... it this a typo on bestbuys site or is this really only an 800 Mhz phone?

According to the chip maker's data, it will actually run at 1.2Ghz

unfortunately not with the stock kernel... but that would be great once some devs get a hold of it (if? )

Found out today that BB had a "credit hold" on my BB card for the phone on pre-order.

Took an hour on the phone at a BB Mobile store for BB to cancel the pre-order, then they put me on hold, called the credit department on the BB card and released the credit hold.

How nice of them. *smirk*

Point is, they didn't charge my card, just put a hold on the funds..... And I have the phone. *gigitty*

Most likely, yes. If it were running stock at higher speeds, that would make it into marketing.

That's a little steeper price than I was hoping for. But... I still might go for it when better reviews come out.

I agree. Let others here suffer and deal with a over hyped cell phone and learn about the issues and problems first, before thee and thou. Perhaps wait until VM drops the price to 129.95. I have always believed that the best moves involve sacrificing the occasional pawn. Smiley.

We still do not know what Cricket has up its sleeve; they amazed the planet with the Sanyo Zio. Many were surprised that a high(er) end phone would be offered by Cricket as a no-contract offering. So perhaps a Triumph Killer awaits us.

Cricket should offer a better than Triumph phone, and drop its monthly unlimited plan and go after VM.

Just got an email from BB. They are delaying shipping for another day, for some unknown reason.
