Went to Sprint...
Not happy at all with the Sprint store's customer service:
- Claimed it came out "this summer"
- Had no idea you could pre-order the device and told me to come back later.
- Claim you have to go through a credit check for the pre-order
It sounds like based on responses it is highly likely it comes out sometime around the end of April to beginning of May.
Also, I understood that there is a LIST and that you are simply purchasing a $50 gift card for the pre-order..not actually signing up yet or purchasing the device.
Frustrating. There should have been a simple way to pre-order online to get around the useless customer service representatives.
I also asked them why I should purchase at their store rather than Best Buy. They claim they can get me a 10% discount on my monthly fee. Has anyone heard of this? They also said their protection plan is better and that Best Buy servicing is done at their store.
