If it comes out tomorrow that would be cool. BestBuy.com says Coming Soon on store pickup and shipping. Just like Teddy Brukshut said you can't add it to your cart.
Doesn't matter, it will come out in April sometime and I can't wait to get it and root it and start the hacking.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, not yet an Android user. Why are you planning on rooting it? I thought the whole point of the Nexus was that you didn't have to root it. (I know, pure google, fast updates...)
my upgrade is may 1st, but i asked a sprint rep and she said i can upgrade on the 18th of this month. on bestbuy's website, it says im eligible for an early upgrade. will best buy (in store) let me preorder the nexus s 4g (i really want one on launch day) because to preorder it, it requires that i renew my contract.
sorry if that seems like a really stupid question.
So who will carry the phone 1st. Best Buy or Sprint?
If you pre order in person at best buy it will do nothing to your contract. Only when you come pick up the phone on release day is when they will use your upgrade. All you do when you pre order in store is buy a $50 gift card that counts as a pre order and goes towards the final purchase price.
I did best buy, cause Sprint wouldn't take my moneyso who do i preorder from, bestbuy or sprint?
Strange that the sprint stores aren't doing the preorder. I think I am going to come in with a print out of the webpage directing me to preorder at the sprint store when I try. Could it be that the sprint-owned stores can preorder, but the reseller stores can't?
I have four Sprint stores near by but only one can actually do anything besides let you pay your bill, that is the store I went to. I hate going to that store it is always packed, I had to wait in line for a little while only to get up there and have the manager say "We aren't taking pre-orders for it yet we don't even know when it is coming out." I said "On the sprint website this is the store i was told to come to for Nexus S 4G pre-ordering." she said "sorry" and I said "I wanted to come here first but I will walk right next door to best buy where they will take my money." Just really made me mad, the website clearly pointed me to that store and I waited in line only for them to say that. I went to best buy and i loved the experience I received from them so far.Strange that the sprint stores aren't doing the preorder. I think I am going to come in with a print out of the webpage directing me to preorder at the sprint store when I try.

Not sure if this has been posted yet or not but found a page on bestbuy.com that has the off contract price (for those of us that aren't uprgrading a contract to get this phone). 699.99 off contract, makes me glad I still have friends that work at best buy mobile that will give me their discount.

Edit: Nevermind, Phil just emialed me letting me know it's just a placeholder and will be 529 off contract.
