Verizon vs. Best Buy Question

**psupride** · 10-16-2011, 09:29 PM

Does anyone know if the Prime will be available at VZW stores? I saw something that it was in BB's system and may be an exclusive? Any truth to this? Thanks!

We already know that it is in best buy system as well as in Verizon wireless systems. I'm guessing it will be available with both.

Yep. Assume both.

Bestbuy might have an exclusive agreement but I think that wouldn't count for Verizon Corporate stores. I would expect both of them to sell it on launch day.

Odds are it will be an in-store Best Buy only exclusive, but you will be able to order it off of the VZW website.

I'll tell you what..I have had great experience with best buy black tie insurance for my phones...got a free (kind of) droid x from a broken Palm Pre and then I had to have the droid x replaced and they had me a new one in 48 hours...I think I might buy my nexus from Best Buy

Im doing the same thing. Good to know you had a good experience with the back tie. Im sick of big red's asurion crap

Same thing with the TBolt. It was a Best Buy exclusive, but that really just means a 3rd -party B&M exclusive. It was still available at Verizon corporate stores, as well as online at Amazon, WireFly, etc.

Yeah how is best buy going to get a Verizon phone and not Verizon? They just mean best buy will get the phone before walmart or target or anywhere else. The poster above me is correct. Wirefly will get it too.

Contract between Verizon and best buy more then likely. Someone posted that there local cell phone store wouldn't be getting it and they have to go to a Verizon store.

I would prefer to buy it through best buy for the better insurance...

Does anybody know if you can still be grandfathered in to unlimited data for vzw and still go through best buy? or would I have to go through vzw to keep it?

That's awesome if you are upgrading. BB bends you over if you are paying full retail.

The unlimited plan is grandfathered to the account/number. As long as you are upgrading for that number you will keep unlimited data, if you are getting a new line you will have to go with the currant tiered data system.

Does anyone know if Best Buy honors a NE2 discount?

**Serial Fordicator** · 10-17-2011, 12:36 PM

I am curious as to the price will be. I hope best buy isn't that much more, because I use them for trade in.

Everything I've seen says that only Verizon will honor the NE2.

I believe they will price match a physical store.

I really hope the tell us which carriers the phone will be on tomorrow. I mean it's very obvious that it is coming to Verizon which all the leaked documents we've seen but an official confirmation would be absolutely awesome! Nexus is the holy grail of Android after all LOL

**Wiggy0211** · 10-17-2011, 06:02 PM

If you use your best buy credit card you can get 6 months free interest if upgrading and even more if you buy outright. Think it would be worth paying a little extra (buying outright) to be able to pay off at your leisure. I bought a tv a couple years ago and they gave me a ridiculous 3 years to pay off.. pretty sweet actually.
