location stock levels..

**blackmannx#AC** · 03-14-2011, 05:51 PM

With the expected volume of devices avail to each location. I would advise that those interested in the device without a pre-order at best buy check with their local corp store to ask if they are doing a pre-sale. We are looking at limited supply and given the hype over the device I want to give people a heads up to get in line... early....

Example.. some major locations will only have 20-40 devices..

Panda...

Good to know! Thanks. I am still considering between a Verizon Store (if a 1-year contract is available) and BB where I am #2 in the pre-order list.

**Forgetful** · 03-14-2011, 05:54 PM

Do you know if there will be online preorders...

**mikelpn#ac** · 03-14-2011, 05:54 PM

Panda knows whats up. Be there early.

**Suillira** · 03-14-2011, 05:59 PM

**Green_Laser** · 03-14-2011, 06:02 PM

I'm out in the boonies and no VZW store within 4 hours until Saturday. So if there are no online preorders I'm completely screwed.

I think he's saying that the limited supply applies across the board.

**KingChicago** · 03-14-2011, 06:03 PM

Thanks for the heads up, Panda!

Ouch that sucks.

I am going to send my wife to pick it up if they dont open early because the one day during the week i CANT be late for work is thursday.

**djricorich#IM** · 03-14-2011, 06:04 PM

Good thing I was number 1 on the or preorder list

**azdmelani** · 03-14-2011, 06:21 PM

thanks Panda!

**Geeksy** · 03-14-2011, 06:25 PM

And now we're going to go from geeky friends to bitter enemies trying to get the phone.

**funguy123us** · 03-14-2011, 06:28 PM

I have $100 NE2 credit so of course I am going to verizon store. Question is how early should i go? Stores open at 9

You should call ahead and see if you can make an appointment.

That what I just did. 9 am

**mookdezell** · 03-14-2011, 06:41 PM

I'm hoping that ordering it online through VZW as soon as it is listed will secure me a device.......

Very nice!

**wernotw** · 03-14-2011, 06:58 PM

The Panda is always looking out for us! I pre-ordered so I'm good to go!

**Fhiz** · 03-14-2011, 07:00 PM

This is what I hate about being a college student on a family plan. I can't get the phone being i'm on my dad's plan... and he'll have to get it probably around 5:30 that day... if they're still in stock. crap.

There is a way he can make you an authorized user on the plan, giving you full access to the account and able to upgrade

Thats not totally true. Your dad could make you an "authorized user" on the account and you could go into VZW or bestbuy and pick up a new phone all by yourself.
