Can stores sell to you with pre-order before hand if they have inventory?

A local Radio Shack employee, says they have had the phones in stock a couple days and that pre-orders can actually come and buy theirs early. Any truth to this. If it's true I'm going to get mine a day early. Any clues? Can they legally sell you one. I have my giftcard ready to go in my car glovebox.

God that would be AMAZING if they could. I am going crazy waiting for this thing, especially since other people are receiving theirs in the mail today..

After reading this I just called my Radio Shack where I pre-ordered and she said they can not give it to me until tomorrow at 9am.

Maybe someone else is getting lucky though. I remember this happening with Madden Football (video game for those not familiar) a few years ago.... Game Stop was selling it early and created a big ruckus. Was good for those of us who got in quick though.

When BB called me to ask if I wanted a shield pre-installed, I asked if they had them in already, that was a yes. Then I asked if I could just go ahead and pick it up now, that was a laughing no. :'( It was worth a try though...

My darn RadioShack has not even called me yet to set up an apt. So I am going to take that as an invitation to be the first one there tomorrow when they open !;)

I get off work in an hour and a half, I'm going to go home, pop an Ambien and wake up in time to shower, get dressed, and pick up my brand spanking new phone from Best Buy at 8am!!! ;) I'll eliminate as much anxiety as I can that way. Haha!

On that note, anyone been able to get their pre-order early from Best Buy? I literally live like 2 mins from one and would love to go and get it right now. But of course I don't want to look like a jackass going in there thinking they'll give it to me if they really won't. Ahhhhh, I don't want to wait until I get off of work tomorrow!!!
