i work at best buy and i got info today that best buy mobile is about to get ready to take pre-orders within a couple weeks and it could possibly start on april 16th
They're not sure what the price will be yet. I heard that when u preorder the phone they will tell u the price of it then, and they will give u a giftcard of how much it is worth so when u go to pick it up all u hav to do is give them the gift card, set your account up,and be on your merry way.
I don't think you pay full price. I think the pre-order will be like a $50 deposit and they give you that $50 gift card. I say $50 since it will cost more than that and throwing out an ambiguous number less than the full or subsidized price.
Best Buy will do pre-orders $50 deposit you get a gift card if you pre-order you are guaranteed a phone they have not announced when pre-orders will start I heard May since the phone is scheduled for summer.
No pre order for me been there done that without device days after release.
