I was going to add a new line and preorder the Shift at bestbuy Online but I got the message that I had to call Bestbuy Mobile 1-877 number. So i called them and they said i have to go into the store to preorder the phone.
I called my local bestbuy about this and they said it's $50 to preorder the phone but then I asked him when would I get the phone then and he replied, and I quote, "I think we won't get any in till January 15th"....wtf.
I plan on stopping by there when I get off work. I just can't believe that if I preorder this phone from bestbuy, I have to wait till January 15 to receive it. If that's the case, I'll just go to radio shack or a Sprint Corporate Store and get one.
+for Radio Shack
my best expereience with buying phones have been with the shack.. instant rebates and they usually have new phones in stock more than other storez..
I may just end up going there. I got an Epic from them before but took it back and went back to my Evo. I didn't like the Epic at all. But I've heard a lot of good things about HTC phones with physical keyboards. So I'm going to give it a try. If i don't like it, I'll return it.
One good thing though is that I live right dead in the middle between Bestbuy and Radioshack
Do anyone know if this will have the new sense and/or be able to the sense.com?
Just preordered my Shift. Get it Thursday morning with my reward zone.
I just signed up for a "Rewards Zone" membership online. It gave me my member number etc. So do you think, I'll get the same treatment as you, like being able to preorder and receiving the phone by Thursday?
I don't see how you can get the phone Thursday when it's being released the 9th, which is Sunday.
Curious, which phone are you switching from?
On the Best Buy website it says reward zone gets the phone on the 6th. So I went in to Best Buy and asked. The guy said official release date is the 9th but they are able to sell to reward zone customers on the 6th. He did not explain why and I really dont care why as long as i get it on the 6th like he said.

You should be fine, I signed up just before the early release of the Hero and had no problems. In fact my account has been screwed up from the start, I've never accumulated any points despite spending in excess of $1500 over the past year...
you have to pay upfront? or downpayment?
