I went to 2 stores (one on each coast) and both stores said they never even saw any colors other than black in their stores. One of them said the same thing about being in a case but I always choose a translucent case, so the color of the phone matters. But I couldn't pass up on the deal and...
Wow, did you guys order white ones? Although I wasn't in any hurry to use the phone, I'm glad I didn't have to wait that long even though they kinda screwed me over when I tried to buy it in store and the white one was the one I really wanted. I hope you guys get yours a lot sooner than...
I remember coming across this thread when I was researching the phone before buying. Now that I finally have it, I'm also seeing the same thing. It's pretty dumb if this is how it's designed to work.
I saw most of them available again late Friday night. I wanted to see if I could exchange my order but my calls to CS weren't getting through. It already shipped anyway so they probably wouldn't have been able to do anything about it. I'll try going to a store to do it and hope they have the...
When did you order yours? I ordered my black one around 6PM ET yesterday. I just got a shipment e-mail a short while ago but didn't check my actual BB account. Also, I checked my VZ account soon after my BB order and it already showed that there's a device payment plan for my phone number.
In general, unless I need something really badly ASAP, I think it's always prudent to wait and see what holiday sales bring if the date is coming up relatively soon, whether it's Memorial Day, July 4th, black Friday, Christmas, etc.
Nice, it shows the same for me with my online order. Although it would've been nice if the deal worked in store for me last night, I'm not in a hurry to use the phone ASAP since my case and screen protector won't be arriving for a little while anyway.
Just a heads up, I went to BB at opening (5PM today) to see if I could get a white 64 GB non-XL, since it was sold out online. The person I worked with said they only had black ones (YMMV on your store, but she pulled up inventory in the entire district and none had white) but that the $400 off...
This might be a dumb question, but I take it since it doesn't seem like you'd be buying the device outright or putting any money down on the phone with this deal, you wouldn't get BestBuy points?
I wouldn't mind doing that (I did that with my current phone) but it seems like some of the current deals state that you'd give up whatever bill credits you have left if you pay it off early, if I'm reading them correctly.
