Any word on when the gold will be out for Verizon?
When I was pre-ordering St Best Buy yesturday they had a SKU sheet with gold for each carrier and in each size. Take it FWIW but it might be a tell of things to come.

Online will have limited stock and will just start to be put on back order shipping dates. So if you are planning on doing online be there right at launch to ensure your shipping date.Online also or only in store?
inders99,
Sorry to say but the answer in no. If you are on a data share plan (i.e. Unlimited talk/text and X GB of data)
If you are not on an Edge plan the "line fee" is $40.
This sucks because AT&T does not do this. They give you the $15 "line fee" if you pay off device, BYOD, or do a Next plan and have 10+ GB.
Verizon "line fee" goes like this:
Contract: $40 line fee ( pay subsidized price, and $40 "upgrade" fee)
EDGE: 8GB or less: Line fee is $25 ( a $15 price cut )
Edge: 10GB or Higher: $15 Line fee ( Price cut of $25)
BYOD (bring your own device) Line fee: $40 ( you lose the discount )
The only way to make a line fee cheaper is to BYOD - Dumb phone - and the line fee is $20.
Hope this helps.

In store will be depend on your location. Example being, my store will pre-order anything available, but I will not carry the 128 model unless there is a demand. As most people are OK waiting 2 days to get that capacity in store as that is same time frame it takes to order online unless you make the next day cut off. General idea is we do not want a ton of $1000 devices in our inventory lol.
The salesperson at Best Buy just refused to pre-order for me because I am paying full retail without signing a contract. Can they do that?
I will be getting the Black 128GB off contract with VzW so this interests me also! I would prefer to purchase the phone from Best Buy but from looking at their off contract prices they are significantly higher than VzW direct.
I'm pretty sure they can't because that's how I pre-ordered mine. They even have instructions on how to do it so you should talk to a manager about it.The salesperson at Best Buy just refused to pre-order for me because I am paying full retail without signing a contract. Can they do that?
Yep, I plan on getting them to price match when I pick mine up.Best buy will price match!

Are you asking if they will have a limited stock at launch? Obviously we have a ton of devices but just like the iPhone as soon as they hit a certain number they start to move the shipping dates back. Hence why this is a first come first serve system and why they are doing a pre-order to gauge sales and inventory flow.Are we talking 12:00AM on April 1st? Online?
Nothing official sorry if I honestly knew I would tell you. It sounds very POSSIBLE but as of right now internal Verizon SKU only show the black / white models. That can change in the click of a mouse though
