Cool, Costco really is the best place to buy a phone.

Now, if we only had a release date.
 
AC... helping Costco get new members every release..

its truly a great place to buy a device even though I always say support your local stores their bundles are... compelling.

With their return policy, price and included bundles it makes it a easy decision to buy there if you are eligible. I do wish they sold phones straight out without contracts too though.
 
Wow .... with the recent influx of leaks, maybe this means the release IS coming soon....Nov 10th or 17th
 
Has anyone ever successfully bought outright a smartphone from Costco kiosk? I have a concession line so subsidized price is not an option for me.

Same question for BJ's... they sell verizon phones as well. I work right next door to a BJ's and my parents are members (dad has same name FTW). Wouldn't mind getting a membership if their store hours work well with my work hours (looks like opens at 9:00am and I work until 8:30am on weekdays).

Nevermind... Looks like Costco is like BestBuy and sells cellphones while BJ's just houses a VZW Kiosk (which probably means I could just buy it outright at BJ's if I wanted to, but no discounts/bundles).

I dont see that Costco sells any phone without a contract. Can anyone verify this?
Thanks.

Does anyone know if I have my 3g unlimited data plan, and I buy from Costco, will that automatically upgrade me to the 4g unlimited data without having to go into a Verizon store?
 
Heres to hoping we get a accessory bundle like they did for the bionic...

That deal was tempting beyond comprehension
 
what would be the benefit of buying the phone at Costco vs Verizon store/online if verizon prices the phone at 299? Ignoring the $10 of course

i only ask because i would have to transfer the upgrade from my bro's line, add the 2GB data plan, and my aunt (on the same family plan) has the Costco pass..

I think you might only pay the tax on the regular price instead of the full price of the phone.
 
When I brought my Bionic at costco it included a car dock w/charger, desktop charging stand, spare battery, spare battery charging stand and belt clip case.
