Awesome Costco deal!!

[Sgtblack]

Does anyone have confirmation that the bionic will be at Costco?

I saw a article about the accessories deal, does anyone know for sure if it will be available at launch tomorrow?

+1

I don't care as much about the accessory deals, I just want the phone. But if costco isn't confirmed as a retailer for the phone opening day, I'm not going to bother heading up there after work, I'll just wait.

I just spoke with Wireless Kiosk @ costco in Brookfield CT and they do not have it, They normally know a week in advance. Does any other costco in Lower NY have it?

Does anyone know if this deal applies to online orders?

I just called my local Costco. They said that they do not have them in stock yet but that It could still happen tomorrow morning and to call early on. I think it would be worth waiting just because of what a great deal getting the phone at retail price with car dock and charging dock would be. Plus a car charger and free screen protector.

JACKPOT - I just called Costco in Montgomeryville, PA (20 miles North of Philly) and they have them in stock but can't sale them until tomorrow. So they're out there, just call around. Happy Hunting!

Phew. Called my 2 local Costco stores. 1 says they are planning on have it, no guarantees. The other says they will have it for sure.

Could always look in the huge Costco thread that is updating every few minutes:

Re: Does anyone have confirmation that the bionic will be at Cost

I checked with my local one here in the Midwest over lunch (won't be too specific cause I wanna make sure I get one!! LOL), and the guy I talked to said they didn't have them yet but would be selling them sometime tomorrow, said they stock was being overnighted to them today.

I also inquired about the accessories deal. It is a for sure bundle, except he couldn't tell me if the standard dock, car dock & battery charger/battery deal were Moto branded or some 3rd party manufacturer (off brand). Saw a comment in another thread that mentioned they had heard they would NOT be Moto branded, but I think that was either from a VZW store or BB that commented that, so might have just been a ploy to try and sell them accessories themselves. Only docks I've even seen advertised online so far have been the Moto branded "official" items.....at least I'm hopeful that's what we'll be getting.....

Oh, and they DID have the dummy unit just laying on the counter, wasn't "locked down" and died to the display like all the other dummy units....... I know it's been covered numerous times in other threads, especially by bworley........but the phone feels AMAZING in the hand.....I was floored by how lightweight it felt compared to a Tbolt or even my current HTC WinMo slider phone I have. I normally just carry my phone in my pocket....even the bigger screen/form factor (current phone only has a 3.7" screen) it will hardly feel noticeable. Of course its still nice weather & I was wearing cargo shorts with big pockets, but should still be fine when jeans weather rolls around.....not a fan of "skinny" jeans even on skinny people so I DEFINITELY don't wear them myself. LOL!

There should be an instant $20 rebate available making the "deal" $279

Also, the Wireless Advocate Kiosk managers should have received an email today stating to only sell it starting tomorrow 9/8..

Anyone know if they'll take an order for the phone if it's out of stock or backordered in the store?

Just called my Costco and they said they should have it.

 

[dustinfrank]

Just called the Costco 1/2 mile from my office and he said they SHOULD have it tomorrow but depending on the timing of the shipment, might not be able to sell it until the evening.... confirmed that there would be accessories with it, just couldn't officially say what they would be. but he DID say that the leaked flyer i told him about was probably true...sounded like he didn't really want to talk about it, if you know what i mean...

My guess is this will vary by location (or at least that's the way it's sounding). I asked the guy I talked to since I was actually in store if he would take my name & hold one for me and his response at least was that they don't allow them to do that, said they had done it in the past for a different phone and they got in trouble for doing it. Kind of sounded like Costco didn't like them doing it, not so much that it was a Wireless Advocates (kiosk operator) policy, but idk for sure......

Whoever gets this in the morning needs to fill us in if these are Moto-branded accessories or not (would be greatly appreciate!).

called my local store in maryland and was told they would only have 6 units!!!! but it will come with the accessories and with a $20 instant rebate, knocking it down to $279.99
