Well, the negative experiences here in the eastern time zone oughtta save folks in central, mountain and pacific zones some travel time!

or it worked and now hes too distracted playing with his new toy!

Or perhaps BB security has him in the back room and they are roughing him up right now.

And by the way, Dr Panacake, your avatar cracks me up! It took me a couple of days before I even realized what it was. I thought it was an extreme closeup of an eyeball.

Maybe his trying to run away or they have his original phone diactivated ththen turn around to reverse the process? Cause it didn't go through lol

It will come out at the end of the 10 day 10 cent app deals which would be the 15th lol..

At this point who cares. My current device is working just fine.

I am torn between devices but honestly, it's a freaking phone. I want a new phone too. Heck my wife wants the 4s because of siri.

Patience is a virtue lol

Why even get it activated? Upgrade, pay, and leave and do it yourself! lol

in store purchases require in store activations

Maybe at BB, but not at a VZW store. You can tell them not to touch it, and just sign and pay and walk out.

I work for Best Buy and I can tell you that it is NOT in our point of sale (register) systems. We physically can NOT sell it because there is no price or way to ring it up. Even if it activates (which it most likely will) it can't be rung through. Save yourselves some time and effort and stop trying to catch employees who aren't paying attention to the company news! (or lack there of) xD

Also the 11th date was the 'in stock date' meaning, by that day, we should have them in stock, not when they release. We're still waiting on an official sign of when it releases, until then we have nothing more then rumors to go on.

(edit)
I should also mention that selling it before it's release date would go on direct violation of our contract with Verizon and could cost that store it's ability to sell Verizon phones in the future...

doubt this will work, typically they don't just swap out items like that

also, good luck returning it if you have problems, or submitting a warranty claim.

when us tech nerds want a new toy, we are relentless with no shame

Maybe that BB employee wanted to quit his job anyways?

Or maybe he wanted to give verizon a big f u and was as tired of verizon dragging their feet as everyone else.
