My Best Buy is thankfully totally on the ball. I went there finally tonight to see if they had any information, just so I knew so I didn't end up missing out or something. As I walk in and talk to the first guy in the mobile department, he tells me the main girl who runs that department is actually calling people right now.
I walk over there and she is literally just hanging up the phone from calling me and leaving me a voicemail. I pull out my cell phone and see the missed call (my radio in the car had been too loud and I hadn't put my phone on vibrate like I usually do). So overall, that timing was cool.
Already I have a good feeling about all this. She tells me they don't know when they are getting the phones, and won't even say that tomorrow or Friday are most likely (which I respect, since she doesn't know) and says that usually she would have a tracking number if anything was on the way but she has nothing at all. We talked for like 15 minutes and she told me that tomorrow they had a big mandatory meeting across the stores at 11am and she figures it'll be about this stuff.
She told me that if you get the Black Tie Insurance for $10 a month that you can get the Buyback program for $30 instead of $60, and you still could cancel the Black Tie after the first month. I'm definitely going to get both, since if I was going to drop and break my phone it'd probably be sometime when I first get it and still am getting comfortable with it (along with the fact that I'm waiting for Otterbox to make a case for it, so I won't have a case on it at first either).
I also saw just now when I got home that a Best Buy memo has leaked that says pretty much everything the girl told me, except the memo is more confident ti'll come tomorrow or Friday. She told me, just like the memo says, that the moment they get the phones in, they'll be calling me. They won't be holding it till the next day or anything like that.
She was a huge fan of HTC and Evo and brought me around to the back of the desk and got out the dummy version of the Evo LTE and let me hold it. As she took me back there she told me she was going to "spoil me". :3
I'm very happy my Best Buy is on the ball and this nightmare is almost over.
