Best Buy Return/Exchange: 14 or 30 Days?

[RG129]

Even though I've just passed my 14th day, I'm still wondering if it's possible to get a GS3 if it ends up being that much better. (Although my meticulous comparisons between the two are slowly starting to fade).

I bought my phone at Best Buy and when they were explaining the terms, everything about the 14 day window was about my service contract and my upgrade eligibility. I can cancel my service contract and maintain my upgrade eligibility within 14 days. But what if I still want to commit to the service contract, but want to exchange phone models from the EVO to the GS3? Will Best Buy's corporate 30 day return/exchange policy work?

I picked up my EVO on the 24th, which means the GS3 launch lands within my 30 day return period.

As far as I know, yes! I ordered the Evo at bestbuy yesterday and the lady explained it to me this way:

14 days to revert my "sprint" contract and reinstate my upgrade status.

30 days to return the "phone" to bestbuy for a refund or phone of equal or lesser value, however if this is after 14 days then it has no effect on your Sprint contract, you're still in a new 2-year agreement.

Let's just say I plan on comparing this very heavily to the GS3 in a few weeks

i believe they told me 14 days to return for refund and 30 days to exchange.

Just what I wanted to hear! But if you just-preordered, you're gonna have much more time to compare than I will. My 30th day lands on the 23rd. A whole whopping 2 days after release to make the switch! :/
