Droid X pre-order from Best Buy

[Sonink]

Any Best Buy Differences?

Planning on pre-ordering from Best Buy later today or tomorrow. Does anyone know if there are any differences in the insurance or details with the contract you'll end up with? Is it effectually the same as getting the contract and options in a Verizon store?

Its the same as if you were going through an authorize retailer which they are. Everything will still be the same if you went though VZW you just have a middle man doing the work. Contracts, insurance, bill stuff will all be the same as if you went though VZW just there is a middle man. Though I do believe you can get some "warranty/insurance" thing though BestBuy.

ok so, just pre ordered @ BestBuy. The $699 was just price to save there butts. At Launch the price will change and if it dont, go to VZW.com and print it out and they will match it-

accessories are supposed to show up on the 14th-

and my gift card says Merry Christmas...

I'm also jumping ship from my BS1 to X. Went to a local VZW store (small just one saleman) and put down a $100 deposit for an X on release date.

My NV2 is up on July 22 put the CS said they would give it to me as its within the two week window.

Looking forward to the fun coming up in a week....

You HAVE to be eligible for your 2 year for best buy!


You cannot do the renew early thing for the Droid X at BBY.

And you HAVE to sign a new two year contract at BBY

ummm not true what so ever. i pre-ordered one and i am paying full retail

How much did they say full retail would be?

 

[Bond32]

I think he ment the one year price, not full retail.

 

[borgey401]

How much did they say full retail would be?

$560

 

[Stang68]

$560

Hmm...with tax, that's not too bad. I want the X but will also want the Droid that is most likely going to come out for Black Friday. I have an upgrade...but only one. Maybe I'll buy the X outright...

 

[borgey401]

I honestly do not get how some people are trying to decide between the Droid X and the Samsung Galaxy. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! THAT SAMSUNG PHONE DOES NOT EVEN COMPARE TO THE X. That is a girls phone IMHO. I mean I guess if you are a girl then yeah go for it but the Droid X is a big boys phone and the Galaxy is CLEARLY a little teenagers phone not to mention that Samsungs Touchwiz UI or whatever they call it is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! Common people get with it

 

[Stang68]

I agree. The Samsung isn't even coming with the front-facing cam. Moto makes a good, solid phone. The Galaxy looks a little cheap. And nooooo thanks to TouchWiz.

Where is said area? If you don't mind me askin.

North east Fort Worth, TX area.

The nice folks at big red reset my NE2 date to last month so I could get a full upgrade. So, I am doing my NE2 upgrade at BB. I am so excited!'

is there no Best Buy local to you? i hate goin into VZW store.

Its on the other side of town, but the VZW is just a few blocks away. I really dislike any type of cell phone store... feel like they make things complex so that they can take advantage of you.

Didn't consider the BB store because of earlier posts saying they stoped taking advance orders. Don't know if this is still true, so decided to give the local VZW a try.

ic well if u were doin a NE2 then BB price would be 199 no rebate. @ VZW its 299 then u send in a 100 rebate...

I just went o my local Best Buy today and made a reservation. Does anyone know if BB or Verizon will be giving anything away with it? I doubt it though.

Um, the X doesn't have a front-facing cam either

 

[SolWgn]

yo me the only use for a front facing camera is for the deaf... I can hear, and everyone I know can hear. Oh, and none of us really want to see one another.

I called my local Best Buy last night. First person I spoke with said they weren't taking pre-orders. I asked to speak with someone in the mobile department. The girl there told me they closed preorders the day they opened them. Said if I ordered one I wouldn't get it on launch date.

Called a local Verizon store after that and was told they are not taking pre-orders and it'll just be first-come first-serve on launch day. Don't know if that will pan out. I might be waiting a while for an X. :-(
