GOT ONE 12-11 best buy

[chenalex]

For anyone living in LA, the location that's selling their only device is in Westwood. West LA and both Culver City stores either denied they had any in stock, or told me they weren't selling yet. I have a final tomorrow so I'm not that willing to travel too far beyond that radius.

It's a good thing I guess. If I get the phone today, I wouldn't have gotten any studying done lol

Hey guys how did you manage to tell them to overide the system ?
So both times the manager over ride the system to sell it?

Lucky man, congrats.

There were a few saying NO WAY you/re going to get it. BB is breaking vz policy, they will lose their contract to sell vz phones, employees will get fired, yadda yadda. They were so sure. Guess they were wrong.

congrats man. Enjoy.

No, no, they were right. That store may lose it's ability to sell future Verizon phones. And it's very likely that people will get fired. That wasn't supposed to happen, there were even several employee news posts telling us that we DO NOT have a date, and we can not disclose inventory or etc to people who ask. Whatever the reason for the delay, there /is/ a delay and the phones can not legally be sold by Best Buy yet.

I don't even have Verizon and I been peeping this thread Congrats!

 

[Live2ride883]

Ahhhh no joy at my BB, Congrats to the OP though....

 

[sfbates]

I might have to call foul on this, the OP still has the Nexus listed as his next device. Not his current device.

They have 4 left at the bb in KS, I am on hold for the manager at mine now.

Hahah i was there when u called. Mike served us

 

[dadsterflip]

Darn no luck here.... so anyone heard about a Monday release like the rezound? Or was that razr?
Gnex Monday maybe?

 

[dubya.t]

The managers saw in their system that it was available for purchase today...and bc we both had been there so long the pretty much made a new item in their system...charged us each 299.99 and bam


On my way home to post pix


Sent from my Galaxy Nexus....suckers

 

[DrPancake]

honestly i don't think anyone at BB would get fired over this.... there has been so much confusion about the release date I think that they wouldn't get anything more then an angry phone call

We shall see. If indeed there is a blowup over this incident and probably other similar ones around the country, there should be some news about it soon. If it is a violation of policy you would think they would know...are they that clueles? lol

 

[robstunner]

I literally just called about two dozen best buys in the chicagoland area, no dice. You sir, are a lucky lucky man.

 

[dubya.t]

This phone is simply the tits

Well the one good thing about all this for the rest of us is that there is no way verizon will not release this phone this week

 

[DrPancake]

How long of a drive is it from South Florida to Kansas? Think I could make it there before it closes!!!?!?!

Quite possibly, I can't say what their reasons were, I just know the rules. I know that if I sold the Nexus today, I'd be fired as soon as it was found out. No questions, no appeals, just gone. There might not be a media blow up over this as we geeks are the only ones who truely care about this phone, but there very most likely will be a blow up at that store, and a hard look at the management and who hired/trained that manager and possibly retraining for those trained by that manager.

Don't underestimate Verizon. xD If things aren't the way they want them, then they won't release. However from what I've been told, (which should be taken with a grain of salt) it's very likely that it'll release this week.

I'm just as excited to get this phone as anyone in here, but if I hold my breath waiting for this phone, I'm quite certain I'll pass out.

that store for whatever reason is not selling it anymore...called and confirmed
