Hunting For Nexii

[Eric Kane]

Do we get can'd for getting a nexus early?
Like Verizon saying anything or so? Or calling us etc?

Not when we bought it legally. Ill keep you posted as soon as i know anything.

Thanks man. I wasn't sure if we would be in trouble but we didn't steal it or anything so.
Just covering my bases. I'm 99.9 this mgr which I know and talk alot when i go there would sell this to me. That's why I'm a little excited about it.

So far reading everywhere is bb can can ring and sell it and it doesn't stop them like how radioshqck would so. The only obstacle I see if when they would have to call Verizon which I would probably stop her and ill just tell her ill take it home.
I feel bad and hope she doesn't loose her job but she did say that'd whatnshe would tell tthem is the computer says 12/11 street date so shshe was very nice.

I've seen it posted numerous times across many forums, apparently best buy policy is you can't leave the store with the phone until they activate it for you. Sorry.

Do they have to actually make a call from it? Then its activated or once data is working can we call it activated?
Or what do they consider activated?
If she gets everything working but can't make calls that's when i wanna say can I take it home instead etc.

Not sure. I would assume activating involves activating the SIM card which would cover data and calls, and is don through verizon. I've seen posts from people who were trying to buy the phone at third party retailers, got to the activation point, salesperson couldn't activate the phone and had to call verizon, verizon told salesperson they couldn't sell the phone yet. So it seems there are multiple roadblocks to get past in order to be lucky enough to sneak one before official launch.

Darn. If that's the case then its a slim chance ill get t then if it all leads to calling Verizon to activate it.... sheesh. Oh well.

Unfortunately there are very few who will ask for it since they know little about it.

I would hate to work at these stores during this time.. so irritating to have to answer the same questions a thousand times a day until this release.

Really now? so she doesn't really need to call vzw if she would just switch my sim card out if that's correct? Then add it to the system then done?
Bionic and razr share same style Sims?

True, but like I posted in another thread, if you have a sim, you have to cut it down to the correct size since the Nexus uses a micro sim. So you need a micro sim anyway to know what size to cut your sim card down to. And this is all assuming the store will even let you leave without the phone being activated. Plus many store's systems are apparently prompting a warning to sales associates they cannot sell the phone yet.

 

[dadsterflip]

Thanks for answering.
I'm guessing the razr shares the same style sim.
Well I guess back to waiting for now but I might stop to see if she would let me get it once she has it loaded to the system oor what not just all the steps before calling vzw lol.

Thanks again shark

I've seen radio shack printing warnings not to sell but haven't seen bb yet so.

Seen a few people reporting best buy's system shows a 12/11 street date, so you may run into no problems tomorrow. Not trying to crush anyone's hopes or dreams, just trying to keep the hype and expectation level at a boiling point, not overboiling

And yes, I believe the Razr is the only other phone with a micro sim card.

That's what I was hoping for. Just the calling Verizon part and activating from the Verizon rep is what I'm worried.
Your being realistic so you didn't crush my bubbles at least.

If Best Buy does start selling it tomorrow... What is the difference between going to BB or the VZW store to do my upgrade? I am eligible for the 30 dollar discount, will I still get that at BB? If I have any issues that I need a replacement under warranty will I still be able to go to the VZW store to get a replacement?

 

[ShinyTop]

No inside information but I do not believe Best Buy will be selling it before Verizon stores. Not saying it would not be tomorrow but VZ will not be letting BB sell it first.

I think you would only get that discount at vzw.

I just called my local best buy. They aren't selling it tomorrow.
