"Where did you get the info on the extended offer? I have been getting the run around up in the MA and NH Best Buys."

As far as spelling out when we're going to get our Verizon N4's I think it's completely irrelevant though, and I have been saying so for days. First of all, all other carriers are able to pre-order through 10/16, yet clearly many T-Mo customers and some AT&T customers already have them in their hands prior to 10/16. Secondly, the fine print says that "Verizon customers may pre-order through 10/22". For all we know Verizon negotiated a longer pre-order period for their customers because they're the biggest carrier in the U.S. Third, they really make no distinction between Verizon as a carrier and Verizon as a retailer. They're the same company, but they truly are two separate operations. It's completely possible that Verizon retail stores could wait an extra 6 days to get the phone while Best Buy and other 3rd party retailers are already selling them as of Friday. Everyone is trying to read into the fine print and coming up with their own conclusions, but at this point we just don't know what we don't know. Basically the bottom line is that once there is a supply of phones available for Verizon or any other carrier they're going to go on sale, regardless of what's been published as "street dates". Samsung is already trying to fight the tide of people defecting to the iPhone 6 and 6+. They surely are not going to tell any retailer "NO! You can't sell our phone before it's time."
