Finally, got through to Best Buy. As long as AT&T makes the date change, it should be no problem. The worst, hopefully, is that Best Buy calls AT&T.

Major U.S. carriers will not sell Edge at launch.
Good luck. I wish all best buy locations would be that accommodating and not just flat out say 'no, we can't do special circumstances'

Congrats on breaking though the AT&T customer service wallI've gotten AT&T to give me early upgrades before I got on Next but it was like moving a few dozen mountains and then having to climb all of them.
I'm curious as to how AT&T Next works at Best Buy. I'm already on next so I'm not 100% sure I'd trust turning in my phone to best buy to give back to AT&T, if you can even do that at Best Buy, but I hate going to AT&T stores for any reason. I just want my new phone, not a 20 minute pitch and 50 different u-verse services.
I would think Next is specific to the carrier as you are essentially paying for a device they own until the end of the term.

Best Buy's website says you can do/get Next though them, but they don't make any mention of doing an upgrade there if you are already on Next. Oh well, worst case scenario I just have to enjoy the yearly 'u-verse is super awesome!' speech at the AT&T store.

I always feel as if I'm getting interrogated for wanting to speak with resolutions.

What's the appeal of buying from best buy? Don't they charge like $50 more than buying direct (off contract) from carrier?
I know you were the guy that was at the Samsung event so I believe what you say. Did Samsung tell you this directly or are you just guessing?
They often have sales that make the phone cheaper than buying directly from Verizon. There's also a workaround that allows you to buy on contract and keep unlimited data. Not to mention, they price match so while their off contract price is more expensive, you can still get the same price as at the Verizon stores.What's the appeal of buying from best buy?

Stopped in my local Best Buy on the way home this evening, hoping to see a demo unit, but none available yet. They did confirm the dates listed in the original post above. I was hoping the Verizon might start tomorrow with the others, but they still stated it was April 1 for Verizon.
