Should i get S2 with Sprint Premier or pre-order at store?

It is to my understanding that you will be able to pre-order online 3 days before and will not have to pay the activation fee because it will be shipped directly to your home. I will call customer service soon to see what they have to say about the subject.

Right, but this is the first time that I'm hearing that they'll be offering the 3-day-pre-launch -in-store-, rather than just online, how it usually is, unless I'm mistaken...
 
I would check with the store first I wouldn't trust those online reps with what they say. Cuz I've been with Sprint forever and never heard of picking it up at the store 3 days early. That sounds a little sketchy to me lol.

Right, hah. That's kind of what I figured, that the online rep was... Well, just making it up.

I tried calling my local corporate store, and they insist that they aren't even -taking- preorders for the E4GT. Oh well. Online on Tuesday (assuming they offer it), it is.
 
So looks like we'll be able to order a week from today on Tuesday. Anyone order a phone via early Premier sales? What is the shipping time like on those orders?

EDIT: Looked around and found it is 2-5 business days.

for the Evo3D they all were shipped next day air...people who placed their order too late in the day got it the day after.

You are right. Those chat ppl always give me wrong info. What I do is google sprint acct services number and u get a direct line no waiting and knowledgable american staff.

That store either havent had to many interested in it or don't know what they are doing. It clearly says to go to the store to pre-order.

These online sprint reps aren't extremely knowledgeable when it comes to pre-orders. If you want a definite answer you need to contact sprint directly. But i am 99.9% positive that this phone is eligable for online pre-order on or before sept. 13th. About picking it up in the store 3 days early, i have no clue what she was talking about because i have never heard of that but i may be wrong. There may have been a miscommunication there...

Ok ... Guess since they insist that their not doing it means they are exercising there right to not participate....

this is a first. I have yet to run across any store not running any promotions from Corporate...

Stores considered 3rd party i can see not doing for what ever reason. But at every corp store that i have lived by or gone to has always took part in all major pre orders . I didn't pre-order my Pre and was on a separate line then those that did. Those that pre-ordered went in first and earlier then we did so after that i always pre-ordered so didn't have to feel like i did that day lol

Like you said there loss
 
I just preordered at the store but i will still buy online if its available early and use the $50 gift card to pay my bill
 
50 $ gift card has to go towards accessories or phone

Is this true? I've heard it can only be used toward the retail stuff in the store and I've also heard you can use it to pay your bill at the store. Not sure what to believe. I think I'm going to head down to the store today and try to pay my bill with the card.

I called up to try to have the credit my account for the 50 bucks lol they told me i can use it for accessories or on the phone but not my bill..still torn on getting it from the store or ordering it from online and waiting...
 
This is kind of ****ty on Sprint's part. "Hey, pre order this phone buy purchasing a $50 gift card! We don't know, or won't tell you, if there is going to be premier early access so pre-order now!" Now if the early access is available, we're all stuck with $50 gift cards that we can only use on accessories, which I personally don't want. Ugh...
