Best Buy slashed the price to $149.99 online

I went to Best Buy.com and went through the whole ordering process and it never brought up the $149.99 price. I will still get mine at the Sprint store.

just spoke to best buy, my phone is being packaged and shipped today. i should have it by tomorrow or tuesday. also just checked my sprint account online and my upgrade has been used as of today, good news!

Ordered through Sprint tele-sales this morning. How long does it take for order to get through the "processing" at the warehouse? It doesn't show my upgrade as used yet on my account either. Anyone??

Sweet! I can actually post on this thread now that i've got mine! For those that haven't picked theirs up yet, I grabbed my pre order at Best Buy in Daytona this morning, even though online price shows $149 for new customers and $199 for upgrades, the salesman rang it up and it came out up as $149, even though it was an upgrade, so hopefully this works for some more of us too. I haven't gotten too deep into this phone, but so far, it's bad ass, seems way better than my Evo.

I ordered through Tele-sales and was told I should have it in hand 2-5 days from now. I'm in NY..

I went to my local sprint corp. store and they told me that only had1 Nexus S 4g delivered. and it was sold this morning.

Picked mine up today at Best Buy. How do you get a widget that will toggle 4G on and off on the desktop?

Just picked up mine from Best Buy Mobile! And using the free tethering to type this now! I'm loving me some Gingerbread!

Just picked mine up at the Sprint store. Been playing with it a little bit. I have so much to learn.

Got mine this morning. I have so much to learn and set up. I feel like I have been downloading apps all day. Trying to get everything I had on my Pre. Does anyone have any suggestions on a better messaging app. The stock messaging app is just to plain. So far I love everything.

Battery cover...

Picked mine up earlier today at Best Buy. A question. Does your battery cover have a pattern on it?
Mine is gloss black with no pattern.

Handcent and goSMS are two pretty customizable alternatives.

I use goSMS Pro and it is great. If you are coming from a pre I might suggest getting wave launcher. It is an app that recreates WebOS's wave launcher.

Just got mine a couple of hours ago, love it so far. My pre- is sitting here in airplane mode so I can try to get some of the same apps I had on it. Love the Nexus S so far, and the other cases do fit the Nexus S.

Download Handcent from the Market. Pay the small fee for the enhanced version. It's totally worth it.
