Will Best Buy Carry The Razr Maxx soon?

[hoe-bag]

I currently have the T-bolt and I have the buyback option with Best Buy so I stopped in a store today to trade up to the Razr Maxx but they didn't have any. Called a few stores and they said it's not in their system yet. Does anyone know if/when Best Buy will have this phone. How long is the normal lag time between phone release at Verizon and Best Buy getting the handset?

Thanks

I am pretty much in the same situation. Some info that might help...I don't know where u r but in Tulsa, Best Buy gets deliveries on Tues & Th nights...so u could check on the mornings following delivery. Be aware of your 'buy back' dates. The most $ are actually 0-7 months after original purchase date cause the 6 months don't start until 1 month after purchase. www.bestbuy.com/buyback

I was told at my BB that they weren't getting the Maxx or the lower-priced Razrs.

Do you trust your Best Buy rep?? I hope this isn't true.

Last night I stopped into my local Best Buy to see if the Maxx and the Mobile Manager said it was only announced but not released.

I called the Best Buy Mobile to see if they had any in stock, the guy says "what's that" I have to tell him it's the Razr with the bigger battery. He comes back a few seconds later and says "it's not released yet" I tell him, it's released but you don't have it yet? The d1ckhead says "yeah, that's it"

What a moron.

just talked to a bb rep and they said "they ain't never even hearda that phone"..... Sigh..... THen talked to another that said they probably won't be carrying it.

Another reason I don't shop at Best Buy unless absolutely necessary. Their representatives are as useless as a paper bag. And as I see here, it only becomes worse in the mobile phone section. I remember when a Best Buy representative tried to convince me not to buy a Xoom and opt for an Acer tablet. I am not against Acer, but don't go as far as to tell me it blows the Xoom out of the water, doesn't freeze like the Xoom, etc. My Xoom never froze once! I was also in Best Buy when a family was buying an Xbox 360 and they said the family will need an adapter for wireless internet which isn't true anymore! And than the representative got annoyed when I told the family its not necessary and that the $100 HDMI cable being pushed could be purchased online for less than $10 at Monoprice. Lol!

Sorry, had to rant about their lack of knowledge.

My BB guy said there was a conf call today for the OK/KS area as to y they didn't have the Maxx yet. He thinks it may be another case of where Verizon pushes initial production to their stores 1st. Based on previous history he thought it might be 1-2 weeks b4 BB gets the phone. He found the phone in his system but was not able to put an order in for one. Whatever happens, BB is buying back this TB by Feb 9 even if I have to go to my backup plan of 2 cans and a long string.

Called VZW..they said BB should have it any day now. Anyone know of any BB's w/it yet?

I work at best buy. I've been pestering my mobile guys for a while now but they don't really get to know until the last minute if we're getting the phones. The sup was going to try and make a phone call to check. I annoy them rather frequently about it. I'll post if I hear anything!

EDIT: According to the official facebook page, they should be available tomorrow online so I would say give it another week or so before they hit stores.

acidburn07 that is excellent information and great news. Thx.

You're welcome! Glad I could help

Stopped by best buy mobile store yesterday, asked the guy about the maxx and he had never even heard of it. I looked at him and laughed. Then walked down to vzw and a sales guy there showed me his razr maxx with launcher pro, bunch of widgets, totally customized to his liking. Anyhow, I haven't been to a phone store since I got a new phone 6 months ago, couldn't believe how thin the maxx is - I'm going to have to start reading and following these forums again. The Maxx seems like it might just be the ticket for me at some point soon.
