its more then a $50 difference. Dont forget Verizon will tax you on the full retail price . So thats another $50 at least. So Wirefly is about $100 cheaper.

dang. you're right.
in NC--tax= 8.25%
so on the $649.99 pricemark, tax=$53.62

so that's already a $103.62 savings.
just sucks if the delivery takes too long. Standard delivery? where do the phones actually ship from?

Thunderbolt doesn't seem to be up on Amazon yet, but when it is if you have Prime it'll be 2-day shipping for free.

If you print out Wirefly's add and take it to BB, will they do their price match or no?

Nope. Plus, I think Wirefly will bump it back up to $250 on the 17th (ie 200 is for pre-orders only). The shipping is free Fed-Ex 2day, but there is an overnighter option for a little more money.

No. its an online ad. They aren't gong to match that.

We ship from our distribution center in Largo, Maryland. Let me know if there is anything else that I can do to help. :)

As for the Insurance, VZW's will usually require a deductible for the claim. The Device Protection that we offer does not require a deductible, and it will make sure you get a brand new phone when you file a claim. It is $50 for one year.
