Short answer is no, unless they are going to only be sold online only and not in stores(VZW Stores) and I really doubt that is happening. Sorry. VZW stores don't receive shipments on Sundays either so no chance.
apparently the tbolt is on the bestbuy ad. actually printed out paper. 299 tho.
Thursday only, look it up

My best buy told me (as of 11:30am NY time) that they have no release date at all.
Which is better than the other best buys I called last week telling me they had them and would sell on the 24th..
BMX tweeted that this week was a go. I am betting Thursday.
Yesterday I asked someone working at a kiosk in Costco about the TB, he said he had no idea about a release date but did say that Best Buy had 60 days of exclusivity. Waiting an extra 2 months to pick this phone up from a reseller, for what it's actually worth, makes this a definite pass for me.
Best Buy has had them in stock for a week or so.

It was in last week's ad at 249. The printed ad.
Also, some BB locations have had them in stock already for a week or so. Just could not sell yet.

Amazon and Wirefly and others should have it day 1. Its only retail store exclusive, not completely exclusive.
This may be why Verizon stores also have not received the phones yet. Because they are retail exclusive to Best Buy, the way the Nexus S is on T-Mobile, Best Buy only in stores, or online.
Told u
Also retail exclusive doesn't apply to verizon, they sell the phone no matter what. BB just gets to say they are the other store you can get it from

I don't think VZW stores would get as many accessories and promotional material as they did for the device and not sell it.

Unfortunately, I am not eligible for upgrade until Thursday, meaning I am missing out on all of these great deals on the SGS2. I want to get one as soon as I am eligible but I was just wondering if anyone knew of any sales on the phone in early to mid December?
The regular price at my local Walmart (which is where I would probably upgrade if I can't find it cheaper elsewhere) is $150 so any sales that lowers the price below that would be great and I would be willing to wait a bit longer for a better price on the phone.
So...anyone heard of any deals that don't end before the 1st or start soon after?
Target has it for $99.99

I did complain when it was a month early and they did allow me to upgrade early. However, they said it was IMPOSSIBLE to change my official upgrade date and all they can do is notate the account that an early upgrade has been approved. Meaning, if I go to Walmart, Radio Shack, etc they will still just see my December 1st upgrade date and won't let me upgrade.
In sum, I CAN upgrade, but only at the AT&T store or over the phone with AT&T. So, if they drop their price I can upgrade early but I would rather pay $150 in a few days than pay $200 now.
Do they still?

Bad news for me
Well I got some bad news today...my actual upgrade date is December 6th, but two AT&T reps told me that upgrades go by month and not by specific day, so they told me I could actually upgrade at any major retailer as early as December 1st.
So, I was counting on that deal at Wal-Mart but when I called them to double check that I could upgrade on the 1st I was told that I could not upgrade any earlier than the 6th and that I was misinformed.
So, if anyone hears of any deals that are still going to be valid on the 6th please post it.

Walmart online is not Walmart. Its another company that works with them called LetsTalk Inc.

I ended up getting one from sams for 96 cents. think today is the last day for it. Also the activation is refunded to you after 30 days.
I was wondering if anyone who pre ordered with Best Buy has heard anything yet?
I called my local BB and they said to call back on Saturday.

I did the preorder in store and I'm just waiting for Sunday
Order online...i calll so see i can pick up at store..order could not be change because they dont have any in stores.....most they could do is cancel my order from feb 5 and place a new one to have pick up at store...i woyld wait on ups i guesss....most likely stored already sold out

First world problems.
Best Buy Mobile
Just came back from Best Buy Mobile they told me the shipment was in and my Note was there but I can't pick it up til Sunday wich I am fine with as long as I get my free case and $50 bucks off and don't have to wait til Tues
this doesn't make sense to me. AT&T and Best Buy get their phones at the same time yet we have to wait until after it's available at the stores and those who ordered from AT&T already got theirs. At least ship it so I get it the same day it's available at the store.
You people are acting like this is a huge surprise that they won't let you get it now. We have a CONTRACT with At&t to not sell until Sunday. You all knew this when You preordered. To the people complaining about them not shipping in Sunday, well looks like YOU made the dumb decision to not just go pick it up in stores.

you can't select to pick up at store for this order.
I'm glad I ordered through Best Buy... I just went to an AT&T store during lunch to ask if they have received any Notes in yet because I wanted to see one just to see how big it actually was. I haven't held one yet, just have seen pictures. I saw a rep walking toward me and I asked him if they had received any yet and he said no, to which I said that it surprised me... He then told me that it was supposed to be released this spring! I, rather sarcastically, replied that it was going to be released on Sunday, then walked out the door.
Really? You're supposed to support a device as big, and NOTEworthy (pun intended) as this and you don't even know when it's going to be released?!

+1. In a few days I'll be a happy Best Buy customer with $50 gift card and free case.
I almost forgot to use my 50$ BB card, because they never gave me one...
For pre-ordering the EVO, you're supposed to get 50$ BB card. My EVO was shipped to my residence, not the store. I am not sure if it is the same with others that dealt with Bestbuy, but they haven't contacted me in any way to redeem such a gift card. Maybe it has to do with the fact that it was not shipped to a Bestbuy store for pickup?? I am going to Bestbuy this evening and plan to use the 50$ toward the Otterbox case, they better honor it which they are still offering new EVO LTE purchasers- and I'm taking my receipt with me.
Maybe I missed something?
And... what did you buy with your 50$?

When I picked up my phone at Best Buy last Thursday, they applied the $50 Freedom discount, the $50 gift card discount, and the $50 trade-in of my old original EVO to my new EVO 4G LTE upgrade. I walked out of the store with the new phone, case + holster, Rocketfish car charger (needed new one) and Zagg HD shield for $94 and some change.
Make sure you get your $50 gift card. I think I do remember reading something where it said that it would be emailed to you in 2 - 3 days.
I just pre ordered today ti said I should still get the 50 gc as promotion is running to June 3.

I believe I saw the sign you are referring to when I pick up my EVO. I read it and the wording was confusing to me, so I asked about it. What I was told was that it was in reference to the planned launch date of 5/18 that was presented in last weeks flyer and not the $50 gift card offer. The offer was only mentioned as to provide a reference to the specific ad... or so I was told.
I was also told that I would receive my $50 gift card via e-mail in a few days, but I have not seen anything as of today. I will probably call them tomorrow if I don't get anything by then.
Ok this is weird I checked my email to see if anything was sent to me. I remembered getting emails saying I had x number of days left to pick it up. I didn't think much of it since I already picked it up. Then I got an email that said my preorder was canceled. I just read it again and it said
" Your reserved order has been cancelled because it was not picked up at the MANCHESTER MO Best Buy store #1897 within 3 days of confirmation. A refund has been issued for the amount of the cancelled item(s)."

Yeah so I went back to my best buy this morning and got my 50 dollar gift cards they sent them to me in the email got them 30 minutes later. funny thing is if I didn't ask they wouldn't have given them to me and they acted surprised when I told him there was this gift card.
Just fyi. Got my local paper and couldn't believe such a price drop this early. I'd figure maybe a $50 price cut, but not $100. I will pick mine up today.

Bought 2 phones the day before the Best Buy sale, and went back in 2 days later and was refunded the $200 plus tax. Not complaining about that at all
I bought my phone the day before this sale went live, apparently. I called the Best Buy 800 number and the lady said I would have to go into the store since I bought it there.
Walked in with my receipt, told the guy what had happened, and he happily price matched it for me. Took all of about 3 minutes since he had to get a manager override.
This phone for $99.99 is insanity. Thanks for the heads up, everybody who posted this.
Got mine today.. $144 out the door.
I'm thinking of picking this up but I don't want to enter a contract being Canadian and all...
I want to get a friend in the states to buy it and then I can drive over and pick it up from her...
Would the following strategy work:
Buy the phone from Best Buy and sign an AT&T contract. Get phone for $99+tax.
Next day, call up AT&T and cancel contract. Pay $325+tax for ECF.
End up with brand new Optimus G for 425 + tax.
What do you guys think, would this work? Or would I have to pay AT&T extra (Atleast 1 month of service etc etc)?
Wanna pick this up before December 1st so quickly need to make a decision...
