The unofficial "I reserved @ Radio Shack" Thread

There's going to be 10 at the store I'm going to.

OMFG 2 days... I'm dying here.

Hey if I buy the Inspire from Radio Shack can I still return it to AT&T before my 30 day trial is up?

Or do I have to return it to Radio Shack? If so how does this work with the 30 day trial?

I'm not positive, but I highly doubt you can buy at the shack and return it at att.

 

[JSchu22]

Im positive that you can't.

Yea I just called the Best Buy Mobile near my house and he's looking at 10 boxes first come first serve Sunday. I'm gonna go ahead and pick up the Inspire for $99 and test drive it for 30 days until the Atrix comes out. The store rep said I can return it to Best Buy within the allotted time, only difference from AT&T is that I don't have to deal with a rebate.

So 9am Sunday morning I'm there.

I found the Inspire for only $70 at Walmart: HTC Inspire 4G (AT&T) | LetsTalk.com
EDIT: Nvm, I guess it's not anymore...

I was at Radio Shack at 10:05, a few minutes after they opened. A scant 75 minutes later (sigh), I finally have my Inspire.

Some points:

Although AT&T is listing the price at $399, Radio Shack is selling it for $449. I even had the guy call the District Manager. No go on the lower price. Considering the $30 accessories card, it's kinda only $20 more...plus I have it in my grubby hands.

The $30 accessories cards were "not on hand". He gave me a $30 gift card instead. So, I think I'll get my accessories somewhere else and just use the card on something else down the road.

I let the guy take care of the doors. He snapped the SIM/SD door in half! Without even having to complain, he went and got a new one from another phone.

I'm glad to be out of there. I won't be ordering any big ticket items from them in the future.

Yesterday I went to costco and brought the phone for $80. They also gave me car charger, headphones and carry pouch as a bundle (free). The $50 gift card that was locked with RS for the pre order i used to get lifetime map update service for my gps.
Never again will I make any advance bookings in RS

I got mine around 10:15-10:30. Yep, some hassles with the battery door but mostly the guy was really pleasant to work with and got me set up with relatively low hassle. I don't regret pre-ordering there but I think I was the only one so I didn't really need to do that I also got a car charger with the accessory credit. Phone is next to me charging up as we speak!
