Buy online or buy at the store???

Online
Get it sometime Friday (maybe, as long as Fedex shows up)
Pay $100 plus tax ($110) NE2
Not deal with mail in rebate
Not fight over additional corp discounts (20% on net package and 25% on accessories)
See the phone before I buy

Store
Get it at 6am Thursday
Pay $200 plus tax ($220) NE2
Deal with mail in rebate (-$100)
Maybe hassle over additional corp discounts
Get it for sure and start playing sooner
End up paying an additional $10 (in tax)

What to do...What to do???:thinking:

thought online it would be 199 and in store it would be 299 minus 100 MIR havent been paying much attention to contract prices cause I am not eligible for upgrade for 5 months or so

guess it doesnt really matter though still same should I or shouldnt I. I for one will never step foot in a store to buy anything. I will use them as a pawn to play with and order online. that being said had they allowed me to order in store at full retail I would be there in the morning. in the end and next week it wont matter, its one day.

I'm going to the store! I have a 6:30 AM appointment and was told I would walk out with one. I don't want to wait till Friday. Only those with appointments will be allowed in before 8:00. She sent me an email which I have to show for early admission. I'm so excited!! Hope I don't have any trouble going to sleep tonight.

online, instant rebate is the reason. I don't want to deal with it
plus with the NE2 I have, and the 10% off coupon code (PRMCD10)
I get the phone a day later with 110 bucks less down than in store.
I can wait... I hope

I don't think the 10% code works with the NE2...at least it wouldn't for me when I mocked up an Incredible purchase today...no where to enter a code.:mad:
