So I went to best buy the girl at the mobile center said tomorrow is the day! When I mentioned that I would be buying it out right without upgrading she stayed quite and said I dont know if we can sell it to you like that... But told me to come in tomorrow and she would have more info. Smh... I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Thats not what I had hoped you would say. Well we will know for sure soon enough. It would be stupid if they wouldn't let me give them my $650 though.

Usually this is only at authorized resellers, corporate stores should sell them to you without a problem. I would ask for a manager if it is a corporate store and ask him if he is in the business from turning down money.

Also I would get his name and let him know know you will be reporting this to corporate headquarters or something along them lines.

I really hope that tomorrow I can walk into bestbuy and get the gnex without any problems... I'm ready to say bye to my iPhone 4s

I've heard that for authorized retailers in the past due to limited inventory. I'll be going to a corp store to get mine at full retail.

They play this game every time there is a hot new release. Some locations will tell you that because they make more on new lines and new accounts than an upgrade and they don't make anything when you buy retail and it screws with their commissions.

Pretty much this. THe only retailer I'm aware of that doesn't do off contract is Costco.

I plan on hitting my local corporate store and not having any issues.

Edit: The whole Costco thing was back in September with the bionic so I don't know if that's changed since then.

To all you who are planning on buying at full retail: are you doing this so you can upgrade your phone in < 2 years without paying the ETF? Is that the single benefit? I'm just curious...considering my options for tomorrow.

I'm buying full retail because I don't like contracts..especially 2 year contracts. Had VZW kept their 1 year contracts I would have gone with that. 2 years is way too long to be holding onto the same phone these days.

I'm doing full retail bc I used my NE2 on the 4S. Luckily they are selling really well on eBay so I won't lose that much.

If you've had the 4 you've had the 4s.... Lol

I am buying full retail and then can still get $300 for my 32gb iPhone 4 so I will pretty much be upgrading for $350
