Well this is odd... I called a CSR and dropped the Nexus name and the doorways reference, she went away to talk to a supervisor for like 5 minutes. When the CSR came back, she said I didn't qualify for the 3g/4g discount, but she would give me a $100 credit on the Nexus when it was released. Added it to my account notes
I think this goes to show that they have alot of power to treat you right, you just have to find one in the mood and be a charmer
