To clarify, when I went to get it at my local Best Buy, they were out of stock. When he checked stock in other stores, there were only a few left in SE Michigan and the inventory screen, which he showed me, said that it was not available for store order and also that the product was discontinued.
I asked him about the discontinued remark and he said that only meant that Best Buy was discontinuing the stocking of the product. He never called this a clearance sale, but everything he said makes me believe that they dropped the price to move remaining stock, hence the clearance remark.
BTW, I'm loving this phone and debating whether to throw Mango on it, or just wait.
