i think a lot of us got it ASAP because the 20% off at bestbuy expires friday (note that you can also get triple rewardzone points; i just found that out after i bought the phone - google it). i guarantee that if one was to buy this phone from sprint a year from today it will cost more than what i paid yesterday - which generally never happens with any sort of electronics. it's under warranty for a year, so swapping out due to a defect is relatively simple.
