Direct Ship to Best Buy a week before... is that what I heard you say?

Perhaps they will get it sooner. When should we start bothering our local Best Buys? I am still stuck with my 700wx and wasn't around for the touch pro launch.

I'm not the most patient person in the world, and thus I want this phone the fastest route possible. And in stores and online is exactly what I've been told by chat support.

Well yeah, they could overnight the phone to you for a few extra dollars and you could get it on the next day, of course that would also be dependant on how early you ordered it on the 3rd anyway. Me personally I will try to get it on the 3rd and have it overnighted if that can't happen then I will just wait a few days later and get it locally.

Hmm, ordering on the 3rd and having it overnight shipped would give it to me on the 4th, the Friday which begins Labor Day weekend. That would give me a long weekend to play with my new toy. Sounds good to me!

I'm currently a SERO customer and want to remain one while upgrading to the TP2. What's my best route to take? Call customer support and if they b!tch too much ask for customer retention? Or, go to my local Sprint store, or head to Best Buy??

The "Orange" is referring to the LG Rumor2....

There is no price restrictions on the phone so you will be good to go any route you go. If you want to call in and order through CS or online or wait until the 8th and go into a store it really doesn't matter. Order the phone and activate simple as that.
