So what's the bottom line price assuming that it is sold at the retail price of $579 and phone is purchased from BB? Also will we be eligible for the mail in rebate?

i believe best buy will have its own rebates, which will make the phone about the same price, but no one knows for sure. You obviously can't use the rebate you asked about because is specifically states must be purchased thru sprint.com or thru sprint customer service. Plus the phone won't even be out by the 1st, so that rebate is useless.

I signed up for reward zone last night and no problems, maybe the system is just having problems.

Thanks. Worked this time. I guess that I had to try again later (which would be now)

Ok, went to one of the busier Best Buys in my area, and talked with the Mobile Department manager.

Asked him about the Pro, and he said they are getting it "within the next week". He looked up my Sprint info, and advised it would be better for me to add a line to get the best price on the phone.

He took my name and number, and said he would call when they have them in. I mentioned all the discussion on here and other sites about BB getting them on Sunday. He said that is very probable, and would call me Saturday if it indeed was ready for sale on Sunday.

I realize its more he said, she said sh!t... but he was the department manager, and knew all about the phone.

Well... to add to the speculation of the coming weekend - Just got off the phone with local Best Buys stores and one actually said they have 4 on the way for Sunday sale! I asked him to hold it for me and he said no problem. Not holding my breath, but I will be calling Saturday to verify. Wish me luck...

What area is that?

Georgia (North Atlanta). But like I said, I am not holding my breath. The store manager seemed convince and even stated that BB paid more for the early shipment. He also stated that BB would have the lowest price even if they do not have all of the rebates and discounts I may have received in a Sprint store. He said they do honor the Sprint upgrade and new activation discount, but some of the rebates are different.

On a side note... only 2 of the 4 stores I called in my area even knew about the TP. Could be just the local idiot working in the department. When calling there its like rolling the dice!
