Didn't know the ads were printed so far in advance.

If you notice, they don't have any sprint phones on sale, this is odd because they always advertise for sprint.

Ads are ready quite a while in advance. Something that doesn't have an unbelievably hard-set release date that's well-known typically won't end up in the ad for this reason. They can't risk it changing and screwing up the ad.

I found out from a friend today that his BB has them already. He works there and he actually brought this up by himself. We were talking about early products come into the store before a release date. I will try and find out if BB has to do anything to the phones, or if they are shipped back for a reflash.

It would be nice to get the phone from him with my rewards discount, but I would rather keep my SERO plan. It would be a lot cheaper in the long run.

Do you know for sure that we can't renew our SERO plans if we buy from Best Buy?

I believe Turbofool said that its possible to keep your existing SERO plan even if you buy through Bestbuy (correct me if I'm mistaken Turbofool).

The employee will have to call it in rather than use their regular system.

No. I was assuming that. I might have to try BB now since this coupon includes renewing a 2 year contract. It would be awesome to keep my SERO and use the coupon. That would be a sweet deal. I'm going to talk to my friend for sure tomorrow about this.
