If I switch from a family plan to one of the SEP plans for 1 line, would that make me eligible for a new phone upgrade?

No. If you were to walk into a Sprint store that had it in stock and you only qualified for a 1 yr discount, you would be paying $580 - $75 = $505 + tax and you would NOT qualify for the $130 mail-in rebate (that's only for new customers or current ones who have been out their contract for 22+ months). The Sprint 2yr upgrade price is $300 (same as BB's). So not only is Best Buy giving you a lower 1 yr upgrade price than Sprint ($460 vs $505), but you can also take advantage of the 20% Reward Zone discount ($460 - 20% = $368 ). Its an absolutley great deal. If you want an even bigger discount, wait another 7 days so you can qualify for your 2 yr discount, then get the phone for $300 - 20% = $240 + tax.

It depends on the location. The stores have them, but the release date is 10/26, so a lot of stores will probably hold them until then. Other stores (like mine) will sell you anything they have in stock with a SKU.

Just goto the store. If they give you a problem talk to the manager, say look "other best buys are selling them all over the country, why can't you".

The one in Downtown Chicago just sold one to a co-worker too, said they have about 20.

Would the coupon still work on 11/1? It expires on 11/1. Does that mean it already expired or that is the last day for it to work.
