You can take that with a grain of salt :(

Best Buy to offer Sprint Hero, Pre order NOW AVAIL In Some Locations
 

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/...ome-locations/

Best Buy announced yesterday that it would be Sprint’s exclusive retail partner (for 60 days, we hear) for the highly anticipated HTC Hero, which will be available at each of Best Buy’s 1,044 locations across the country beginning October 11th. As is always the case with Best Buy Mobile, there is no need to bother with that pesky mail-in rebate as BBYM is spotting customers the $100 and offering the Hero for a straight $179.99 on a 2-year contract. We’ve also learned that while pre-orders aren’t officially available yet, some locations are already offering to cement your position at the front of the Hero line. For those of you with nearby Best Buys that aren’t willing to bend the rules, pre-orders should officially be available in just over a week. If you’re lucky however, a lax location, a friendly sales rep and a $50 deposit are all you need to make it happen — as you can clearly see from the image above.

Yup, Touch Pro for me and Android for the lady.

What are the advantages of pre-ordering? Do you get it quicker? Just reserve your spot in line so you don't have to go at doors open to get the 2-3?

How has Best Buy been in the past about pre-orders? I've heard of many cases where people that get it pre-ordered actually receive it later than those that cruise in and grab them.

I am not eligible for the 2yr upgrade price which $150 off...But I am eligible for the 1yr of $75...Will Best Buy give me the 1yr upgrade price still or should I just go through Sprint..?

The title should be changed to pre-order.

this phone is good for my girlfriend. she can't handle the power of a tp2 and definitely will not be doing any customizations, she just needs a phone to work right out of the box, i will be picking this up for her.
