Default Best Buy Preorders

How does the pre ordering at Best Buy work? I haven't bought a phone since 2007 and that was an iPhone, I just walked up to at&t store and got it (Evo 4g now)

Anyway, at BestBuy, you obviously have to get a contract with it, do they offer 1 year contracts with it? Or solely two years. I will just go there and ask if none of you know. Just wanted to save some trouble.
Danke

I just pre-ordered today.

U just write ur info on a droid-x preorder form. put 50 bucks which can be canceled if u change ur mind. they'll check ur eligibility for upgrade, write up the plan u want (went with the cheapest), and finally writing ur name and number on the list.

they might call u during the launch. they put me on a 2 yr plan, but during launch I'll ask for a year. see how that goes

They've reached their pre order limit.

I want a one year contract but wanted to preorder it. I spoke with Verizon, and they said that Best Buy can indeed set it up with a one year contract. Worst case, according to this rep, is that I buy it with the two year contract and within the first 30 day return window you can change your mind about the contract and they'll bill you the difference in the amount of the 1-year subsidized phone and the 2-year subsidized phone.

I would imagine Best Buy will also sell them outright with no contract if you had a preorder, they just don't know the price yet.
