Default So I'm guessing no installment plan?

I assume since this is going to be sold through Best Buy, similar to that of the nexus being sold through Google, that we can't get this on an installment plan is that correct?

Or is there a way to put this phone on our bill? I don't mind paying for the phone but it helps to be able to spread the payments out. Maybe I'll see if Best Buy will approve me for finance through them.

They have a deal that if you make a purchase over $299 there is no interest for 12 months. Thats not bad at all. You have 12 months to pay off $529 if you buy Nexus S at full price.

This is the exact method i'm trying to get the nexus S. It's the ONLY method i'm able to get it right now because I don't have $566 cash. If we can't get it this way, i'm just gonna have to wait a cpl months so I can buy a used one for a cheaper price.

Same here, but I will just finance through Best buy with their card. 12 months with no interest will be enough for me.

Just got it confirmed through Nexus S support that bb's that sell T-Mobile should be able to sell a nexus S with an em+ plan. Problem is actually finding a store that does. Luckily, I've found one in my area

You are correct.

Check out Best Buy's Nexus S FAQ for answers to questions like this: http://mobileaccessories.bestbuy.com...ccessories.htm

Selling a Nexus S with an even more + plan does not mean the you will be able to use the T-Mobile Equipment Installment Plan, they are 2 different things.
To the best of my knowledge no 3rd party retailers can access EIP so you would have to do any financing through Best Buy.
