Ya I just called my local bestbuy near houston and they said they have them but they can inky sell them on friday. Also I advise you to ask them ti match the tmobile price cause I got them to give me 3 phones for $200 each! Originally it was 1 phone for $200 but I asked them if I could get 2 more, and they said yes. I called att for the price match but they said that I can still buy it from BestBuy

I understood ya.

What I'm saying is that you may walk in and they might say they all went to pre-orders, see us in a month or so.

That's what I'm looking at, since I am trying to do a walk in buy on Friday "somewhere"
Where did you call in West Palm? That's where I am too? Sounds like I will have to go to one of the ATT stores come Friday rather then BB if that is all the stock they are getting.

I'm buying the ATT, selling it and buying the TMO one if there are no issues with the TMO on att and the Boot is unlocked
Gotcha. I gotta buy full price either way so trying to decide. Apparently it is bootloader unlocked and does work with ATT LTE almost everywhere that ATT LTE is ( not everywhere cause it is missing one of the bands I think). Being that this will be my first Android device though, I am trying to decide if I really need to be able to root the device right away.

I have a fully Rooted Original International note.

It's really nice to strip unwanted bloatware off and turn off un-needed services that are unnecessary. Also be able to access the entire file system.

Not to mention all the Kernels, Mods, Roms, early firmware access, etc, etc

I can't imagine not having one that was Rooted and Boot unlocked.

I had a Nokia 900 before this and it was fully Open Linux, rooted from the Factory. Best Multi Tasking phone that has ever existed, much better than any android to date in that respect. Nokia abandoned the project for WinBlows and that was that.

So I've had a Rooted Open phone for 5 years, can't go back now.

Any advantage of getting from bestbuy than tmobile store ?
Well u can't get the AT&T version at the T-Mobile store. Also many of us want to rack up reward points. I'm an silver rewards member and want to have longer return period if anything fails. I remember having a Nintendo Wii that died on the 42nd day, it was an easy swap and I didn't have to deal with manufacturer warranty. Also, some are able to take advantage to the $50 giftcard. And others rather have bestbuy insurance than at&t's.

Do you think I should go prepay for one today to get it tomorrow? I have several best buys near me so I'm not sure if I need to worry about them being sold out
