I'm not 100% positive, but I'm pretty sure you cannot use the Phone Freedom towards the phone...

I asked about that when I almost upgraded before and the guy was like "I can ask my manager but I don't think so, but you can use it for accessories."

Also, I was unaware of any kind of $50 promotional GC like the Evo has... Of Course Watertown does... NH already has theirs in, Watertown gives $50... Dedham does nothing hahaha

I was able to use my phone freedom $50 when I bought Galaxy Note.

I think it's $60. I did it with my evo3D and I should be getting a lot more(even if you subtract the $60) than if I sold it on ebay or anywhere else. I'll do it again with the GS3. The problem is that my buy back amount drops by about $80 if I can't get my GS3 in the next 2 days.

When I asked them about doing the buyback for the SIII, the Rep said they no longer have the buyback program for phones. It is now called Trade-In Plus. There is no fee for it. When you trade-in the phone you just get trade-in value plus $50.

This is kinda frustrating, but I called the 1888 number, and chatted with a fairly nice lady that checked a few places for me.

She said that the BBM (I guess SAS) would "definitely, most definitely" get them before their main warehouse would get them. She said my pre-order online would be shipping from their main warehouse, and that she showed none in either color in inventory. She said she checked her own zip code to see if any stores had any in stock, and I asked her to check a Dallas zip, and she said she didn't show any within a 50 mile radius of the zip code I provided.

Guess I should never pre-order anything online EVER again

Interesting. I never heard of that. I know online, you could have purchased the $60 buy back with S3.

Bad news......I spoke to a manager at my store, he confirmed as rumored, todays GS3 shipment was for Sprint phones only. He looked it up in the system and said no stores in the district or region has been delivered any and they arent expected to get any until the 28th.....I made a stink about the misinfo I got, as recent as this morning, and he is taking $50 off my phone because of it. Whoopty doo :(

I have a feeling that the AT&T phones have been delayed (for best buy) though some people are getting them through AT&T directly.

Looking online, plenty of best buys in my area have Sprint's SGS3 as "in store only" availability, but all of AT&T's are unavailable.
