If you’re not drooling over the DROID and Android 2.0 right now, you either have a heart of stone or you’ve been living under a rock. Motorola’s come-back device goes on sale November 6 for $199, but you know what the deal is at Verizon retail stores — mail-in rebates. Want to avoid the lines and the MIR? Head to Best Buy between October 29 and November 6 to and pre-order your Droid and you’ll be killing two birds with one stone: you know you’ll have a device with your name on it when it hits stores and you won’t have to wait around for your rebate card in the mail. This looks like a win-win situation to us boys and girls. Thoughts?

    My girlfriend and I went to BB in Billings,Mt yesterday and pre-ordered two droids. We got her Ne2 discount of $100 and were given our gift cards. The guy worked with us to re-do her contract and we saved some money. Out of the 50 phones they will get we were the numbers 48 and 49. YIPPEE!!! we made an appointment for Friday to pick our phones up and the whole thing took us about 15 minutes total. I recommend these guys.

    Is it possible to return/exchange the phone within 30 days without hassles if purchased through Best Buy like they do in the Verizon stores? I’ve pre-ordered two, and I’m very excited to get them, but hearing some of the concerns with the camera and stuff I’d feel better knowing I have the option just in case.

      If you have concerns why don’t you just wait a bit until the real review (users) come in and then decide.

        I just did an online chat I confirmed that they do 30 day returns. That’s good to know.

        ..and we need new phones as soon as possible, as my wife’s KRZR has finally bit it, so we’re a bit rushed to get a replacement.

        The Droid sounds like a great phone, and it sounds like the issues I’ve heard of so far are fixable via software. Spending this much money though, I’m glad to know I can try the phone myself.

    Yes I too have pre order the phone from best buy, but here the catch they dont know whether they will be able to fill the pre orders that they have, i am third on the list, and the woman told me if they only get 2 phones that i would have to wait, they pre order by selling you a gift card with your deposit and when i said well i want it refunded since i thought my chances will be better at my verizon store at 6 am they said they dont give refunds on gift cards, what a rip off. Best buy sucks, i will never do business with them again.
