Read the quote above I pasted from Best Buy's website. I can't post the link since I'm new...
Unless I'm missing something it looks like you can do it today. I'm going to try when it opens as there's one right by my house.
Edit: added a screen shot from the site, you'll see where I cut and pasted at the bottom of the pic.

So I just put down the $50 for the preorder.. I am going to be using an upgrade from my family plan.. Will the 1 year mfg warranty still be in tact?

Yes

i just pre ordered my htc last night, $50 at BB and got $50 gift card back... win win i think i cant wait to pick it up.. they told me come back sat. for appt.. what ever that means..

I have a quick question.
So its $50 down to pre-order, but what is the full price against which you are pre-ordering? And what is this about a $50 gift card as well.
Also, can you change your mind on the pre-order? The reason I ask is I will be adding this phone as a new ATT transfer number line onto an existing VZW family plan, so I don't know if BB will do that or if I have to call VZW directly.
I am thinking of stopping by on the way home and pre-ordering, but I wanted to clarify those two things before I go out of the way to BB.
Thanks.

the $50 down to pre-order secures your spot. You get a $50 giftcard, that is your preorder, which you can use towards the total cost of the phone. If you change your mind, you now have a $50 giftcard

No full price as of yet
The gift card holds your $50 till your ready to pay or get a refund
I'm planning on buying it full price and hoping they will let me
I would say pre order just in case because you can get a refund

My local (Southern,NH) BB knew nothing of a a pre-order, said they do stuff first come first served and he also, supposedly doesn't know anything about a release date.
EDIT: Given the info in this press release and the fact that he told me the VZW rep had been in that day, I can't believe the guy "didn't know anything" ... wtf ....

It's all over in the blog sites. I hope it wont be delayed as I did the $50 deposit, but it just might. Actually, for 2/14 being only 5 days away... it's looking more towards a delay as we dont have hardly any unboxing videos (except on from Engaget).

Is it normal for an unboxing to be a "pre-production" model? That's what the wirefly guy said.
I don't usually watch the unboxing videos, so IDK.

Just watched a video on phone arena showing the VZW iphone has the death grip antenna problem , couldn't happen to nicer phone !! ha-ha.

Nice, seven batteries for $25 dollars, cant beat that.

I just bought a set, why not? Doesn't just one normally cost more than that?

Awesome find. However, I think I'm going to stick with this.

I bought the battery lot and the charger dock...rcvd tracking info for both....should be here next week

Git my stuff today not as perfect as yours but for price I'm not gonna complain 3 were still in plastic 3 were not and 1 u can tell was water damaged or atleast triggered the white watermark thing to red. Sent me a screen protector with it. Will be testing the batteries throughout the week see how they do but seriously if only 2 work Wichita I'm sure prob all work was still worth it. Also bought the charger dock from him its nice I can charge a battery and phone at same time with it so that's nice and now I have an extra wall charger so all in all it was prob one beat deals I've managed to get in a while and thanks to original poster for the great find.

My lot sounds exactly like yours. No complaints though cause just the charger was worth more than what I paid for it all.

I'm loving my spare HW4X! This thing charges really fast!

Wow, nice find! I like it
It would be interesting to see if this can be used with the wall charger though (as opposed to a PC), and if that will bring a faster charge time.

looks nice

I like this idea better then the orb.

I think that only stores or dealers can buy
this is the response I received for information via email

What did you email? I think you have to be clear that you are personal consumer and not just a customer, a customer can be anybody, i.e. a retailer.
Try and find out the release date and price, that would be interesting.

Looks terrific! But we obviously need more information, like if we can also charge through the wall charger and not only USB.
Waiting for more info

Don't know if you all noticed, but at the bottom of the page: http://www.myqimini.com/files/Qimini-FactSheet.pdf
It mentions a travel charger, so *hopefully* that means that it has an AC charger that pushes the juice a bit faster than a standard USB (2) port.
They do list the output current as 1A, which is good.

If its real and not real expensive then I would have one. It would be nice when I travel just to set that up on the night stand and leave it there as I go out and about when traveling.

Assuming you did something that would trigger Knox being ticked on your device, doesn't it void your warranty? How would you be able to get a replacement? I would like to know lol.

I just got a refurb today, that was KNOX tripped. TMo said "we can ship you out a new one, but we can't guarantee that the counter won't be tripped." F that noise!

I don't think they check if Knox is tripped mine was tripped because of the MM leak it locked me out and it wouldn't boot up past the boot screen after I had received my replacement I was able to get the older one back to stock I just sent it in like that and they haven't told me anything it's been 1 week

They are amazing, at least from my experiences. They consistently know everyone by name in the store and always turn a blind eye to KNOX issues.

I was pissed that a promotion wasn't available even though it was still on the website. A supervisor agreed to honor it as a credit to my bill without too much argument.

Sprint replacement phone's anyone got on yet

Has anyone received a replacement from Sprint yet? I keep staring at mine waiting for it to self combust. Not sure if i should return mine and go back to the note 4 or not. if the consumer protection agency actually releases a statement saying that we should discontinue using our phone could sprint or samsung actually deny the exchange if we ignore it?

I think we have to wait until the Government approves the replacements. So who know when that will happen. I did go back to my note 4 but have not returned the Note 7 yet. Waiting to see how long it will take to get those replacements. If within a week or so, then will wait, if more than a month, then returning the Note 7 for now and getting my upgrade back and will decide whether to buy it again later or just wait for the Note 8.

Sprint guy today told me he expects mid next week before they start trickling in.
