Before you Bold9930 at Best Buy
Just giving you guys the heads up that Best Buy is going to charge you taxes on the full $500+ price of the phone. I had ordered my wife's phone online but I canceled the order because there was some weird issue that delayed it. I figured I would go to Best Buy since the phone was on sale, but I found out the hard way that I had to pay $50 of taxes on my $100 phone. Sucks. Just letting you know.

This is because they can "claim" that you are actually paying the full retail price over the length of your contract and therefore paying the tax up front.

So I take it you didn't read any of the replies about california rules?
