    Hey everybody.

    Based on your experiences with various mobile phone stores, do "Authorized Retailers" such as RadioShack (and basically any other non-company-owned store) tend to have newly released devices at the same time as the corporate stores? If not, how long does it usually take before they get them?

    My question is directed toward the Bold, obviously, but I'm mostly asking for a retrospective opinion from previous BlackBerry releases from any of you who either bought a phone from one of these retailers or have some experience with them. I'm attracted to RadioShack because they give instant rebates instead of waiting however long for a mail-in rebate, and, given the choice, I'd rather not worry about a rebate.

    Thanks!

    the few online retailers I've used get them within a day or two or at least that's been the case with the last few phones I've been following lately

    I work for a sprint ASC. We get the new phones the same time as the corporate stores do. The pricing is usually the same too.
