- Preorders for BlackBerry Torch 9800 Available at Best Buy Mobile | PocketBerry
I couldn't find it for the $149 price though. I just called my local BB and was told they haven't heard anything about pre-orders yet. Maybe in a couple of days.08-06-10 01:21 PMLike 0 -
- Just got off the phone with another BB that's close to me and was told no. When I told him that it's all over the internet that they're doing pre-orders now, he said hold on a sec. Then said yes they're doing pre-orders. It's $199.99 and a $50 deposit to hold it that gets returned in a $50 BB gift card.08-06-10 01:26 PMLike 0
- Not sure if you can do it over the phone. You're supposed to be able to do it on their website, but so far I haven't found it. Anyone?08-06-10 01:49 PMLike 0
- This is exactly it. I just came from Best Buy and did the pre-order (was told I was the first person to do so). The price will be $199, they charge you $50 but give you a $50 gift card with your receipt so you can use it on the phone when you go back and pick it up.08-06-10 02:21 PMLike 0
- Ok guys, here's what I got from the guy in my town. He said that I would have to come down there and do it and it is only on pre orders. This much I was told for sure though - they will have it on the 12th. I was told that HE is giving it to me so I'm thinking it is at their discretion. This gentleman knows me pretty well because I've bought about 6 blackberrys from him so far. If he is able to drop it down to 149 - how much more can we push for ? I wonder !!08-06-10 02:25 PMLike 0
- Thanks! Glad to know that someone was able to do this successfully. I'll be heading there tonight. I just wish we could pre-order online to save the trip to the store. I hope BB is going to have cases or screen protectors so I can put that $50 GC to good use.08-06-10 02:27 PMLike 0
- I need help figuring out how to pre-ordering the torch on line. Ca I start a new thread even though it is mentioned I this thread? I am just concerned that people won't know to help since this thread is titled cheaper to buy at best buy. Moderators please let me know.08-06-10 03:19 PMLike 0

And what happens if say....the shipment doesn't arrive on time....there's gonna be some unhappy campers when they show for their appointment...haha08-06-10 07:26 PMLike 0 - Just called my local (Vero Beach Fl) Best Buy and spoke to someone in charge of the mobile phone section. They told me they have not heard anything yet about a pre order program for the 9800 Torch.

BTW, stopped in at BestBuy this afternoon, they were totally clueless about the phone, pricing and pre-order, even though they had signs up about the pre-order.08-07-10 03:52 PMLike 0

Cheaper to buy 9800 from Best buy

Why did BB 9800 have to be an AT&T exclusive? What about T-Mobile? »
