    I am looking to move to a 9930 from my Tour, I have noticed the prices at bestbuy are so much better than at the Verizion store, Anyone know what if any advantage there is to buying at Verizion?
    Thanks

    no real advantage. I've only purchased my phone from my carrier once because it was the cheapest out of every store. Every other phone I've purchased online.

    Amazon usually has the 9930 cheaper too.

    Phones are almost always cheaper when you buy them at a 3rd party retailer such as Best Buy, Wal-Mart, or Sam's Club. No advantage to buying direct from VZW.

    BestBuy also offers the BEST insurance for your phone!!! its $10 a month but worth it if there is a malfunction they replace with a brand new one (EVERY TIME!) not a refurb from your carrier

    had it for my Bold 9780 had to replace the thing 2x for that keyboard malfunction and got a new phone every time no hassle

    No brainer there...Verizon charges a $30 restocking charge I believe. But you will get the same phone either way, no advantages other than saving X amount of dollars.

    I've never compared apples-to-apples on bestbuy vs vzw but have read in other CB posts that the bestbuy's $99 phone deal is attached to a more expensive monthly plan, so they make up the difference in the contracted service rather than in the price of the phone.

    As I mentioned, I've never looked into it closely enouth to confirm it, but thought I'd mention it FYI. Others can clarify/correct this if you know the comparitive details.
