Buy a Priv at AT&T Store "Not Happening"
I am T-Mobile customer and I had pre ordered two Priv's the day the pre orders where announced and after spending a half hour on the phone with DR yesterday and them not wanting to commit to a ship date, I cancelled both of my pre orders. Well, after severals folks on this forum suggested that I just go to the AT&T store and buy one and stop complaining, well I did just that this morning figuring I could buy one and have it unlocked by BlackBerryCodeSource to use on T-Mobile and guess what???
They WILL NOT sell a NON AT&T customer the Priv even if you are willing to buy it at full retail!!! You have to be an AT&T customer or have an account with them to purchase the phone. So for all you folks telling others to just go and buy one, this is false information. I went to three AT&T corporate stores this morning and they all told me the same thing. No one is going dump their carrier to jump to AT&T for the sake of buying a Priv, Just wanted to put this out there to clear things up.
