From a firefighter who worked a Thanksgiving day 24 hour tour:
We drove past the Best Buy in Reston @ around 4:15 am coming back from 2 false alarm fires back to back. Line stretched around the corner. There were people literally camping out in front of Office Depot.
FossilMedic was also shopping in the wee hours, sitting in his pajamas and ordering a Droid from Verizon Wireless.
Despite all of the commercial information on the internet, it was Rodney Gentry’s review for Firegeezer that was the dealmaker.
This picture helped as well
Ordered phone at 4:52 am, notified that the phone shipped at 7:38 am, with delivery next business day. How cool!
I intended to go to one of the larger retail stores this morning, but VerizonWireless provided a $100 discount if I bought it on-line.
The last time I used the “New-Every-Two” program rebate I had to mail the original receipt and proof-of-purchase. Took weeks. Immediately applied to this transaction.
