You could also call the store in advance, and let them know you are moving out of state, confirm you can get the phone shipped to you from that store. I don't see why they can't do that or get the online or call into the mobile sales group.
Join the crowd. I sold off my DInc a month ago and have been waiting for the TB to launch. 4G is due in my market at the EOY, and the possibility of a jacked price point on the data seriously concerns me and dampens my mood to buy it. Problem is with no other release dates outed yet for the other phones I am leary of waiting for ever.
A couple of points-
the tweet from black_man_x about "paying for it" never really indicated he was talking about cost, rather sacrificing for devices (battery life, etc)
second, on the pricing issue... have any of you considered that the 29.99/unlimited could be the top end of the pricing on smartphones? not likely, but possible

Verizon Wireless: Tiered Pricing Coming This Summer - Though They're Still Not Sure About Specifics | DSLReports.com, ISP Information
"Over the last few years, Verizon's been repeatedly tinkering and experimenting with their wireless data pricing -- trying to figure out what customers are willing to pay. They've also hinted dozens of times that when LTE finally launched, they'd be tinkering with new, more usage-based pricing options. Verizon's LTE network launched last December for USB modem users only, and the pricing wasn't particularly compelling or creative, featuring plans ranging from $50-$80 a month with 5-10GB caps and overages as high as $10 per gigabyte.
When Verizon unveils their first LTE smartphones this summer, you'll finally get yet another pricing shift, which may or may not involve the death of unlimited data for smartphones. Speaking at an investor conference, Verizon stated the new tiers could be based on both usage and speed:
Verizon Communications CFO Fran Shammo told investors at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom conference Tuesday that these upcoming tiered pricing plans could be based upon consumption or speed differentiation, or both. "We are still working on the models," he said. Shammo added that the company initially launched the CDMA version of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone 4 in February with an unlimited $30 per month data plan because it did not want to provide a barrier to anyone who wanted to experience the iPhone. "Everyone knows that isn't long-term," he added. "We will move to tiered pricing in the mid-summer time frame." "
I do think we need to get this on topic before it is closed.
I will set a new poll on what people think of the proposed new data plans and we can talk about it there.

You dont have to renew a contract. Once your contract is up you go month to month. So if someone signs a one year, they have the option to continue after the time is up. Most people renew the contract to get new phone, not just because they have to.

Because this is not the "are you not going to buy the thunderbolt because of speculatory remarks about price gauging" thread.
"Re: NEW: When Will the ThunderBolt be Available for Purchase?"
Please don't argue. A thread about pricing of lte data is reportedly being created. Don't get feisty.

Thank you. Unfortunately since most here don't understand what is off topic this thread will most likely be closed by midnight. We've only been warned at least 3 times TODAY.
