Oddly, a few hours after I posted this thread, I got notice that they had my phone at the store. The main reason why I stuck with Best Buy through all of this is because I had a $50 off a phone upgrade coupon. Also, my credit card offers 5% off at Best Buy this quarter. So, I got the phone for $237.50 instead of $300. (Plus 2% off via reward zone points = $231.50 final price). That price was certainly worth the wait, in my opinion.
