Last year I pre-ordered my iPhone with Best Buy and I loved it. It was very painless and no long lines. Occasionally I enjoy standing in lines at the Apple stores for the networking and getting to meet new people who share in my same love. I've just found Best Buy to be a little easier. Last year I pre-ordered and they called me the day before to set up my appointment for day the phone came out. I was in and out on launch day in 5 mins. I went to the same Best Buy in Cincinnati Fields Ertel and as of 1pm eastern time they didn?t know if they would be doing pre-orders this year. Has anyone heard differently.
