I just put my pre-order in at a Best Buy in a suburb of Chicago. They took a $50.00 deposit that will be refunded as a gift card when the phone arrives, that was it, no need for the $199.00 today. The Best Buy sales person said I was the first one that he knew of at that store to get the pre-sale, which was at 6:00 PM and I thought there would have been more already... seeing that video of the Droid and the new navigation capability put me over the edge. Now having to wait till the 6th is going to be tough, then I can retire my wimpy HTC Touch that I do not even have a data plan for anymore because I thought it was pretty useless trying to browse the web.... can't wait to see if Droid really Does...

Oh, I forgot to mention, the Best Buy did have a non-working sample on hand, but it felt pretty real. The build quality felt very sturdy, and it looked great. I have been wanting a physical keyboard style but all of the "horizontal sliders" have been just a little too thick, this was amazingly thin for a slider. The keyboard buttons did not move on the sample, so we will have to see how they feel and there is nothing differentiating one key from the next, but for as much as I plan on using the keyboard that did not seem to be a deal breaker.

That Google Maps Nav w/Street View is so nice, will just wait for Sprint to get it

Yes I too have pre order the phone from best buy, but here the catch they dont know whether they will be able to fill the pre orders that they have, i am third on the list, and the woman told me if they only get 2 phones that i would have to wait, they pre order by selling you a gift card with your deposit and when i said well i want it refunded since i thought my chances will be better at my verizon store at 6 am they said they dont give refunds on gift cards, what a rip off. Best buy sucks, i will never do business with them again.
