    Pre-order on site, pick up at store?

    Is this possible? Or are online pre-orders exclusive to just the website?

    Pre-order online and you have to wait for it to be delivered. I believe you can sometimes call the stores and have them hold one for you, but this is on a case by case basis I imagine.

    Ugh, guess I gotta call the store then. I'm trading in my iphone 4 at the verizon store to use the store credit for the Nexus purchase.

    Trading at Verizon lets them make money off of you coming and going. Put a decent price on it and craigslist it and you will get way more. Even fleebay after all the fees you will make minimum of $50 more than verizon trade.

    example iphone 4 16gb at verizon trade is $150. Ebay $280 is the going price. if you put it on craigslist you will sell it in less than a day if you price it at $250. Just an example. Ill give you $150 for a working iphone 4 today. Sure my wife would like it.

    Getting $50 extra after going through the cluster-f of listing it on ebay and craigslist (and all the scam emails that go with it) isn't near worth the convenience of just trading it at the store and using the credit right then and there for the purchase.

    Isn't there a site that is dedicated to buy/selling android phones? I swear I saw someone post a link a couple months ago somewhere on DF.

    Here it is...

    So wait... Would it be better to preorder it online or wait in line at the store?
    I live in NYC so I imagine lines are going to be long but I was planning on getting there at 9am. Picking it up in-store is faster too I imagine.

    I can't speak for your location, since it's obviously more populated than mine, but I imagine you could pick one up no problem if you get there when they open.

    As with a higher population, they'll usually get more stock in.
