If it says "authorized xxxx" on the sign, it's not a corporate store, and they're required to have that on their sign outside.
I got mine on Memorial Day at a Microsoft store. I dealt with the assistant manager. I asked how many 928's had been sold and he said "a couple". I guess I was number 3.
If you live near a Microsoft store, you should definitely get your phone there. The most friendly and knowledgeable people you will find. And, they give you the best deal on the phone. Best price, best trade-in prices by far, best warranty, Bing Challenge credit and extra SkyDrive storage. But, they only sell it in white, which has really grown on me over the past week.
Extra SkyDrive storage??? They didn't say anything to me about that....
I just wonder how well the sales figures would improve if they'd at least advertise it a little. To this point, I think I've only seen one ad for the 928 and it wasn't on tv either, but rather a billboard.
At the risk of being attacked for merely stating a fact, on bestbuy.com the Lumia 928 ranks 33rd in sales out of a total of 73 Verizon devices. It is getting slaughtered by iPhone and Android there. Is this indicative of all of Verizon sales? I don't know, so take it for whatever you want it to be. The good news, though, is that it seems to be climbing.
I purchased mine on release day from a Microsoft store because nobody had it. Since then my friend has been trying to get it from Best Buy to use his Reward Zone points to get it for free. However Best Buy doesn't have it in the local stores, they never have. Nor has he been able to get it online. Not even our Best Buy Business Rep can get them. So I'd guess that the reason why they're not selling is ether because their not really carrying them much or can't get a supply of them.
