Has that not been up since the U.S. opened Best Buy preorders for the 920?

Grr... I got excited about this until I saw the line "Not available for shipping." I would definitely have bought it otherwise.

I don't really know. Just noticed it

I don't really know. Just noticed it

BestBuy accidentally let preorders open up on October 21st. I preordered a Cyan one.

Nokia - Lumia 920 4G with 32GB Mobile Phone - Cyan (AT&T) - 920


But then they closed it. The 21st was originally suppose to be the preorder date for the US.

Yea but I don't know if it was up on Canadian website as well

Whoa. Just noticed right at the end of the page,
"Please Note: $50 Pre-order Deposit In-store Only. Some conditions apply. See in-store for details effective Nov 1 - 12th, 2012. "

A quick Google search tells us it was put up 5 hours ago: https://www.google.ca/search?q=roge...0bed6c88ff0d9b&bpcl=37189454&biw=1280&bih=920

Went to a Bestbuy in Mississauga today:

1. They were not ready to even accept the pre-order. Had no idea it was on the website
2. They were still willing to do it, but I asked if I could buy it outright, to which they said "no". They only sell phones on contract.

So, I didn't end up getting it. I will just wait for my rogers pre-order or pick it up at rogers in store if I see it earlier.

Same for the US as well. I went to my local BB and asked. The salesman looked it up and the date said TBD but they would take a $50 deposit.
