What I mean by screwing up the account is that if you had the rep renew your service, they might have "rebuilt/reprovisioned" the account already, and then cancel your phone, which might make getting a NE2 and other discounts not work right. Or you might not be able to activate the service because of an issue with the ESN.

If you do get a phone, and you can't activate, complain, especially since you bought it.

Hopefully those that said it's good to go, get it.

I will be one who waits until that last week in September. But what is really funny... Last time I went to Florida, I received my SCH-i730 the day before I left. If I order this one and overnight it, I will have it the day before I go to Florida....

And in Florida the last time I spent a LOT of time working on the FAQ... Guess I know what I will be doing in my downtime when in Florida, and not doing wedding stuff for my sis... Guess you all benefit...
