Why does Best Buy have this phone and the Verizon stores don't?

Because Best Buy backed the money truck up to Samsung headquarters so they could have an 'exclusive' and lure more ppl to their store and make mo' money.

Radio Shack does the same thing too.

Don't always take what the corporate store reps say at face value. I've noticed that they 'play dumb' sometimes in order to try to make a sale.

For example, you ask about Phone X, and they know they're not going to be getting Phone X, but they want to keep you from going to a different store that DOES have Phone X. So they might pretend that they don't know anything about Phone X, and that they 'haven't heard anything about Phone X being available for Verizon, period', so that you start to doubt that anyone has Phone X. Then they try to get you interested in a different phone, one they do have.

Hopefully that isn't what went down in your case, but it doesn't matter, so long as you stuck to your guns and got what you really wanted. πŸ™‚

Actually, they didn't try to sell me anything. They didn't even bother to get up from behind that huge desk. They couldn't have been less aggressive. πŸ™„ But, I did get the phone and for me its just what I need. So far so good. πŸ™‚

Verizon isn't the most informative company towards its employees especially where they won't be carrying a certain product in the near future...
