A:Answer Supposedly, you have to go to a store so you can have "the experience". Samsung has said they want to ensure a high level of quality, so you have to pickup at the store and they'll, I guess, tell you not to do the not so bright things reviewers did to ruin their phones back in April. So you order online and pickup at store X is what I'm expecting.
I am struggling to get more information, however. No one seems to know anything - which I find impossible. If product X comes out on day Y, the day before, everyone should know everything there is to know. It would be different if they were told not to tell anyone, but they say they don't know - that has to be a lie. If you're selling a product tomorrow, there's inventory, promotional stand up cardboard things, etc.
