A bb guy told me the other day about the upcoming sale. He says its precursor to new ipad3 and new Model stock should be arriving about a week after apple announces. Thats how it was last year. I bought my ipad2 on march 11 at bb store near me. They had about 25 of each model -- black and white, wi fi and 3g, att and verizon. I was about 25th in line of about 100 people. They had it set up in a section of the store. I got there around 3pm and they started selling around 5pm. Everybody had o fill out a form checking off which model they wanted. Some didnt get what they wanted. Sold out right away except for some 64gb 3g. I bought a 16gb wifi white and used the 18 month deal. Its the best plan in the business. You get if you spend $420 or more. No questions asked return in 14 days. I bought a perfect open box mbp base 13 inch s5 the same way for a bargain $800. You also get points and coupons. Normalky i think bb stores are crap but if you know what you want and what the deals are it can be great.
