I got my n810 in Best Buy in the mobile section. There was no display model and they had it hidden away in a cabinet behind the counter. I was told by 4 employees that they did not carry it and never did, but I kept asking different people until one guy opened the case to prove me wrong and we saw 2 devices in their packaging. The guy looked shocked, it was pretty funny actually. The reason I pushed the issue is because I had called ahead and found someone to look up the SKU in the computer. It just took a little convincing to get someone to find it.

On a side note, they also had Nokia N73s n95s and some other unlocked phones in the same case. The guy said no one ever bought one. I told him they might want to try not denying their existence and they might start moving more units.

I guess the main bullet point of my presentation here is to get someone to look it up on the computer and then just pester them until they dig for it.

Cheers,
James
