I'll be traveling on business when the Pearl comes out on the 12th. I've got some free time in the morning, however, and would like to head over to T-Mobile to be first in line.

In the event that I have to return the device, however, does it have to go back to the store where it was purchased, or can I return it to any T-Mobile location?

I would imagine that you can return it to any Tmo store, but I'd check if I were you...

[pspiegel]

you can return it to any t-mobile store.. i have done it before in two different stores in california (one northern one southern).. as long as it is a t-mobile branded store and not an authorized retailer, you should be fine, not sure if crossing state lines should make a difference..

Why not wait and see if there are any showstopper bugs? It's not like the Pearl is going to vanish.

I'm with havaloc. Why not wait for a little while and see what happens with the phone...it's not going anywhere but cheaper... unless you're one of those guys who want the latest and greatest; or loaded and don't care. ;)
