I got mine on the 25th and have noticed the battery life seems to be improving. Also seems to be staying cooler too. I'm guessing it's learning to not go 100% all of the time.
this what best buy told me:
"Kristopher K:
I have checked and I am afraid to inform you that the product is not eligible for price match the reason is the product is linked with carrier website the price of the product decided by the carrier website and by the competitor, as per price match policy we do not honor the price match for this product."
Would be nice to know the language other people have used to get them to match.

"Juan P:
Unfortunately, we could not apply our Price Match Guarantee [https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cust...300050002] in this case. I am afraid the competitor is not valid for us. Even though it is not valid. What about if you could check another possible competitor?"
going for 3 times a charm and calling the Best Buy # to see if they will do it over the phone.

"We can't price match contracted cellular phones. Only unlocked version of the same. Since Boost Mobile is locked to their network and we don't carry Boost we can't price match it".
I asked about other carriers.
"Even if T-mobile or AT&T have a lower contacted deal we won't be able to match them. It's only for unlocked cellular phone"
So looks there is no way Best Buy will match.
Unless of course they might if you bought the phone came back the next day (without opening it or there is a $45 restocking fee) and they might match it? but I don't have that much time on my hand to go back and forth.
Thank you for posting this! I just finished with Best Buy chat and they were able to price match it for me as well. Had to order the Phantom Black (Unlocked) for $999.99 online and they then issued a refund for $400.
So what was the final price?
Tax on $999?
So $999+tax -$400 cash back into your bank or card?

I tried doing it this route and got denied at 2 stores as well as over the phone
ended up returning the phone outright as I didn't want to waste any more of my time
