So Best Buy is the only place to pick up a Nexus S on Thursday it would seem, so it would be good to know what the have planned for the launch day, no? Here’s a quick list of what you need to know come Thursday:

Stores open at 8AM (which is the normal time they open during the holidays)
Online sales begin at 8AM EST (that’s 5AM for you Californians)
Phone will be sold first come, first serve with limited quantity
Limit of 2 per customer
A working demo phone will be available in all stores so you can play with it before you buy it (which is a nice change considering Best Buy is filled with plastic dummy phones normally)
Pricing: $199 on new contract, $249 on add a line contract, and $529 without a contract

Anyone going to get this? Are you a developer or are you just loving it?
