I know from experiance that when a new product hits the sales floor, if they have less that X units (the amount depends what store it is) they will want to only sell it on a new data or voice act. Usually buying the product outright shouldnt be an issue though seeing that the stores make as much margin on an outright sale as a new voice activation.
I am not saying you are wrong, but a person I deal with that is somewhat high in the regional corp. management for sales says the rules say if the customer is will to pay full retail price, you have got to sell it. Do not know who is right or worng but I have never had a store refuse to sell me a phone outright except Nextel. Even this might have changed now that Sprint owns them!
