... according to the Best Buy associate I just spoke to in Boston. He said Verizon Wireless canceled this early purchase option. Has anyone heard anything different?

No, only Verizon stores or their web site honors NE2.

Premium agents can also honor NE2 discounts. Best buy is not a premium agent, so they can't.
...
we do honor new 2 yr contracts. We can do pretty much anything a retail store can do. upgrades, new contract, add a line... etc.

NE2 is new every 2 credits, that means an additional discount (30, 50, 100) off the 2 year pricing of a phone for primary/single lines that go the full 20 months between upgrades. Best Buy doesn't honor these.
...
its a common misconception that indirect dealers such as Best Buy cannot honor the new every two.
The new every two is overly complicated in the pricing, so the way they do it at the verizon stores is different than the way Best Buy does it.
Bottom line...if you have had your contract for 20 of 24 months, you can upgrade your phone @ Best Buy for the current Upgrade pricing with no mail-in rebates.

That's not NE2. NE2 is an additional discount only primary/single lines get that goes above and beyond the 2 year pricing upgrade cost.
...
so best buy is offering pre-sale. althought its going to be limited to how many more they can do this week. for the ne2 debate. technically we dont price match it, but if you get a good store manager who's willing to price match, he'll do it. what you should do is go to your account online, and pull up the price verizon is offering you, and they should match it. if they don't, they're a bad manager!
...
No, this is not correct. They are offering it. A $50 fully refundable deposit. They should have the sheets in-store.

i just put a down payt on my droid at the local best buy in clearwater florida.
