Caution when opening the package:

The phone does not fit inside the tray where it would normally be located, so the phone has been placed beneath the tray. If you're not careful when opening the package, the phone may slip out, fall, and break. Open the package on a table, sofa, or a bed.



Since the phone has been stashed beneath the tray, some buyers thought the phone wasn't in the package. After paying for the phone, it may be a good idea to open the packaging in front of a Future Shop/Best Buy rep to ensure the phone is inside.



Here are some reports of the improper packaging mentioned here, here, and here.
