Best Buy to Sell iPhone 3G Nationwide [Official]

That sounds like a good idea to get the phones out there, but considering stock is limited, why would they open it to even more places and cause an even greater shortage?

At least they aren't going with Radio Shack according to the rumor - the image of Radio Shack seems to be deteriorating....

**** YOU BEST BUY.

I've been told by Best Buy employees in the past "We do not and will not EVER stock Apple products" when shopping for a new laptop as well as portable music player.

I'd love to be able to find the few employees who made this comment to me in the past and shove it up their rear ends.

I remember when the iPhone EDGE came out, that at&t had expected to do roll out to all their resellers (including Best Buy and Radio Shack) in about a year. So it looks like that may happen. The only problem might be places where there Best Buy stores, but not at&t service. What happens then?

Also, Best Buy has been selling Apple Systems in a large number of their stores for about a year now. While they are still in their roll out phase with that, I doubt that it will be too long before we see Macs in every store. Heck, Flint, Michigan's Best Buy has them.

Also, this Best Buy deal may also extend to selling the iPhone at Best Buys and Future Shops in Canada, making it so people don't have to directly interact with Rogers or Fido staff.

Does it come with shackles - the veritable ball-n-chain configuration?

At least they aren't going with Radio Shack according to the rumor - the image of Radio Shack seems to be deteriorating....

Yes, deteriorating from dust molecules to their constituent atoms.

That's great, b/c BestBuy has been well stocked with everything v1 iPhone and 3G iPhone accessories. I noticed their 3G iPhone accessories have been flying off the shelves. :cool:

I can just see it now..

After getting stung from stealing things from people's computers (media files, movies, programs, pr0n, etc.), getting rid of the good guys there, and using pirated software, the Geek Squad now will try to grab apps off your iPhone without your knowledge.

Lovely.. :rolleyes:

BL.

Yes, deteriorating from dust molecules to their constituent atoms.

Right now the only purpose of Radio Shack is to quickly get some electronic components and a bread board, maybe batteries (if you can't use Google). Everything else is overpriced. And the computers and TVs they sell suck.

2 pointless news bits about the iphone yet the important story about the iphones kill switch isnt talked about at all. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nf/20080811/tc_nf/61270

P.S. Props to the dude with the angel dust cover.

To-date, I have never had a good experience at Best Buy. The employees there treat many customers like pond scum and trying to get actual help is an uphill battle. They may as well slap my face with a dead trout every time I walk into their store—the Best Buy experience would be so much more enjoyable that way.
