Best Buy has been expanding their mobile phone section for months now. New leaks points to Best Buy selling the T-Mobile G1 sometime in October or early November time frame per the screen below.

With the shelf date almost a month after they receive the devices, this will gives T-Mobile a chance to sell quite a few handsets before giving sales to other companies. T-Mobile will official release the G1 on October 22nd.

By looking at the screenshots that came across Boy Genius Report, Best Buy will be getting not only the T-Mobile G1, but the unlocked crappy Treo Pro and the new BlackBerry Pear Flip (in red), which is the first flip version of the ever-popular BlackBerry smartphone. The red BlackBerry Flip is set to be on Best Buy shelves October 26th while the Palm Tro Pro does not appear to have a definite sale date.

  1. Pretty weird they are getting it a month before they can sell it, poses a big risk to breaking street date. Its good that Best Buy will be carrying it, the more the merrier!
  2. Will it be unlocked?

    Does bestbuy ship to canada that kind of products?
  3. nobody knows if bestbuy will whip to Canada?!!

    Please... i feel a little alone on the north side of the planet!!
  4. Is this confirmed?

    Sorry I'm a little ignorant here. IS there T-mobile in Canada?
    I think they will only be sold in the US.

    As of now, the phone is locked to T-mobile... maybe after a few months, a customer can call a rep to get it unlocked...
  6. if best buy is to carry a product, know that it will be attached with service... one of best buy's primary money makers is their extended service guarantees, so no way they'll ever offer anything without contractual service...

    I think that goes for most retailers too - well, except online 1s
  8. hum that's bad news for us! (by "us" I mean us Canada not U.S. lol)

    That's pretty special that united states have a phone but canada can't. I dont want any iphone or blackberry's. I was looking up for a phone and then I saw the Android 2 weeks before the 23 september 2008.

    It's sad that we can't have it here because they don't want to sell any phone unlocked. The thing is I would like to have it whoever sell it. But nobody sell it here!

    Someday I will have my Android phone!
  9. Why don't you just move to the US?

    lol
  10. iLOL @ Big Al

    Everyone else is coming to America
  11. $499.99 at best buy but in store only. i search around my area and the site said it was available in store already. just got mine from ups today. love it!
