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.

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!

Sorry I'm a little ignorant here. IS there T-mobile in Canada?

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 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... by dkvitus
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! by hoaxchannel
