Best Buy to sell iPhone 3G starting next month
August 13, 2008
And now for the irony: it’ll be no better a buy than what you can find at ye olde Apple or AT&T store. Best Buy officially becomes the first third-party retailer in the US to sell the iPhone in an official capacity — 3G or otherwise — when it launches the iPhone 3G in some 970 stores plus an additional 18 dedicated Mobile locations on September 7 for the same $199 and $299 price points found elsewhere. Quoth Best Buy Mobile’s CEO, ‘We had a lot of work to do, obviously, to get in a position where Apple and AT&T would feel good about Best Buy Mobile carrying it, and that’s what we’ve done in the last 18 months.’ In other words, this has been a pretty persistent effort to score the third-party exclusive essentially since the original model was announced, and it’s just now paying off. There’s no indication on how the addition of Best Buy to the US sales mix will affect production or distribution, but at least there’ll be one more place to try to find some frickin’ stock.
