Best Buy to Get Palm Pre, Just Later
Tony Peric
From the screen capture above when performing a search on Best Buy, it appears as though sometime in the near future (after that Sprint launch), Best Buy will sell the Palm Pre within the stores. The banner for Sprint went nowhere, but it as prevalent on the landing page. As stated by BGR in this article that Best Buy would carry the Pre and later the rumor was cancelled out by InsideSprintNow in this article. Looks like both of them are partially right.
This could be a marketing strategy for Sprint and/or could this be an indication that Best Buy will indeed be the first major retailer outside of Sprint stores to sell the Palm Pre - Just not out of the gate.

I dont think ISN's post was about BestBuy getting it, more about them getting it in a "trial release" where everyone else, especially corporate Sprint stores, waited to see how it went.
We all knew BB would end up getting it at SOME point, maybe even that day... But they would not be the "first and only location to get your Pre" during the trial BGR talked about.
