Best Buy to Sell iPhone 3G Nationwide?

**** 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.

Hahaha! I've had a similar experience in a BestBuy, but at the Geek Squad counter a few years ago (back when :apple: wasn't so trendy)

Geek Squad geek: "Man, I dunno, only (censored) buy Apple computers, I wouldn't even touch one! You should buy a Dell..."

I almost grabbed the smug lil' bastard by his face...
:mad: (then)
:D (now)
 
I like the convenience of buying Apple products at Best Buy. It avoids having to go to a crowded Apple store, wait for salesmen to stop demoing iPod nano's to clueless old ladies before I spend $3,000 + on a new laptop...

I purchased a laptop from Best Buy last month during my lunch break and it was a great experience. Only complaint is that Best Buy only sells "stock" computers - you can't upgrade hard drives, memory and etc like you can at an Apple store...

I would buy an iPhone from Best Buy without hesitation. My only hold back is that I refuse to have a phone that requires me to use AT&T. Their 3G network is crap and they are usually not the dominant carrier in most large cities... guess I will have to be happy with my iPod Touch for now...
 
awesome I have some friends that work at best buy! Maybe they can get me the 3G so I don't have to pay $600+

but this means you can make the phone cheaper with those best buy reward points that are about to expire.

I'm pretty sure that you won'tbe able to use them.if you read the fine print you'll notice that they exclude iPods, althygh if you b!tch at the employees enough they will override the computer. Nut I don't think that you'll me able to convince the apple/at&t employees to override the computer.

so that would make anyone carry iphone around...
did even apple make that much of iphone 3g yet?
i got mine wating 2wks
 
i was asked by a manager to leave a best buy once after informing another customer that the sales rep talking to her was wrong (and by wrong im pretty sure it was just lying)

now when i think of best buy i think of little brats with acne lying about technology to elderly women.

boo apple for doing anything to help this company. ><

You can use your points that in the form of $ certificates its only the 10 and 12% off coupons that wont work... Sorry to all of you who have had a bad experience at a BB we do our best to make every time a customer comes through as enjoyable as possible, as a supervisor I know a lot of times you just get either employees who are sick of dealing with every customer in the world who says so you mean your going to let me walk over 50$ or ranting about the most ridiculous thing. Im sorry but if office is already on sale or even if its not no you are not entitled to the super special treatment of discounting we really dont make a lot of money on that stuff volume over quality. That being said this has been in the works for a while my store is one of the top 20 apple volume stores, trust me we like selling apple its the only damn computer we make money on. And iphone, BBY mobile is a lot better than the old wireless dept, yes there are a few bad apple's in the company but in my experience they are far and few between, heck I even just lost an employee to Apple who could pay him more than I could We love :apple:
 
Just saw this on bby
