Actually, my store sells T-Mobile & Sprint, & AT&T… And I’m not wrong because I was phone sidekick shopping in there today, and the sidekicks are right next to the Sprint display… But every sign says AT&T on it… Confusing, I know. But true!

Best Buy Will Not be recieving the IPhone. It is an AT&T exclusive. They signed a contract with Apple saying that ONLY At&T will have it for 5 years. Our AT&T rep also said they are in the works for another 5 year contract to extend it.

I have an lx and I will be replacing it with a gecco as soon as I get the chance. I have not gotten the damn ota yet and I don’t really care if this thing gets video because the camera sux on it. But a sidekick with a better camera is all danger needs to make a better impression in on the market. Oh yea.. And blackberrys suck. They always have network issues and they are poorly crafted. The keypad is stoopid as hell and its just not as comfortable to hold and use. A sidekick with a better camera makes a blackberry easy to forget about.

personally i find it odd
that the gecco will a better upgrade than the slide
or lx i mean all the features of the
ota updated lx AND 2 megapixel cam?
shouldn’t this be the top dog
and not the lx?

Danny, Recently it was released that all blackberrys sold before the official 4.5 release date will be preloaded with 4.5 os. If you can’t wait that long check out vodafone germany.

I am anxiously awaiting the release of the new Sidekick Gecco. I feel this will be a revolution amongst the lineage, not least due to the upgraded camera and video capabilities.

I hope to see imagery of the latest highly anticipated Danger powered device coming forthwith.

Hopefully the Curve is in fact red and not brownish-orange which is what I think of when I think of Sunset.

Maybe it’ll even come pre-loaded with OS 4.5. Well maybe that’s pushing it a little?

I’m not caught up in the whole IPhone mania even though I’m a Mac guy. I prefer the BlackBerry for my own needs.

Ryan, Windows Mobile SUCKS!! No WM device can compare to a Blackberry! best feature of WM is mobile office and exchange, rest is blah

That’d be sick if the BB sunset was like a pearlescent color, goes from like orange to yellow, hello 1980!

How embarrassing, the difference between the comments of Blackberry users and Danger powered device users…

@marvONE and Matheis

Every Best Buy either carries Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon or T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon. No Best Buy carriers Sprint and T-Mobile together. So only the ones that carry T-Mobile will get these phones, unless it comes as prepaid.

Best Buy and TMO have ended their agreement and Best Buys in my area have already stopped selling TMO.

eh it’s worst buy I’m not holding my breath

The real news here is that best buy is now offering tmo in stores. For all I knew my bby or bby mobile store has never carried tmo handsets

By: Daniel

Daniel — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 18:18:06 +0000

Correction:: “Wouldn’t” had to clarify that.

By: Daniel

Daniel — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 18:15:24 +0000

That listing though is showing only T-Mobile handsets. So it would show the iPhone regardless.

Hopefully the iPhone rumor turns out to be true.

If the iPhone 3G were coming to Best Buy in July, either on the 11th with the others, or withing a few weeks, would’nt this same information have said so? Looks like Best Buy/Radio Shack won’t see iPhone 3G for a month or two.

By: Matheis

Matheis — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 17:46:33 +0000

When T-Mobile launched their “string of pearls”, the red version was initially dubbed “Sunset”. The name was later (and presently known) as “Ruby”. It would make sense if the Sunset branding is red since At&t has a red/maroon version.

Thought is would MEAN no more Curve production. Not “ean.” Typo.

Sorry for the double post.

By: Conrad

Conrad — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:36:54 +0000

A Curve Sunset? In my humble profession when we use the term “sunset” and we’re not on Maui, we mean the END. When I saw the words “Curve Sunset” in the headline I thought it would ean no more Curve production.

A Curve in a different color so I can be different?? Are you kidding me? As Arthur Spooner once said when he got a bunch of Civil War tapes instead of the tote bag he’d wanted, “can I put my swimtrunks in there?! NO!!!” So unless this Curve will carry my swimtrunks – pass!
