Most Best Buy Stores Will Have Very Few Palm Pre Devices To Sell Posted: 02 Jun 2009 11:26 AM PDT We’ve been hearing the Best Buy stores wouldn’t have many Palm Pre devices on hand June 6th, the date the Palm Pre launches. It looks like those rumors were correct… Some stores will be lucky enough to have a dozen or more devices to sell, however, the overwhelming majority of them will only get a handful. If you really are tying to get a Pre from a Best Buy store this coming Saturday I strongly suggest that you get their ridiculously early. [Source]

T-Mobile Now Offering BlackBerry Devices With No Contract Posted: 02 Jun 2009 11:09 AM PDT For a little over a year I’ve thought that a Pre-Paid BlackBerry would fly in the U.S. It would appear that T-Mobile now agrees with me. We are hearing reports of a $299 T-Mobile BlackBerry Pearl II that doesn’t require a contract on sale at various Best Buy and Target stores around the country. I wonder how long it will be before any of the other big wireless carriers will offer similar deals? I’d be willing to bet that we will see more devices offered at a lower price point when we do.
