Best Buy Offering G2 Pre-Sales NOW

Getting excited over the upcoming G2 from T-Mobile but don’t want to wait for the pre-order later this month?  Head to your local Best Buy and put your name on one.  The national retail giant is offering T-Mobile’s next super phone for 9 with a two-year service agreement.  One reason to consider going through Best Buy is that they typically help eat any mail-in rebates that might come from dealing with carriers directly.  For example, T-Mobile might be selling the G2 at 9.99 with a mail-in rebate.  We’ll have to wait to hear from them until we know for sure.  For those wondering when an actual release is expected, Best Buy claims that the G2 will be in store on October 6th.
