10.12.08BestBuy at it again
Filed Under: Mark @ 12:04 am

I went into BestBuy tonight to pick up a mouse pad, Iron Man DVD, and an LCD TV for my office. I haven’t been into BestBuy much as of late because of all the stuff I have seen on the poor customer service, bad pricing and poor management. Tonight I decided to go back in since I just had dinner at a restaurant right next door.

I thought it was pretty cool to see an Apple mini story in this Best Buy and it reminded me I needed to pick up a 3G dock for my iPhone. So I looked around for a bit and finally found it. But something looked a little weird. It was priced $49.99. I was thinking to myself, that can’t be right. So I took out my iPhone and looked it up on the Apple store and it was $29. I went to the guy in the phone department asking him if this was a mix up and to check the price. He did and said it was $49.99. I told him that isn’t right because the Apple store has it for $29 and he told me “You must be looking at the G2, this is the 3G, its new of course its going to be more.” Then I showed him the page and price that I pulled up. He shut up and sat down.

So I lug everything to customer service to show the manager and told him I am here to buy all this stuff but they have to fix the price on the dock before I buy the rest of it. Of course he said no. “We don’t price match from online sources”, he said. I walked out.

That’s my last time I am going into a BestBuy.

This piece of technology is amazing. Thats it, just completely amazing. I have found very few things I would like to see different on it. The thing most I would like to see is a landscape keyboard for every application, not just Safari.

I know there is an SDK coming out for it some time in the near future so I am not bitching about what is NOT there, but enjoying every piece that is there. YouTube was done fantastic. I enjoy browsing websites on it as well. For instance, I will go in my sons room and talk to him while he is playing WoW and surf the web on the iPhone. Last night he was asking where something was and I just looked it up on wowwiki and got it right there. Beautiful!

I do wish at&t would improve the speeds of their network. There is a survey going around about that for iPhone users, and I had to give low grades on data performance.

All in all, this has to go just a tad bit above my MacBook Pro for my favorite ‘gadget’ right now.

Yep being the Apple fan boy I am I thought I should go ahead and pick one up. This entry is typed from the phone itself. I think the key board is pretty nice but will take a bit to get used to.

I am loving the phone so far and sure I will stay loving it. It is so much easier and nicer than a blackberry. It just needs 3rd party apps now. I would love to see VNC and a cisco VPN client.
