you know i have never seen anyone buy a contract cellphone at anywhere other than the dedicated stores. i always see them at places like Best Buy, Wal-Mart, and Circuit City, but nobody actually buys them from what i've seen. i would buy mine from the Sprint store anyway.
Best Buy kills the Sprint stores on some phones prices since the mail in rebate you get from Sprint are instant at Best Buy. Back in June I upgraded to the Instinct for $229.99 and $100 mail in which I got back in about 7 weeks. A buddy of mine when to Best Buy right when they started selling it and paid $129 in the store. The same thing is going on now with the Instinct being $199 and a $100 mail in with Best Buy being $99 out the door. My guess would be something similar will happen with the Pre and if that is the case I will be pciking it up and Best Buy instead of the Corp. stores.
Shop at Best Buy... You'd be surprised how many people actually purchase phones from them based on the fact that not too many people realize that Best Buy is able to activate phones and offer better deals.

You are right, I have never seen anyone buy an Iphone at an Apple Store or Best Buy, I can't Belive they would even carry it since they never sell any
