Wow I need to get my eyes checked haha...you are correct cocoviper, my bad!!
Just about all Best Buy Mobiles should have them by now and the phone is damn sexy to say the least. You can't beat the instant savings at BBY. Screen is crystal clear, interface is slick and features like the business card scanner work better than expected.

FYI about that BBY coupon - it only applies to new lines of service, not upgrades just so you know!!!
Um...Best Buy Mobile has had the Instinct for the entire summer since launch without the pesky mail in rebates you get going thru Sprint stores. RadioShack is basically getting sloppy seconds at best. They also lost the 3rd party iPhone exclusivity thru the holidays to Best Buy haha they're bleeding away marketshare...
Instinct won't be for everyone and I wish they hadn't marketed it as
an iPhone killer as of course that's going to piss off Apple
loyalists which will declare war and defend their brand at all costs
(understandable).

For those who like the Instinct and Sprint's fast network, you might
want to pick it up at Best Buy Mobile (inside most Best Buys) as it's
only $129.99 for new and 2yr qualified upgrade...and yes, only $289.99
for 1 yr qualified upgrade after INSTANT savings, so no mail in
rebates.

That keeps it significantly cheaper than iPhone and I really hope
most people realize that they're actually paying MORE for the 3G
iPhone than the current one on their monthly bill!!!

Nothing against iPhone, I just welcome what seems to be some healthy
competition which is needed in this category of phones!!!!

Best Buy already has the display for it and it's actually only $129.99 w/ new 2yr contract, at least in the Chicago metro.
Although I'll hand it to ya for actually showing SOME intelligence in your post this time around, I hope you realize you just proved my point when I called out the ignorance of your original post by admitting that you don't even know if the retailer doing it was Best Buy. If you read what I posted, I never doubted whether or not there are scumbag salespeople out there that will exploit the average person's lack of knowledge to make an extra buck...but the ignorant bias by people to think that BBY or all general retailers do this is absurd. How am I not understanding? Even if it WERE happening there or at other big box retailers, it is usually the selfish acts of a handful employees which is unfortunate and undoubtedly wrong, but it should not automatically brand an entire company of being corporate scam artists unless the reports are consistent. My philosophy is based around posting comments that are actually thought out and at least attempt to sound intelligent, not blindly sarcastic and biased comments when you don't even know if what you are saying is totally true...which more or less is the definition of ignorance. But apparently I'm the dumb "arseface" for reasons that you have still yet to explain.
If you actually pay attention and read what is posted on this website, you would know that HD DVD actually has more titles CURRENTLY available than Blu-Ray due to Paramount going HD DVD only, so it's not going away anytime soon. I'm not even rooting for one over another but I couldn't help pointing our your ignorance.
You're an idiot...the trick would be selling you a TV that won't work in 2-4 years when the life span of it is 10+ years. No to mention that you don't necessarily need an HDTV to receive a digital signal, even though it's going to be inevitable soon. Thanks for entertaining us with your ignorance.
If you want a cheap @ss analog TV then buy it at Wal-Mart or any garage sale...I'll even sell you mine for $50..
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
