Best Buy will begin carrying the iPhone 3G in all 970 of its retail locations come September 7th, the Associated Press is reporting.
Joining the ranks of Apple and AT&T as the exclusive distributors for the iPhone 3G in the United States, the electronics giant already carries the iPod and Mac computers -- making it only fitting to complete the Apple-trinity of geekery.
Newly upgraded Mobile Departments will be welcoming the iPhone 3G, and now have the ability to activate mobiles on-site. The two year-long process also included 250,000 hours of employee training to gear up for the big launch.
"We had a lot of work to do, obviously, to get in a position where Apple and AT&T would feel good about Best Buy Mobile carrying it, and that's what we've done in the last 18 months," said Shawn Score, president of Best Buy Mobile.
