Outside of confirming the phone's existence
and predicting pre-orders this month, T-Mobile hasn't put out its own
official price tag and launch date for the G2 yet, but that's
apparently not stopping Best Buy from publishing its own version of
upcoming events. Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile are accepting pre-orders
for the phone as of today, and will launch the device in stores on
October 6th for $199 with a two year contract. That doesn't rule out a
higher price or some rebate shenanigans from T-Mobile's own retailing
efforts (though $199 is the rumored official pricetag),
but it's comforting to know that this phone, the great gray / white /
black hope for QWERTY sliders running stock Android, will retail for
the industry standard $199 at least somewhere.
