The number is 888.457.6294. Pretty simple process, just reserved mine. Said they didn't have an exact release date nor price at the moment. The gentleman who helped me did say they are anticipating the price to be $149.99 or $199.99; note this would be the price if you are upgrading.

With Best Buy's no interest financing, it makes it easier to just pay a small amount each month if you don't have the funds saved up already. Especially if someone decides to buy the phone full price. $499.99 is a lot of money to drop unplanned, so no-interest financing is a decent option.

Also, even if you have the money, you can keep most of it in investments or high interest accounts and slowly pay off the phone with Best Buy... any little bit of money saved, or earned, is nice.

That $499.99 price will 100% sure not be the off contract price at Best Buy. The ALWAYS mark up their phones over MSRP. The Treo Pro had a price of $749.99. I would like to also suggest, people that are investing and have high interest accounts most likely do not consider $500 a lot of money. Not trying to big league anyone here. I don't finance ANYTHING. I do use a credit card for all my purchases though, well I keep cash on me too. I earned over $100 in rewards dollars last month wit my Visa. I earned a about $20 last month on my MasterCard just buying fuel. So I definitely understand interest and getting extra money where you can. I am just saying, if I have to save up to buy a phone, I know that it is probably more than I need to be spending on the device.

I see what you're saying, and it makes sense. Even though it's a bit off-topic, I just wanted to say there are a lot of different ways people handle their finances. I do it in a way where 70% of my income is saved/invested away and not allocated for certain things like phones. So financing it out makes it so I don't have to dip into any of my accounts for anything and I can continue my own personal finance plan and still get the new phone, which was a relatively spontaneous decision for me. I'm not "big league" either, just trying to say this stuff is similar to our phones and what we use them for: everyone has their own preferences, ways of doing it, etc. Plus, and I don't know about Best Buy since I haven't used their finance plan yet, I like to use my credit cards with rewards on them to pay down the financing too so I can still get rewards if I don't want to charge it all to my card in one payment. Hey in the end, it's good to have choices. Like Carla's sig says, des gustibus non est disputandum...

I'd pre-order from Sprint if they had some similar things like Best Buy's no interest thing, as I'm sure others would...
