    I think so also...none of my local stores have these.
    They did this am..I told my officemate about this, he called his wife. She said NO at first. He went at lunchtime to check it out ~ by then they were gone. :(

    sucks someone i know got 7 of these from his best buy yes you read that right 7 of them!!! and my best buy has a few of them 3 to be exact as i am told by the manager but he says they are not allowed to sell them he is a freind of mine and im sure he would if he could. he is gong to see if there is another way to sell me 2 of them. some best buys have them but are not selling them. (he said they are being held until they can raise the price to the normal area as he was told when he spoke to his regional this is due to EVERYONE posting about the i5's and ruining it for everyone if people would not have plastered it all over the internet and even left reviews on best buy.com sating this om sure they would have went all week on sale)
