Looks like T-mobile won’t be the only one on the block offering up the flagship MyTouch3G for presale. Best Buy is going to join the ranks of the pre-sale starting now! With T-mobile hoping to kick MyTouch3G sales beyond the ranks of the G1 using every available outlet for sales surely will help them achieve that goal. Details are still a little sparse on this particular bit of info but from the emails I got one can obviously tell from the image above that a $50 dollar deposit will be required for pre-sale but here is the kicker, apparently the device will be available in both Merlot and Ice, so you black MyTouch3G lovers will want to sit this one out. It looks as though your deposit will be placed on a $50 dollar gift card which can then be applied to the purchase price on the day you pick up the phone. You will need the above flyer completed and the sales receipt from the gift card on the day you pick up the device and orders are filled in the order in which they are received. Pretty standard stuff really. Unfortunately, there isn’t a Best Buy around me for miles and miles and miles that sells T-mobile so even if this was the course I decided to go, I couldn’t. I still have yet to ascertain why T-mobile isn’t sold in every Best Buy, anyone have an answer for this, let me know in the comments!

According to the fine folks at the Wall Street Journal, T-mobile CTO Cole Brodman, speaking at yesterdays T-mobile MyTouch3G press event made the headline claim. Why this is even news is really beyond me, is it not the point to sell more of a second generation of something than the first?  Claiming the broader appeal of the MyTouch, Brodman believes most customers will be new to Android smartphones in general. I’m sure he is hoping that T-mobile’s low price offerings will be their counterpunch to the industry but I fear they are to late to the game with the MyTouch and that its really more uphill than they want to publicly admit. Either way, my support for T-mobile is unwavering and I want to believe the MyTouch is going to be big, very big and can draw customers who are simply fed up with AT&T troubles over to the Magenta side.
