Hasta La Gadget!

How much would you pay for the hottest new smartphone of the season? $200? $500? How about $850? That’s the current asking price on Best Buy Mobile’s site, a bit of a hike up from the $199 with contract and the $549 contract-free versions we’ve seen thus far.

So, why the hike? Likely its just some sort of placeholder on the Best Buy site, so the company can get ready for the device’s June 6th release date. Either that or the thing comes in one of those snazzy diamond encrusted cases.
