iPhone coming to The Shack: Dallas and NYC this month, nationwide in 2010?

Posted Nov 6th 2009 7:52PM by Ross Miller

So we knew a select number of authorized resellers would start stocking iPhones soon, and thanks to a tipster, it looks like we might be getting a glimpse at a none-too-surprising recipient of the new order. As these pics from an anonymous tipster show, "big hug for your mobile life" retailer The Shack will be getting AT&T's flagship device soon, with a letter supposedly from EVP of store operations Bryan Bevin (found after the break) adding that the 3G and 3GS rollout will begin this month at some company-owned locations in the Dallas Forth Worth and New York City areas, with a nationwide rollout in 2010. Not that you necessarily needed more places to tempt you with the device, but it's always fun to have options.

who cares if radio shack is getting the iphone, just order one from AT&T or AT&T.com, what is the difference? The iphone came out like 3 years ago, no wonder why radio shack is going under

Not that it's going to be the case with the iPhone, but I've noticed Radioshack actually has better prices on phones than the company stores most of the time. They might have a crappy selection of some things but they're actually a good place to shop for phones. Besides, there are still a lot of people who like to actually hold and use a phone before they decide to buy it.

To second what Andy Anonymous said, RadioShack will have lower prices for the iPhone. I used to work there a few years ago, and a friend of mine works there now, and they still have the lowest prices on AT&T phones. They have more "Free with contract" phones than any AT&T store I've ever been to. Their accessories are cheaper than AT&T stores too, and they're they same accessories. I went to an AT&T store to find a microSD card for my Tilt, and the cheapest card was a 2GB for around $30. I went to RadioShack and got one for $15 (at the time was the lowest price). I went to an AT&T store to help my friend get a phone and when she couldn't find one there, we went to RadioShack (like I wanted to first) and found phones for free that the AT&T store was charging a few hundred dollars for.

RadioShack has their own rebates along with the AT&T rebates for new contracts, so it may very well be that you can get the iPhone from RadioShack for next to nothing.
