Best Buy Taking Droid Pre-Orders Now

Topic:

Alright, so you've been following the progress of the Motorola Droid since it was called the Sholes. You waited with bated breath until the official pricing and availability were announced. Now you've got the money in hand and a burning desire to turn it into a high-end smartphone. The question is...where should you buy it from?

Best Buy sent out a press release today announcing that the Droid is now available for pre-order. It'll cost you $199.99 with a 2 year Verizon contract, which is the same price you'll find everywhere else. What sets Best Buy apart, however, is the way they handle rebates. The normal rebate process is a huge hassle, and customers often fail to send in for their rebates as a result.

BlackBerry Smartwatch Available For Pre-Order

Topic:

Well that was fast. After just a week of speculation time, the BlackBerry smartwatch is confirmed and available for pre-order. Normally a gadget like this is preceded by months of speculation over leaked renders and blurry cameraphone images. Apparently inPulse, the company RIM contracted to make the watch, doesn't like to play those games. The final price of the Smartwatch is $149, and it is expected to ship in February.

In terms of specs, we can confirm that the Smartwatch packs a 1.3" OLED display. It has a glass lens, a metal body, a microUSB port, and a battery that can handle roughly 4 days of use on a charge. It also has a vibrating motor, so you'll always know when someone's trying to send you a message. Unfortunately, you won't be able to respond with your watch alone.

Sprint HTC Hero Close to Pre-Order?

Topic:

The HTC Hero is one of the best smartphones on the market right now, and the only one to pack the gorgeous HTC Sense UI. We've known for a while that this Android handset was coming to the Sprint carrier and now, thanks to Boy Genius, we have a good idea as to when. They've uncovered info that could mean Hero pre-orders are just around the corner.

A leaked document from Best Buy's internal system shows a possible Hero pre-order date of September 13. The actual handset release date is not yet known, and Best Buy has been off before, but this does give us a very good picture at the likely date the Hero will come up for pre-order. If it isn't right on the 13th, it will be close to it.
