Some Walmart shoppers accustomed to ordering online from the big box retailer while wearing their bathrobe and house slippers will be disappointed to find no access to purchasing iPhone 3G via the web. Walmart.com offers over 45 iPhone 3G accessories with many of those items "Not Sold In Stores". The exact opposite is true of iPhone 3G which is being sold at a select 2,500 Walmart store locations.
AT&T is currently the only iPhone 3G reseller offering online purchase with the ability to lock in your preferred plan. Once your phone arrives it's one simple call to AT&T for instant activation.
iPhone 3G at Best Buy is also marked 'Not Sold Online' on their website. Though Best Buy is hawking iPhones at $189.99 for the 8GB model and $289.99 for the 16GB models. A big $10 savings over Walmart. Price matching is in effect at Walmart on current advertised pricing by competitors. Which makes getting a great iPhone deal even easier as long as you plan on showing up in person without your bathrobe and demand a price match. Happy bargain hunting Walmart shoppers.
