Best Buy to Sell the Palm Pre Alongside Sprint?

Palm (NSDQ: PALM) Pre to go on sale at Best Buy? That’s the latest ‘credible rumor’ floating around this morning. The folks over at WebOSArena received word from a ‘credible source’ that Best Buy Mobile will be the only place to pick up your Palm Pre… besides the good ‘ol Sprint (NYSE: S) store of course! Here’s what they had to say:

We received news from a credible source that Best Buy Mobile will be getting an exclusive deal with Sprint for the Palm Pre release. For 60 days the number one consumer electronics retailer will be the only place where you can get your hands on the Palm Pre, besides Sprint of course. This partnership makes sense seeing the Sprint also launched the Samsung Instinct exclusively with them during the summer of 2008. This liaison will benefit all three of the companies in the deal. Best Buy will get its hands first which will make it the place to get the device. Sprint may come back to win over customers with Palm’s formidable touch phone.

Interesting. Chalk it up as rumor for now, but I could see this easily becoming reality.
