Since they now have it listed in the shop does this mean the deal with Best Buy is not going to happen? Seems odd they would list it there with a $600 price for US customers when you are supposed to be able to get it from Best Buy for $399 or $449 depending on which price was accurate.

Edit: Just looked at the webpage and although it shows in the US version of the shop it appears to only be available for select European countries. It does not contain any wireless capability. I had originally assumed they were just selling the US version, but without a 3G bundled service. From the looks of it this is a completely different device without the 3G capability.
