Thousands of people across the country are still waiting to receive their shiny new 3GB apple iPhone. And up until recently you could only buy the phone at an Apple or ATt&T store. Best Buy just announced Wednesday that it will soon sell the iPhone.

Best Buy becomes the first third-party retailer in the U.S. to sell the iPhone. The store will start sales in nearly 1,000 stores on Sept. 7. But don't expect to get a deal. Best Buy will sell the iPhone for the same $199 and $299 price offered by AT&T and Apple. Best Buy already resells Apple's Mac computers and iPod media players, and apparently this relationship helped Best Buy land the iPhone.
