Best Buy wastes no time throwing Amp’d out of stores
It’s hard to say just how long this plan has been brewing, but it seems awfully suspicious that Best Buy and Amp’d parted ways on the very same day that Amp’d decided to sell itself off bit by bit, does it not? Best Buy’s weekend employee flier unceremoniously declares that July 20 marks the end of in-store sales — probably a good idea, we figure, considering that the phones may stop functioning in a few days — with teams coming in to yank down ads and take hardware. We’re also hearing that online account activations aren’t working at this point, so getting a new Amp’d handset is pretty freaking hard to do at this point — not to say you’d want one, anyway.
