Leaked Best Buy doc says iPhone 5 preorders start this week

[Archean]

This week could see the official introduction of the iPhone 5, if a leaked document from Best Buy is to be believed. The retailer’s internal document talks about an upcoming Sprint version of the iPhone 5, which would launch in October. The rumor mill says that the next-gen iPhone will be a dual-mode device and work on both GSM and CDMA networks - so the iPhone 5 in question might just be a Sprint-subsidized unit, rather than different hardware. While the September 5th launch rumors didn’t pan out (unless Apple scheduled an event today and told no one), there was a lot of chatter of an Apple event for Wednesday - but that‘s rather iffy too.
