on travel technology …and everything else
After all the hype with Best Electronics, Ro and I decided to drop in and check it out. I must say I was very disappointed. The only interesting section was a tiny display with solar powered cell phones and a netbook with a built-in touch screen track pad. Both were display-only items and not for sale!
I was not at all impressed with their selection or pricing of laptops. Their cell phone “corner” had a handful of phones and most of them were out of stock.
There are 3 floors and no proper directions on where to find what! The floor upstairs was dedicated for TV’s and most of the people who came up on the escalator with us, took one look around and went back down.
Overall, not what I anticipated and even the staff were not very helpful. At the entrance itself 2-3 of the staff looked at me funny… like they wanted to karate my ass out of there!
