Best Buy Adds Four Smart Phone Exclusives, Including Taylor Swift-Themed Xperia

Best Buy already has a slew of exclusive notebooks, you can only buy at its stores and now it’s adding four smart phones to the mix. Starting today the retailer is offering the following handsets for preorder:

• The Sony Ericcson Xperia X10 in White with Essential Taylor Swift Experience: The Xperia X10 has been around for a couple of months now and, based on our 2.5-star review of the original, it’s one of our least-favorite phones. However, the Best Buy-exclusive comes in white and is bundled with Taylor Swift content that includes three of her albums (two old ones and a brand new one), her new single “Mine,”  and a Swift-themed accessory pack with headphones and a skin. Unfortunately, there’s no Kanye West app to interrupt you while you are using the phone. Available October 24th for $99 with AT&T contract.
• The HTC Surround: Best Buy will be the exclusive provider of this innovative Windows Phone 7 handset that has pop-out SRS surround sound speakers. We went hands-on with the HTC Surround on Monday and were suitably impressed. Available November 8th for $199 with AT&T contact.
• The Samsung Fascinate in White: Last month, we reviewed and recommended the Samsung Fascinate, because of its bright AMOLED display and better-than-average battery life. Though you can buy the plain black Fascinate from Verizon, Best Buy’s version is the only white one. Available October 24th for $149.99 with Verizon contract.
• The 5-inch Dell Streak: We reviewed and generally liked Dell’s 5-inch phone/tablet device, even though it only has Android 1.6. Available October 24th for $299.99 with AT&T contract.
