Broken: BestBuy.com store locator

(Best Buy fixed their store locator - it now shows you what stores are within the proximity of your zip code, it no longer re-directs you to the Microsoft Windows mobile page. Good job Best Buy!)

Mmobile_1 The web developer must have forgotten to change a test link!

Either they fixed it already, or you did something wrong. It works fine.

However, this post is broken! The correct link to the store locator page is http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=cat12090&type=page&isCarFi=null

If the link "redirected" the visitor to the Windows Mobile page, how come you can't hit the back button from the Windows site?, or did it pop up in a new window?

Seeing how Best Buy is basically broken as a retailer, this was actually a public service.
