Just got a secured card. How long before I can apply for an unsecured?

I just received a secured BofA card in beginning of Jan and have gotten around to clean up some baddies from my 3 CR's. I'm now looking to getting a Best Buy Card or something like that. I did apply for a Best Buy card back in December of 2008 but was denied for having no credit (at that time did not have any FICO scores). What are my chances now of getting a card with my scores as shown below and the only revolving credit showing is the BofA Secured card and an old (14 year 9 months) old Chase card that I was an AU on but has since been paid off and not used for some time?

 

Thanks for any input.

The BofA will unsecure at 9 months most likely.

you could probably for sure get the BestBuy card.
