Sounds like some people were more lucky than I was. I had decided I was getting this phone at Best Buy, because I had $40 worth of Reward Zone certs to use, so I figured I would save a little money. I had seen on here that some people were quoted $229.99 as the price, and when I checked in the morning and they finally had the phone listed on their website, sure enough it was listed as that price.
I decided to come prepared, I printed out the sheet from AT&T's website showing the $199.99 price, figuring they would price match that, especially if I threatened to leave and buy it at AT&T. When I got there, things didn't go so hot. When I asked about the phone, the girl I asked gave me this dumbfounded look and then walked over to the little cage thingy, unlocked it and got out a Captivate. I then overheard her saying to one of the other employees something about I was wanting to buy that phone, but she didn't think it was supposed to be out yet.
After scanning it into the computer, she found out it was for sale, so she was ready to sell it to me. I asked what the upgrade price was, but she was having trouble getting it to come up for some reason, she had to ask my phone number like 5 times. When she finally got it up, sure enough the price was $229.99. I said most everywhere else was selling it for $199 or less, and I even had the printout from AT&T to prove it. They said for some reason they couldn't match AT&T (which seemed strange) and so they wouldn't do it. I didn't feel like messing with it, so I left, drove across town to the AT&T store, and bought it.
Technically with my $40 in Reward Zone certs, it would have come out to be a little less than what I paid at AT&T, but I didn't feel like wasting $40 worth of certs just to pay a little less than what I would have at AT&T. I find myself wishing I would have come armed with more printouts, because every website I looked at had the $199 price for upgrade, or less.
After three trips to that Best Buy in the last few days in regards to the Captivate, I came away less than impressed with their service. In general, that Best Buy has always had great customer service for me, but it seems like they have idiots who know little more than what their training told them working in the mobile department.
