Online ordering up for AT&T

I talked to the online chat help and basically tried swindling her into giving me the 350 price continuously saying it was told on the facebook and twitter accounts and it looked like she was going to cave in, but then said that she isn't available to get just the phone for me online (which if you try to buy the captivate off contract you can't online, I tried many times) and that it would be up to the individual retail stores to set the off contract price.

wait did u really expect them to sell the most powerful android phone for 350 off contract?

I'd expect them to show some respect to the customers that constantly put up with AT&T's shit and honor the price that was advertised by them for over a week. It doesn't have anything to do with the price, 499 actually isn't bad, it has everything to do with them lying to everybody and changing the price.

And its up for AT&T Premier customers as well. I can keep my unlimited plan ($30 - unlimited data/text) too. :D

Glad to see that, I'm an AT&T Premier customer as well, and I hopped in to my account to check to make sure everything would work right for me tomorrow, and when I clicked to upgrade my account, the Captivate was nowhere to be found. I was worried I was going to have issues upgrading, guess I just needed to wait a few more minutes for them to get it up on there.

At Walmart it is FREE w contract and w/o contract $229.99. I just ordered mine and it will be here in 2 days. I called all the Walmarts near me but their cell phone dept. was not opened yet. I wonder how much it is at the store.

I went to Walmart's site and saw no off-contract price, and the free price requires a more expensive contract...

EDIT: My Bad...I found it...holly cow!

For others who can't find it:

Walmart Connection Center - Browse for Cell Phones

Make sure the purchase type dropdown is set to phone only...It's at $229, cheaper than the Backflop :eek:

Wonder if my corp store will price match and give me back $120 :D:D

I'd much rather pick this up in store, but I have a feeling my little Walmart won't have it for some time, but maaaan, I can't wait to play with this. Just added my data plan on AT&T. I didn't have one before, but I'd rather be safe than sorry (paying per kb). This is perfect, it should be here by the time I get back from my trip. Can't thank you people enough. I really thought I was going to have to chew someone out at AT&T Customer Service about the $350 price, but I'll gladly keep my mouth shut for $229.
