my only question is, i am nervous about switching, so what is letstalk like compared to ATT with sending the phone back if i don't like it within the first 30 days and want my upgrade option back?? I don't want to save myself 200 bucks, find something i don't like, and have to be stuck with it and not be able to send it back. From my understanding, with ATT if you dont like it, you have 30 days to "try it" and switch if you'd like. Basically, is there any fine print behind saving myself 200 bucks??

Well, what they told me was less than 1 hr talk time on the device and 30 days
There is fine print copy-pasted a little above... that spells it out as 30 minutes

I would call to return it before 30 minutes and before 14 days (obviously you can't even go 1 day without using 30 minutes, really!)

So it's a bit more rigid than the AT&T people would be - but I mean c'mon, are they gonna hold you to that? And check? LOL
 
dang, i must have missed that, I'm not sure how i did. But thanks for the heads up!

on another note, 30 minutes of talk time is actually a lot for me haha. I hate talking on the phone. I see what you are saying about checking though, why would they go through the trouble to check it??
 
jeeezzz i can't read....this sucks being the "added line" on our account. Guess it's going to be 200 bucks for me no matter what i do! I will just order from ATT, keep my unlimited data, and tell them to waive the activation fee.

we can argue that they must sell the ones who ordered it for 229 to get it right? It would be illegal to deny an order for it I think.

You "can argue" all you want but there is no such requirement ... there is a legal disclaimer posted somewhere on every website that says they are not responsible for errors. If that were true I'd have had a $3000 Bravia HD-TV from Dell for $30.00 among other things over the years.
 
This thing cost me half my day lol. I went around to two walmarts, att and best buy. First I went to ATT and canceled my sub-30 day contract because they wouldn't price match. Then after several hours of trying and riding all around I discover it's not Walmart, its a partner, and this thread leaves me with a bad taste so I decided to go the "legit" route and turns out my refund from ATT wasn't immediate like the guy said it was, so I had to come up with the cash to go buy one. And now I may have a bad unit =(
 
Well, my order still hasn't been canceled, so we shall see. I called not long after my order because I put the wrong address down, and spoke with a cool guy that fixed the shipping. Status still says "requires attention" so we shall see. I really hope I catch this break. If not, I may have to try my luck at Best Buy when I get back into town, but by then, I feel like they will know better
 
So after having my order cancelled when trying to buy it off contract I placed and order for upgrade. Since I want to get grandfathered into my old existing unlimited data plan it was going to cost be $50. I placed the order and got the confirmation email then when I checked the status of my order it said "Cancellation Requested" and proceeded to say my order has been cancelled.
I didn't ask for them to cancel my order.
I was thinking about just trying to order again but noticed its no longer listed as $99 with an upgrade rather then free. I really don't think LetsTalk has any clue what's going on right now, anyone who gets anything from them is going to be lucky. I'm going to try and call tomorrow but it seems like I'll just have to go to AT&T or Best Buy and pay the $200+.
 
I went to Store 100 (directly across from the home office in Bentonville) to see what they had. I was told the in-store price was $148.88 w/contract. They apparently had them in stock, but had not got around to putting them on display yet.

Of the 3 associates in the store trying to sell different phones, they all seemed to be Android "happy" and I never once heard the word "Iphone" while I was there. They seemed to be pushing a Droid X more than anything.
 
Yeah my local Wal-Mart has it for like $149 with a contract as well. My order still isnt cancelled. Did it early this morning.
 
Those that placed an order and it got canceled, can you state what time you placed the order? Seems like those that placed it early in the morning have yet to get it canceled, but those that were later in the day have.
 
I placed my order a little after 8am today and order is still in place (hopefully it goes through). I think I was the first member to mention the Walmart deal, so I could be the first to order from this site. Lets see what happens tomorrow.

I placed my order around 10am (Central). No other e-mail received from LetsTalk other than the original 'Order Confirmation' message. My order status page still shows 'Customer Attention Needed'.

Placed my order this morning at 8AM PST and still have not received a cancellation. It was for a contract renewal though, not off contract price. Still in "Customer Action Required," been about 10 hours so far.
 
Just for the record, I got a confirmation at 9:17am EST for the non contract price. I guess tomorrow will be the day to see what happens.
 
I placed an order off contract for $229.99 about 9 am CDST and it says "Customer Attention Needed" still. I called about mid afternoon and was told it was standard operating procedure, they would call back tommorrow to verify address, cell phone number. He said this was to reduce errors and fraud. So time will tell.
 
I just looked at LetsTalk website and they show the no contract price $229.99 for my zip code in Arkansas. It is now 9:08 pm CDST July 18. This is one of the craziest launch's I have ever seen.
