I know Amazon has it for $0.01, but I've got a corporate discount and I also have the grandfathered unlimited data, so I think I need to do it in person someplace. Costco has it for $99.99, anyone else have it cheaper?

Be careful, I also am grandfathered into the unlimited plan and have found that most anywhere, except for AT&T themselves, will not honor the unlimited data plan. Everywhere else pretty much told me I would have to change data plans if I upgraded through them.

You DEFINITELY have to move to the 15 or 25/mo data plan

No you dont. You can have att document it in your account before you buy and it should not be a problem. If for some reason the s plan than store changes the plan then att can change it back.
 
^^^I think that may be possible..but I don't think it's general policy. Its just a matter of who you work with at att
 
I went directly to att just so nothing would go wrong with keeping my unlimited plan and while I paid more than if I got a good deal somewhere else and they were great about letting me keep it.

wirefly.com is now offering free samsung captivate plus no activation fee and $30 data credit to your account. Did anyone order from them? Can you please share your experience, good or bad, when ordering with them?

Great experience with Wirefly. I have purchased my last several phones from them, including all of my family's phones. Fast shipping with their free shipping option, easy activation, great service. They also usually have coupon codes on their Facebook page to add a free bluetooth headset or a MicroSD card.

That is an outstanding deal with the free activation and bill credit from AT&T. I would not hesitate to jump on it.
 
Ended up going to Costco. HItting Walmart on Black Friday isn't my idea of fun.

So far I like. :) Now I need to root it and dump the bloatware...

What experience is that? He was just wondering if it was possible for it to be a refurb or a not new phone. MOst agree it would not have been as do I. My fathers phone was new but with the update.

Not recommended. That ROM has lots of issues and is known to cause problems.

Does your method remove them from memory?

No, because they're intrinsically used by various parts of the system behind the scenes and uninstalling them doesn't actually free up that storage for other things anyhow.

One of the reasons I did that is due to my experience with the Aria. AT&T's bloatware took up so much space I couldn't load all the apps I wanted.

The Captivate is not the Aria and has massive amounts more-storage than the Aria. If you're running out of space to store stuff on the Captivate, you're doing something wrong.
 
I just decided to go with Verizon and a free Droid X. AT&T just pissed me off by not moving my upgrade date up and me not being able to watch some youtube videos even when I did have 3G (a $250 phone should be able to run videos).

So saw a good deal with Verizon (their map on their webites looks good for me with 3G, but you never know until you actually try it) for a free Droid X, with a 2 year contract of course. So as long as all of that goes well with Verizon, I’ll be dropping AT&T as my cell carrier. So for $103 I got the Droid X, their best phone insurance, a red silicone sleeve, car charger, free activation, and a screen protector. I hope it makes me happy. So I guess goodbye to the Captivate board and hello to the Droid X board. Y’all take care.
