I get the same annoyed response from salepeople. Like, no you can't spend your money with AT&T. We won't let you. How dare you.

The stock numbers sounds pathetic. 5-6 per store. Line up early and then be prepared to have a backup plan.

My store said they had 2! I'm getting there 15 mins early just to pick up that phone. Not only that, but I'm going to try my hardest to get it for $350. Bringing in pictures of receipts, facebook/twitter, and sale reps I spoke with online.

I'm waking up and checking the online price, then heading to a store. Both online sales reps said $350 off contract (have pictures to prove it), so I'm bringing that in along with me to the store. Anyone else nervous about trying to get this for $350?
 
I believe it's a discount if you haven't upgraded in a significant period of time, and are paying at least $100 on your line. I'd qualify based on time since last upgrade, but I'm on a family plan, and not on the main line.

So I got to play with one and got on this thread from their store. They still wouldn't sell me one after seeing all of the people who have gotten one already and they wouldn't even hold one for me. They had their cases out also........4 of them. I take it they are getting 4 phones to put out. I stopped by another store and talked with someone who I have talked with the last 3 days in a row and finally got him to talk with his manager again and put my name on one for me. He said they were only getting a few also. At least I don't have to worry about getting one tomorrow now, but AT&T really did a horrible job on putting this phone out. OH and I had the manager look up the pricing online for me, and it was $199 upgrade and 499 no contract renewal. She had no idea clue about the $350 so its sounds like it's 499 even if you are existing customer for sure. Local Best Buy thought they might have them in a couple weeks.This is all in Eastern Wa state.
 
Dang this whole new $499 price thing totaly killed it for me :( Ive been looking forward to this phone since the announcment -_- I hate you AT&T!!!

How much do you guys think it is with an early upgrade? was it $199 +75 +the tax of the full price? so whats that like: $320?

I'm starting to think that since a new Android device comes out ever 3-6 weeks, that AT&T is using this release as a test. They're looking to see if the phone manufacturers can handle the advertising side of things so that they don't have to invest any money into hyping a phone release.

The day I came home with my Aria I saw Aria commercials on tv. I didn't take notice as to whom was paying for the commercial. It will be interesting to see if AT&T invests any money into advertisements once the phone is actually released.

What I'm saying is, they may be deliberately under-exposing the release to see how strong the Android draw is, and how strongly manufacturers will take on the hype control.

Funny you say this because last night on Comedy Central I saw a Samsung Galxy S commercial and it must have run 3 times within a half hour. I read on another thread of someone seeing the Galaxy S commercial on ESPN also. Not specific to any carrier just the Galaxy S lineup.
 
I Haven't Upgraded in 2 years. Im the maine Line And My Bill is $167.00 a month and I still piad $200 for my Captivate! Ima go ask about that tomorrow!
 
Hmm, I just found I have $155 in rewardzone points. So, now the question is, do I buy it for the $500 off contract and pay $350, or upgrade price at $199 and pay $45?

Oh and I just called 3 stores and each one was a corporate store. Each one said they couldnt tell me how many they had on hand or how much they will be until tomorrow. I laughed in their faces(well not in their face as I was at home on the phone, but you know what I mean) and said I just got back from Best Buy where they confirmed; inventory, pricing and now the place I will go to for purchase. Kthanksbai!

Yup, that was me ;) Saw it on E! and one of the big 3 networks last night, too. My wife is starting to get annoyed with "that's my new phone!" every time it comes on.
 
I was out close to my AT&T store so I decided to run in and check on it. I wasn't planning on buying, I have $40 in Reward Zone points to use at Best Buy, but I figured I would check, hoping maybe they would have one, and if I mentioned I was going to Best Buy, they would give me some sort of discount to buy it there. Didn't really think it would work, and sure enough, they told me they had some, but they wouldn't have them out until tomorrow and they wouldn't even let me see a demo unit, the guy practically laughed at me when I asked.

I did ask about prices, and they checked, and according to them it would be $499 off contract, which was known, but they said for buying with a contract it would be $199 after a $100 mail in rebate, so $299 initially. I thought that was strange, because I hadn't heard that yet, it's always just been $199 with no rebate. I was going to ask for clarification, but they didn't seem to be all that interested in helping me anymore, since I wasn't buying a phone today, and since I'm not buying it there, I wasn't too worried about it.

My problem with this is, with speed that the Android phones are changing and upgrading, this phone is sweet, but not sweet enough to commit for another 2 years. I mean it doesn't even have flash. This phone will be super outdated in 6 months i feel.

There isn't a phone for sale right now, other than the Nexus One, that has Flash so what's your point?

Flash Lite doesn't count btw

When I called in on Friday, they said "I think its $299 with a $100 rebate". I was shocked by that too. Interesting that when I talked to 2 sale reps online, they both said $349 w/o contract. Printed out the convo, and I'm taking it to AT&T tomorrow along with pictures of receipts and Facebook/Twitter announcements. I'm fighting hard for this $350 price

Let us know how you do.
 
Just went to best buy and the guy told me it was $229 for upgrade. Has anyone else heard this? I thought best buy would have it for $199 after instant rebate.

No, that's the same price BB gave me - $229. AT&Greed direct gave me the $199 price. I'm not sure why it's different between the two, I just know I have one reserved at the AT&Greed Corp store for tomorrow :)
 
I guess 12 hours isnt so bad since I've been waiting almost a year...bye bye Fuze tomorrow. And coincidentally if the phone works like I want it too I'll also be getting rid of my Sansa Fuze MP3 player as well...pretty neat eh?

Cartersville, GA store says they have 20 so I should be ok, but it wont be long after they open that I'll be there.
 
Has anyone spoken to any ATT reps who have said they will honour the 349.99 if you bring in something showing where ATT told you that price? I heard someone talking about it today and figured I'd ask.
