go check your local at&t store

I just got off the phone with AT&T customer service. It was NOT the retention department, just a generic "business customer care" service person. My contract ends in October so I still have a few months to go on it, but I threatened to jump ship to Verizon's Droid X. She stated they didn't yet have phones in that they could send me to be able to keep me, but she said try back in a few days, and that she would note in my account they'd take $150 off the price of the phone. She wasn't sure whether it would cost 149 or 199, but she said I wouldn't have to pay shipping or handling and all I would have to pay was (reportedly) 49 dollars plus 18 dollars upgrade fee. Bad part is I don't get it *TODAY*, rather I have to wait till they get it in stock. Your mileage (fees) may vary depending on your contract time remaining and how long you've been with at&t.
 
Same net results for me. One of the reps said they didn't have any to sell but "..we do have one demo unit. My manager has to keep it on him at all times, and isn't here right now".:rolleyes:
 
For all the "Pics or it didn't happen ppl". First up is the phone taken with my HTC Fuze. The second pic is my receipt taken with the Captivate. As you can see the phone cost $199.99 on contract saving me $150 for a grand total of $350 off contract.

30 miles west of Philly and no luck at three corporate AT&T stores. They all echoed the same thing, the 18th. Anyone from this area have any luck?
 
Well i just sold 2 motorola backflips so i dont have to spend ANY of my hard own cash on another phone! WOOT!

obviously; 2 moto backs = 1 samsung captivate

simple math.

perhaps in a monetary sense, but in power ability and overall uberness I'd say its like 1,000 backflops = 1 samsung captivate.
 
I wish AT&T would get a consistent message out there to these stores. It seems quasi official that corporate is allowing early sales. If that's the case, its needs to be communicated better so we don't have to put up with, Nope on the 18th everytime. The wait is made even more sadistic knowing that spots around country are getting it now!!

Frickin' tell me about it. I may unsubscribe from this thread just b/c I feel like I get kicked in the nuts every time someone says they got theirs early :(
 
Everyone Should Get It By Saturday Because No One Delievers On Sunday! Im Guessing By Today Or Tomorrow Most Of The Country Should Have Them!
 
zzz called again today and they told me no and to wait until the 18th... one store said wait until the 20th... which is kinda odd..
 
The stores that are already selling seem to be the exception to the norm. I've checked 8 stores here in NW Chicago with no luck. Some gave me the impression they do have them in stock but cannot sell until the 18th. In fact, one store mentioned they would get in trouble if they did.

Are the stores selling corp. or authorized dealers?
