exactly. Every store I've called so far either 1) tells me they don't have it yet and it doesn't come out till the 18th OR 2) they just say it's not available until the 18th with that tone that tells me they have them in stock already.

I'm out in Long island and am willing to drive into the city if i have to.

im on LI ATM also, should i give up on calling? If i get something i'll be sure to post
 
Im in the Los Angeles area, called about 6 stores in a 20 mile radius of me, I got one of the 3 responses:

Either: I've never heard of that phone.

or Sorry you have to wait till the 18th

or we don't know when were going to be getting a shipment.

FML!!! i was really looking forward to getting one today LOL... I hate this thread.
 
Really looking forward to get this NYC today , come on NYC folks who bought this already just let us know which store you got it from!
 
No luck in Orange County, CA. A couple of the stores had demo units, but wouldn't let me see them. At one of them, not even the employees were allowed to see the demo unit yet.
 
DO NOT CALL THE STORES! The reps will just feed you a line about the 18th! You have to physically go there. Speak with a manager if you have to.

Good advice LC. Will try that tomorrow. Hate the fact it's game playing for me for the next two days. You know, they won't sell to me but will to the next guy. Hell, i'd even say just wait until the 18th but if my store is an early sell there might not be any on Sunday. So, we're stuck. Not sure i'm liking AT&T right about now.

Are they though? Some stores may be breaking or bending the rules and it seems as if the game is to try to find those stores and then get them to sell you one. I'd prefer not having to spend two days trying to do that. But now, it's the thrill of the hunt. <insert Mel Gibson voice> GAME ON AT&T!! I DONT LOVE YOU. I DONT WANT YOU. UNLESS YOU SELL ME A CAPTIVATE THAT IS</Mel Gibson voice>

Anyone said here they got it in the NYC? I walked to 2 nearby stores, in one store (morning check) the sales person went in the back to check, came out and said they had them but would not sell till Sunday. At the other store (4pm), I did not even finish my question, as the guy interrupted me with "no they are not out yet". "can I preor..." - "they are not out yet". "at least can I ..." - "get the * out of here you crapple hater". The last reply is a joke, but the rest is true, it was not a friendly conversation at all, I think the guy was asked about the captivate a hundred times already.
I am just getting off all forums till Sunday, then will calmly waltz into my local store (a 3rd one) and buy it.
 
Just checked with 4 AT&T stores in the Denver, CO area. None of them would admit to having any in stock yet and told me to come by on Sunday the 18th. Two of the stores did confirm the $350 non-contract price, which is unreal. Picking mine up Sunday.
 
Went by the shop were I pre-ordered it today and was told that AT&T told them they are absolutly not supposed to sell any before Sunday.

Looks like word got back them!
 
I went into the AT&T corporate store on the way home from work. I asked to see a demo and the guy was going to go get it. He asked a coworker where it was at, all the employees overheard and they literally all said "No, not til Sunday"...lol....lol...like AT&T put the fear of God in them. They were nice about it. I just paid my bill and left. I can wait three more days. :)
 
In all fairness to the non sellers. I can image the managers thinking if I sell them all now what I am supposed to tell people on Sunday when they show up for one.

Yea I know. Man the only issue is, I keep hearing stores stocking 15-20 Captivates per store so they might run out anyway.
