I just checked Amazonwireless. They don't have it in stock for a few more days, but they have it listed for $190..may be able to price match that! Screen capture below:

Best buy will only match brick and mortar stores within 6 miles that verify the price and on hand availability and price over the phone
 
It's $149 in all the AT&T stores here in NJ. Not even a "sale" just the regular price with contract. It's also $149 online from ATT (at least with 07036 ZIP). You have to click on the original page and when it takes you to detailed page it shows $149 after some hokey "online" deductions. Haven't checked BB or Wal-Mart stores.

Maybe it's only $149 in NON-LTE areas?
 
Well it's $249.99 in Orlando. I'd say it might be $149.99 where LTE is or where it's about to launch. Any news on what price it is in the current LTE markets?
 
I live in KC and in my zip code it is $249.99. I am going to contact AT&T and ask why in New Jersey and other places it is $149.99 and see if they will do that deal for me.

They should, been an AT&T customer for 10yrs.
 
ok this is some weird shit... Ok last night at like 1am I went on att website from my fiance apt and it said $249.99 - $100 online discount making it $149.99 so this afternoon i called best buy and ask them if they would meet att website, and they were like let me check, i guess it was case by case or manager decision, but they were like att site has it for $249.99... so I am guessing some sort of cookie or glitch, idk... Anyways I went to my house and checked att website from there, i got the same shit $249.99 no discount, so i figured oh well BB is not going to meet the price, but I know they will probably meet walmart price (199.99). Well I got the skyrocket @ $199.99 w/ price match... Well i just got home to my fiance apt and guess what, att still has it listed for $149.99...very weird, same zip code each time...
 
Anyone have an idea whether I have a chance at being successful at getting AT&T to sell me this phone for $149.99 instead of the $249.99 in my zip code?

I would think they would want to keep a customer and since I verified I am no longer under contract, I could walk without penalty and they lose.
 
i got it for 149.99 in DFW at Best Buy via price match. AT&T's website (through the online ordering system) gave me a $149.99 price. i took that price to BB, who matched it.

Hmm...I can't get it to do that (I used to live in DFW, so I used a Zip from there...)

What zip did you use? So far none of the ones that I've tried have dropped the price to the 149.99 price (i've tried them from AZ, NJ, DC/MD/VA etc...)

Same here...I did the 199 Walmart price so I am happy

Thats what I'm thinking I'll have to do if I want it for less than $250.

Though Walmart no longer lists the price online at all... Glad I have a screen capture from yesterday...

You have to add it to your cart.

Also...call best buy rewards and ask them to honor the current online only mobile rewards offer...$100 in certificates.

I have not done so yet but have in the past
 
Not a bad idea. I'm not a Rewards member, but setting it up now. If I can get them to pricematch to $200, and get some money back in rewards...I can't really argue that! Thanks Mr. Ed!

my AT&T account is actually billed to an Oklahoma address, so maybe that's why i got the $149.99 price.

i'm usually not a best buy fan, but i'm glad i bought it from there. the buy back program actually makes some sense for cell phones. add in the $149 price, and it was a no-brainer.
 
I had BB price match the $199 price of Radio Shack. I didn't ask BB about the Reward Zone offer of certificates, however I also didn't see the Skyrocket offered on the Reward Zone phone site.

Any reason to go through BB instead of Radioshack? I have only previously purchased through a corporate store before. I know there are some strings attached to buying from these resellers, such as higher ETFs and limited return ability.

Thanks!

i am guessing convenience, easy return process, also they offer warranty $10 a month which i picked up for a month or two, till I get use to the phone, don't want any new phone fumbles not covered..
 
I wasn't sure Radio Shack actually had it in the store, but their website reported the $199 price. Since I couldn't seem to come up with any of the $149 goodness, I at least wanted $199.
My local BB usually takes good care of me. That can't be said for all, I have had some bad experiences too. With that being said, I have had both good and bad experiences at ATT corp stores too.
