Looks like they had a royal screw up. The price is $499 with out a contract.
AT&T
Hey Kristie, sorry it took so long to get a response. We’ve reached out to the product manager to confirm the pricing. The latest pricing for the Captivate is $199 with 2 year agreement and smartphone data plan is required. The non-commitment pricing is $499.

wow ghey, how do you fk that up?
I get a kick out of them using the word "latest"
The other thing that was brought up is this was somewhat of a bait and switch, and maybe price discrimination. Lots of people purchased this for $350.
Will ATT be involved in 2 class action lawsuits in the same month?
I guess I'm gonna have to f'in upgrade. If I wasn't on a family plan I'd leave right about now.
i wouldnt waste that upgrade, there are still links to them false advertising up. Because they just recently corrected themselves and only through one medium (facebook), it would be smart to go up there with some proof that its 350 and then pull the word false advertising out and leave with a 350 captivate.

Great, where can I find the proof?
Bought mine for $350. I might post part of the receipt later
They originally thought it was $500 but when they rung it up it was $350, so I was like hellzyes
Well unless someone else is successful with it, I'm not wasting my time talking to mindless reps.
Got mine for 199 on contract and a buddy got his at the same time for 350 off contract.
Both got ours at the AT&T store in Eastview Mall, Victor NY yesterday evening.

page 2, 6th post down. Im gonna dig up some more.
I see what they did. Not that sneaky really. They told some stores to start selling them early to see how popular they were. When they realized people actually want the phone, they hiked up the price since it is not officially released yet. Interesting.
yes when you put it that way in store im sure you'll get some special treatment..
man im having a hard time finding the tweet where they offered it up for 350 off contract. anyone remember where that link was? It was on here or on androidandme.

pwned. Now it can be safely said that the sooner you get in and demand your captivate the better. Also, first ask for it and make sure they are going to sell it to you. Dont go in there all offensive cuz they can always pull the oh, we arent supposed to be selling that till sunday anyway crap.

Screen Shots of AT&T saing $350 for the Captivate
Hopefully these screen caps can help. I plan on printing these out and taking them to the two local stores that also told me $350 for the non-commitment price just yesterday.
AT&T Says $350 on Twitter
AT&T Says $350 on Facebook
AT&T Says $350 on Facebook again
This really pisses me off. I am out of contract, and going to be an angry customer come Sunday if I don't get one for $350.
https://www.mysearsrebate.com/rebatecenter.htm
you need your receipt to open a rebate. the type of rebate we have is not in the list they say they offer(this worries me!)
here is a screenshot of the rebate as they had it posted on their website as part of our argument. everyone open rebate tickets and complain!
I bought mine Friday and saw this as well. Went back today and they took it off the site. Thanks for the link, something to show them when I call about it.
Also, went to the store today to price match the price since it went back to 379.99.
Thanks for posting that up. I have sent them a email through their contact form and since I can not attach the image via the form I placed it on my server and gave them the link to see.
if anyone else wants to do that the link is
http://clickonpc.com/rebate/searsrebate.jpg
I told them to contact me ASAP so I can return the unit if I do not get my rebate.
I would suggest as well anyone buying it from sears 11/26 contact them ASAP.

i think it may have to be bought on 11/25 or previous. it doesnt show in my screenshot i think but i remember seeing 11/25 as the rebate expiration
It was on there site when I purchased mine and said it was eligible when I added to my cart.
Great timing! I saw the "docking station" rebate on Friday, too. I was bummed because it appeared my local Sears wasn't honoring the sale price of $379 with a free case. Whatever, I was fine with a docking station.
BUT, today I went online to file the rebate and it was gone...so I called the local Sears when I picked up my G-Tab (online purchase but store pickup) and they weren't aware of the docking station rebate. They did say they were sorry I didn't get the $379 deal and free case, but just drop in with my receipt and they'd make it right. That they did...it was a trip out of my way, but 5 minutes well spent.

That is because their site was screwed up on Friday. when I bought mine, it said $379 plus the rebate, when I click on it to the tablet page to add it to cart it changed to $399 with the rebate. I blew it off as there site was screwed up, but the rebate was still there. Then I picked it up not thinking I should have asked them at the store about the rebate.
Finally got home started charging it and when I went online Sat to check the whole rebate thing is was gone? I contacted them through chat they sent me to the rebate site and the rebate was not there? but the price had dropped, I drove in and got the $20 plus tax.
So site showed
$379 11/25
$399 11/26
$379 11/27
Would anyone happen to have the address to mail the rebate to?
I lost the 2nd page of the form...
BTW, the form does say purchases must be made on 11/25/10.
Thanks,
Krissy

I snagged my tab for $349.99 at Sears on black Friday. Anyone else get the same deal?
Last day for the rebate was 11/25/2010. I downloaded the form to a Microsoft .xps file since I was out-of-town and had no printer.
But be warned the instructions are so conflicted it's hard to know what to file. For example, whether or not to file the original (which I hate to do) or a copy.
If someone will tell me how to paste in a copy of the file, or will tell me where to send it -- I will provide it so people who may have bought by the 11/25/2010 deadline can file for the rebate.
The rebate has to be mailed by 12/25/2010 if I remember correctly.
Rev
Thank you Rev! (email address PM'd to you)
I just sat in chat with Sears Customer service for 30 minutes while they searched, and then tried to pass me off on the mysearsrebate.com site... which of course, doesn't have it.
Krissy
Attached are scans of the rebate form if anyone can use them. It appears the rebate offer was only good on 11/25.

You should be able to even edit your original post... once you have the edit window scroll down below it to the 'manage attachments' button in the additional options box and you should be able to add it there... I bought 2 of these before 11/25 so maybe I'm eligible...

According to the rebate form the rebate was only valid for ONE day - 11/25. So if you purchased it before then it won't work.

Well seems a grey area as the only place 11/25 is mentioned is in 'Offer Date'... there is no purchase date range requirement listed in either of the 2 pages so figure it can't hurt to try...
Thanks guys! I didn't even know the rebate exist. Bought mine on 25th for 379, so I should qualify.
Now my question is how do I get the dock? Does Sears send them when available or do we get some coupon to use to buy the dock when it comes out? I am confuse on this.
does anyone have any images of this so called dock that is coming out? looking to get the g tab for xmas and i've seen the DIY stand from ehunyadi.
Doesn't say. I assume they will ship the dock when available -- at least I hope so.
I can't post the .xps file I have because the attachments program won't accept it. Since someone else already has scanned and posted I will leave well enough alone!
I hope we find out it is good for more than just 11/25/10.

I posted the rebate form earlier in this thread. Mail it in and I assume they will ship the dock to you.
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
According to member 'goodintentions':
"The 10 bucks thing is still on. You need to go to their website and then a popup asks you for your email. Give it to them, confirm it, and they will send you a $10 discount."
so, $339 and holding!
I have scored what may be the best "new condition" GTab price yet!
So, you can get a $10 credit just for liking Tigerdirect.com's facebook page
(you will need to have a facebook account... but who doesn't at this point)
I clicked the "like" button, entered my email address, and shortly thereafter
received my $10 credit via email...
I initially searched their site for a $10 gadget that I could score for free...
but found nothing I really liked...
Then I figured I better check to see if they carry GTab's and for how much...
They have it listed for the typical $369...
so with my $10 credit I was looking at $359 with free shipping
which was not a bad start... but then I noticed on sales page for the GTab:
(apparently I am too new to post links here...
so just search "viewsonic g tab" at tigerdirect.com)
there is a $20 extra savings coupon code listed right there "HSN23053"
Naturally I assumed they could not be combined...
but it turns out that they can be combined...
now my total was $339... with free shipipng, and since I live in CA
NO TAX too!
How could I not click the "order" button
So there you have it... anyone holding out for a price drop should stop holding out and take advantage of this deal before that $20 coupon code disappears!
I even took a screenshot for the non-believers.
Where's the facebook link? I'm not able to track it down.
Thanks...
I cannot post links yet... just google "like tigerdirect.com"
or search for tigerdirect.com on Facebook
Hope that helps

Looks like this FB thing is expired, but another way to do it for about the same price (even a little cheaper) is to got to ebates.com and get 3% by going to tigerdirect from there. I use them all the time and have gotten several payments back using their site. A G-tablet for less than $339 is a steal!

so you're telling me I have to update my update...
they had some cpn codes on slickdeals where if u ordered something and applied the code, it gave u a free dvd player(actually the cpn code i might have found on retailmenot.com). well i walked into the store and asked if they can build my order there, and they said yes, but the dvd player code did not work in store. we went online and it worked there, so they looked to see if they could give me the model dvd player, but had none in stock.
so i asked him to credit me the difference of the value of the dvd player, which he did and i picked up the case as well.
you guys gotta learn how to play the system better
*edit* actually playing with the cpn code now, it only gives 30 off instead of the 50 i got. i guess its somewhat of a dead deal compared to the op's post)

$275 from Craig's List!
I picked up a gTablet from Craig's List for $275 a couple of days ago. Granted, it's used, but it looks brand-new. *And* it comes with a carbon fiber skin, an extra AC adapter (so two of them), and the Malata dock. Sweet!

If i had a choice between a gtablet, xoom or notion ink adam.. would the gtab be the better bang for the buck?
Hello
I am trying to sell my Captivate on Ebay. I have had 4 different people - all located in the Ukraine inquire about the phone. Noone else from anywhere has asked about it.
Is there something about the Captivate and Ukraine?
Maybe it's one person with multiple accounts, or some of her/his friends.
Doesn't matter where they are from as long as they pay, and do NOT ship the phone until you have the money in your hands.
Phones are hard to get over seas and can be resold for 10x what they pay for it

Use paypal for take the payment. And just ship after check that you have the money in your account.
Be cautious. I've had people try to scam me when I sold my Archos 101. They offered $100 more than what I was selling it for, but the catch is they wanted me to send the Archos to his cousin(who was also out of state).It just didn't seem right . Also have a friend that dealt with a buyer from another country. The check or whatever they sent him ended up costing him money somehow. So I only deal with local buyers. Just my 2 cents
Thanks for the tips guys
I wouldnt do it! I would never buy over seas and if you sold i would go thre PayPal for sure and dont send till money in hand. Good luck!

Keep in mind that PayPal will freeze your *entire* account for the duration if the buyer files a dispute.... you better be able to PROVE s/he got the phone beyond a shadow of a doubt. Just fyi.

Ebay have a buyer/seller protection system, in that case they have to prove that he didnt sent the phone or isnt as was in the description. And if the buyer want the money back have to ship back to the seller. You can read about it in the ebay security center, i bought my phone in ebay, took a week to get from US to Venezuela.

As long as you get the money, who cares?
Sold an iPhone on eBay to a guy in Ukraine. The tracking system showed that it never arrived and he got his money back through PayPal. I was out an iPhone, eBay's fees, and the cost of shipping.
My local PO told me they hear things like that all the time about Ukraine. The postal system is apparently awful there.
Edit: Just because you get the money doesn't put you in the clear, PayPal put negative balance on my account and called me everyday after the dispute threatening to turn me over to collections if I didn't pay them back.

also require them to buy insurance, that will protect u and the buyer if the package supposedly never arrives
not worth the hassle or risk you should have no problem selling to a buyer in US or Canada both of which tend to be safer than say Nigeria or Ukraine.
Good point on the insurance. So in case it does get "lost", my money won't be completely lost.
Just in case anyone doesn't know the check scam. The way it works is they send you a check for the product. It looks legit, even your bank will think its real. Banks will normally put the money into your account within 1-3 days if the amount of the check is below a certain amount. They do this before the check ever clears with the bank listed on the check (many times its an overseas bank so it takes even longer to clear). So what happens is that you get your money, ship the product, and then a couple weeks later the bank calls you up and says you owe them that money back because the check bounced. Or worse yet, the bank deducts it directly from your account, which happens, and you get overdrawn. Now you also owe overdraft fees. Problem is you cant hold on to the product for the length of time it takes for the check to fully clear, many times its 2-4 weeks.
So lesson is use paypal, cash, or even western union. No checks ever. There are plenty of scams out there but this one is one of the easiest for people to pull off.
I had a infuse and got rid of it. I have this code ATTD5GE4Y6. The code is for the $25 infuse promotion. I'm not sure its still valid but I never used it. I have 1 more if I can find it. Your welcome to whoever gets it.
