Anyone know what the price is going to be without contract?
I contacted an AT&T retail store and they didn't really know, but had read that Samsung posted $350 dollars on facebook. That seems low to me.
I haven't seen any pricing for non-commitment anywhere. Thanks!
+1
I would also want to know, because I'm planning on buying it with no contract.

AT&T Hi Mark - the Captivate is $199.99 w/ contract, and $349.99 without.

Hopefully this is the actual price since a few people are able to confirm it with a few AT&T reps.
OMG if this is the price for the phone I am definitely getting this phone off contract and using my upgrade for another phone aka iPhone 4 to sell for a profit!!!!!!!!!!
How much is IP4 going for?

$700+ on ebay!!!!!
I had my iPhone 4 since it came out (16 gb) and used it the whole time.
I just put it on craigslist and sold it for 600 in less than a day.
Now, I have money for the captivate!!!
What kind of fees would AT&T charge you for the switch? If it really is $350, I'll do the same
Yes! The price is $350 without contract! That's very nice, I'll check tomorrow my local AT&T store to see if they have any in stock already as some people already bought it.
I'd love to go get one tomorrow, but I go to an authorized retailer and there is one person in particular that I deal with. She's always treated me well, and they are a lot nicer than AT&T retail stores. She is out of town until monday I guess I'll be waiting for my phone 'til then.
The one thing I know nothing about is how to load custom roms, as this is my first open source phone! (first had symbian, then iOS) I am excited to see what else is out there.
If its only $350. I'll be buying this Phone off Contract ASAP.
Even tought i wanted an HTC or Motorola. Device ie nexus one, desire. This will do, since my G1 keeps overheating and is on its last legs.
There's people been buying them since yesterday for $350 off contract, so the pricing is real.
wow $350?!...hard to believe really when the tmo version is $499.

wait and see 3 more days...
I just returned from AT&T here they let me handle the phone. He showed me the price of the off contract phone as $300.00. He was shocked, but it was right there in living color. They will sell me one this Saturday morning. I will be there.
Wowz0rz
If this pricing is the same here in Arizona Ill be posting my HD2 for sale, use that money to buy a Captivate, and use my phone upgrade for an Iphone4, turn around and sell that beast as well.. Should come out wayyyyyyyyyyyy on top. Good god what a good deal. Thank you AT&T for getting something right.
Good luck to all who seem to be going down this cash flow road. Wooooop!
@willthebill - I am surprised that the Captivate is going to be 350 when the one for t-mobile is 500 as well! I am quite excited about it!

There was a rumor going around the Radioshack might be giving the inspires out early - can anyone confirm a case of this? I had called two stores and they both said no, however if someone can confirm a positive on this - I will keep calling!
The stores were given strict instructions not to. Plus many of them have likely not received their stock yet.

Thanks, this is what I thought. When I reserved mine the guy said that the system won't even allow them to sell them until Sunday... but then again on various message boards there were people saying the Radioshack sales rep that they pre-ordered their phone with said they would call them if they got them early. If the sales reps are unsure of information, they should just not say anything.

Keep in mind that a Radio Shack employee isn't much higher on the ladder than a McDonald's employee. So you can't expect much common sense from them. lol

Well, maybe a little higher than McD's employee... but I haven't been inside McD's in about 12 years.
My Radioshack guy was way to "YEAH BRO, TOttalLy bro! Sick Phone Bro!!" for my taste. I'm not really a personable shopper... I kinda want to get in, take care of business and get out while in a store.
I actually just came from a radioshack after calling the store and she told me I could buy one...I was like are u sure?? She said yeah ..come over...I rushed over there to talk to her, she went back to get it and give it to me and her manager saw her...and said no! What a **** lol...anyways she atleast opened the box and let me play with it for awhile...thing is sexy! Feels so solid..camera is awesome ...and btw everyone *****ing about the battery cover being tough to come off is either a like girl or a retard...got it off in no time...can't wait till Sunday now! Ima pick one up first thing
Oh btw it booted up super fast, and asphalt 5 HD installed

man I was just in radio shack today and they wouldn't let me pre order - they said they'll only have 4 left after the pre orders so I'd better be there when they open on sunday if I want one.
Went in my local Radio Shack yesterday, and they told me the pre order deadline was on Wednesday. Anyhow, they called me today and have one with my name on it for Sunday morning pick up. I doubt if these people will let one go early.
I also pre-ordered from RS and have been trying to get them to give it to me early, lol. When I pre-ordered on the 8th, guy said they were getting it in on the 10th and I could pick it up then!
So I went back on the 10th and unfortunately there was a different guy working and he refused to give it to me. Bah! I think it depends on the person there, some people seem to be more/less knowledgeable that others.
That being said, just heard Costco has them now and are being sold. I'm going over soon and see if they sell them off-contract. If not, then I'll swing by RS again and see who's working tonight, lol. Worth a try.
Looks like the only chance I have to get this a little early is to drop by RS before closing on Sat night, and hope they're cool enough to let me walk out with it...
I don't know why ATT is making such a big deal about the 13th release date. If a store has in stock, who cares!
Mine opens at 10...guess i'll go try my luck
I tried to get mine today but no luck. I even said that I'm flying for business and won't be able to make it tomorrow, but still.

I tried with no luck. Radioshack has their sku locked so it won't even ring up. Very disappointing and a waste of a drive. Oh well 1030 tomorrow isn't too far off...
Called my radio shack today and no luck either. Was told they couldnt release them until tomorrow, and that they hadnt even got them in yet, truck was supposed to come later today.
WHERE IS THIS SURVEY ON THE RECEIPT? I can't find it anywhere - I think it might have been cut off? Do you enter your order information on the online survey site? If so, can someone please post the URL to the survey? Would be much appreciated, thanks!
I went in today and bribed the Guy to sell me one and he finally caved and went to ring me up....only to find out the sku wasn't recognized and it was literally impossible to buy guess I will be there bright and early. On a side note I also went in to att to ask about the price off contract as I heard it was 399 at corporate stores only for them to rudely tell me that because there wasn't a price tag yet that they couldn't tell me. Wtf att?? That kind of bull**** is probably why I will still buy at radio shack even if att is cheaper.

Got mine today from Radio Shack. Got to know the tricks. I was buying outright so that may have been the difference. He rang me up with 481.49 in gift cards. He will use those gift cards to ring the actual phone tomorrow. I waled out with a phone and was happy. I do have to make a return trip to get my real receipt. Radio Shack is supposedly $50 higher than COR stores on an outright purchase. I had a Otterbox Defender IP4 that I was given from there for Christmas. He took that back which netted my price down to about the same as the COR stores. If I did not have the freebie $50 off, I would have just waited to get it at a COR.

Haha, I considered that also, slipping the guy a $20... but if the sku won't even take, then I guess I'll just have to wait until Sunday morning.
BTW, I was looking at my pre-sale receipt and it does not mention the 2/13 release date at all - it only says they'll hold it for 3 days after getting it in stock. I suppose if you wanted to be a giant PITA, you could make a fuss out of it, but whatever... I'll just wait.
Hi, sorry but I don't know whether or not we can sell here. But here's my listing: I have a 2 weeks old White Mytouch 4g. Letting this go because I realized I'm not a touch screen keypad person. Phone comes with the box and original accessories, ghost armor shield, and silicone case. Price is 300 obo or trade for Sidekick 4g (like new condition). No low ballers or spams. I live in West Seattle, Wa. Send me a message or comment on this thread and we can work something out.
Good luck getting 300. Anyway, you'll want to post sales and stuff in the Marketplace, not in device-specific forums.

The highet anyone would pay is 160-200 now, if the phone had just came out then he could get away with 300+. And OP you should put the phone in the marketplace area of XDA, or put it on eBay. I would avoid craiglist since there's more seller protection with paypal. I sold my MT4G for 200 which seems justified, that might be the best price range.
I paid $300 for mine back in Feb so I would be surprised if anyone is willing to pay that price 8 months later but they are fools out there...
CL or Swappa is probably the two best places to get the most. Some people on CL just pay a lot sometimes and almost every phone on Swappa are over priced from what I can see.
Just too costly.. even car values depreciate..

Been into two stores now looking at the one x and when the rep asks how they can help me I tell them I am there to look at the one x and they don't say another word after that. It's too bad cause I really want to try and talk one of them into selling me one early. It almost seems like they brave no idea about them at all. I asked if they had a gray one I could look at and the girl today looked at me like I had three heads.

Yeah, same thing here. I spotted the phone from across the store, and when the lady asked if she could help I told her I was here to look at the HOX, she ignored that and thought I was talking about the Beats radio that it was attached to.
My local store kept trying to lead me to the ifruit 4s display lol.

I called two local AT&T stores this morning. One said they had a demo unit on the floor. The other said I could play with one if I came in.
I went to the store that said I could play with one and a sales rep handed me his. Said he had had it for a week. It was the white model. It was pretty dirty. I hope that isn't common.
I'll post my impression plus pics once I hit 8 posts. I'll be posting a link to where I wrote about the One X in a different forum.
Called my AT&T store this morning, they said they had it out on display. Went in tonight after school, and they guy said something about how it "wasn't released yet" and it had been "pulled by corporate" or something and they weren't allowed to have them out on display until the 6th. Shady as hell, and now I don't know if I want to pre-order and pick it up there, who knows what's going on with those idiots?
the manager at my local corp. store let me check it out then said "just pretend that you didn't see it yet"

Some people just don't touch the phone with dirty hands and then never wipe off the phone... Lol. I've been one to text while eating pizza, I'll make sure not to do it with my HOX
They work on commission. They aren't going to help you on a product they can't sell yet.
homeboy at my store told me since my contract expires april 28th he can sell me a HOX on may 1st but i cant tell anyone ! lmao

I like the white but worry that it will look like a white apple keyboard after a few weeks. Afraid it might start to turn yellow in the back.
At&t reps
I always hate it when I seem to know a lot more than the at&t sales reps. They are the ones selling it and should honestly know more than me! I not that big of a phone geek either.
I also don't understand how a few people got it early. I called two AT&T stores and both said they won't have any stock in until May 6. ):

Yeah most are clueless and its sad they dont even know that places like XDA exist. I am lucky that our local corp store manager does know XDA and is a regular poster here though I am not supposed to tell
I had the total opposite experience at the Rogers store last week. Told the guy I was looking for a One X and he's all "yeah, great phone bro. I know we got some in, just let me check."
Turns out there weren't any in when I walked into the store, but a shipment was actually delivered while the guy was looking. Now that's some good timing. I may have been the first one in Toronto to pick one up! (If anyone got one earlier than 1:30pm EST on April 20th, then I guess you beat me to it.)
I went into my local official AT&T store today to see if they had one on display and fortunately they did. It was set up playing MOG to display the Beats Audio speaker they are selling. The sales rep I dealt with knew what was up, he even knew the release date. We had a good chat about the phone and how nice it was. I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus right now, and I will miss stock Android but Sense 4 is really not too bad. I had 2 updates with AT&T burning a hole in my wallet so I went ahead and did the preorder. I know I could have saved $50 to get it elsewhere, but I have had some bad experiences in the past getting my unlimited data plan stripped off of my plan when I got a phone for cheap at Costco. Now that I have unlimited LTE I don't think I will have to worry about plan changes for a long time. I decided it was worth $50 to not have to go through the hassle I went through last year when I upgraded to an Inspire and spent a month trying to get my unlimited data put back on my plan. The only bad thing is that on the AT&T map I live about 4 miles out of LTE, but at least I work in an LTE area.
So now May 4th (or hopefully sooner) I will have the phone with my unlimited LTE attached sitting on my doorstep.

Ebay is very risky. they do not verify serial numebrs or ESN for blacklisted.
an no..its actually priced below recently sold average. There are several others selling theirs for more and none of them are 7.0.

Myslef and other i know have been burned by an ebay sale 1 too many times......no thanks. Swappa far more reliable and safer. Far better support in case something does go wrong as well. (like if the phone is not activatable or becomes not activatable long after the sale...seller has to refund cost...etc..)
And when u looks at the average prices the v10 has sold for....
