Exactly. The only 2 things I hate at Wal-Mart is the stereotypical Wal-Martian, and checking out.
I swear to effing christ if I go to Wal-Mart tonight and have to wait a half hour to check out with 1 thing, I'm going to flipping scream.
On the other hand, if you don't want to shop at the Dub, Wirefly.com has them for 69.99 with free activation and shipping.

It is probably only available to new users or upgrades signing a 2yr agreement.
I think the price is due to the fact that its a horribly made phone. I some how got verizon to take it back even though i was past my 30 days. thank god..set back is that im on a garbage flip untill something worthy comes out. Dont think im gonna go back to android though.
Notice even on ebay people are getting horrible offers for the phone. Samsung has a horrible name in the mobile phone industry....compare it to a moto phone,. Moto phones feel like quality
its free at my local best buy right now on an upgrade/new contract

I've never heard that Samsung had a horrible name in the mobile phone industry. I've heard that they aren't the greatest with providing updates, but the hardware in their phones is almost always the latest and greatest when the phones are released. Given the size and form factor, I can't say that my Fascinate feels flimsy either. If it weighed much more than it does, I'd wonder more about why it was so heavy over enjoying how much more sturdy it felt.
On a more personal note, if all you are going to do is come in here and bash the Fascinate, and not provide anything of any use or substance, I suggest you look elsewhere to read and post, possibly here
The Fascinate is among the best phone, hardware wise. Although, I do agree about the flimsy part. Coming from a Touch Pro, the Fascinate feels flimsy. If you feel that way too, I would recommend the verizon stand case. It adds a nice heft to the phone and feels very solid.
Also, ignore the trolls. I honestly believe that the iPhone is the ONLY way to go for some people.
no i know the hardware is great....if it works properly...ie:gps but cpu and gpu are great.
Yeah i got rid of my fascinate thank god. I came from the iphone on att but left because of the network. And now on verizon i tried android....but there are no quality apps, almost no push notification apps...ie:sports apps
I PERSONALLY believe that the iphone os is much better all around. Im gonna wait it out and hope the iphone gets released on verizon in the next 2 -3 months.
goodluck guys, hope u get gingerbread....

So, here's the situation... My contract is up with Sprint and trying to decide whether to stay or go. If I decide to stay with Sprint will probably go with the EVO 3d, want to stay loyal to the EVO, best phone ever. Or should I have a change of heart and go with something else or even swap out to another carrier? Too many choices.
Q: What would you do and what Phone would you get next???
Well why don't u just wait for the EVO 3d to come out and read the reviews ....if its good the buy it....if jot the go with another phone like the nexus s or maybe a different carrier.
Pick your carrier, pick one that gives you good service for the price and value for where you live. That should always be your number one concern when it comes to a cell phone, not which phone you want.
You need to decide that before you start getting phone recommendations.
I think if you are up for upgrade and your contract also ends soon, like Pao23 said, first make sure you are with a carrier that offers good service. People talk about AT&T being terrible, but I live in North Carolina and the service is about as good as any since Cingular started in this area. Sprint is pretty good where I live, except terrible at my office. If I was out of contract I would change.
In terms of phone I think any of the 1Ghz+ dual core phones are a smart buy. Evo 3D, LG 2x, or even the Atrix. Any of those are going to be like the Evo and not feel old for a while. They will probably get more OS updates. Anything older is going to leave you wanting in a year.
That has been the nice thing about the Evo. The Droid X, Droid 2, Inspire 4G, MyTouch 4G, Atrix, etc. have all come out, but never left me feeling like my phone was old and janky.
Not sure about u but sprint has the best deal I think. I pay 69.99 + 10.00 -23% off for me and +5.00 for sprint to home. So the sprint to home goes to my google voice number and with the google voice app every call I make is free. And like others say at&t stinks I think, I live in MN. And with the new HTC Evo coming out that should make you want to stay lol.
The only other provider to think about would be t mobile unless you want to pay big money. I dont love sprint but I sure got a good deal and the service is great here.

Sorry for OT, but everything good after the Tornados?
I vote either G2x or Evo 3d, but either way I would wait until the 3d comes out to decide.
Like others said, depends on which carrier gets good service where you are.

the Evo is still a great phone. I don't game so I haven't found an app which is slow or that makes me want to upgrade. The Evo has a fantastic dev community and I'm thinking I will wait until I really need to upgrade. The longer you wait, the better the phones that are available.

If Sprint gets an iPhone I'm out of the Android game.
I would wait until a month after the 3D launches and troll the forums for any issues that may come up. Once the excitement settles you'll see threads pop up with flaws and issues.

I voted stay with sprint and keep the Evo. It's still one of the highest rated phones on the market, and the best phone for Sprint (assuming you like sense or don't like slide-outs). Sprint may not have the best coverage but they are so much cheaper than anyone else in the contract game. When the Evo 3D comes out I may trade my Evo in for it, but that depends on the reviews.
I would probably wait unless you wanted to switch carriers. Let the dual cores roll out so can see what's up with them.
Perhaps we will see a dual core nexus

I just don't get it...the article says Samsung is working hard to get the 2.3 update up and running...why haven't we even gotten 2.2 yet?? Is it Samsung's fault or Verizon or both?
It's both, Samsung is incompetent when it comes to software, and Verizon's priority is loading the phone with money-making preinstall deals. Providing timely updates? Not a concern, they already made the sale and locked us into a two year contract.

VZW is the most expensive choice though.....
Where I live VZW has much better coverage. In the end that is the most important thing. I use very few minutes so roll over is not very important. But when I was on a multi line family plan roll over minutes was a plus to ' bank' minutes for the teens in the family.
But what I didn't like about ATT was it seemed like every time I called them my contract reset back to 2 years.
You pick your poison. . .
As for contracts I think both have pluses and minuses.

For what it's worth going into other carriers' stores and trying out their phones is well worth it. I switched to T-Mobile from Verizon and haven't looked back. Then again, T-Mobile is king where I am day to day. On top of that I wager it's fair to say that if you're looking to get the most out of a phone homebrew wise Verizon is the worst place to look

If you can afford to replace $600-$1000 devices that aren't broken that still function the same as a phone, then by all means go ahead. 2 years is more than enough if you pay $200 to get a top of the line device. 2 years is too long if you take the cheap or free device. But that's your own fault.

I've been doing this same process for about 2-3 years now, and thought I would share. Basically, I'll buy the latest and greatest phone for Tmobile, and almost after a year (usually sooner), I'll call customer service, tell them I'm not happy with the phone, or bored, or really like a new one coming out, etc, and ask them politely if there is anything they can do since I'm not eligible for an upgrade and still inside contract.
Every time I've done this, they have always said, sure, you've been with us for a long time now, and they just replace my existing contract with a brand new one, and give me the upgrade price. I'll end up selling my old phone for the price of the upgrade, so basically I get a new phone each year and don't have to spend one dime. Well, I just called and did the same thing, and they are going to sell me the LG G2X for 260 w/ tax, and I just sold my Vibrant on Craig's list for 260. Should get my new phone Thursday.
I've loved my Vibrant, and had no issues really with it, (minus some weird gps issues every once in a while), but I'm a gadget geek, so I always gotta have the latest and greatest. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone in the Vibrant community, (dev's too), as my Vibrant experience has been great. I'll miss that beautiful screen, but I think I won't even notice with the raw power of the GX2. Anyway, just thought I'd share my story, since I had no clue tmobile would even do this for you. I just called up randomly one day and asked to see what they would say. Tmobile has always done everything they can to keep me as a customer.
I thought this was known? They just add +2 years to your contract

No, the difference is, they basically tear up your old contract, and replace it with a brand new one. ie... if you had say 1.5 years on your contract, and they let you upgrade, your 1.5 year contract would be gone, and you would have a 2 year contract only starting today. So, I should technically have a 3.5 year contract, but only have a 2 year contract.

Please let us know how the GPS is on the G2X. I'm also seriously considering an upgrade, but I've been reading mixed reviews on the G2X GPS, so am waiting for more user reports. (Don't mean this in any way to detract from your decision. I really hope the G2X has a perfect GPS.)
Thanks.
I can understand the "stick it to the man" type attitude, but what a prickish way to go about and purposely do this.
Buy the phone outright if you want new phones all the time. You end up spending about the same in a years time frame. (At least with TMO).
AT&T... well they don't have a "non-contract" rate that's cheaper. I'd have a less irritated opinion then.
So does this work for someone with t-mobile for 6 or 8 months? I would guess not.

I've never been deceptive with them. my gps has always wondered and taken a while to lock, even with the fix. I simply told them I wasn't happy with the gps, and wanted to upgrade. The time before that, I said I was tired if my phone. They said they wanted me to be happy and no problem.

My brother has had the phone now for a day and I've been tinkering with it since he's new to android. GPS works 100%, absolutely fantastic. Using GPS Test I got 12 satellites within 3 seconds and 12/12 locked and all the gps readings are litterally off the charts with 200+ readings. Accuracy is consistent @ 3-10 ft accuracy - mostly at 5ft accuracy. Hope this helps anyone that has doubts on the GPS on G2X because it is NOT a problem .
Didnt know this was anything special. This is all cool if you dont plan changing companies because if you do leave with you new phones im pretty sure theres a etf. Why would any company care what phone you get, your still locked into a 2year agreement. After 1month-or a year, when you get another phone, your still locked into a 2year agreement. Im pretty sure Tmo and Sprint will do anything possible to satisfy there custumers.

I wonder if there will be an "Epic 2", or at least a Galaxy S2 with a keyboard. Samsung seems to be releasing a new Galaxy S every year. I imagine we will have more information around late summer.

Crazy Deal! I say you go for the deal that gives you the free Lady Gaga CD.
I'm so pissed that I bought this phone a week ago. Now I have to waste $35 for a gay ass restocking fee. I'm never upgrading my phone through Sprint store again. I'll just do it online now since it doesn't have this gay fee.
Evo 3d
$199
on contract!!!
I think my father's actually planning on getting an Epic in the next week or two. He is impressed with mine and frustrated beyond belief with his old blackberry. His contract is up so at zero cost I expect him to be happy with this. And honestly, a 1ghz phone that will be running GB in the near future w/ a 4in screen and a 5-row keyboard. There's very little that compares.
nice deal, i'll pick one up
Just saw on Engadget.

Engaget really dropped the ball today and it is getting totally lit up in the comments section.
Engaget's Review of the Atrix:
In their review they gave it a 9/10, and even stated in their review, "The Atrix 4G might be our favorite Android device that we've tested."
Source: http://www.engadget.com/motorola/atrix-4g-review/
Engaget's "Recommendation" posted today:
"We're not going to mince words, the Motorola Atrix has a number of urgent software issues that make it tough to recommend, but at least AT&T is pricing the Blur-saddled smartphone into the realm of reason."

All I can say is grab some popcorn and have fun reading the comments. They are getting lit up, and this is gonna make my day go so much faster at work. Obviously Engaged got all caught up with their well known "mancrush" with "Apple" and the recent news of IOS 5.
Oh Engaget, you really should keep up with what you have written in the past. Good stuff... lol
well here is my question what is replacing it in the AT&T line up?? I mean AT&T only drops the price on its flagship phones when they replace with another... Galaxy S2 ??

I agree it is bizarre their only phones over $99 now are the Infuse, the iPhone, and the mediocre HTC HD7S for Windows 7. I hope this means they got something cool up their sleeves for June that we don't know about.
it might not be june but i think before summer is out SGS2 is coming it just makes to much sense

What people in the comments don't understand is that there is a new group of guys at engadget now while the others are gone at Thisismynext. Josh.T reviewed the Atrix first so his review and opinon might be different than others that are there now.
Just ordered mine today.

Upgrading on another phone
I have 4 phones on my plan but only 3 of them have the data (last is for my daughter's emergency phone).
Of the 3 on the data plan, mine still has the medianet plan on my captivate which the AT&T rep was kind enough to keep for me when he upgraded my phone from an older phone to the captivate.
But phone #4 without the data plan is up for upgrade and I'm wondering if I order it online, do I have to pick a data plan for it? Or will it try to put a dataplan on it if I use it with her sim card but not mine?
I'm thinking if I unlock the phone and just put my sim chip in it, I can keep my unlimited, but not sure if the data plan automatically gets put on phone #4 if I upgrade on that.
Anyone know?
Hey guys
Is it the plan version or the RRP? coz I got mine for $550 from other source=(
Crap, I just bought my Atrix on Saturday... Costco gave me a good deal though.
its $449 no commitments now

I'm getting more tempted to dump mine. (Bell version) No official support, and the US version dropping in price...

I'm getting in on this. My plan is up for renewal and $100 seems good to me. I plan on rooting it, getting the webtop over HDMI running and possibly buying a bluetooth keyboard/trackpad.
Anyone have any tips or tricks?
I'm a little nervous because I have an N900 which lets me do pretty much anything I want...
Lap Dock
Im wondering if they are gonna dump the price of the phone are they gonna drop the price of the Dock as well? With a locked bootloader im getting kinda bored with this thing. Maybe a dock will give me something to mess around with. Im sure not paying $300 for it though.
You can also get a refurbished one for 50$
So I says to her I says....Get to tha chopper!!!
