Which means? I am not an ATT subscriber. I would really like this phone though.

not being an ATT subscriber is exactly why.

just get it off ebay or through another seller. carriers don't have a reason to let stock go to those who aren't their customers or becoming their customers. (yes i know we should be able to get them, but why waste stock on those that won't use their service?)

you still haveplenty of options.

**dfairlite** · 08-13-2010, 01:40 AM

but those other options are more pricey

at the moment, I'm sure with some digging you may be able to find the torch at the $499 retail pricing at&t offers. Some places may be able to be talked down since retail pricing is always a significant markup from their cost on it.

Can't online. From their site:

No-Commitment Pricing

You may purchase a new AT&T phone without a contract at the no-commitment price. This non-discounted equipment purchase option does not require a two-year contract or other long-term service commitment. No-commitment equipment pricing is available to customers that are not on a prepaid or GoPhone® plan. You can purchase a phone at no-commitment prices at AT&T retail stores. For an AT&T retail store near you, visit our store locator.

have you tried Amazon?
i know E-bay will charge you around 600-750 without contract

**geocd** · 08-13-2010, 07:01 AM

Best Buy had the price at ~$725 without a contract.

**greggebhardt** · 08-13-2010, 07:20 AM

They are $599 at Amazon and if you are a Prime member you can have it shipped the next day for $2.99.

**scorpiodsu** · 08-13-2010, 08:59 AM

Just buy the phone on contract then cancel the contract within 30 days and keep the phone. They will charge you the difference between what you paid and retail price.

I wonder how long until they allow for outright purchase. I am an ATT customer but not eligible for an upgrade yet and wanted to buy outright. Waited 45 minutes in the ATT store and was told that I could not buy it. The saleman walked to the back to get the phone and I was all pumped but then came back empty handed. He was told due to supply they could not sell them.. Bummer.
