if in the U.S. order it from bestbuy.com and pick it up in a local store.

[clifford938]

$549 at best buy now though, was $499 last week

[clifford938]

ATT told me they can't sell them out of contract for 6 mos from now even if I want to pay the $499 listed price

[Mikey52]

Looks like you can't order from Best Buy without getting a $15 data plan.. true?

[bryanliu]

Try Craig's list, I've found few of them under $400 here in Oregon.

[Dakova]

This is just outrageuos, y say u can get it without a contract, then say u can't sell it without one.??

you can, at bestbuy and pick up in store. But if you walk in and try to buy it there, they'll tell you you have to go into a contract. I guess dangling the carrots at ATT store, they still won't bite selling it outright. Doesn't make sense to me

[laollis]

Amazon for $599.

Thats BS because I got mine from an ATT store last week for the out-of-contract price.

[insaini]

y is it 599 on amazon and 499 at att store? doesnt make sense

I bought mine at AT&T. Tell them it's a gift.

I'm from Canada and my bro was down in USA and just walked in a AT&T store and bought me a brand new 9800.

$499.99 plus taxes came out to be $538.74

I then purchased an unlock code from ebay for $1 and it's working all fine

[clifford938]

I tried like 3 ATT stores in San Francisco area, all said no

[ddenn]

this is looking rather inconsistent..
i'm going to have to buy my phone outright anyways, since Fido will likely not carry this phone, and i was hoping to save a few pennies hopping across the border.
Anyone in and around Detroit successful in getting one?

[soccernamlak]

Definitely try craigslist. Someone in the Charlotte area had their Torch up for $300...don't know if it is legit or not, but hey, could be worth the risk.

Edit: For those who want to jump on that phone: Blackberry Torch 9800 Smartphone

[ddenn]

although best buy jacked up the price this week and amazon sells for 600, the official price at att is still 500 correct?

This is from the AT&T Website:

"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."

The price is listed at $499.

Edit: I found this when I clicked the "No Commitment Pricing" on the Torch page. Seems as if you went to a retail store and pointed this out to them they couldn't really deny you the right to purchase without a contract.

oh, Nice!! I'm printing that out. Never had so much trouble trying to spend $500 on a cellphone

Walmart 500+tax in L.A. Got mine last week no questions asked took 2 minutes in and out. And next door was an att store they wouldn't sell it to me without renewing contract. I went back to show them my walmart receipt and the guy who worked there told me after he gets off work he was going to walmart too to buy it no contract. Stupid AT&T they think people are stupid or something.
