It appears a third-party company processes the activations for Sam's Club - clicking on any of the upgrade links takes me to a completely different website. It looks like - for family plans - the 1400min is the minimum to get the SGS2 for 96 cents, which is a no-go for me since my plan never goes over the 700 currently alotted. I will probably try Radio Shack for $50, or see if BBY will price match the 96 cents like previous posters have mentioned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dream5hift:
Have you done that before after buying from sams club? I've swapped sims before when I bought from costco and had att take off the data plan since the other line isn't a smartphone. Costco did no deactivation charge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] P1 Wookie:
Haven't ever bought a phone from Sam's Club. But like I said, the data plan won't be dropped from the line I upgraded. It currently has an iPhone 4 on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] scottwood2:
I have tried 3 times now to order this online. It requires you to get a store near you. When I select my store in MI it states

'View Only Item: You can view the specifications for this item here but, to purchase this item you will need to visit your local Club for availablity and purchasing.'

I am logged in as a member. Maybe different areas of the country are different? :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] P1 Wookie:
Maybe their online stock has been exhausted?

It's been 'Out of Stock Online' since early this morning. Not sure how early I should get there but they open at 5AM so I'm thinking around 3AM. Best Buys in my area are already nuts...

[EDIT] Well I got the phone and I'm ready to go. I should sleep but too much to do now, lol. Sam's was crazy busy but I got there early and was the first phone customer. They had 46 total and from the look of it, they were going damn fast... good luck to everyone wanting to take advantage of this offer. Best $1.03 (damn tax :) I ever spent.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] qwertyaas:
Bestbuy won't price match to either this or Radioshack. They say they don't match BF deals.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dschreiber69:
I just got mine this morning from the local AT&T store for $50. They matched the radio shack deal. :D

I will be over here a lot more... look forward to getting to know you guys. ;)

im goin to try price matching at best buy tomorrow cuz if u look at Sam Club add it is weekend deal not just back friday. It says on the top an in fine print 25-27
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yahoowizard:
Two ATT stores rejected me. The second one said they called the customer support people, too, over the phone, who said that they don't do it. I gave up.

What made you want to return the vivid?

Sent from my páhhōniē
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] qwertyaas:
Best Buy told me they won't price match any deal for this weekend as it's BF weekend, regardless of how they classify the sale.

As for AT&T, you have to be very lucky to get a price match from them. They usually refuse to price match anything at all.

I would guess lack of development, bulkiness of the phone, not being a SGSII ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dschreiber69:

FYI - I am coming from the Inspire 4G and... I am in love with this phone :D

I had purchased mine about a week ago so I was within the 30 day "price guarantee". I got the same response that it doesn't count toward BF deals. Interestingly, that's not stated anywhere in their written price guarantee policy. So I talked to the manager. Same result. They won't budge until Tuesday. No problem I said, I'd like to return my phone. Took my $200 and went across the street to Sams and blew $1.02 and got another brand new GS2. Now do you think I'm going to spend that $199 bucks at Best Buy or Sams?:rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
Tax in Cali is indeed on the full price but at Sam's Club, you only pay on the sale price. As I mentioned earlier, I bought mine for $1.03 including tax in Sacramento this morning.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] P1 Wookie:
I guess the AT&T store here must just be super friendly...I've price matched with them several times in the past and as long as I've had the ad they've had no problem.

Yeah, I originally got it pmed to $99 so I left it since it wasn't worth the hassle and I should be getting 5000 reward zone points too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bamiao:
When you returned your phone @ best buy did they automatically returned your upgrade status back or did you have an extra upgrade left to get your phone at Sam's club? I am thinking about returning my phone back to Target but was concerned that it might take a couple of days to get my upgrade status back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nomisunrider:
The sam's club near me only sells t-mobile and sprint devices/plans =(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] WMguy:
I made sure to remind them to reverse my upgrade. They did that and it went through instantly. I was at Sams within 5 minutes.

HTH

EDIT: but no, it wasn't automatic. They have to manually initiate it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jimmyzshack:
I just picked one up from Sams :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bamiao:
Thanks for the info. The Sam's club here in fresno is out of stock, so looks like I will miss out on this deal. I have until the 16th of december to return my phone, hopefully something better comes along before that.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nasapunk88:
just picked mine up last night!! Its an amazing phone and my total Including Tax from Sam's club was $1.04 !!

Sam's club is amazing that it charges tax based on sale price (vs retail like everyone else, which would be near $50)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dream5hift:
Does Sam's club check membership at the entrance or when you pay at register?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nerz:
I bought mine online because I was afraid that they either wouldn't be any left on BF or that the people that said they weren't having BF deals on mobile phones after I called and checked at Two different Sams clubs. Only problem now is that the online provider is out of stock and I'm not sure when I will get mine :-(. I wish there was some way to get it faster. Either way, .96 for a sgs2 I guess worth the wait. Although I'm pacing until I see a shipping confirmation number.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
They check at both times. Sometimes they forget to check when you enter but they definitely need the card during checkout.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dream5hift:
Is this deal dead in store? I want to try to get it today.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nasapunk88:
when i got mine on Friday , I barely made it to the store in time and the guy said the deal ended in 4 minutes (closing time).

I would call and check if you can still get it though!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
According to the flyer in the newspaper, this deal was part of their 3-day event. It started Friday at 5AM and ends when the store closes tonight. But I guess it wouldn't hurt to call and confirm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dream5hift:
I got a college membership that I'll cancel and get refund later. I just got my phone for $1.04 a moment ago.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nerz:
Wish the online store would hurry up and get some in stock so they can finally ship it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jchinai:
What is it that leads you to believe that they don't have enough stock to ship your order? And why do you state it as a fact?

You probably ordered Thursday or Friday... Thursday is not a business day, and them shipping Friday would probably not be expected (few places actually ship things out within a business day, especially a phone that requires contract verification). Saturday is not a business day for most shipping companies (or probably them as well). Sunday sure as hell isn't a business day....

Why do you think your phone should have shipped by now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nerz:
Or it could be because my order hasn't gotten past the order validation and upon calling them because of a problem with my address, they told me they were currently out of stock and weren't sure when they would get some.

But thank you for the shipping lecture.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yahoowizard:
Got denied the price match in two stores. One guy claimed they weren't doing it on the west coast x.x
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dksmoove:
He is right though. The shipping will be handled by Fedex, it takes at least a day to get everything approved, and with all the orders coming it- processing takes quite a while. In addition, Fedex does not deliver on weekends.

They were definitely out of stock- for people who haven't ordered yet. People who were able to place an order will get their phones, this was confirmed when I visited my local Sam's today. In fact, you should expect the phone to come by Tuesday or Wednesday of this week.

I am in the same boat as you, I placed my order the night the sale was live and have yet to receive processing & shipping validation. But we should be getting our orders finalized and shipped by the end of Monday.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] superdog404:
Has anyone received processing & shipping validation that their phone has been shipped yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jtrasap:
I'm in the same boat. I ordered mine Thursday morning just after midnight central time and am still waiting for "Order validation". My expected ship date which first said that it was expected to ship Friday then changed to Sat, then today, and now has changed to tomorrow. Man, I can't wait for this phone to get here. I was really ready to go back to the Iphone but after watching reviews and whatnot on this phone I'm definitely willing to give android one more shot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] la5794:
Yeah just checked my order status and they changed my shipping date to 11/29 also. I did a chat with a Rep and they offered to overnight it when it does come in. So I can wait for a few more days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nerz:
I was fine with my captivate until I knew I had a sgs2 coming. Now I'm on pins and needles. I'm going to try and get the over night shipping. It's just hard for me to understand them and get anything accomplished because every time I have called they have very bad accents.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dksmoove:
Yep my "estimated" ship date has changed to 11/29/11. It has been pushed back every day.

Did the chat rep offer to overnight it free of charge, or do we have to pay extra for that as well?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] P1 Wookie:
Well, we all ordered probably the most popular android phone in the world right now for the cheapest price possible for folks upgrading. There's no telling how many hundreds of people also ordered it, so we all just need to be patient. Your estimated ship date is going to keep changing until they get more in and can ship it. They told me last night they expected a batch last night to go out but of course it's first come first serve, so just be patient.

also got a free bluetooth headset too (not sure of make/model)

Mine's finally validated and supposed to ship today be here tomorrow!!

Can't wait. I hope this thing lives up to my expectations because my captivate sucked pretty bad. Been waiting for my upgrade to get the Iphone 4s but after watching vids and reviews on the gsii I'm going to give android another shot to redeem itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
I think you'll be very pleased with your choice. I had the Captivate as well and I actually liked it for the most part, aside from the crappy GPS which we all know was poor. Finally getting to my SGS2 was like the arrival of FINALLY being home! :D

How are you guys getting free overnight shipping and items like bluetooth? I talked to 3 reps since I ordered right after the sale went live, and mine didn't ship till today. Friends ordered after I did and theirs shipped yesterday. I was told they don't do overnight, even after explaining how two friends ordered well after I did on same network (AT&T) yet theirs shipped yesterday, and mine didn't. They had no answer for that.

Least it should be here by Friday.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] la5794:
I talked to them through the chat option. They offered overnight shipping I just agreed. Mine is set to arrive tomorrow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jchinai:
I spoke to reps over chat as well. After the ship date got pushed back one day, I complained and told them they should upgrade my shipping because they promised me the wrong shipping date. They agreed and promised me it would ship out the next day.

The next day when the order got pushed back AGAIN, I went back to chat, told them I had been promised the previous day it would ship that day and it didn't and let them know how upset I was. They then offered the free bluetooth headset. The phone shipped the next day. I will be getting it in today.

Thanks,,,,, that's what I did when I got it..........installed all the updates. I have a white 16gb US version slider bought from newegg.com. I basically just got it a week or so ago & I really like it but the rooting (or not being able to rather) was depressing me cuz I finally found a tablet I liked, this one (Asus Slider) of course.

I just want the basic rooting to use custom fonts & a few other apps that require a rooted device. My google account automatically installed Superuser & stuff from my account. Should I uninstall that till I root it?

Do I need to use Razorclaw while plugged into my pc? I use WinXP Pro.

Thanks for everyone's help!
[General Questions and Answers] Lilextreme:
Thanks! Gonna check that link.
[General Questions and Answers] zektor:
This is the best part. With Razorclaw, you do not need a computer at all. Just pur the APK on the microSD card, enable to install unknown sources (in settings) and install it. Next, run it and click to root. Easy as pie. Does not matter if you install or uninstall SU, as Razorclaw installs it for you when launched.

And I agree, the Slider is the best tab on the market in my honest opinion. It's essentially a better built Transformer (no offense to the Transformer fans!)
