Walmart is advertising Infuse for $188.88, see the ad at http://teenstalktech.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/walmart-infuse-4g.jpg
So my plan is to try to by the phone at Best Buy on Sunday and if their price is much higher than Walmart I'll ask them to match it. Can anyone tell me about the Best Buy price match process? Would it be adequate proof for me to bring a print of this jpg? Any guess how many hours I will have to stand in line at the customer disservice?

The Infuse will definitely be available on the 15th there. I preordered mine today. Non-contracted price will be $599.99 (probably less at the ATT store). And Best Buy mobile will NOT accept price matching from Wal-Mart as they don't consider them to be a real competitor in the mobile department. I tried this on my Inspire. 
They won't match Amazon either.

Definitely odd that it is a Sunday... All of the information I have been getting is very vague. I sincerely hope they get it as I am rather anxious to get my hands on this beauty of a device.
This phone is getting a bad rep from people who haven't even used it. I read PCMag's review and I thought to myself "What iPhone hugging Apple fanboy wrote this biased garbage?" I'm tired of hearing about all the bad things. I'm going to give it a shot, dammit!

Well sunday seems odd but at&t has done quite a few sunday releases i think they want customers to be able to come in store launch day instead of just ordering early.
I didn't read the pcmag review but a lot of people are anti samsung after the galaxy s update fail. And i camt blame them i loved my captivate and will be taking a look at the infuse maybe getting on sunday but i can understand why people might shy away.

I'm definitely going Sunday... my one fear -- haven't told anyone yet 
-- is that it will be too big and look/feel ridiculous. But, on the other, I am perfectly fine with 4.3 inch screens and the Infuse is only 0.2 inches bigger (diagonally, of course), so I am not sure why I am worried.
Is anyone else anxious about the Infuse ... being "Inhuge"? LOL

yea i certainly am i have used a few 4.3" devices and they were def. big it is possible it will be too big for many but thats why you try it first.

A friend of mine is the Manager of larger AT&T stores in my market, she has an Atrix right now (hates it, says she can't see the display outside) and has the Infuse waiting in her office. She did say its a really great phone, super awesome display (of course) and that yes its launch date is the 15th.
I was strongly considering the Infuse vs the Droid Charge vs the SGS2 (AT&T or Verizon) of course part of it comes down to the wife's approval to split our mobile service. IF the Charge had 16GB of internal storage I would just stay with Verizon, but it only has 1GB (lame) and the SGS2 is even better.

I went to Best Buy yesterday (May 17) to get this phone. They told me that it wasn't goin to be launched until the 22nd. So I left and called Best Buy's 1-800 number. They said they are showing it available at the store I went to (Clarksville, IN) and wasn't sure why they weren't selling it. They even said they had it in stock according to their inventory. They took my name and number and said they are going to look into it and give me a call back. I don't have much faith in them doing that so I think I'll go to a different Best Buy and hope that I have better luck.
That's ridiculous, but I'm not surprised. I haven't had the best experiences at BB.
You may want to try picking up the phone from AT&T. On another thread, someone said it was $149 if you bought an accessory of some sort, which is a good deal; though not as good as the $129 that is supposedly at BB. You could also try buying from BB.com and doing local store pickup. This would sort of force the store you went to come up with the device somehow!!!
