my order asks for upgrade info, last 4 of SSN and cell phone#. Did you guys have to provide that?
Yeah. I think they just link it to an account on AT&T. My buddy went to buy the T-Mobile version yesterday in a store and he just wanted to buy off contract and does not even have a T-Mobile number yet. He had to provide them with a existing T-Mobile number to buy it. So he used his friends number.
I have the SSN/account holder issue any time I've upgraded a phone. My cell phone account is actually held by my workplace, not me personally, so I need my father's (the owner) SSN to do anything with my phone plan. Should be interesting when they do the verification with me on Monday.
Dang, the original account was in my wifes name then I added a second line. Hmm wonder which ssn they want? 50/50 chance of getting it correct. I would think it would be hers. thoughts?
I have it here...check it out

I just ordered the phone, that price is crazy. Does anyone know if the phone will come activated? I hope not, I have an iPhone 4 and really want to just use the SIM from my iPhone in this phone, with a micro sim adapter of course.
Anyone ever ordered from this site know if the phone comes activated?

For those waiting on letstalk.com for the order, What is going to happen is come monday, they will call you and then have you call your bank to verify you are the account holder. You only need to do this when you first setup your account with them.
I went through all of this last year with my 8900

I wonder if I walk into the at&t store if they will give me a hard time if I want to buy it off contract? I've had that happen before bc of low stock.
You should not be given a hard time if you want to make a purchase on or off contract.
Just got off the phone with LetsTalk.com...they've found the bug in their system and have changed it to the proper $499...most likely all of your orders will be cancelled or at least not approved for shipment before you agree to pay the right price for the phone...good luck all of you who already placed your orders at $229...
Yup they changed it. I ordered mine at 7 this morning and no cancelation email - yet. Others who ordered late have been canceled. Crossing my fingers but I don't think that will help.
I actually got my Captivate on Friday night at our local AT&T store. My husband's co-worker got his hands on one Thursday night. The rep at the store did say that they were told they could go ahead and start selling them. My contract was up in a couple of days, but they went ahead and renewed it, so I could get it for the $200 price. I've been on an unlimited data & text message plans for regular phones, so I had to change to a Smartphone data plan (we checked my usage and I've been under 200mb for over a year), and adjusted my text message plan (though I go beyond 200 text messages, now that I'm on Google Talk all the time, anyone I need to talk to is on there). So at the moment, my cellphone bill will be less than what I'd been paying (a little over $70), we'll see how my data runs in the first month.
So far, I'm loving the phone. I had considered the Dell Streak for the past 4 or so months, but I drooled over the Galaxy S phones when they first showed up in the tech news. I am sooo glad I decided to go back to getting one of these beautiful Samsung devices. The screen is crisp. I was wanting a device big enough to see my comic books on it, and this one does a wonderful job. I really don't need the Streak. I have small hands, and the Captivate is still kinda big, it's definitely nowhere near the size of the Streak. I can handle it easily with as thin as it is.
Make sure when you get yours: Update Google Maps. Go through using it to give you directions somewhere, and you'll then need to download the Voice directions, and then that will be setup.
The Samsung skin isn't bad at all - you have 7 screens to add widgets to, and you can sweep all the way to the one you want with the bubbles at the top. You also have 4, seemingly unchangeable widgets at the bottom, including a POP3 email button. I don't have POP3, I have Gmail accounts - my personal and my work account we use a Google Domain, so I'm set there. We found when you're in the Applications, hit the Menu button and Edit, and then you can change the 4 widget buttons at the bottom of the screen. We moved Gmail to my Email button. Also in the Applications, hit Menu & go to View Type - there's a Customizable Grid - I moved all my useless AT&T crap to the last page. Out of sight, out of mind, out of accidental clicking distance. The Contacts has also been skinned (as my husband complains), but it's not that big of a deal to me, since this is my first Android device (besides running Android off of my storage card on my old phone).
The Samsung Media Player & Video player are awesome. I was lamenting that I'd have to go through and change my media library to MP3's (like my husband has been doing for his Nexus One) and lo & behind, it plays .wma files perfectly. It's definitely a nicer setup than the stock Android Media Player. Videos are crisp - I only tested a .avi that I had, and it was great.
16GB of internal space, I was very stoked, plus that I have a 16GB microSD card my husband bought me a year or so ago. So much room I don't know what to do with it, but I may start loading more videos more often. I'm happy to have a normal headphone jack again - I've been using the HTC Touch Pro (AT&T Fuze) for the past 2 years, and having to attach the mini USB dongle to use headphones has been a pain in the arse.
Other thoughts & finds: It is a little slow from time to time. I'll touch something and it takes it a few seconds to work. The touch buttons on th bottom of the phone sometimes aren't responsive right away. I have to touch them a few times to get them to work. The battery life, so far, is great. I'm currently leaving it on wireless when I'm at home - I figure that will help with data usage, plus it's just plain faster. My Fuze, using the wireless even for a little bit drained the sucker. But right now it seems that the battery life on the Samsung Captivate is better than the Nexus One running Froyo, but I haven't taken it out of the house for a day at work just yet.

So if ordering it off WalMart.com. They want you to sign up for a 900 minute a month plan for $59.99a month. IF you try to sign up with the 450 mins a month plan for $39.99 it changes the price of the phone to $120?
So if I ordered the phone, waited a month and changed it back to what I use of 450 mins at $39.99, will anything happen? Will walmart or lets talk try to charge me. I don't need that many minutes but don't completely understand while the prices are different.
