    ETF for Samsung Captivate

    Does anyone know the ETF for this device? I looked on AT&T's website, and it's not listed as an "advanced device", meaning that it should be $150 (http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/ar...-term-fees.jsp). But, the Captivate is a pretty advanced phone, so I'm wondering if there is an error. I'd consider getting one from wirefly for $100 and taking the $150 ETF (plus 1 month fee, plus activation) should still be a decent price. Thoughts?

    Third party resellers have their own 6-month contract and will charge you another $200 or so if you cancel or downgrade your plan. Buy it on eBay for around $400.

    AT&T's ETF for the Captivate is $325 as it is with all Smartphones.

    Thanks. Do you have a link? According to the link I posted, this device is not on the advanced device list (perhaps they have not updated the list, but I can't find anything that specifically mentions the Captivate is $325).

    You are right. I read the fine print, and wirefly was going to change another surcharge, making this option not cost effective. Looked on Ebay, these are still going in the $450+ range right now, but I'll keep looking.
