Costco

Sprint is still at Costco as a whole, but the stores make some decisions.
Most likely it was just moved. Ask at the front door.

Maybe the new ones. In the past (say last Spring), the batteries were
shipped from Samsung.

That IS what I said. They likely moved them.

The VGA-1000 was not out last Spring.

Basically i was saying that there was the possibility of them leaving but

Do you attack both sides?

And, as I said, I was referencing the A500 battery. I simply stated
history with the off chance it applied to the present.

So you reply to me and reiterate what I said, and when I tell you that
you said what I had just posted you ask me if I am attacking both
sides? Alright, that makes a lot of sense.

Went to our local (Minneapolis) Costco.

The Sprint rep was there, but had only two phones, the Samsung A460,
which is now being phased out by Sprint, and the Sanyo 8100, which is
a phone in which I am not interested.

Very disappointing.

You must have went to the St. Louis Park store. The Coon Rapids store also
has (as of last Sunday) the Samsung VGA1000.

They are probably not in stock at the moment, ask them to look up the next
shipment.

Which phone are you looking for.

Did go to the St. Louis Park Store as conjectured by Tom.

I am looking for the Samsung I500.

This might not happen. Costco hasn't traditionally sold the highest
priced SPCS phones. The most expensive one I've ever seen at CostCo is
the VGA 1000 and I look every time I'm in there.

They were selling the Sanyo 5300 for awhile and I saw the Samsung A600 for a
very short period of time. I have never seen any PDA phones being sold
there. The market is probably too narrow for Costco, which loves to do
things in bulk.

I have... took less than 4 weeks. From some place called in Oxford, MI
called PC Treasures Inc. It's not an OEM battery, 3rd party. What's nice is
that it's not much thicker than the regular battery.

The i500 was suposed to come to some costco's, like the a600 which only hit
a few stores in a few markets, but with the new phones coming out soon i bet
they are waiting for them.
