Does Costco have any good in-store deals these days, as it has in the
past?

Re: Costco
I think so, yes. Here in the Los Angeles area Costcos the Samsung
A-460 is $68 and the Sanyo 8100 is $169. Both come with car charger,
handsfree set and holster. At to all this a lifetime return policy as
long as you keep the receipt, and it all adds up to a very good deal,
whether you're an existing or new SPCS customer.

Re: Costco
At the San Francisco Costco, it's similar. A460 for $68, A620 for $249,
silver 8100 on display but no price tag, all including car charger and
earbud in the box. A card (LIT17419TG) says you also get a $35 PCS
Service Credit and FREE PCS Voice Command for 12 months, but the back of
the card says "...with a new phone number..."
Another card (LIT46432) at the kiosk says "Get an Extended life battery
FREE by mail with the purchase and activation of the PCS Vision Picture
Phone VGA1000 by Samsung...You will automatically receive your extended
life battery by mail 4-6 weeks after activation...Restrictions
apply...Offer ends March 31, 2004"

Re: Costco
The best thing about Costco is their "Lifetime Satisfaction Guarantee" which
many folks have invoked in situations where a SprintPCS store would decline to
replace a problem phone.

Has anyone received the free extended battery yet?
I've been waiting 6 weeks so far.

I received my battery for my A500 in about three weeks. I have little doubt
about their authenticity. I do believe they have a method for you to check
on the progress of the battery order (which is how it was classified when I
received mine). I chose to "order" the battery through their webpage, so
YMMV if you chose the postal route.

Fine Print - The "extended" part was the time time it took to ship the
battery.
(sorry, not trying to have fun at your misfortune, hope you receive it
soon.).

Re: Costco
The Sprintpcs desk was no longer where it was at my local Costco (
Atlanta ( Dunwoody ) GA . They may have moved it but where it was
located are now AT&T prepaid "go" phones .

By "their webpage" you mean SprintPCS? I thought this was a Costco deal.
The promotion at Costco said "Get an Extended life battery FREE by mail
with the purchase and activation of the PCS Vision Picture Phone VGA1000
by Samsung...You will automatically receive your extended life battery by
mail 4-6 weeks after activation."
Based on that last statement, I haven't done anything but activate the phone,
and I wasn't given a means to follow up on the battery deal. Should I
complain to Costco or to SprintPCS?

Circuit City has also dumped SprintPCS.

No, Samsung. They are the ones who have given out the extended battery
deals in the past. They put a little card in the box my phone came in [from
Costco] and I could either mail it in or go online and do it. It actually
processes an order for you in the amount of $0. I was able to track the
progress of the order. I believe it wasn't even updated as shipped yet when
the battery arrived at the door. Come to think of it, I don't think it was
even three weeks. I think it was only about 1 week. My brother received
his battery equally fast.

Costco didn't dump Sprint phones (unless it happened since last weekend). I
suspect they simply moved the Sprint stand. They moved it at the store I
visit more than twice (as they move everything in that store from time to
time).

I bought a VGA 1000 from CostCo in August--and have since lost it
--but there was no card for an extra battery in the box. I thought I
must have imagined the offer, since there was no printed material for
it anywhere.
Anyway, about three weeks later, an extended battery arrived at my
home nonetheless. It was labeled as a "Sprint" battery, not "Samsung."
Came with a thank-you-for-purchasing-at-CostCo note, clear out of the
blue. Works great, and actually, for some reason I can't explain, it
weighs just a hair less than the slim battery.
But one thing I do know: I never asked for it or ordered it. It just
showed up in the mail one day.

Re: Costco
Wrong, Costco is the one who is giving out the battery. If you have not
gotten it yet, go into costco and talk to the people in membership. They
can look it up for you.
