    .
    $650, no contract. The S is not available in the US that is why you will not see it on AT&T's site. If you want it you have to purchase unlocked/ sim free.

    No you do not go to AT&T. You buy it online (see link below). This is where I bought it from

    When you purchase, you then go to AT&T to get a micro sim to insert into the S. Make sure you give AT&T your IMEI number so they have it on their network. When you insert the sim card go to settings, wireless & networks, mobile networks, access point names, menu, new APN, then select home button. It may take up to 24 hours to register on the network but it will.

    thank you, can I go with T-mobile or just AT&T ?

    Tmobiles 3G band is 1700 and I don't think that the S supports this. You would only get Edge speeds.

    hey Rene, does this phone include everythings ? micro HDMI, smart tags, screen protect, because I dont see these informations on the website that you gave me before ! and you think this is the best price ^^ thank you.

    Hey Tom - Unfortunately the phone I purchased came with nothing (this was not a deal breaker for me). It really depends on the market/supplier/carrier. I purchased my own micro HDMI for $20, The smart tags will be less than $20 when they are available in the US, there is already a pre-installed screen protector on the S so there is no need in my opinion to even consider needing another as the life cycle of the S will be a short one.

    There is always a better price somewhere. My advice to you is be confident in your decision. if you are not comfortable with the price then you should not purchase it. Rule of thumb is sit on it for 24 hours and then come back to it.
