It is pretty common to get price matches in some of the stores. You might have to try a couple to get it, but it is common.

I will also tell you that he is wrong about Amazon. They are a great company to buy a phone from... I've done it twice. In the case of some carriers, they actually give you a LONGER evaluation period than if you bought it from the carrier directly. With the T-Mobile phone I bought from them last year, they gave you a 30 day return policy with no penalty. And, from the moment they shipped the phone, I could deal directly with T-Mobile as if I had bought it from them. I saved a lot of money at the time. They were late shipping the phone and gave me a $50 discount and free overnight shipping because of it... can't beat that.
