I just looked at the Radio Shack website and they are selling the Epic for $249.00 with new contract / contract extension. Nothing about mail-in rebate. Looks like $249.00 (+tax) out the door. They are also taking pre-orders that will ship on the 31st.

Best Buy is currently updating their website...I bet a similar offer will be there when it comes back up.
