No CM9

Well my big reason not to upgrade is that there is no CM9 for SG3 yet.

I'm more than happy to wait 3-6 months for a US quadcore phone and for there to be actual LTE coverage. I might even wait a year so there's actually GOOD LTE coverage.

But you guys are welcome to upgrade right away and brick a couple phones testing kernels :)

Even if I get an SGSIII (or whatever the flip it ends up being called) I will be hanging onto my E4GT so I have a keen interest in the continued development for the phone.

I'm a gadget whore so I totally understand moving on to the next best thing and who can blame Devs if they want to play with the new pretty in an effort to expand their development muscles and learn new stuff. So while I'll be keeping an eye on the SGSIII forum I won't be leaving this one.

You guys have become the equivalent of my techno-dysfunctional family (i.e. you're stuck with me) lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bulldog274:
I've been on a Sprint employee account for quite a while now. Generally they don't let employees have their upgrade on a certain phone until 100% of back orders are gone from normal consumers on that same phone. That's generally 3 weeks to 2 months after initial launch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rgregg504:
I'm keeping my ET4G until i buy an S3:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dev_man77:
I was just getting tired of the crap radio sammy shoved in this phone and battery life was... abysmal. But thanks to KOBRIDGE, half my problems are solved.

I was just getting bored with the E4GT so I figured I would rock an Evo LE until the S3 was released but.. Just by skimming through their threads I see nothing but complaining.

All this talk about HTC's superior "Build Quality" and fine machined frame

PHOOEY!! :p

cant wait hope its soon,i got the evo lte and sent it back barley much better
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bumsock:
No,but I'm not a fan of blue phones in general. But after seeing some video reviews of the phone, I actually wouldn't have a problem with the blue one in this case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zurginator:
I'm sticking with the S2, but if I was getting one it would depend on if the blue actually uses blue plastic.

I sand down my Samsung phones, giving them a matte soft-touch feel. Makes them feel very high-end and solid.

Blue its something new i wanna rock it ^^

On a brighter note the S3 is getting noobnl
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lawr0155:
Had they not taken my money until the phone ships I would have no complaints. Since they docked my money from my account half a month ago with the promise to be one of the first to get the phone I am mad at them. A person in two days can walk into any Best Buy, Sprint, Walmart, or any other retailer and buy the phone in 16gb. I personally am cancelling my pre-order now and just getting a 16gb. BTW your on XDA forums, telling people not to care so much about the newest big phone. I wouldn't tell a sneaker fan to chill out about the newest jordans, or a twighlight fan to not care about the last eclipse movie. People have interests, everyone is different, ours happens to be these phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peanut1596:
Sir, not trying to flame anyone here, but if you went to a really nice restaurant and ordered the best thing on the menu for you and your significant other, and it costs a ton of money, and they promised it would be in front of you in x amount of time, don't you think you'd get a little angry or dissatisfied to say the least? It's completely human to want something delivered when you are told to expect it. Especially when you paid 600 bucks for it.

If i went to a restaurant that fancy, I'd be classy enough to know they're the ones making the food and I'm supposed to be having fun with my date, not timing their service. But that's just me. I also know restaurants run out of popular things on a regular basis.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tahde:
I'm not disappointed one bit. I was just curious as to if there was a delay is all. My question got answered. And thank you to the person that answered. :)

ps why did some of you order the 32 gb over the 16

wont be long till we se a 100 gb media phone :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ReggieTee:
If being already charged is such a big issues, we all had the option of NOT preordering and just waiting until we can get it through the various channels. However, we all want to be first...

The preorder just reserves one for you when they are available to ship.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] K.0.0.L.:
bad news for all preorder. I chat with a sprint rep just a minute ago and she said we will get the phone sometime next week due to delay..... SUx, they can't never keep their promise.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] websterzx10r1:
As with all new releases on items that are wanted by many there will be delays. Supply and demand. The more that want said item the larger the profit gains for the maker.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zoidpilot:
Hm... Where in the email confirmation does it say we were guaranteed the phone by June 21? Mine vaguely states that they would " try our best to get it to you by June 21".

You can't expect everything to go so perfect with such high demand on this device, then be so sour when a slight hiccup only delays it for a week. Let's not forget we are lucky to get it at all this month considering what Apple was trying to appeal in court. I say those of you who pre ordered should have assessed exactly what they were getting into.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] K.0.0.L.:
No email stated but it was advertise and repeated by sprint sale department. Some rep even said a week before launch date. That's one of advantage of pre-order. Oh....well, I'll wait.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
This is exactly why I don't pre-order, no paying out in advance and then getting frustrated when shipping is delayed. I prefer to wait for it to show up in the store where I can buy it and walk out with it in my hand the same day.

Even the 32GB will eventually find its way into the stores.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] websterzx10r1:
That's how I would put it. I want this phone bad, but don't like waiting and being told it will be another week or two be4 I get it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gtuansdiamm:
Meh this news makes me feel a lil bit better

Knowing that other ppl will have delays too

I'm going to keep an eye out for StrongSteve's deodexed Rom for the S3. Chainfire also reported that the partitions on the S3 are much different than the S2 and recovery is not baked into the kernel.

I was excited to open my email untill I saw this

Thanks again for pre-ordering the new Samsung Galaxy S® III from Sprint.

Due to overwhelming demand for Galaxy S® III worldwide, Samsung has informed us they will not be able to deliver enough inventory for Sprint to fulfill pre-orders on June 21. We are working closely with Samsung on a delivery schedule and hope to begin shipping pre-orders for the 32GB version next week as we receive inventory. We apologize for any inconvenience. To check the status of your pre-order, please visit sprint.com/myorder.

Sprint will maintain the promise for the pre-order customers that they will be among the first to receive their Samsung Galaxy S® III phones. To access the latest news and device information, visit our Sprint Community where we will provide updates as soon as they are available.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
I bet they'll give out cases like with the delay of the evo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zoidpilot:
Just an update for those who care:

I went to a Sprint service center and they determined my USB port to be faulty. The phone does not charge. Now since the phone has not officially launched yet, there's not much they can do. Actually they can't do anything. I later called Sprint and they actually have the stock to send me another phone (16g). I will be getting a replacement in a few days.

Just a word of warning, I have searched around and found more than a few people reporting that their phones are not charging, and it is a known issue on the first wave of phones. CHECK TO MAKE SURE IT CHARGES FIRST. Any kind of sporadic charging, or if the phone constantly reboots while charging, send it back for a replacement (obviously). Good luck and enjoy your new phones guys !

Not sure if this has been linked before; the AT&T Infuse car dock will fit the Galaxy SIII as well! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1725013

Many of us bought this car dock along with the desk dock for our E4GTs. They were around $18 total several months ago when AT&T was closing them out. It might be worth checking the AT&T stores to see if they have any left.

If the car dock fits, I'm thinking that the other cases and accessories I have for my E4GT will fit as well. If so, that will surely influence my decision to jump on the Sprint or someone else's GS3 when my contract is up. :D
