There was an article on Android Central (I think) regarding the confirmation of Sprint, as well as the other big carriers. I'm pretty sure it's a sure bet Sprint will get it, just when and what variation of it remains to be seen.

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 AM ----------

White, definitely white. My E4Gt is black, which was the only option when I bought my phone at release, however black is also my goto color for phones. Always has been but a co-worker got a white iPhone and then I saw a white E4GT up close the other day which left me with a whole new appreciation for the white phone, so in lieu of a black SGSIII I'm definitely going with white.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Ha classic. Returned the HTC. Ilove it..I for one will never get an HTC again. I've had all of them.

They all died untimely deaths. Uugh. So I got a vibrant on Tmobile and never looked back..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I am shocked there's no black one. IF I return my GNex I guess I would choose white
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Wow I expected to see 20 posts from people getting the S3 by the time I got off of work since it has been talked about so much
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Because I'm still so happy with my E4GT and knowing that source is only going to make the available ROMs even better, I will bide my time and see how it plays out once the SGSIII is released. Then I'll read some user reviews, scour the internet for any information I can find and then go check it out in person before I make a final decision.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
You are being very smart about your decision. I am nervous about bad batches considering Sprint, Verizon, AT&T pre ordered 9 mil of them..allegedly
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tommydaniel:
The SPH-L710 is Sprint's GS3, it was confirmed in the Bluetooth sig.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Considering I have no upgrade so I'll be paying full price, I have to be smart even if I really, really want to be impulsive and buy on the first day (did that with the Pre eeks!). My rational side is constantly at war with my impulsive side where technology is concerned. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
Just a thought but can this thread be designated the "Sprint" S3 page or do we all have enough common sense for that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yokken:
wat

Why can't it be about the SGS3 in general? Why can't we talk about all possible revisions for all possible carriers allowing for all possible comparisons?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Yeah but the speeds of the internal sd are beyond class 10 speeds and integrated well. I'd pay that $50

That's vulgar lol took me a minute to figure out what it was
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
Kc, you're not waiting for the nexus?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
No, i want the s3. If I can be patient I might get the next nexus. Kansas City is suppose to be one of the first to get LTE but that doesn't appear to be happening yet. I barely use Wimax since it its slower than crap anyways. I am lucky most places i go have wifi.

To be honest I am on the fence. I loved the evo but the 3D was a big let down. The G nexus came out months ago so it would seem pointless now to get it. A new version is probably just a few months away. And the Evo Lte is nice. But the Samsung side seems better. Okay, maybe I am not on the fence.

So, it looks like I am waiting. The only LTE phone I am allowed to get now is the Viper. But, it is more like the Garden Snake.

galaxy s III chat room

irc://irc.freenode.net/#gs3-sprint
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
for those considering the evolte, here's some things i learned about which are turning me away from it:

1) the usb port is on the side of the phone that rests on the surface when the kickstand is out. absolutely stupid design flaw. wtf was htc thinking?

2) no hard menu button, so you're left with only soft menu buttons. with that said, sometimes you get two menu buttons on the screen -- 1 up top, and 1 on the bottom that takes up the entire bottom row. and sometimes you dont even get a soft menu button even though you know there should be one. another stupid design flaw! seriously, htc....

3) the back shiny plastic upper half collects finger prints like white on rice. not a biggie anyways since most people use covers for their phone anyways.

4) NFC is reported to interrupt the CDMA radio at times. users who have disabled NFC report better CDMA signal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Becoming:
Well, the only positive there is the kickstand does support orientation on either side, or even portrait mode.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
ooo i didn't know that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aaron130:
Also the devs have already mapped the recent apps button to be a menu button. I'm using it right now a.d it works great! I will say this phone is pretty awesome!! But I'm still getting the SGS3 too!!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Didact74:
Will the 64gb SDXC cards work in the new S III? Will they show space available and react the same as a SDHC card?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
So does anybody know how xda will handle the multiple versions of the us variants? will it be all 1 forum or will each carrier have its own development thread in one forum or why? im only asking this now because i dont want to almost screw my phone by flashing a rom from a differ carrier (like i almost did with this phone, thinking that this would be in the galaxy s2 forum)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ReggieTee:
This is why i'm hoping Best Buy gets the 32gb version by the time the phone reaches stores for pre-orders. They only showed 16gb in their system when I preordered. I don't think they knew there there are two versions. I'd rather have the 32gb on-board vs adding a bigger memory card.

---------- Post added at 06:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 AM ----------

The North American variants are the same, correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gtuansdiamm:
Different radios I guess

Which mean slightly different firmware
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fatboypup:
so I pre ordered today ...... Today's total

$277 .95

Taxes may vary

went for the blue 32 :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
32Gb versions will be exclusive to sprint Web sales, says so in the press release
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fatboypup:
Anyone seen this before?

Status:Your order requires some validations in order to complete processing. To expedite processing, please call 866-456-0575 between 8:00 a.m. EST to 11:00 p.m. EST Monday to Friday or 9:00 a.m. EST to 9:00 p.m. EST on Saturdays and Sundays.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Swayyy:
Looks like the phone comes with a 32GB Sd card dudes! We know the phone supports 64GB, So if this was stating support it would say 64GB... Under memory... Check it out!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fatboypup:
Nope look below where it says included in box, no card for you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nannuq:
Actually I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. There is a reason that it doesn't say 64gb. That is because it uses the SDHC standard not the SDXC standard. SDHC standard only officially supports up to 32 and is limited to maximum file sizes of 4 GB because of limitations in Fat32. The SDXC doesn't use Fat32 it instead uses NTFS file system and has a theoretical limit of 2 TB and I have no clue what the file size limit it. Edit: Maximum file size

As designed, the maximum NTFS file size is 16 EB (16 × 10246 bytes) minus 1 kB or 18,446,744,073,709,550,592 bytes. As implemented, the maximum NTFS file size is 16 TB minus 64 kB or 17,592,185,978,880 bytes

To use the 64GB and large SDXC cards one must reformat the card to the fat32 file system.

I am no genius so I could have some of my information wrong but that is the way I have understood the situation to be in regards to the microSD cards.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fatboypup:
So i called in to sprint about my order she asked me a few security questions and about my address change then processed my order.

Status:Thanks for pre-ordering. You are one step closer to getting your phone. Keep an eye out for a shipping email with your tracking information. We will do our best to get it to you before others get a glimpse on Thursday, June 21. For questions, visit sprint.com/preorder.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jaaka78:
The hardware is superior all around, but for me the deciding factor was lte. I live in Atlanta so i know it will be here soon. I would base your decision on if you currently get wiimax, if you're happy with it, and how long it will be before lte rolls out in your area.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cjtaurus18:
One question, Is the Sprint Version of SGS3 is a world phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ind3lible:

There are sources saying that the S3 will use SDXC no problem. This is one that i found on a quick Google search...

So this guy named Dan Levine, a legal reporter for Reuters is at the courthouse with the Apple/Samsung case today. I found his tweet on Florian Mueller's (with Fosspatents - guy who wrote the story about the case to begin with) Twitter feed.

Dan: "Signed on at Apple/Samsung hearing, on Apple bid to shut down U.S. sales of Galaxy phones. Lots of Google lawyers here"

"I'll bet every Samsung atty can tell the diff btwn an iPhone and Galaxy from 100 yards, after the last hearing with Judge Koh"

This might give us first word if the GS3 is delayed... following him on Twitter.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nannuq:
The sdxc will work if reformatted for sure. If the S3 has uses sdxc cards by default that would be awesome. I don't personally know my previous post was just to state why the specs might only state 32gb.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
Hey, I am about to say F it. I have two questions.

Has anyone preordered an S3 and paid the full price through sprint? I looked at the website and there is no option I saw for off contract.

Will I be blocked from activating the phone on an employee account? I was told that before but it was BS. I bought the OG Evo and it turned on just fine when they were still getting blocked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] archtech3d:
I signed on to check specs... specifically the rumor about the included SD card... and it allowed me to add a full-priced one to cart. I don't see why you can't buy one off contract...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I talked to Best Buy. They will price match the preorder of the S3. The only down fall is I will have to wait to get it when it comes out. They won't be mailing them days in advance to my house. The positive is 18 months no interest financing.

But, if I have to wait until it comes out to pick it up I might as well wait until then to buy it too. This might be a good thing. Sprint is having a press conference on Tuesday to announce the S3. Hopefully they give us some details on when the switch is being flipped on LTE.

I might be holding off for another phone anyways. I am so freaking indecisive. That SPH-L300 would be nice if it is coming sooner than later. If it is truly the same processor with a smaller screen it might be all I want. I am 6'1 and the Epic Touch hurts my hands holding it sometimes. I can't get use to holding something so thick.......that's what she said.

Will it be that much different than what we have now? Isn't the problem always the different radio on Sprint?

I'm new to Android phones on Sprint, and actually i've always had the developer phones - which is why I'm tempted to go with Nexus, or the next Google phone..

I mean, we have great dev support, but what I would want is AOSP roms like CM, which we are just getting now. Do we see that changing for the S3 on Sprint?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dev_man77:
I had the EVO LTE for almost a week. It did run hot, and SENSE was just really annoying, didnt have much light leakage, and I am not sure about bent phones?

Anyway I can assure you that it has one of the strongest radios I haver ever seen. I was able to hold phonecalls indoors where I normally couldnt, same with the 3G service still picked up where I would normally switch into roaming. It has an awesome radio. I hope we get the same, But I doubt it since HTC designed their antenna into the backplate.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
any poor radio occurances are most likely due to NFC interfering with the radio. those who turn off NFC dont experience radio problems. the only reported bent phone was from one person who had it in their pocket, most likely sat on it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chconser:
Bought the LTE for my bride, had it for a week now. I can personally attest that the GPS on that phone bests my OG Evo, Evo 3D, & flat spanks (duh) my Epic Touch. Longest it's taken to get a lock after a couple dozen tries was 4 seconds & it's been accurate to within 6 feet. It's very good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dev_man77:
I did turn NFC off, so maybe that was it. Also there isnt really an option to "Turn 4G off" You gotta go under mobile networks and check CDMA only. The CDMA+LTE option will constantly scan for LTE and drain battery.

The GPS took a while to get the very first lock probably because I was moving and was using it for the first time but after that it was really good. On GPS test I got an accuracy down to 4 feet inside my house, whereas on my E4GT the most I have ever gotten inside was like 14 feet or so. I was able to lock onto more satellites and got a stronger connection (some of that could be the time of day/cloud coverage) but I do believe the GPS was worlds better.

If it seals the deal, the 3G/4G data should be a lot better because it's now made by the same company as Snapdragon. The SoC all works very well together, because they're designed to be together.

Is there any chance that the sprint version will get the s4 pro chip? I'm not too impressed by the adreno 225 found in the current s4 (in the evo lte). The quad exynos has a gpu thats twice the speed. The adreno 320 in the s4 pro would be great!
