[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Swayyy:
Due to overwhelming demand and limited supply for Sprint’s Samsung Galaxy S III, we are running a little behind on deliveries. The 16GB version of Samsung Galaxy S III device will be available in Web Sales and Telesales (1-800-SPRINT1) beginning on Thursday, June 21. It will be in all remaining sales channels next week.

We are optimistic that we’ll be shipping all Samsung Galaxy S III-16GB pre-orders this week and that they will be delivered by June 21 as anticipated. There is a chance, however, that we may be a day or two late. We anticipate shipping all Samsung Galaxy S III-32GB pre-orders next week. To check the status of your pre-order, please visit www.sprint.com/myorder.

I wonder if all the 32GB models are in a delay or if there were any in the first couple of days of the pre ordering and they just ran out. I ordered the 32GB on 6/5 like many others i'm sure

Damnit, people are already on it...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dtr145r:
Well That's just ****ty
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pathtologos:
Lmao...too funny!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TeamERA:
I wonder if Sprint ever got the 32gb version to begi. with, since it was supposed to be an exclusive. Maybe they were never made, or the 16's were to be finished first. If that's not the case, and they did have the 32gb's ready for a 21st release, some of the pre orders should get theirs.

Its very possible that even Samsung didn't make as many as they should have at first not knowing how well it was going to sell in the fist month, let alone pre order.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gavin18t:
Glad I order mine yesterday for same week delivery :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Anon9mouz:
Well ima bout to ***** sprint out for some credit just to help out on a bill or something or some free accessories like mhl adapter or something otterbox. This is unprofessional but like I said I'll be good I'm still rocking a love phone just made I can't have my new toy yet its like being a kid a week before Christmas omg such argh:p

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zanderman112:
Hehe, and I get to sit back and watch as I wait till July 1st ;)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
im sure sprint is grateful to us for loaning them millions of dollars thou ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TeamERA:
You actuay lucked out, even though you have to wait, you didn't have to get dissapointed like me,,,,, why did I go PB 32gb lol

That's like the hardest to get phone right now :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gavin18t:
It means your a looser ;)...jk well I'm trying to say I'm glad i didn't pre order when it was first available because it seems like we all will get it the same time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
you're .......

a loser even?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thomaschila:
I'm kind of glad I stuck with the 16GB version. Can't wait to get off this Nexus S. It's sooooooo slow...

Im glad I ordered the 16gb, hope I get on Thursday.

Where's the iconic Ashton Kutcher when you need him? :rolleyes:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Quit whining about you nexus; I [and a few others in here] are coming from an Evo 4G. :p

And I too am glad I ordered the 16gb version....bring on Wednesday or Thursday.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pathtologos:
+1 on this question. Thoughts, opinions. I may just call bb and ask.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gavin18t:
does your butt hurt now?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] onilink67:
This honestly is what I'm annoyed about I've pre-ordered with both T-Mobile and Verizon and neither have charged you till your device ships. If sprint did the same I'd be dissapointed but not annoyed about this. O well another week with me OG Epic :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
if ever there was an epic fail ....... I think this qualifies
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CapsLockKey:
What a crock. For an extra 50 bucks you get your phone a week later? Looks like I get to hear my friend gloat to me all weekend with his 16GB. I wouldn't be upset if they hadn't charged me the full amount for the phone two weeks ago.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sekigah84:
"This week. "

Friday 5PM they will transmit the information to FedEx/UPS. Won't get picked up till Monday.

either that or it will ship Friday and sit in UPS/FedEx's hub over the weekend.

Guess only those who go to the events will get a first look this week before anyone else. I really hope they give them out at the event.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MARIO SHARK:
wow...never thought my thread would be so popular! you guys rule!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TeamERA:
Did we have a choice lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
;)

not too shabby n00b ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] brembrad:
Ok, I understand how to read the announcement, but regardless of how many of EITHER size ordered, why wasn't the allotted amount delivered on time?? I would think a more appropriate announcement would be, "For those that ordered on 6-5 you should receive yours by the 21st, for those that waited, sorry, yours may be delayed till next week.......lol......(I ordered 32gb on 6-5) In other words, who cares how many more than expected were pre-ordered someone should be able to get phone on time...........
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MARIO SHARK:
haha i guess not :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] onilink67:
exactly ... I dunno sounding like they either aren't admitting to not receiving any 32gb models yet or have insufficient staffing at their shipping depot (in which case I'll give them the number to a temp agency)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sekigah84:
I ordered 3 32GB phones. I would like the interest on that loan I gave you Sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MARIO SHARK:
i currently have the evo 4g lte, and its awesome, but ive decided to switch to the galaxy s3 as originally planned. :) its time i make the switch to samsung, especially since i have the samsung smart TV and blu ray player. this is a good move right, or should i maybe stay with the EVO?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smark72:
Yeah, I don't understand. Did they not have ANY 32GB when they put the pre order up for it, and let everyone order one on the hopes that they would receive them on time to ship? They had to have some and you would think that some early pre orders would still be shipped this week.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
im sure they KNEW this would happen when they said the 32g pre-sale was SOLD OUT

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

i dont like to say NEVER, but I'll NEVER pre-order another phone from sprint like this ........ 50 bucks down for a gift card is one thing but this is retarded I could have sweat to death in a tent sleeping on concrete and enjoyed myself more :rolleyes:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gr33nd3vil:
well i ordered at 9am cst time on 6/5 an i have not seen one person have a tracking number for there 16gb versiom or 32. i ordered a 16gb white an not tracking yet... dear sprint go **** yourselfs for another botched launch.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thomaschila:
I had the EVO 4G before and I thought it ran smoother than my Nexus S. EVO 4G has horrible battery life though. lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shane6374:
We're like a pack of lemmings falling off a cliff.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
How do you screw up two flagship devices all within a month? Lol

First the evo lte now the galaxy s 3. Sprint is epic failing all over the place.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shook187:
Not sure what the hell having a blu ray and TV has anything to do with your choice of phones. But anyways Evo vs s3? The choice is up to you. I think both phones will be good and each will have positive and negatives ultimately I think they both will even out and both will deserve to be flagship devices.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RawisTheGameHhH:
i pre-ordered the 16GB as well and I don't expect a tracking number till next week; probably when they ship the 32GBs
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Lol, oh I assumed you meant galaxy. And I'm pushing 2 days on my evo <3. Gotta love me some undervolting, like. a. BOSS.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MARIO SHARK:
well because i have the samsung tv and samsung blu ray player, i can easily use the allshare cast feature. (its built in)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noobnl:
I ordered the 16 gb model and I will be working on it. For those who don't know me, I am part of CyanogenMod and it's division Team Epic. I maintain for the Sprint Galaxy S line.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] am1640:
I feel like I'm in the TMob/ATT threads. Why are Sprint, TMob, ATT getting all this hate for a botched launch instead of the real culprit here. Samsung. They've already delayed launch in one country and left the four carriers in the US in a lurch because no one really knows wtf or when they are getting their devices.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ind3lible:
Errr.. just called my best buy and they said they have them on order for the 21st but they might not get them this week.. wtf is this ****? Didn't pre order so I would have to wait another week to get it. 16gb btw O.o
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
Any chance for a touchwiz rom & kernel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] klownin816:
So... I just got off the phone with Order Support. And they told me that there is no delay? That I should expect my phone by Thursday. I ordered a 32gb.

I didn't mention anything about the blog post. So are they not aware of it?

Seriously... what is going on here? No memos being sent internally?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
Pretty much. And if that isn't the case that's a **** move and people have every right to be pissed off
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jsmcmahon89:
In other words..... for those that don't know him... this $h!* just got real!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noobnl:
Nope, ClockworkMod Recovery kernel only
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
lol 9 MILLION pre orders is pretty substantial to keep up with. :D

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

awww so disappointed andromeda rom with the kernel was sooo amazing and the battery life was beast.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Because it takes two. Samsung may be largely at fault but Sprint's terrible communication skills are to blame as well. Thy were playing the "geez I hope Samsung can make this happen on time" game then waits to pretty much the last minute when they know Samsung can't to inform us. Fail.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigriggy63:
THANK YOU!!!! FInally the voice of reason. I had almost the EXACT same post on the Sprint Forums, people saying how Sprint botched two launches....ummm....no. These are CLEARLY Manufacturers' mistakes, one that may end up costing Sammy in the long run. Lord knows crApple does one thing very well; have more than enought product available on launch days... COME ON SAMMY GET YOUR **** TOGETHER!!!!

Riggy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Magic Oreo:
happy i ordered mine as a 16gb.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Anon9mouz:
Yea ima need to get at u when yalls start for a deo base to start miui when China's ready :p

It seems like Tmobile AND Sprint found out at the last minute..I wonder if ATT is next to make their announcement.....I imagine that they would probably also follow suite.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
If the customer would like to select an alternate product or cancel the backordered item, transfer to Order Support.

Did that, talked to some dumbass zombie who spouted the company line, read from some pre-prepared script about how since it is pre-order we can't change anything...zombie prick...

so, those who spent the extra $50 for the 32gb get the big weenie ...what BS...cant even trade down to the 16gb ....

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RawisTheGameHhH:
att already pushed it back to next week too; 6/28
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tech7:
Is it really confirm that svdo on 3g works on s3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
Yes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Anon9mouz:
Yes omg read lol

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] benthe1:
You're correct. Sprint is given a number by Samsung how many units they can pre-order, then Sprint allows a certain number of pre-orders per variant. Sprint then shows how many pre-orders Samsung needs to fulfill, and Samsung says, "Oh ****, we messed up." DELAY everyone, DELAY!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TeamERA:
Yeah, I'm sure most of us are well aware of your work sir.............. I'll just say that was perfect engrish ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
i wish :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
yeah we didnt get punked we got ****ed

straight butt no lube
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Magic Oreo:
ouch.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
I'd still rather wait an extra week for the 32GB
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ranchosteve:
I got the 16gb white at best buy, will i be able to exhange and pay the difference for the 32gb?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
I think they need to upgrade all us 32er's to 64!! I'll wait a week for that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CapsLockKey:
....or Sprint actually got the orders fulfilled by Samsung, but their crappy logistics can't get them all out in time. Nobody knows but Sprint and Samsung, and if Sprint is willing to give themselves no wiggle room for error that's on them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
this ...... :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
well at least they should be some, at least, unofficial CM9 love by the time our 32's come in
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
again i wonder how VZW was smart enough to foresee this blunder and avoid it ....... dan hesse you're fired
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Magic Oreo:
I personally don't need, right now i'm fine with my 16gb sdcard on my Epic4G, i'm sure i'll be fine with some onboard memory + the 32gb sdcard i'll be getting soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
To each their own, I'll happily wait an extra week for the 32. If I didn't want/need the space I would've just ordered the 16.

On another note, I may go buy a GNEX today to bide my time while I wait- I'm kinda sick of this iPhone...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Anon9mouz:
Great then u can dl my linaro miui build when I get it up tonight :D

Double Checked - Surprise, different story!

Just got off the phone with Account Services cancelling my order. When asked why I told them about the delay that just appeared on the Community Forum. I was asked if I received and email or was anything posted on the sprint.com website. I responded no, why do you ask. The response was, in checking your order for the Pebble Blue 32 GB, I still show it being delivered on or before the 21st. Please hold while I check with my management team. 3 minute hold, came back and stated that I could cancel if I wanted to but Account Services Management Team knows nothing about a delay and that my order is scheduled for delivery on or before the 21st. Oh well, here we go again.......:confused::confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] am1640:
what they did wasn't any better they just picked a date 3 weeks out from the date Samsung claimed the phone would be released. that doesn't make them any smarter, it just proves they didn't know crap just like the other 3 carriers. Hard to say it's the carriers fault when they are all scrambling right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
I think verizon may have had an additional motive; for those of you that don't know, verizon has just changed their data plans. They did away with the old, and have some 'new' plan; I forget what they call it, but basically instead of paying payment plans, they just have options that include more device, but you still pay the data fees. That system goes into effect on 28 June, and with this being a major anticipated phone, with the 200$ on NEW contract, verizon stands to gain from a delayed launch, reeling in the customers on the new plan system.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigriggy63:
If Sprint didnt have their "logistics" together, dont you find it curious that Tmobile made a similar announcemnet on the same day? Not to mention, someone here commented that Verizon

"got it right", and anticipated this delay...My $$$ is on the fact that Big Red is notorious for their copious amounts of bloatware, and wanted to make sure that every single piece of annoying software was available on their version. lol

Riggy

" To make matters worse, there is no word on when the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 will start hitting retail stores. If it serves as any clue, though, our friends from Wirefly have informed us that the official release date is now scheduled for June 28th."

hmmmm not looking good for my best buy order.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Anon9mouz:
Everyone canceling orders what's the point in that **** unless u are going to a different carrier. I think its stupid just to try and order somewhere else or what get a better phone lol right:rolleyes:...just saying. Ima sit here with my popcorn, beer, a lil something to smoke and chill, like the rest of us are doing. Canceling is for sisses lol. Let's see how far that goes...

Why did I switch from 16 to the 32gb again? damn it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
16 gigs is still a huge upgrade from the Evo 4g! I will probably get a 32gb sd card though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gr33nd3vil:
someone better be telling the staff at sprint there staying late to fill orders or find some 6yr olds to get this **** done thats why Apple wins they have 6yr olds build there **** Samsung an Sprint take notes!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] p2flol:
Hmm, that sucks. I preordered within the first hour of it being up on the 5th I wish they would give it to people in order :\

You: I'm waiting on my galaxy s3 and when i look it up on sprint.com/myorder it says it has shipped since yesterday but there is no tracking number

Lori R.: I am showing sent to warehouse but no T# at this time

You: Do you know when it will ship out?

Lori R.: I do not I know it is launching on 6/21/12.

I really don't like the s3 so much now. When it comes I'm in no rush to open the box. My phone heart is broken.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jfenton57:
Come on folks you're sounding like a bunch of children!

Over on the Sprint forums lots are demanding a credit for the "interest" sprint made of holding their money for a month.

How many CENTS do you think that interest is these days on between $300 and $550? You couldn't even buy a soda with it :)

Take a deep breath now......
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ubigred:
I hope I'll get my phone reasonably soon, but I'm not gonna get angry if it's a little late. Seriously, the people getting HULK SMASH angry about this are the reason the "First World Problems" meme even exists You'll get your phones, people, be grateful you even had the money to get them.

Sent from my EPIC TOUCH!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] p2flol:
yep they say the 16gb should be there by thursday but the 32gb might be another week +
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aznmode:
16gb is a lot if it was left untouch but based on the international version you are left with about 11gb. I can only assume the U.S. version will be about the same. I game on my phone and Nova 3 data alone is 2gb so that leaves me with only 9gb and that doesnt include all the other gameloft and EA games. I dont play as many games as I used to but I'd rather be safe than sorry if the difference is only $50...well and a week delay lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Anon9mouz:
I think the best micro SD from what I been reading is Samsung with a transfer rate of 24mb that's love but they are pricy I might have to see how cheap I can get a 32 or 64gb from. Newegg, eBay, Amazon something and they are class 10 too
