I'm amazed at the story behind those phones. And I would have my own collection, but I always end up selling them. I'll just say I bricked 2 moments, and the og instinct has been the worst phone I've ever owned.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lepapirriky:
I wonder, since the 32gb its already sold out, will best buy do a "pre-order" for the 32gb version after the GS3 is release? Or they are not going to have the 32gb at all?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rodrigo87:
Would there be a toggle to turn on/off LTE?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Well there is a mobile data toggle I know of; as for LTE, I would hope so. If not, that's why we have custom roms. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ceelos09:
Anyone get a tracking invoice from Sprint yet? :rolleyes:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RawisTheGameHhH:
not yet; im sure when we do this thread will blow up!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
On the htc evo lte there was an option in mobile settings to use 3G + LTE or 3G alone. Not sure about the Samsung though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stevesprivateaccount:
Actually anyone can tag those posts, doesn't need to be a Sprint employee.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hyun1120:
Yes galaxy s3 has the same option.

dont remember where exactly, but you can select either CDMA or CDMA/LTE
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] brownmc77:
Monday would be such a blessing, As I cant wait much longer. Theirs only so much I can read and watch about the SGS3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Other users were saying that in the past they had received pre-ordered phone 2 days before the 'official' release, others saying they had them before they were issued tracking numbers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ind3lible:
What about best buy pre orders. Anyone pre order from there before and got them early?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
I believe I saw some users who pre-ordered from bestbuy in the past, and they said they got it generally a day or two early, or at the latest ON release day; not shipping on release day then getting it like two days after the fact.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lse4:
Just pre ordered a 16gb pebble blue version since the 32 go was sold out and I'm going to order me 64 gb micro sd card :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ind3lible:
Sweet! Thanks man hopefully its 4 more days then of waiting!! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragonforce11:
Hopefully they come in on Tuesday, as I'm leaving after that, from Wednesday - Friday, so if it's not in on Tuesday, I have to wait till Friday night to play with it...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] brembrad:
Ok all you shipping micromanagers,

I just got off the phone with Sales. If you wish to know when your phone ships, you need to get your " Order # " not your " Pre-order # ". Then every day now until you see "shipped" got to www.sprint.com/myorder and put in your order number. He said they start all ship outs at 4pm in Kentucky. SO instead of waiting on an e-mail which is only promised to come within 24 hours of shipping, check EVERYDAY after 4pm!!!!!

See what he said Kentucky so yea I need to know how to do a stock system dump for us when I get it first lol:p

I just got off of a chat window with customer service at Sprint and gave them my order # to check on the status and the rep told me my order was being processed at the wharehouse for shipment and to check back on monday for a tracking #. Hopefully it will be shipping out Monday :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Glod:
I hear knock on door and see fedex package on doorstep :confused: and i get super excited and think its my sprint phone, look at the label and its something the wife ordered online.

I feel very disappointed.....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] OneDeep:
I thought the phone was released on the 21st?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jmstansell:
It is scheduled to be released in the sprint stores on the 21st.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gingson:
I am hoping that fedex will not ask for signature! Gah.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Glod:
wth lolol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Anon9mouz:
I have ups deliver all my phone packages but I should have Monday I'm hoping but really I'm still content with my Gnex ESP with my Miui. Just like a new toy that's all lol:p

__________________________________________________
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Glod:
early pre-orders of recent sprint online store products usually come a couple days early before the stores carry it, with the obvious exception being what happened to the E4GLTE and Apple.

pretty much everyone right now that pre-ordered very early are hoping for a miracle that it will come as early as Monday.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
Does sprint ship FedEx? I thought they used ups almost exclusively.

Either way, it's up to the sender to require a signature and stunt usually does not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Yeah, you're right. Sprint does use UPS. Asurion uses FedEx.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gingson:
I hope you guys are right. I got my screen protector and a Sammy 32gb class 10 microsd. Oh yeah I am ready ready for my toy. Freeza no more VM leaks pls. ;-) lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aznmode:
I don't know what's worse waiting a month or this next few couple of days lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smontana16:
If you take your sprint account number and go to ups and click on track by reference put your account number in it will tell as soon as sprint creates a shipping label for your phone. Should be well before they email you a tracking number or their web site shows with your order number.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] brownmc77:
Well if they use UPS then, make sure you setup "UPS My Choice" It will at least give you a 4 hour delivery window with updated text alerts, unless you actually get a membership which will give you a 2 hour window for delivery.

https://wwwapps.ups.com/mcdp?loc=en_US&WT.svl=PNRO_L1

''To receive information about your inbound UPS shipments, choose one or all of the available alert types:

Day Before Delivery Reminder: We notify you the day before your package is to be delivered and, when available, provides you with a four-hour approximate delivery time

Morning of Delivery Alert: This alert is sent if the original delivery date or time of your package is delayed and a new delivery date or time is scheduled

Delivery Confirmation: This alert notifies you that your package has been delivered''
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smark72:
Don't you need a tracking number to initiate one of these alerts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smark72:
I hope this doesn't happen to us. Both Canada and Verizon has pushed their release dates forward a bit.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CoolTommy:
Maybe Samsung thinks Canada is expendable and is going to make sure to fulfill every order in the US...:P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mtwow789:
I have a question about GS3 for Sprint.

What kind of 4G does this have? LTE that doesn't exist yet or old WiMAX?

I currently have old Epic 4G and enjoying WiMAX right now.

3G in this area is still crappy so I am wondering if buying this phone would make me stuck at crappy 3G until LTE arrives?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dmchssc:
This is an LTE/3G phone. If you're content with Wimax and don't want to be stuck on 3g until Sprint upgrades your market, stick with the Epic for now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] qhinton:
Will Bestbuy preorders release early if sprint does?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Devtodi:
OMG, I hate it when that happens.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] || Acer ||:
You will be stuck on 3G until LTE arrives; it does not have WiMAX.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IRatchett:
They have in the past, cant remember what phone it was.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] antyx:
I preordered my 32gb PB from BB last Sunday the 10th...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tkemack:
Can I see some confirmation on that? Not trying to troll... It's just that everything I've read, including the sprint press release, says that the 32gb will be a sprint Web only exclusive.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Anon9mouz:
I second that

Seriously, go to IRC and ask warren, Decad3nce, or UberPenguin they'll know.

Although, everything I see says it needs to be rooted first. So, looks like you'll need to be repacking a kernel with SU first lol

Ensure that your computer has the most recent version of the Java Development Kit installed. If it doesn't, download and install the most recent JDK from Oracle's Java SE Downloads page.

Navigate to the Download the Android SDK page on the Android Developers website in a Web browser and download the installer package to your computer. Double-click the downloaded file and follow the installation prompts.

Navigate in Windows Explorer to the location where you installed the SDK. By default, this is C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk.

Double-click the SDK Manager to launch it. In the left pane file tree, check the box next to "Android SDK Platform-tools." Click "Install Packages." A confirmation window appears. Click the radio button next to "Accept All." Click "Install." A progress bar appears.

Press your phone's menu button from the Home screen. Tap "Settings." The Settings menu appears.

Tap "Applications." In the Application Settings menu, tap "Development."

Check the box next to "USB Debugging" in the Development menu.

So... where is everyone pre-ordering from again? Any suggestions?

I see some did from Best Buy... but what about Radioshack?

Any perks from doing it elsewhere?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ind3lible:
I pre ordered mine from best buy. This is my first time ever pre ordering.... a phone O.O. long as I get it by Wednesday I'm happy lols ! No Thursday is good too but the earlier the better :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chevyboxer:
Going to preorder from Best Buy tomorrow. I know I'm late to the party but my dog had to get sick so money was tight. I prefer Best Buy's customer service over every Sprint Store I've ever been in. Does help that I have a gift card. Also love being close to New Hampshire. No sales tax.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mercado79:
This is all very strange. Two Best Buys told me no 32gb for now at least. I've also asked antyx here in the thread and via pm and gotten no response. All we need is a sku number from the confirmation email and alot of us could use it to get our local best buy to put in the order for us too. So, yeah. Count me in the group of skeptics.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thelastgunslinger:
Yes, same here. I have asked three Best Buys in my area. I also tried what someone else said earlier in the thread, which was to ask if I could preorder the 16GB and then apply that to the 32GB if they received any on launch day. They told me they could not do that since they are different SKUs.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Glod:
You guys got me beat damn;), i thought I was bad with how frequently I got phones but i am nowhere close to this phone ownership leetness

I usually go through a phone every 6-10 months, not including the replacements i go through if the phone's build quality is ****

I do things like steal my wife's upgrade and then convince her that she didn't need it. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SemiGamer:
Oh don't worry I'm sure there's plenty like myself that are just reading this thread all day and not posting much ;) July 1st upgrade for me, can't wait!

Curious how others that bought the OG epic are upgradable on June 1st? I too got mine on Aug 31st but upgrade is July instead :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stonew5082:
so when sprint shows 4g coverage in my area on a map that means wimax? Not lte? The map also says we only get unlimited data when its 4g and only 5 gigs for 3g.

http://shop2.sprint.com/en/stores/popups/4G_coverage_popup.shtml

type in your info and you'll see the 5 gig 3g limit
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ricocollege:
It's because so many people wasted their upgrades on the EVO LTE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] auau465121:
i am the same way lol my wife is going to freak when she finds out i got a new phone i can hear it now "U JUST GOT A NEW PHONE IN DECEMBER" LOL i will make it up with a great birthday gift for her :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Anon9mouz:
Its always been a 5 gb cap on 3g u can go over just not all the time that's all

__________________________________________________
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stonew5082:
yeah but my point is people keep saying there's no lte for sprint yet right? So no one will get 4g until next year? or is that incorrect? because its not a wimax phone we'll all have a 5 gig cap till they roll out lte. or did I miss something. I'm not familiar with sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aznmode:
Nice. I do like the white too but man I don't want anyone asking me if its the new iPhone or something. All my friends are isheeps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aznmode:
This will be my first Sammy. Will all my game data be stored in the internal sd? I only ordered the 16gb and hoping to utilize the micro sd card for additional game data. Or atleast have an option to transfer to external sd.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
Hey!!! I have an iPhone (a white one nonetheless) and I am no isheep! lol

Anyhoo, the blue looked kinda boring to me, plus I like the way the capacitive buttons blend into the white background.

This will be Sammy number 3 for me, I only hope it doesn't have the radio issues that plagued both the Epic 4G and NS4G.

I figured I can never have too much storage space so I went with the 32GB. I have a 32GB sd as well plus ~ 80GB of online storage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gavin18t:
Put my order in for the white Sammy with 16gb today. Hopefully it will be enough, and if not I can always upgraded.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr Ian B:
Currently have my htc evo lte on hand and preordered the GS3. Sold my epic touch4g to get the evo. Preordered yesterday and will check the pentile display when I get the GS3 phone to determine which one I will keep.

Hope that Speint website spec that comes with a 32gb micro sd card is true.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MARIO SHARK:
Really?? now i'm contemplating whether i should get the evo 4g lte or galaxy s3. my mom has the galaxy s2, and she loves it, but i kinda find touchwiz boring. i definitely like sense more, but do u still think the galaxy s3 is better to get?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jfin79:
Best buy is selling the sg3 got $199 then when you pick up and purchase the sg3 you get a $50 gift card do the phone actually costs $150 through best buy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sonarchist:
spoke to a Sprint rep at the online sales support unit earlier today:

"at the moment individual devices are scheduled to begin shipping on June 21st, w/ a limited number of units made available directly at the stores on that date...........priority will go to pre-order clients first, then secondly to the limited supply available at the stores."

She went on to say that pre-orders are not placed in a queue, as it were, but put out for shipping en-mass the moment the units are available at the warehouse (presumably on June 21st), w/ priority being given certain geographic areas over others...........the rep was not willing to elaborate more details on what geographic areas would be first in line for shipping.

Of course, barring tomorrow's (06/07) court decision for Apple's injunction against the distribution of sgsiii within US borders --Q: will it stand?-- hopefully these shananigans are ironed out muy pronto, + shipping may go as planned.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
The EVO is a sweet phone and I honestly can't say which will be better which I why I'm buying the s3. I'll decide which I want after giving both a shot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LilRico:
Pre ordered a white and blue 32 gig! I can't wait! I'm upgrading two ET4G!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Killa357:
Haha wow, I just bought a 32 gig Samsung class 10 for $30 last week. Geez, the timing for that was a bit off (unless this is a typo.) Oh well, always good to have a backup. In the mean time I will add it to my 32 gig TF201 which already has my old 32 gig micro SD in it. Load it up with some movies or something.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aznmode:
Man u guys are making me wanna switch my preorder to 32gb lol. Hmmm. Is it too late? Also fyi sprint charges $35 restock fee if you exchange even for a different color but that's prob once you open it.

Call'em..........sprint web-sales support would likely change it for you over the phone.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jfenton57:
Do you still have to pay the $199 plus the upgrade "rebate" in full and then send the rebate in and wait a few months for it to be credited to your account?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RawisTheGameHhH:
i saw no point in getting the 32GB phone since the phone has a micro SD card slot and i already have a 32GB card in my E4GT
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
I hear that Sprint online will be the only source of 32GB edition. I'm hoping that's false, but it sounds like it'd be accurate.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sonarchist:
Nope. The warehouse will ship all pre-orders on June 21st, en-mass.........NOT in the order of 'first-come-first-served' process, at least that's what the rep at web-sales support told me yesterday.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stonew5082:
well my download speeds on my htc sensation (tmobile) are very fast, but because the phone's processor sucks it doesn't matter. so I'm hoping the gs3 will make up for data slowness by processing faster. Hope I'm not wrong. I mean the phone itself and the stability of the network play a big part. even 3 mbps is fast with wifi, but cell data is shaky. I hope the gs3 has advanced radio technology to improve stability.
