Since we are just waiting, I have a Samsung-noob question.

Does anyone have a sense for if/how the different hardware between the U.S. and international versions will affect ROM, rooting, etc? Ditto for the different carriers? I'm assuming the radios will be specific to carrier, but the ROMs and such aren't. I just don't know enough about mobile hardware/android abstraction to know if I need to be worried about dev support for the U.S. hardware/version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] biglos201:
I'm sure this question has been answered but does Netflix work well?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smark72:
Don't get the zagg. I just ordered 8 of these for different phones for half the price of one zagg. I put one on and they seem just as good as zagg, with no orange peel effect. I have always used zagg in the past but they are over priced. You can order extras of these for back ups. I am not sure if they are still running the 75% off total purchase.

As an Evo OG refugee, I am looking for a good case that includes a kickstand. Any suggestions? I've been a fan of Seidio gear in the past, but I don't see any SGS3 specific stuff from those kraut bastards yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] biglos201:
Thanks for this! I'm so happy with cases by platinum for my old evo but it seems like they haven't made any for the gs3 yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Killa357:
You do know that was probably a person contracted out by sprint right? I don't know of any of these services that actually uses bots. I had to work a click to chat program for AT&T for about 8 months. They are required to have perfect grammar and prompt responses. They usually don't know any more about your question than you do, they just look it up on the site. These people are there to think for those who aren't capable of doing it themselves. Most of the responses they may give will seem pre-typed because they are. When you do 50 to 100 chats a day and have people asking the exact same questions, you prepare for it. These are called canned responses. It makes the job a hell of a lot easier, especially when you have to deal with people who come in and ask stupid questions.

It's a tpu life for me I've got a Chinese S line one now and three cruzerlites on the way
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] p0rkguy:
Good enough proof?

Austin F.: Thank you for contacting Sprint. I am happy to help you. Please give me a moment to take a look at your account.

Austin F.: Let's move this chat and make it a window of its own. It will enable you to view other Web pages while we chat.

Simply click the white Yes button below now.

Austin F.: Thanks for moving the chat window.

Austin F.: Hello Kevin

Austin F.: It usually take 3-5 business days for the shipment of the phones from the order date.

You: Then the Galaxy S3 won't be here on time?

Austin F.: We are putting efforts to ship the phone on the expected date which is June 21st.

You: Will it be overnight air?

Austin F.: If you have chosen overnight shipment then it will be delivered in 24 hours.

You: Was there a choice for overnight shipment?

You: Quick question, 4R3 Y0V 4VT0/\/\4T3D?

Austin F.: Yes, there are two modes of shipment. One is the overnight & other is the usual/general mode.

Austin F.: Is this the order number?

You: No, but you're clearly a bot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IRatchett:
hahaha
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
He just got told off by a bot.

Why is this funny?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] p0rkguy:
I'm still going so I'm gonna keep trolling this bot til it crashes or until I can get some real genuine responses.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Killa357:
That is in no way proof of a bot... All it is proof of is canned responses. They hit a hot key and a pre-typed message is pasted into the chat. This allows them to talk to as many as three people at once without missing a beat. All you're doing is annoying the hell out of some poor bastard making minimum wage. It took me a minute looking at that jumbled mess you threw up on there to determine what it said. They don't have time to sit there and figure out what you are jabbering about, so he asked you what it was.

---------- Post added at 04:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 AM ----------

I don't think you understand, if they even know when the device is shipping or if it isn't even in Sprint's warehouse yet, they cannot tell you. That would get them fired. Why are you so determined to annoy the hell out of these people? Have you nothing better to do with your time? I came to this thread looking for information about the pre-orders. All I see is trolling.

Anyone buying an extended battery? Best Buy or somewhere online?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] p0rkguy:
I've seen these "people" do a lot more than just this inquiry. I'm positive they can pull up some sort of information from other departments.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shane6374:
I go with zagg because I get the shields installed for me. Never had to get one replaced yet through my last 4 phones.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jahspree:
Most likely they will have what they have at every launch. Nothing special, a few platinum cases, zagg shields, a few gel generic cases, MAYBE some otterboxes and that's about it. The desktop chargers and other accessories will come later.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] matrixzone5:
I preordered around 5 days ago ish june 12th i think got it for my birthday had my parents pay for the other half of it with my upgrade :y haha i ordered directly from sprint store.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sekigah84:
I'm actually curious about that. Anyone know of any place that will have the MHL adapter in stock? Not sure if Sprint gets them on launch day. I'm going to be really ticked off if I go to a Sprint store and get a phone before one comes in.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
Absolutely not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sleestax:
Gah, more waiting. I am going to need a good car mount ASAP that allows the phone to sit in landscape mode when driving (for GPS ....and netflix, heh).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] worldwidepmp:
I canceled my BB pre order and went with Wirefly. I couldn't pass up $70 off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gtuansdiamm:
Better change my face back to what it was before
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jahspree:
Just as a suggestion, you should of kept the BB preorder at least as a back up. After the EVO LTE fiasco, I was able to get my EVO the same as those who pre ordered with sprint. While a lot of people had to wait an extra week. Now if you don't kind waiting by all means go head with wirefly. I myself am not that patient.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] worldwidepmp:
Yeah, I'm an old head by XDA standards, I've been waiting this long, I can wait a few more days.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jahspree:
Hey man I understand, ain't nothing wrong with that. But I will be at best buy at 9am Thursday.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crzy619:
Went home on lunch today, saw a note from UPS!!! WHOLLY HELL! No way...So I call and they tell me I gotta wait till the driver drops the package off at the warehouse before I can pick it up sometime around 7pm PST... Ok no prob... Hours go by and i'm freaking out at work. Ah I gotta get to ups. Get off and drive 15 mins to the ups. Crazy line ahh, 11 mins go by. Im pacing in line lol Ok, I'm at the front. Yes! "Ok here is my id, please hurry I'm excited" (hands me package) hmm seems lite. ah screw it, rip it open!!! Wth?! Damn it! Just my cases :( who sends cases ups?! Sad panda :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jayharper08:
Let's drop the "trolling the bot" conversation. All that's going to do is cause drama. Keep it peaceful in here ladies and gents......
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
Don't forget about the ladies. Not that I am one buy I'm sure there has gotta be at least one in here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jayharper08:
Whatchu' talkin' bout Willis?! ;)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jmstansell:
I'm not sure if anyone in here has seen this yet, but this Pebble Blue T-Mobile Galaxy S3 looks great this review and it does come in the "blue box" that everyone was talking about also.

A lot of people were referencing the black box Metallic Blue unboxing in the German review on youtube in fears that it was replacing the the Pebble Blue.

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/ht...018465206_review_samsung_galaxy_s_iii_th.html

This waiting is killing me, but the wait will be worth the reward when it is finally is here. Come on Sprint get it together!!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gtuansdiamm:
Why are you trolling me

I has to wait even more than most of the people here

Jk jk

But yeah I mean it could be weeks before I see a gs3 in the mail
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MARIO SHARK:
is there going to be a forum for the sprint version? and can we flash these ROMs or are they not compatible?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jahspree:
Yes we will. There was a post a few pages back stating that we would soon. I'm about 98% sure these roms will not be compatible with our version of gs3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sonarchist:
CM9_Nightlies for GS3 have begun rolling:

http://cm9log.appspot.com/?device=epicmtd

a CM9_RC1 for the SPH-L710 in the forseeable future! :D :D :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jmstansell:
Yes, the Aliens and Bigfoot!

Hope you don't mind, I used one for my avatar for now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TeamERA:
Is Jay getting a sgs3 also ??? :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gtuansdiamm:
Lets hope
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TeamERA:
Yeah, he has been a great level headed moderator that's for sure ;) I like Jay's style also!

Yes it does.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bueller213:
whats SVDO?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
I think one rom should work across all US versions. And porting international roms will be easy, basically just changing the cpu drivers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TeamERA:
For the most part your probably right since the radio won't be flashed. But you need to think, some apps won't work, and the framework may be diff, images, locations, names maybe.

I'm probably forgetting other things like network settings. I was going to try this also for porting reasons, only time will tell.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
Bottom line is it should be easy enough for a lot of cross- development
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
Only thing UPS indicated that was scheduled for delivery for me today is my sdxc... Maybe tomorrow
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gingson:
Depending on how reliable the Sprint website is, the release date hasn't changed. It is still the 21st. We might still see our phones tomorrow or Thursday.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stevesprivateaccount:
Still not showing up as a new device under my devices (nor is my new line of service), so I'm guessing today won't be the day for me either! Oh well, back to watching people pass out in the Denver heatwave

Still backordered this morning on the 19th. Whoever said they were shipping on the 18th was full of crap.

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/ht...018465206_review_samsung_galaxy_s_iii_th.html
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RawisTheGameHhH:
its really hard to believe anyone when they say its shipping on this day; if we dont have it thursday then we have issues
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
id like to make a wager than we wont have them on the 21st :mad:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kegacide:
no changes from yesterday...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
That made me LOL so hard, because I do a fair amount of flying and you have no idea how much that site angers me. And plus the neon green color just does something to the message.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MadFlava:
I preordered at Best Buy last night and theyre still showing the 21st. I would really hope if they are going to delay, it would have been announced before now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
That's what I want to believe as well. Take canada for example, they were delayed, but they gave the notice a week notice, not 2 days out. I still feel they will launch on time, we're all just becoming paranoid and neurotic about the wait.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stevesprivateaccount:
Because Best Buy has such a great reputation on webstore sales? Oh how soon we forget the BestBuy ruined Christmas of 2011.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] faisalsadaf:
Tracking #

Looks like someone got a tracking # for their S3, on the Sprint forum. Can't post link; noob here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RawisTheGameHhH:
i saw that as well; however it was their first post; until i see a tracking number or screenshot it means nothing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rgregg504:
Yeah and then he said he'll post a screenshot in a few which is code for let me Photoshop that for ya
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] archtech3d:
I think you are right. They would have told us about the delay by now if there was one. Also, Sprint bots/cust service wouldn't be confirming that the backorder status is a glitch with the site... yada yada... I'm very confident we will start seeing our phones tomorrow or Thursday. Just the fact that they originally were stating that we would get a glimpse before others on the 21st - still gives me hope for tomorrow. :p

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

He says he will post a screenshot in "a few." I hope he's not Photoshopin' at the moment.

I'm just hoping Apple doesn't get the release delayed...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ceelos09:
I heard a few people who had pre-ordered the GNexus got theirs about a week before the public release. I'm hope I'm not being too hopeful, but that's what I'm expecting to happen :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] onilink67:
My dad pre-ordered the galaxy nexus and was one of the first to get it according to reports on xda. It was 2 days before release so on Friday instead of the Sunday release date which makes sense since they wouldn't pay for sat/sun delivery I'm sure. Not trying to get hopes up I'd love to get this early too ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deathpulse:
Hello everyone! I can't wait for this to be released. I will be switching from AT&T with a Samsung Galaxy Note to this - I can no longer stand the "data cap" on AT&T!!!! I can't wait for data "FREEEDOM"!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmJTcyqiZ44
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aznmode:
The only problem is you might have to settle for 3g only for a while till you get LTE in your area.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deathpulse:
3g is faster than NoG. If I get one more call about how much data I use or that I am tethering and it is not allowed on my contract I think I may explode. AT&T = crap. And I'm not sure but I think Jersey City may already have 4g? It seems to say so on Sprints site....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] onilink67:
probably WiMax 4g since Sprint LTE isn't like yet a few test sites are up but they aren't allowing people to connect to them yet
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deathpulse:
OH well 3g it is for me! In all honesty I probably don't need anything faster but we shall see. I have no idea how AT&T is going to keep its customer base over the next year or so. With the new Sprint phones allowing unlimited data and voice/data at the same time, the only benefit I see AT&T has is the ability to travel internationally a bit better (which most people never need). I have a BUNCH of friends/fam that are going to switch to Sprint this year.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ceelos09:
2 days early is STILL 2 days early :)

As long as I get it before the 21st, I'll be good. Patience is really not playing too well for me at this point, is all :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
I'm hoping they'll say eff it and send it out early just in case Apple wins
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] onilink67:
I agree was just pointing out I wouldn't expect something like a week early
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Devtodi:
What's gonna happen when it arrives and I am not at home? Will they leave it? Will I need to sign a release?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cashyftw:
I usually just leave a note on the door stating to "please leave the package at the door, thanks!" Then sign it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Vertig0:
Get ready for unlimited really sloooooooooooow 3G!

I retract my previous statement..my invoice was for 250.63, but they hit my account for 296.40. :eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
Sprint doesn't usually send their phones with signatures required for delivery. Depending on where you live I'd say it will ba a judgement call on the part of the ups driver.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] OneDeep:
I'm thinking about ordering this but my contract not up until 12-31 have any one paid the early upgrade fee?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
Upgrade fee will be around $115 for you since it's that far off. They'll only do it if you claim you're about to upgrade at a Sprint store.

EDIT: Anyone have a full in-depth spec list for Sprint GS3?

EDIT2: I managed to find this. http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-Sprint_id7099/fullspecs

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] durbansmok:
I ordered mine on the morning of the 5th and I just got this in the mail. I don't like the looks of it, anybody else get this? BTW, the SIII is the only order I've made from Sprint recently, and for some reason, it shows a FW##### for the order?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RawisTheGameHhH:
i just emailed dan@sprint.com; maybe i will get an actual human response; but im sure it will be a canned response
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coreyzw:
I got this as well. Ordered mine literally 3 minutes after they went up for pre-order. I called the number on the card and they said that it was to let me know that the phones were in the process of shipping and there was no backorder, but that their system saw a delay in the porting of the phone numbers from Tmob to Sprint and so they sent that card out and had nothing to do with the phone itself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kegacide:
that came in the mail??? means it was sent out a few days ago, why no national announcement if they know there will be a delay??
