yeah I was going bonkers I was like theres the tmo and vzw wtf happened to our thread :eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aznmode:
Woot! Finally!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
I just like to keep it simple. I like to run and carrying a second device is a pain. In addition, I don't carry a purse so while at work I would end up with an iPod on one pocket and a device in my othe pocket that easily replaces an iPod. No thanks, I'll stick with one device with more storage.

In the end, I'm not here to tell anyone else what they need from a device, just stating what works for my needs and why. If 16 is all you need then more power to you and enjoy the $50 savings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Devtodi:
Unless you shoot a ton of video, what could you possibly use 32GB for? My Epic only has one. 16 will be tons for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pathtologos:
For the best buy preorder people: just got off phone with them (called the toll free number in my email confirmation for my preorder). Lady sounded knowledgeable. Said there is a delay for best buy preorders and she didn't have any update as to when my store would receive them. Bummed out. Btw, for those of you who purchased a device recently and want to exchange it for an s3, you've only got 14 days unless you're gonna exchange it for the same device. That was told to me both in the store and over the phone. That gives me till saturday...dammit. ill have to return and hook up my ****ty backup until my preorder comes in. And I KNOW that may take a while. I'm gonna go cry now like a little girl.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] worldwidepmp:
You're a chick?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] palecat:
Yep, talked to a local rep and all they could say was that they didn't have any but the launch was tomorrow so "hopefully later this evening or tomorrow" or I have no idea. :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] G3noobie:
I ordered from BB and on the paper they gave me they state, "In the event preorder availability changes, Best Buy will notify you." So is BB going to drop the ball and not inform me of this change until tomorrow?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
im soooooooo tempted to call and tell them to change my order to a 16gb
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pathtologos:
This your first time dealing with them, huh? They've screwed me that way b4. I ordered from them for the $50 credit. Should've known better.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
Damn you $50 gift cards!!! Thats why I went with BB as well lol That and it was faster/easier to trade in my GSM Nexus for more store Value.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xtrezpasor:
I also went to best buy bc I think there phone insurance plan at 9.99 and no deductible is better then sprints now that sprint raised the price to 11 a month and a 200 dollar deductible unless I misunderstood...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
Lol, no! I'm saying That because I don't carry a purse so carrying two devices makes even less sense.

Tracking info: Received tracking # around noon eastern today. UPS 2nd day air. According to UPS maps for Atlanta, I should arrive by COB Thursday.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Kutthoat5150:
doesn't 2nd day air mean the phone will start shipping today, tomorrow, and arrive on Friday?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RawisTheGameHhH:
yes but same places are within 1 day of ground shipping; so id imagine it wont take 2 days to get to someone when it would take 1 day via ground; guaranteed by the 2nd day; once UPS actually scans it the estimated delivery date will appear!!!

Gotcha. Lol!

Just stopping in to let everybody know that Radio Shack is saying they are trying to get pre-order inventory to stores by June 28th, but could be as late as July 6. Probably doesn't affect most of you, but just shows the issues they are having with supply
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smark72:
This may be a dumb question but why can I not see the thread in the general section anymore? I can find it only when I click on topics that I have subscribed to. Using xda app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] creamcityjw:
Pre-ordering from Radio Shack is basically saying "I'm so excited to get this new phone that I'm going to wait two weeks longer than everyone else!" Even people who don't camp out for the store releases will probably get them before July 6th...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aznmode:
I thought about this too when they announced the delay but I was afraid it will get delayed same time as the 32 model since technically that order change would put me in the back of the line. Possibly even later than the 32gb. Wasnt worth is as there is no guarantee when you will get it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RawisTheGameHhH:
they created carrier forums; we got moved into the Sprint forum
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sekigah84:
Getting some topics set up in Q+A lol

I'm so jumping the gun without a phone but whatever! Lets get developing!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
im gonna call em and say put a 16gb on the truck for me TODAY
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aznmode:
Thats not true. I pre-ordered an evo 3d from Radio shack last year and it arrived the same day it was released. But given that release day is tomorrow and they are just going to order now then ya there's no way they can get it to you soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mmengis6:
It would really suck if we recieve a defective device.

I don't mean to jinx it or anything but yea!! LOL :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] G3noobie:
I just spoke with the same person I spoke with yesterday at BB and he said everything is still on schedule on his end for the receipt of the phones for tomorrow. 6/21
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smark72:
I had to log out and back in, in order for it to show. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] yahknow1:
I have the majority of my music collection ( my favorites) all ripped at like 225kbs mp3 and it takes a little more than 11gb of my 32gb sd card and really thats tons of music! That and the rest of my ENTIRE collection on Google music to stream whenever I want to or my data connection is good. This phone has the wolfson DAC which, if it's anything like the original E4G (and the driver from Supercurio) will turn it into the best music player money can buy!

I game a little bit and a movie from time to time, I've NEVER even come close to running out of space with my E4GT....I just can't see needing a 32gb phone, we're not Crapple for gooddness sakes, thats the beauty of the SD expansion slot!! AT&T doesn't even offer a GS3 other than the 16Gb version...I just think there'll be plenty of room.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mercado79:
I think this is a bad idea (splitting up the forums into carrier specific ones). Here's the message I just sent to the mods. Curious to hear what you all think though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sekigah84:
Considering this has never happened, they might just merge everything later.

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

Since everything is the same except the radios.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] creamcityjw:
I should have specified, pre-ordering the GSIII from Radio Shack. When you can pre-order a phone that will sell out of pre-orders from multiple locations (ie carrier, big box, etc) why would anyone try going to Radio Shack for the pre-order?

The majority of supply will go first and foremost to the locations manufacturers believe demand to be highest. So in this case, to carriers, then big box retail, then smaller retail. Not to say Radio Shack is small, but Best Buy will have much higher demand.

Hopefully that July 6th date is accurate, hate to see all the Radio Shack pre-orders suffer the waiting game any longer than that!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aznmode:
To each his own. I say buy whichever you like and not let anyones needs/wants affect your decision.

---------- Post added at 12:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ----------

I think once we get concrete confirmation that we can do cross platform then that may be a good idea. But for now I vote for carrier specific ones. I can see how accessories and Theme& app could be merged though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] palecat:
That would be my theory too but my local radioshack was the only retail location to have an unclaimed E4GT on launch day which was awesome as I hadn't pre-ordered.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] yahknow1:
True...but I have a tracking number for my 16bg GS3!!!

but you're correct, it may just be a couple days....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
Like i said, to each their own. I filled my 16GB iPhone twice with only photos. You do the math, expansion slot or not 32GB is 32GB. I'll reiterate onerous time, the 32GB model is best for my needs. If you can get by on 16, that is fantastic!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thatkidnamd5:
the darn phone hasn't moved since 1:03pm! Get a move on UPS, I need my fix!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Epix4G:
The roms on galaxy $3 are over 700+ Mb.....a nandroid will be anywhere from 1 to 2 GB...this phone you can almost guarantee will be supported by boot manager...the internal on s3 will be twice as fast as a class10 sd.....so if you install just 2 or 3 roms using boot manager you will be seriously short on space.....boot manager on my nexus it's great ....paranoid,miui , Aokp all installed and boot which ever I feel like...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
This is precisely the way it should be.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
They should split up forums similarly to the Nexus S. have one main forum with general, q&a, etc but have carrier specific development sub forums AS NEEDED.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aznmode:
+1. The radio shack I pre-ordered an evo 3d from (while everyone was sold out of pre-order) had a few extra ones that was not spoken for on release day. Not everyone knows about Radio Shack so sometimes its good to buy from there and you will have better chance of getting it than the popular stores like BB.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bnaegele:
That is the new plan from what I've read but Best Buy's service plan (note - not insurance) doesn't cover things like theft/loss or submersion of the device. It's also a one-time deal. You pay $40 or whatever for the plan and if you have a claim then you have to buy the plan all over again. It can also take weeks to get a replacement. At least, that's my understanding.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] HilleMary:
Delivery Thursday?

Mine shows:

Louisville, KY, United States	06/20/2012	2:42 P.M.	Departure Scan

06/20/2012	1:16 P.M.	Origin Scan

I'm in Ohio and hoping it'll be delivered tomorrow. I've been reading all these posts for days now and wasn't at all anxious before that!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] numero9:
Shipped out, woohoo. Can't wait! I'm a refugee from the Touch Pro 2, so I cannot wait anymore for a new phone :-D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xtrezpasor:
I was told you have unlimited claims but it can take 3 to 5 business days to replace but they have a loaner program... Not sure tho
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sephirothvfc:
It's $9.99/month or $169.99 2 year outright. It does not cover lost/theft or full submerssion. No deductable and turn around period is 2-5 days. I sent 2 phones out yesterday and they got them back in today. So I don't know if they are getting faster but 1 day is awesome. Yes I do work for best buy mobile.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] creamcityjw:
Just got the departure scan from Louisville, KY at 3:51PM EST. UPS tracking not showing estimated delivery, but that's no issue (as long as it arrives by Friday and I don't come home to that stupid delivery failure sticker).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sephirothvfc:
I heard from out sprint rep like 1 min ago, pre orders still on for tomorrow but release date next week. Now I haven't heard any employee news or anything so not sure how reliable is that info.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thatkidnamd5:
Liar! It just departed :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RawisTheGameHhH:
i stand corrected; great news!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] creamcityjw:
That's similar to how I snagged a Transformer Prime, I looked everywhere but somehow I stumbled across an article linking to it available at Best Buy. It didn't show up on their website, but by clicking that link it was available. Lo and behold when it arrived, it was from the "Returns Department" so I'm wondering if it was a cancelled pre-order or something. Still shrink-wrapped and everything!

Sometimes you just get lucky and find the one place others didn't think of. :cool:

32gb Order Cancellation

So, after all the reading, here, there and everywhere and discovered that unfortunately the 32gb were in fact delayed, I called Order Support to change my delivery address since I am leaving Arizona on Sunday and will be gone for 60 days. I was told that the address cannot be changed until it is shipped. I asked when would that be - oh, next week but not sure of the date. I explained that this exact same thing happened with my EVO LTE and when we changed the delivery address there was an additional 5 day delay for delivery. I was assured, just like with the EVO LTE, that the delay would be no more than 1 day. I assured them that I was not going to go through this again, please cancel my order and restore my upgrade. This was done, within seconds and all is now good. My store in Dallas has stated they will have both "sometime" next week. Enjoy your 16gb and have fun!:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gingson:
So much for delivery before or on the 21st. Mine just left KY at 3:52PM via 2-day air. So its Friday delivery, June 22 not June 21. Bwahahahaha.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] p0rkguy:
Sounds like June 21 to me...

If it just left for departure means it'll be in your area tonight.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
Not looking good for BestBuy Preorders. Oh well at least I got my screen protectors in today and my NFC tags shipped out.

I think I waited around 4 weeks for my Evo 4g since they were really hard to come by and Sprint kept giving away my damn phone! lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mmengis6:
I beginning to think they were already shipped out last night. Since there was a lot of them, I guess it took them long time to update it in their system. The reason I am saying is because, I received a text message from UPS letting me know it is in a warehouse located in the state I live in.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
just tell me where in az and ill go pick it up for ya! ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RawisTheGameHhH:
damn; i was first to get a tracking number last night and i am going to be the last to depart; but then again its only going like 500 miles to chicago!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrshiat:
Me too.. curious, you have any hopes for a delivery tomorrow?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pathtologos:
Why do u say? Any new info?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RawisTheGameHhH:
yup; ground from Louisville is 1 day; i bet it leaves late tonight; arrives at a hub sometime over night and gets on a truck for my house by 8a
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] newspapercrane:
Let's hope so. It looks like mine has departed Louisville on it's way to the land of Corn and Corruption.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
In retrospect, perhaps we could've seen this issue with the 32GB model 2 weeks ago. The fact that it could only be preordered through sprint is a possible indicator of a limited stock. Ah well, next week it is. Shucks, how will I ever make it another few days without my new phone? Whatever shall I do? Lol

Mine had the departure status earlier today, in Kentucky.

Will it get to the west coast and be ready for delivery tomorrow?

NVM, it should be. It is in transit to a major city about an hour from my house so unless it's going by ground i should have it tomorrow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hnic91:
I'm going to be serious, I haven't complained about anything yet. If stores get this phone before I get my pre order. If my phone don't come tomorrow and people can buy them in stores then Sprint failed at what a pre order is. Which is they are going to get to me before or the same time as anyone who didn't pre order. So hoping they shipped out last night and will be here in the morning.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jmstansell:
That is the reason I think there shouldn't have been a delay on the 32GB models. It was an online exclusive for Sprint and that would make me think there would have been a guarantee that they would have had at least the amount of phones that were sold in the pre-ordered.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shane6374:

If we get pre orders they will be available tomorrow. Release date has been pushed till next week. I'll post something if we do get them. This is in SA tx. Now I have not gotten any employee news or emails that pre orders are good for tomorrow. Sprint rep was in today and said they are good for tomorrow if we get them. Rep doesn't work for bb so won't take it seriously until I see them
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] yahknow1:
EXACTLY, that's what a pre-order is supposed to be. Sprint failed miserably on the 32gb phones. I'd be extremely mad if my circumstances were different and I had planned on getting my phone when PROMISED
