So, you dreamt about a phone...whoaa! And what did you counselor have to say about that? :silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] onilink67:
Well sprint account is no longer in the negative dollars maybe that means that phones are about to ship
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DC_MTP:
This was Said in the "32gb Samsung Galaxy S III Status" thread. It has also been confirmed by another member.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
Or it just means the bills are due tomorrow
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] theroyalwe:
Anyone successfully gotten them to drop the 4g charge since there is no LTE? I imagine it's unlikely but I figured I'd ask.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bohiti:
While it started out seeming like a "4g" charge a couple years ago, its now a mandatory rate for all smartphones called "premium data". Define it how you like, I've never heard of it being waived for anyone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
if my phone isnt here by the time the bill IS due again ..... im not paying it they can use the money I paid for the phone towards the bill and I'll pay for the phone when it ships :fingers-crossed:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sleestax:
Out of curiosity, did anyone who ordered a 16GB device not receive it yet?

I just checked the myorder site and still no tracking number for my 32GB.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] a2tz:
talked to "Jessica" a little bit ago....said no time for sure but they were "trying to get them out this week". I also asked about some $$ of for my troubles and she said "there will be no $$ savings due to manufacturer hold ups" so we joked a bit it wasn't her fault and i should blame samsung...

so really aside from not letting us know much info...i don't blame sprint for it much.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] p2flol:
And to think I paid for my phone 20 days ago and I still do not have it yet. Sigh.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LILREDJAY:
Counselor said that someone with no sense of humor would say something like this. She was right! :-D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
I'd say he obviously has a sense of humor, seemed like a joke to me :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] f16pilot:
And your counselor was right, you have no sense of humor... :laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blackte4:
Day one of next week... if I recalled every customer service rep said said early next week... Its 7 days ina week. Sunday you don't ship so Monday and Tuesday is early next week. I know I better have a tracking number by 7pm... I would ask for a full refund and switch service...

Just to let you all know they had the phones since Sunday around 3pm. Call them n ask.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mikiemon:
It doesn't bother me the phone will be a week late, it really doesn't. What bothers me, no pisses me off, is the complete lack of communication from Sprint. And I don't want anyone telling me that too much trouble for Sprint. They had no trouble sending that worthless E-mail telling me my phone is almost here. The only way I was able to find any info on the delay was through the forum and hours of searching. What gives Sprint!?!?!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
someone better let Jessica know

Jessica: Thank you for visiting Sprint. What questions can I answer for you today?

You: sup girl?

Jessica: Thank you for your patience. If your question is account or order related, please have your order number, account number and PIN ready.

You: i heard you have them gs3 32gbs on deck

You: can I haz mine?

You: ill gladly take you out for a cheezburger

Jessica: Please wait while a secure chat connection is established.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aznmode:
At this point I'm not gonna get my hopes up anymore. My evo 3d is holding me up for the time being. Im sure gonna miss wimax and 3d pron so I'm making the most of it right while I still have the Evo.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Monkey Man Zero:
So, I got something in the mail from Sprint today...

A postcard saying my order was backordered.

Seriously....gigantic stones.

I was almost OK with this delay, really coming to terms...and then they brought it all back.

Truly a pooch screwing episode of epic proportions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LILREDJAY:
I suggest that we should all start doing some research collectively and start digging up some phone numbers and emails of as many upper management or executive sales reps as possible. Then post it online and have everyone email and call complaining about this delay and misinformation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ind3lible:
Finally got mine!!"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Monkey Man Zero:
Assuming you bought a 16GB?

Or do you mean you got your postcard?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DC_MTP:
Well??? Ind3lible which is it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blackte4:
It bet not be a 32gb and I'm still waiting for my tracking number.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] p2flol:
[/COLOR]Sigh.

Jessica: The national launch date for the Samsung Galaxy S III has changed. The Samsung Galaxy S III will not be available for purchase in any Sprint channel as of the original June 21st launch date. The national launch date is currently pending, and we will update our website when the new launch date is available. Please feel free to check back for up to date information about the release.

Hmm.

Shin Jong-kyun, president of Samsung's mobile communications business, said the Galaxy S III will hit the 10-million milestone within two months of its launch.

"It has been tough to keep up with demand," Shin told reporters.

Samsung's failure to procure sufficient mobile components for its latest smartphone has stoked concerns that its second-quarter smartphone sales could be much lower than expected. Shin said the company expects to resolve the supply issues with mobile components sometime in the next week.

He's on the Wrong THREAD!

This dude pre-ordered from Best Buy which means he has a 16gb. Nobody has a tracking number or a phone that ordered the 32gb model. Still Sucks! It feels like watching paint dry!!!! :mad:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
go back... all their e-mails are already in this thread
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Anon9mouz:
Well I got of the phone sprint said they started shipping 32gb so we should see 2-7 days :D finally so when ups picks them up soon we will have tracking numbers

Another week of waiting
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] INHUMANITY:
I finally had my hands on one today (first time). My co-worker picked up his 16GB Pebble Blue from AT&T. The screen is substantially dimmer than my OG EVO when compared side-by-side.

Disabling auto-brightness brought it up to the OG EVO's brightness level. I sure hope a future update calms the automatic brightness controls down a bit.

Other than that, it was absolutely gorgeous. The Pebble Blue attracts finger prints like you would not believe. At the same time, the Pebble Blue color is amazing. Looks so much better than any picture or video I have seen online.

Minor grievances aside, I am still waiting to place my order for the 32GB model.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blackte4:
If i look at one more YouTube clip about my s3 I'm going to jump(off my bed then head to the kitchen for my bottle of Chardonnay).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sleestax:
Woah! Calm down there, cowboy. We don't want you doing anything drastic, like drinking awful wine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SpicyBurrito:
So I doubt they're going to be in the store by July 1st for me to insta-buy them.

This same guy called it last week how everyone would be getting their shipping email and whatnot.

His girlfriend and him are in the loop somehow.

I'm thankful for the info he provides.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] a2tz:
Sounds exciting. Didn't read his old messages but lets hope he knows what he's talking about.

Anyone know what the "processor issue" is he mentioned?

That also leads/answers my other thought...why has NOONE gotten 32gig phones yet...you would think if it was a shortage that a few people would have out there. But I've yet to see a single one. So there must have been something wrong...otherwise they would have at least sent out the few they had? Or am I just totally wrong with that thought line.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
just watched zedomax's video on how to replace the screen ...... all I can say is DONT BREAK your screen lol

everyone who pre-ordered did. it's because they haven't yet been in stock
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stonew5082:
On previous phones even when they say 32 Max it supports 64 so I wouldn't worry about it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
OK... Here is the email that sprint has sent everyone.

The Sprint items listed below from your order are either on pre-order or temporarily out of stock:

If you pre-ordered a Samsung Galaxy S III, we’ll do our best to get it to you before others get a glimpse on Thursday, June 21 and we’ll send you an email the second it ships. For more information and the latest updates on pre-orders please visit www.sprint.com/preorder.

OK. First of all it says "are either on pre-order or out of stock. Of course they are on pre-order.

Yes. Same as the international version.

Anyone hear any news about the Apple/Samsung thing? I thought we were going to hear something today.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
I just pre-ordered my blue one today. :)

Damn thing was $665. Hopefully it's as good as I'm hoping so I can sell some other phones to get back the money.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
I had been stalking it the last few days. I haven't seen anything on it, though honestly, I think the claim will fail. Samsung has them on two major factors:

1) The timing: Apple didn't file the injunction until only days before the release and days before the nexus hearing. They had plenty of time to file a suit as of 3 May when the phone released, and they waited. They had too little fore notice on the injunction.

2) Apple's own rep stated that they were pursuing it because of the 'irreparable damage' the galaxy S III sales will do to the apple shares.

Apple's motto should be: If we can't beat 'em, sue 'em.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Chevyboxer:
Just got back from the event. It was hard to track down actual people that knew a lot about the phone. I see most of the questions were answered. According to the guy that was talking about dropbox space (which we will get) it holds up to a 64 SD card but does not come with an SD card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stonew5082:
you have done us a great service. Looks like all our hopes came true. I wonder if it does usb host? Anyone know?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prophetx2:
So I take it no phones for sale during the launch and no more 32 gigs for preorder...sigh.

I thought they might raffle off a phone but they just gave away best buy gift cards and a stereo system. Got to walk around for a bit with one and take pictures though. Coming from and EVO 3D I was really impressed with how light it was.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deathpulse:
Throttled AT&T is MUUUUCH slower than Sprint 3g (and you CANNOT tether ever unless you pay for it in ADDITION to your "unlimited" date). In fact - I am currently on AT&T (Galaxy Note) and I am switching to Sprint the MOMENT I can get an SIII 32GB from their store. They best hurry up to get my dollars!! :).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] qhinton:
So here are my stats for first day of use. It's not very impressive to me. Tomorrow I will turn off radios and use them as needed plus limit sync.

1. Drained battery last night

2. Let it charge with phone off

3. This morning turned on: wifi, Bluetooth, gps, sync, and auto bright
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sleestax:
Same here, ordered on the 8th.

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

Regarding tethering, it's the same on Sprint. If you want official tethering, it's an additional charge on top of your data and "premium data" charges. It's a big reason why a lot of people either use foxfi (no-root), android wifi tether (root) or easytether (usb connected).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jmstansell:
Still nothing for me. Ordered June 5th about 5:07 PM...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deathpulse:
Not sure I was clear - even WITH those android tools AT&T calls you (on first offense) then mods your contract if you repeat offend. OH - and don't forget that the tethering ALSO contributes to your data cap. So. It sucks. Lots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sleestax:
It sounds like they are just calling people who pass a certain thresh-hold of data usage. I don't tether, but I watch a ton of netflix, HBO Go, and Xfinity on my mobile. I regularly run into the 10GB of data a month, which is why I stick with Sprint. That said, I've read stories here about Sprint voiding people's contracts for "too much data usage", so I suppose they could do that to me. That said, if they called and told me they were voiding my contract due to tethering, I'd laugh at them then require that they pay for me to move to a new carrier and pay for a new phone or they can waste their time and money sending an attorney to show up in small claims court in Atlanta to lose $500 anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Anon9mouz:
Fine print I hate to say but u would lose bub

__________________________________________________
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sleestax:
Oh, I'm sure they can void the contract for any reason they want to. I also wouldn't expect them to be stupid enough to actually put "tethering" as a reason for voiding the contract. It would just be some generic thing about them exercising the rights I signed-over to them..blah de blah blah.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tailsthecat3:
Only if you roam too much, too often. I've had months and months of 30+ gb of usage. Downloading, streaming, gaming, etc., never heard a word.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sleestax:
I think my wife employs the same standard.

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

Sure, but roaming is easy to prove with Sprint's own data and the carriers who's networks you roamed on's data. Tethering is another ball of wax. Especially if one is using a non stock ROM.
