Galaxy S3 news and more !!

Metro. Heads up. I promise you this. Never again will I get the least bit excited about the release of ANY new phone of yours until it's on your website for sale and people have them in their handS. And dates of speculation on future phones? I might pay attention if they're delivered to the earth on bolts of lightening. With video.

The only announcement from Metro was that it is coming out in October. So you are giving Metro a heads up about what?
 
he means hes excited about gs3 im debating to buy it first day or not since no word on rebate and if later they offer rebate will i be qualified for it?
 
According to a Tech Support Rep I spoke to that is the release date.

Will try to confirm with another source-but everyone will probably have info now.

Who's getting one on day one?

I merge your post over here :)


Can we please not make any new threads About the release date for the s3 any new info please post in this thread thx......
 
I live the believing on everyone's own mind. Just telling what I heard from a actuality Metropcs corporate manager. After they were done with the meeting. October 17 and 499.99 no rebate
 
sounds good i hope they release a $100 rebate like how they did with the esteem when it first came out.

i could have sworn the rebate for the esteem didnt come out the same day it was released but when the rebate was available, people who bought the esteem days before were still eligible?
 
oh it wasnt right away but mikey told me even though he got it first b4 the rebate was available he was eligible for the rebate so thats what i meant.

It did come out either the first day it came out or the second. I bought the esteem either the first day or the second day it came out; i dont remember which day but I did get the $100 rebate. The thing that was odd about it, however, was that they ended that rebate a few days later and then came out with a new one.
 
I walked into a BB yesterday, first time since my local one closed. They want 700+ to buy that sucker out right. Dumb shit like that is why they will either be completely out of business or an online only retailer within a couple of years. Amazon, Brandsmart, HHGregg and wal mart are slowly putting them out and i for one am perfectly fine with that. You can only over charge on all of your products for so long until you have no business at all. Usually where there's a BB there's also a wal mart nearby and people will just go to WM to but their tv and save hundreds at the same time.

So long best buy. Nice knowing you haha

Best buy does this for a reason. Most people but the phone on contract. Best buy also does a buy back program where they buy your phone back for way more than you would get selling it to a carrier one to one of the online resale shops. Most people that buy phones from there without contracts are using this buy back program. I just took my sgs2 in and got $280 back. Sprint offered only $84. As for the sgs3, they will probably sell the metro pcs for the same price as you would pay at metro pcs dealers. They only show the super high prices on contract phones, which actually helps convince people to sign contracts because they feel like they are getting a better deal.
 
If the GS3 doesn't launch with Jelly Bean then it's DOA to me.


Why are you do insistant in jelly been? Honestly, i don't see much difference. It's a minor upgrade and not worth getting worked up about. It's not like going from gingerbread to ics, it's basically doing from froyo to gingerbread. Minor updates, nothing major.
 
come on guys...we still playing the guess game with metro?? lol....i think metro dont even know what day they want the s3 to be out
 
Then after that, it will be the 24th for sure!

*rolls eyes*

If they keep spitting dates, someone will be right eventually. Hopefully, it is the 17, but meh.

It is confirmed unless metro has some serious issues. But yeah the official metropcs manager well that's what he said. And so far its been confirmed by other dealers in Florida too.
 
Are you really that discontent that Ice Cream sandwich wouldn't be good for you?

Dude just got the Lg Motion for my sister this afternoon and holy crap first word in my mind Hallelujah I was like got damn ICS is amazing and I only used it for like 10 minutes. And lol now I want to mess with the phone instead of giving it to my sister first. So imagine we are getting the big screen ICS that will be upgraded, tons of dev support, roms, a beast performing monster.
