Quite a few of us are in Central Florida.
We should all sync a day and go get the SGS3 from the same store!
They'd go like WTF!?! :dong:

lol lol look like its coming down to which store will have them first and they must be reading these thread and saying GET READY GUYS THEY TALKING ABOUT US!! lol lol

 

[storm21]

is $549 with taxes?
Or is metro pulling a fast one on us and adding $50 to the price out of thin air?

549 is everything..... tax and a fee to upgrade i think

 

[miraflores77]

[XtianZark]

[n4zty]

the phone is 499 but when tax and $15 fee its $549

not really taxes would be like $20 or near around there and the $15 would make it $535 i wish ricky would already txt me back lol hes having too much fun with his new gs3

'showance = insurance
deductible = what you pay for a new phone should you lose your and file a claim.
A link would be nice though, cause i checked PhoneClaim.com - Metro PCS cell phones replaced fast! File a claim for your lost, stolen, or damaged phone, and nada

That link was the one I was talking about and yes, I misread the Lightray with the 2 line entry there as the S3. Still, I would assume they'd both have the same deductible so for a year of insurance and getting one replacement phone you're looking at $190.

Funny I was right my corporate store had them ever since this whole week, they didn't release it yesterday like they were suppose to for whatever reason. I got hold of the manager who told me the date he said they will start selling either this afternoon or tomorrow or Monday. They only have the White version unfortunately and I am not sure if he is telling the truth or not but he said its the 32gb version. Can you confirm this please N4ZTY. And to Storm and tiede looks like you gotta take the slap back huh.

IMO, one does have to pay attention to the nitty gritty of the insurance situation for Your Particular phone.

My DX had been out quite awhile when I got it, I didn't get insurance for it. After a year I did break the screen but got another DX like new for $100. It's now almost 2 years since I got the phone and at $100 spent over that time and having 2 DXs that work, I'm ahead of the insurance game.

I DO think it's Completely Insane for example, to have insurance on the Motion. Why? You can get a brand new, not refurb phone for 2x just one year's insurance coverage. (To me, that's a not often mentioned Benefit of the Motion, you save about $70 a year insurance owning one. Or, you Should Save that anyway...)

OTOH, for a $500+ phone to me it's a Duh, no brainer to carry insurance at least for the first 2 years you own the phone.

If you were to wait a few days after launch, when other retailers finally get it, you could buy it from best buy and get their insurance. It is $10/month buy that covers any kind of damage and you pay no deductible. I have two lines, one is metro(personal), and the other is Sprint(business). I plan on buying my next phone through beat buy. (Galaxy note 2) as for the s3, you shouldn't need to much protection, it's a tough phone though it may not feel like it. A gel case would be more then sufficient

gr8!
I'll let you know by tomorrow, if the phone doesn't come out then...
Any other takers?
BTW, if it comes out tomorrow, then Saturday or Sunday morning! lol

I personally think the latest meet web prices dealie for Bestbuy is them in their death throes. I saw recent loss figures lately for them that were mindbendingly bad. Bad enough to not be sustainable. If they don't have a steller holiday season and really turn things around, I wouldn't bet $10 they make it thru next year.

I am not so sure I'd be inclined to give them $500 for an S3 and commit myself to only their insurance and expect it to still be there this time next year.

But that's just me I'm sure.

On the receipt it said ESN UPGRADE FEE, probably for the Uicc card they give up. But at the same time this phone was my sisters first from cdma to 4glte so could be only for people who is moving from regular phones to 4g. I hope so dont feel like paying 15 dollar for nothing thats three months of insurance, half a week of gas, or countless other things.
