I just called best buy after talking to my buddy at AT&T and I preordered my Galaxy S3 for 539.00 and I am using my buy back from the Note and it will cost me 240.00 or so.. I am tired of the slowness of the Note and want the better camera (yes it is better it is still 8 MP but it is the same as the iphone 4s) and also want the 2gig of ram and the faster processor and also want the features.. I am kind of let down that the Note still hasent been updated yet and also there is a New Note coming in late fall if I need to upgrade again using the buy back program. I love the note dont get me wrong but I am tired of waiting for everything and I love the new camera features and the video you can play while you brose and the speach and everything.. I thought that Samsung would focus on the Note as the Premier Phone but that is going away (I think they found issues with it and that is why the note 2 is coming out so fast) but that is ok.. Anyway I cant wait for the S3

Make sure to post after you have gotten to play with your S3 and let us know what you think. Did Best Buy tell you what day they plan to have the phone available for you?
 
Yes I am getting the White AT&T one and it will be on Thursday the 21st.. I think the only thing I will miss is the Pen but I can get over that with the updated everything else.. ya know..
 
I also am getting the phone through best buy, Verizon blue 16G. When I ordered it they said the delivery date is to be determined. So they don't know when I will get the phone. Anyone else order a Verizon version and get a date from them? I ordered it through BB because of the $50 gift card offer they had earlier this year. I checked with a Verizon rep and they said I would be able to keep unlimited data since I pre-ordered, guess I will find out.

I went to BB and they said that my new contract wouldn't start until the new phone came in, so I would lose my unlimited. I went to VZ after that. In another thread, a BB employee said the same thing. Sorry, but you're probably screwed.
 
My question to Verizon:

I currently have an unlimited data plan and pre-ordered a Samsung Galaxy S3 through Best Buy on June 8th. I will be using my wifes upgrade. I had a Verizon customer service rep tell me over the phone I will be able to keep my unlimited data since I pre-ordered the phone even though I did not order through Verizon and I will be getting the phone/contract after the shared data plans come out. Can you confirm this information?

The response from Verizon via E-mail:

Thank you for contacting Verizon Wireless through our website, I hope you are having a great week so far! My name is Amanda and I am more than happy to answer your questions regarding your Unlimited Data Plan. I definitely understand your want for keeping that, it is such a great feature!

With our upcoming changes and release of our Share Everything Plans, you still have the following options to keep this feature after June 28:

 
The US note got the outdated s3 processor which couldnt handle things for the note. The international version blows the at&t note out of the water. I think the note 2 will be a more beast of a phone both size wise and under the hood.
