Just received an email from Sprint:


Thanks again for pre-ordering the new Samsung Galaxy S III from Sprint.

Due to overwhelming demand for Galaxy S III worldwide, Samsung has informed us they will not be able to deliver enough inventory for Sprint to fulfill pre-orders on June 21. We are working closely with Samsung on a delivery schedule and hope to begin shipping pre-orders for the 32GB version next week as we receive inventory. We apologize for any inconvenience. To check the status of your pre-order, please visit sprint.com/myorder.

I got the same email today. I hope we can see ours next week.

The blue is so sexy! pictures can't capture it!
 
I've ordered 16GB on Ebay today hahahah I'm going to sell the 32GB (Pebble Blue) when I get it next week. For those of you who couldn't pre-order the 32GB, PM me if you're interested!!
 
Talked to Sprint on the phone after I went to Best Buy where I preordered my phone. I was informed that since I ordered through a 3rd party my pre-order meant nothing. I would be lucky to get it when they nationally launch it. I was very upset as I had called Sprint all week asking about it and this was the 1st I had heard this, otherwise I would have cancelled the order with BB and re-pre-ordered it through Sprint directly before the preorder was shut down! Shady business as far as I'm concerned. Way to treat customers, Sprint, BB, and Samsung! :(

I"m not trying to fuel your fire but really this has nothing to do with Sprint or Samsung and maybe BB unless somebody told you if you pre-order your phone from a 3rd party you will get it on the 21st. I think the pre-order page on sprint was very clear. If you pre-order on Sprint.com sprint will try to get you the phone on or before the launch date of the 21st. It sucks that you missed the launch date but the phone will be all over the place by sat. Good luck
 
SurrealOne....maybe I did not make myself clear because I am upset. However I was told by Best Buy and Sprint all week long that I would get it on the 21st. I was told this up until 5pm today. So you can see why I am upset. I did not look at Sprints pre-order page as Sprint told me as welll as BB that I could order through either and get it on the 21st as all other pre-orders. Since I've never pre-ordered a thing in my life I took the experts word on this. In fact BB did not know they would not receive them until I told them! The only reason I ordered it through BB is because I was in the mall at BB and they told me I could do it this way. I am paralyzed and thought it would save me another trip of getting in and out of the car and going to the Sprint store as I didn't feel comfortable setting up the phone myself, I wanted it delivered to the store. I think it is easy to judge someone when you really are not aware of all the facts. Anyway I am happy for you that you received your phone but grow up!
 
First of all the grow up part was uncalled for It was not my fault you did not say anything about being told you would get the phone on the 21st. No need to be rude. And now I understand thew whole story I would for sure be mad at BB. Like I said it sucks you did not get your phone and you should be pissed at whoever said you would get it. I also undstand you were just doing what the so called experts told you. I hope you still want to get the GS3 and keep coming back to to forums for updates. Also the forums are good place to go for buying advice. The guys in BB are not experts just sales guys trying to make a buck. :)
 
Surreal,
I apologize for me to put a but in it would not suffice. I will just say it has been a dissatisfying day. I won't say a bad day because that is reserved for a day you are left paralyzed from an auto accident on the way home from work. So everyday I wake up is a great day, some more great than others. Again my apologies, my emotions got the best of me!

Surreal
Also Wish I had found the forum before I bought through BB so I could have had some advice from all of you much more informed consumers than employees of BB or Sprint.

How does the phone feel in the hand?
Click to expand...


It feels nice. At first your kinda fooled as the phone is so big but its super light. Even now I just picked it up, I was surprised by how light it is for being so big.

The display is amazing! I had the EVO LTE until 2 weeks ago and people were all saying the screen on that is way better than this but I disagree. I prefer the S3 screen much more and so glad I returned the EVO LTE for it.
 
First post on the forum with the phone. Btw it feels very good and light in hands. Feels like you can easily drop it though so gotta b careful
 
Quick question. How do you access the color scheme or w/e that was on reviews. Where you can change to standard natural or movie
 
Glad to hear most you guys got your phones! I hope you found some of rants on shipping dates useful. If I hear anything about the 32GB ship-dates I will let you guys know. I will be waiting for another 20 days :(
