Sprint Pre-Order and Release date discussion thread

[alexander323bc]

Unless I've missed something, or am just plain wrong, this isn't available in ANY stores tomorrow, not sprint stores, not any authorized vendors either (let me know if I'm wrong though, if so, I'll be out there too)

Ya I am not sure what he meant either. The in store launch has been delayed

 

[alexander323bc]

I think Sprint was on the ball and really shipped all 16gb preorders.

I say this as I had a 32gb on order since 6/5 and as soon as I read they would not be shipped until next week if even then, I preordered a 16gb on 6/19 right before they stopped accepting preorders and mine shipped and will be delivered before 3pm today!!!! So if mine shipped and was ordered 6/19, I think all others shipped too.

My understanding is they shipped every 16gb pre order yesterday. They just cant always guarentee if UPS is going to delivery on time. There will still be few people that wont get it till Friday ( tomorrow).

Mine is on truck and will be delivered today by end of day. Don't think I can wait until tonight to use it. Might just have to come home to get it once it says delivered.

Looks like everyone is getting theirs today Good Job Sprint on getting these orders out.

I took a 1/2 day yesterday so I can't today or I would too.

[Hunterbeav]

That's funny I have done that in the past for other phones my wife thinks I'm crazy. But it's the little things in life to look forward too

My phone arrived at 9am. currently charging, one of the perks of living on base with a dedicated ups truck every morning

 

[bybcous]

Me too, I am already planning my evening around it. Go home take care of a couple things, eat then a couple vodka and sodas sitting on the couch fooling with it for hours. :smokingsomb:

I'm going to assume you're a Sprint customer and will be merging this thread into the Sprint thread.

Thanks for understanding.

 

[Brooklynz]

He's correct. Sprint for life

[2horses]

Phone is in my hands. Can't believe how big and light it is. Such a difference from the Evo 4g.

I'll be curious to see others experiences... but this thing gets HOT.

I called 4 Sprint stores in the KC area and a Best Buy to see if they had any S3's for sale and they all said No and told me to call next week.

 

[Yanks]

Still waiting for UPS to come here in Cali. Hopefully he comes by noon

On my doorstep in SLC, UT at 10:00am this morn via UPS. Damn, Sprint and UPS were on the ball! Hats off to them. Sprint truly a rising force...I feel really good about buying their stock a month or so ago in the $2 range.

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.

 

[rkkeller]

I got it!!! Well not in my hands yet but I just saw the UPS man drop it off on my security cameras. They send me email alerts when triggered and I got a picture of him carrying it towards my porch.
