Verizon Pre-order, Release date, and speculation thread

[hal1]

I wonder how all those t-mobile and at&t people feel. You know, the ones who have ACTUALLY had their preorders delayed.

I was thinking the same thing. At least we still have a *cough* release date coming up. Can you imagine if that date had passed and no phone yet.

I haven't followed the other carrier's release date threads but I can't imagine they're happy.

I've been watching this thread from afar at work today... this is what you all made me think of

Just to add more fuel to the fire.... looks like 7/12 is now in play

HHGregg Says Verizon’s Galaxy S3 is Launching July 12 – Droid Life

Pretty sure I saw the Verizon S3 in a 4G LTE commercial. It appears they managed to fit "Verizon" on the bottom of the display...:facepalm:

My goodness.... go to the VZW site!!! They have an image of the GS3... and it has no branding on the front

Lol that must mean that they slapped it on the back cover. Explains why there is no picture of the back of the phone. What?? A Verizon phone with no advertized logo? That's doesn't seem right...

On another note, yesss!!!! my phone shipped!...

Spoiler

...4 years before Independence Day!

Yes, I noticed that when I ordered. Thank goodness Samsung didn't leave them any room to put that dang check mark and long Z!

On another note, yesss!!!! my phone shipped!...

Haha, mine shipped a day before yours did!

But you know for sure it will have say Verizon & 4G LTE on the back like the Gnex does. That is why I plan on picking up an unbranded back cover that just says Samsung.

That's what cases are for! My Droid X gel skin has the Motorola M and the Verizon logo imbedded in the interior.

I saw that. Hoping it is Hollywood movie magic and not on the actual phones.

 

[Devz]

I don't get the issue with the Verizon branding. In the almost two years I've had my Droid X, I can't say the Verizon logo has ever stood out or I've ever really noticed it, and it's right on the front.

At least with it on the back on the S3, you can cover it up with a case.

Or just snag a international S3 back = Verizon branded free

Ok thank goodness someone else saw it as well. Hope it's just for commercial purposes.

Yeah, I'm thinking that accessories are going to me Mi-tee-plentiful for this little puppy.

Yup, with 10 MILLION sold/pre-ordered, accessories will be flowing.

 

[Raftysworld]

So what Verizon bloat are we going to get on this phone?

Nothing that we won't be able to disable via ICS or remove via root

You would seriously put in the small effort of buying an international S3 back? Notsureifserious.jpg

To be fair, Qualcomm doesnt actually manufacture the chips, they design them and then have TSMC manufacture them. And Im not entirely sure TSMC is entirely to blame (although Im sure theyre probably freaking out over the number of chips they have to make) since Samsung hasnt shipped any of the 32GB models to the US (all the phones released thus far have been the 16GB model).

The new 28nm fabricating process is the culprit. Qualcomm stated this a few months ago. Not an efficient process yet.

Day=ruined. better not be the case. There isnt one on the model theyre advertising on their site

Everyone hurry up and check, if you didn't already before checking in here. My order status finally updated to.... expected ship date... wait for it... July 9th. Which may put it in some peoples hands on the 9th, depending on where they live.

 

[droblyer]

Yep, mine updated today also. July 9th. I ordered a white 32g. Wouldn't surprise me if it gets delayed because of the 32 size though....

 

[TheClap]

Apparently Verizon already sent me my phone...240 years ago.


Expected Ship Date: 09/10/1772

I thought they fixed that issue? My order status just updated to this from no expected ship date or whatever.

 

[jimbo1mcm]
