Verizon Pre-order, Release date, and speculation thread

[Ches111]

Looks like some Apple fanboy decided to review the SIII on the Verizon website. Just makes you laugh.

That is just WOW! The stupidity abounds.

Someone find that lemming a cliff!

Better yet send him my way and I will sell him my jPhone!

Shhhh Secret!!! I will dazzle them with a 3G Droid X Cyanogen Mod with IOS Theme and cut out piece of paper pasted to the back in shape of pear.

ha I laugh when the apple fanboys do a review before they even have the phone. I think verizon should make it a requisite that you put the phones serial # in before you post a comment to show you have/had the phone.

Well everybody I decided to visit a local T-Mobile store today to check out the GS3 and I have to say it's simply amazing. I mainly went there to settle once and for all if I wanted the Pebble Blue version or not and I will say it looks gorgeous in person, and even though I love white I'm definitely glad I pre-ordered the Pebble Blue instead, just the texture of it gives it a much more premium look than the white IMHO. I would say it definitely looks more graphite than blue or purple to me which is good because otherwise I would've gone with the white, the only thing I don't like is the blueish metallic rim, I would've much preferred a metallic trim like on the white.

The display on this thing is amazing, I don't see how anyone could find any faults with it, the blacks are dark and the colors are vivid. Not only this but the phone itself was blazing fast, after going back to my car and pulling out my OG Inc I was definitely left in wanting. Only about one more week left guys, hang in there, this thing is amazing!

I was starting to have second thoughts about the sgs3 and this just made me feel a whole lot better about preordering one. Cant wait until it comes in, seems like the phone to have at least for the time being.

For those that did pre-order before yesterday, yep...good reminder. For those who didn't pre-order before yesterday, well...good reminder too (that you will be with the new Share plans).

I ran across that link while looking at metal cases, and just had to post it in memory of the lengthy debate in the thread.

If anyone wants to see a SIII in Raleigh, Best Buy at Brier Creek got a shipment in tonight. They have not put them out, but they have them. These were Sprint phones.

Come on Verizon!!!!!

These look like nice cases. I would like the grippy feel of the TPU.

Hello, everyone. I used to lurk on the Droid Incredible forums back in the day and now I have been lurking here as I wait patiently for my new SG3. My poor DInc was working perfectly up until a week ago when it decided it was going to go into loop reboot mode every morning until I pull the battery. It is making my wait for this phone all the more irritating. I just hope the phone hangs on until the new one gets here!

Thank you all for making the wait more bearable.

I got to check one out at the t mobile store the other day. I don't know nothing about android. I did like the phone, size, and feel of it. I also really liked the blue, it looked great. now I want mine even worse than before.

Now that the courts have granted an injunction against the nexus, how long before Apple goes after the gs3? And how many of you, like me, will never buy an Apple product out of shear principle?

Apple already lost the first round against the GS3.

I personally will never buy an Apple product, my wife has an iPad & a Macbook Pro & I can honestly say I have never put my hands on either one nor ever will.

Apple started that injunction in Feb. They have already been denied to include the GS3 in that injunction, so hopefully it will take another 6 months.

As long as I get my sgs3 in July I do not care if they get an injunction months later. Apple is doing everything they can since the next iphone is rumored to just be a longer iphone 4.

Actually, I just read somewhere that it will be called the 'jPhone'. The model's new emblem was of a pear, I think?

The jPhone?!?! I definitely don't want one of those!

Uh Oh. Hey Ches111, looks like you've already got competition!

How lucky are we that Apple wasn't allowed to include the S3 in their Nexus case? So does this mean I can charge an extra hundred bucks for my Nexus on ebay after my S3 gets here?

 

[NightxFall]

This is really random, but one of the the things im excited about on this phone is testing out the headphones that come with the phone. I'm a bit of a headphone junkie and I like in-ear headphones. JULY 10TH CANT COME SOON ENOUGH

Or - If Apple should end up winning -

You're Nexus will be deported by INS for "illegal entry" into the US.

First impressions. Didn't seem too big. Pebble Blue could probably been called Steel Blue or Steel Gray. It seemed to reflect purple at certain angles but I think that was because of the red/pink neon lights at the store, definitely no need to worry about a purple phone.

Used TuneIn Radio and A Online Radio with no streaming problem (phone showing 4G), but I would expect a`good signal in a city this big.

Camera had shutter sound off setting.
Speaker a bit louder than my Rezound, very clear.
Pinch to Zoom on Camera beats the butt off some slide bar zoom.
Thinness made reaching the menu button with thumb do-able with right hand (I have very small hands)
Can't necessarily say that it was noticeably quicker/more responsive than my Rezound (which is spec'd pretty good anyways)

I'd offer to test out any features you'd like to know about and report back, But with so many out there now you could probably just ask in the regular S3 forum

The Gnex is now a collectors item. I'll look for you on an episode of American Pickers or Pawn Stars in about 30 years. Don't forget to keep the original box & manuals as it will add way more to the value.
