All I can say is WOW. Samsung wants to sell some phones, and I'm ready for them to take my money.

Phil,

When will you be doing an unboxing video?

**20blks** · 06-04-2012, 09:25 AM

I'm sure ATT will make an announcement at some point today

**bellamyepl** · 06-04-2012, 09:26 AM

I'm hoping that since at&t hasn't officially announced that the delay might be because they have something a bit more planned for it!?.. But don't you dare change it for the worst at&t. don't even think about it!

**GrooveRite** · 06-04-2012, 09:35 AM

I am DEFINITELY pre-ordering this tomorrow!! Just in time for my July upgrade!! Been waiting so damn patiently, lol!

**MooPenguin32** · 06-04-2012, 09:52 AM

It's nice to see that the Galaxy S3 will be available shortly after it's May 29th debut. Wouldn't it be nice if things were this way for all phones going forward?

Phil has repeatedly printed that he doesn't do unboxing videos! And, I agree with him there. I have yet to see a box that increased screen resolution, made apps run better or caused the phone to have more features. It's just a box and who cares how the phone comes out of it's packaging.

Show me a video of the phones features, screen resolution, and how those features enhance the user experience and I'll watch that. Show me an unboxing video and I'll pass on that!

He stated facts and opinion, while you had to resort to getting personal. If you can't handle a discussion, then don't have one.

Wow, you have a lot of patience...

I got rid of my Palm Pre (day 1 user) last year for the NS4G when it came out on Mother's Day.
