Not meant to Hijack this thread, but I was reading all the comments on this, and for the users in a few selected areas the LTE will be up and running on the 15th of July.

I know better now to pre-order with my carrier.

**Clocks** · 06-27-2012, 02:23 PM

Well this is welcome news, just a few more days without a phone

**fasnic** · 06-27-2012, 02:29 PM

Mine was what they posted on Facebook... Looks like the changed things in placing the announcement.

This is good news. My wife got her's from Best Buy this past Sunday, and I have been waiting patiently for mine to arrive at Radio Shack. They called me yesterday and said that it will be in store Friday, but, a chance it could be in today since they receive their shipments on Thursdays.

It was confusing to decipher, but after Googling it, several sources state that the 32GB will only be available thru Web Sales, Sprint Business Sales, and Telesales . I was going to go to the store, but it seems I'll have to wait yet a bit more.

So come this Sunday (July 1st), I should just wake up and go online and order it instead of looking for it in stores?!?! I'll call some stores and check just in case and if I have no luck, I'll order it online.

Yup, me too! I feel your pain! lol Sunday isn't far off at least!

**chaunsey** · 06-30-2012, 03:25 PM

i want to get mine from best buy for the lack of mail in rebate and cause im thinking of dropping the sprint protection plan for the BB one, now that they jacked up the price.

best buy is annoying me though cause no one seems to know anything, half the time they dont know what im even asking about and the ones that do say they wont know anything until the actual day they have them on sale, this is so frustrating.

im almost tempted to go to the sprint store instead, but i really dont want to.

**Ingry79** · 06-30-2012, 04:41 PM

Do you guys think it will be crazy lines everywhere tomorrow for these phones?

**sly** · 06-30-2012, 05:00 PM

I was at a Sprint store today and they had no display or dummy phone. In fact, they had no GS3 signage anywhere. I asked if they had one I can look at. They said, "We're not supposed to sell it until tomorrow but sure, I can let you see one." So he went to the back and returned with a brand new pebble blue still in the protective screen cover and no battery. He said they can't turn it on unless I buy it. OK, well, that was useful. Guess I can't see if its 3G is better any than my NSG4.

**chaunsey** · 06-30-2012, 07:36 PM

best buy in waldorf, MD finally confirmed they've got em in stock for tomorrow!

my brother and i will be going in and getting ours, i probably cant make in right in the morning, i hope there isnt huge demand in my area.

my HTC hero has been a trusty companion, but its time for an upgrade.

huzzah!
