**GrooveRite** · 06-30-2012, 02:01 PM

Which would provide quicker results.....web sales or telesales???

**GrooveRite** · 06-30-2012, 02:03 PM

How much did the 32gb cost for people who ordered in online? What was the total cost??

**storino03** · 06-30-2012, 02:05 PM

Well, telesales is obviously over the phone. All depends on phone sales traffic and whether or not ordering over on their website will be swamped.

NY Yonkers Here. Local store confirmed it for me on friday that it will launch tomorrow. No 32gbs at store only 16gbs . they didnt know when or if they would get the 32gbs model.Sprint may hold them at warehouse for abit to get direct sales from website for them.If the stores don't have them in a week then it get it online. Really wanted to go to store for it but i have to pay full retail for it so I'm forced to wait.

or i can use my vacation money

but wifey might kill me .... Thinking really hard...

For everyone who ordered online, did Sprint charge you all a $36 activation fee?!?! If so, anyway around this??? Cause thats BS!!!

I'm going to be in the bay area that day and am more than willing to make the drive out to SF to pick up a 32 GB version in-store if they have them, which is why I'm hoping for a 100% confirmation ASAP!

I'm planning on stopping by the store at about 10am, and I'll try to update the thread once I find out for sure what they have.

Good! I will do the same. My understanding so far is that they won't have them but I do hope for some crazy reason that they do. My money is ready, lol!!

From what I can gather, the Sprint Stores here in Sioux Falls, SD are getting their supply in on Sunday as well. But, has anyone been told you won't be sold the GS3 if you're a returning customer? That's what we're hearing from them here. They're reserving their stash for new customers only. Anyone renewing, like myself and my family, will have to wait until July 8th to get the GS3.

That's really disappointing to me.

I would think that's a rumor. Sprint will take the first customer with money and ready to purchase.

They want new customers, but I doubt they'd turn down a sale with you standing in the store ready to buy and they available stock that's not already spoken for.

Galaxy Note! Phone. Tablet. Planner. Notepad. eReader. The only device I need!

depends on the individual store. i remember seeing the same practice during the palm pre launch

It's not a rumor. We were told that when we called the Sprint Store. I don't think it's across the carrier, though. It could just be these stores. We'll stop in there anyway and wave our wad of cash around and see if we can get them to bite. Otherwise, we'll stop in at Best Buy to try our luck there.

Seeing that so many are interested do you guys think its going to be black Friday like lines at the stores, since sprint, radio shake, best buy/ comp USA, target and other stores will sell them tomorrow?

ALso want to know if there is a way around it!!

**shaggybuck** · 07-01-2012, 12:10 AM

Sprint chat told me earlier that I would be able to order online or by phone at midnight (I'm CST). Guess that's not the case.

**storino03** · 07-01-2012, 12:13 AM

Telesales is closed right now. They are open Sunday at 6AM Central, so less than 6 hours!

**storino03** · 07-01-2012, 01:46 AM

It's AVAILABLE right now on the Sprint website.

**storino03** · 07-01-2012, 01:55 AM

Anyone having login issues? Keeps saying invalid password, and then Access Denied due to too many login failures. O_o It's the same password and username because I requested it sent to my email. I even reset the password. What luck :P

Okay, finally went through. Got scared for a minute. Ended up using Internet Explorer as opposed to Chrome. Yay!

I've been refreshing the page since 12 and finally was successful about 30 min ago. Just ordered the Pebble 32GB, and it came to $274. Guess I'll search through some cases now
