Any luck at your local AT&T store -today- (non pre-orders)??

**jeffreii** · 06-20-2012, 09:24 PM

At some point I was thinking AT&T would either confirm or deny that I should go to an AT&T store tomorrow and try and pick one of these up!

I didn't preorder because I wanted to visually inspect and also compare white/blue in person.

I'm totally prepared to have to wait longer than those who preorderd...it would just be nice to know whether or not tomorrow is the day. If it was, I'd be there when the door opened. Without any notice I'd want to wait and call first...come on AT&T speak up!

Only one way to find out.....

**kenji117** · 06-20-2012, 09:52 PM

I called my local store today and they said that they haven't even been given a release date yet. Really wish I pre-ordered now but I was trying to get a friend their commission.

Really only 1?

1) Go there in the morning and find out.

2) Call in the morning and find out.

3) Read someone's experience on these forums tomorrow morning.

4) AT&T releases a statement saying that the phones will or won't be available for retail purchase tomorrow!!

If the phones arrive in-store tomorrow, before preorders ship for 90% of customers, I think the Android community would collapse in on itself.

Seems like you pretty much answered your question. Didn't really need anyone's opinion here because you'll go or call anyway because it'll be eating you up inside

Or at least collapse in on ATT.

Phones should be ahead of friends on priority list.

There was a statement that they would release a week late on AT&T.

There has not been any such statement from AT&T. They are being deliberately ambiguous.

**jcp007** · 06-21-2012, 06:14 AM

The delay could be due to the vast number of pre-orders and the timing of the pre-orders to make the June 21st date. After all, there were 9 million internationally. You might get lucky and snag one not designated as a pre-order like mine which is being delivered to the store.

**jeffreii** · 06-21-2012, 06:42 AM

Haha well a few hours then until I go steal someone's preorder phone from corporate.

Ok. I apologize. I saw some "reports" that it was delayed. I don't want it too be. I'm ready to buy it, full price, this weekend.

**cwoms167** · 06-21-2012, 07:51 AM

I'm also ready to buy at full price sold my note and using some cheap pan tech phone lol but hoping someone cancels a pre order or the store gets more than expected

For what it's worth. I just stopped at my local corporate store and the guy said they didn't get any at all.

**timberga** · 06-21-2012, 08:21 AM

I called last night to my local store and they said they won't have them in store for sale until the 28th.

**jeffreii** · 06-21-2012, 08:50 AM

Called both corporate stores near me this morning and both said not yet and no ETA.

**monkeyluis** · 06-21-2012, 09:29 AM

Now it's official :

I figured what the hell and tried a third, further away, corporate store. Same story!

I'll probably try each store again in a few hours see if the story has changed!

**monkeyluis** · 06-21-2012, 12:48 PM

I just called 2 stores. 1 said Monday and 1 said 2 weeks.

**cgardnervt** · 06-21-2012, 02:38 PM

Local ATT store here said Monday. But I did pre-order with them.

**minnick** · 06-21-2012, 03:56 PM

yup same here. just got the at&t free text:

"Due to manufacturer supply constraints of the 4G LTE Samsung Galaxy S3, your new smartphone will now arrive no later than Monday, June 25th."

ahhhhhhhhh damnit

**matt9294** · 06-21-2012, 05:43 PM

The two stores that sounded most reliable said the 28th by me. I haven't heard monday yet though. From the stores I've called so far I've heard the 28th (twice), Sunday, next Monday, and they have no clue. When I called Bestbuy they said whenever they get the shipment, which they didn't know.

**fourthchirpin** · 06-21-2012, 09:30 PM

I went to the store I usually deal with and the dude told me it was suppose to come out today but, they pushed it back a week..... he gave me his number and told me to call before.
