    Got one!

    I walked into my Best Buy this morning, they had 5. I got 2 of them. I just got an email from Best Buy apologizing for my pre-order delay and they sent me a $20 gift code. I am just going to return the ones coming in the mail and use the gift code, so I guess it all worked out.

    Few Questions

    You can store 4GB of music on the watch itself. No need to be online.

    US launch Friday, Nov 11?

    I posted in Reddit and someone from the metro Detroit area also said the Best Buy people told him January 20th. Ugh!

    US launch Friday, Nov 11?

    I went to a different Best Buy in Dallas and he said they are not coming until January 20th, 2017! :confused:

    some initial general questions...

    If you aren't really entrenched in the iPhone or its ecosystem and you really want the Gear S3 badly enough, just switch to Android. Besides the GS7, there are a bunch of really great ones out there. (Pixel, HTC10, V20, One+3, etc...)

    US launch Friday, Nov 11?

    I went to a large Best Buy store in Dallas, TX and they told me they will not have any S3's on Friday. Samsung has told them they don't know when it will be out due to supply constraints. He also said they don't know when it is shipping. I may go Thursday night just to check again and make...

    some initial general questions...

    When you first turn on the watch, you need Gear Manager to activate the watch. Maybe you could buy a cheap Android phone like someone else said or switch to the S7.

    some initial general questions...

    I would not get an S3 with an iPhone. You need the Samsung Gear Manager app working properly for everything to function as it should. I am sure that there are some workarounds, but I still don't think it is worth the hassle. My 2 cents.

    is it possible to order and receive the S3 by 11/23? (giving it as a birthday present)

    I went to my local BB today in Dallas and they said they will not be getting any on the 11th as advertised. They told me that Samsung has informed them that there are supply constraints. He doesn't even know when it will ship or when the store will get them.

    The Gear S3 Frontier has only one Model (LTE)

    Someone on Reddit called Samsung CS and they said it was indeed two different models. The more expensive one is LTE equipped.

    For Walmart - Switched from Samsung Pay to Walmart Pay app, works great...

    I agree with you on all counts. Way too many steps to do. What I do sometimes with Walmart Pay is that as soon as the cashier scans the first item, you can initiate Walmart Pay and be done by the time they finish scanning all your items, but I usually have it ready to go when I am standing in...

    For Walmart - Switched from Samsung Pay to Walmart Pay app, works great...

    I have a feeling that eventually Samsung Pay is going to stop working at all Walmarts and Targets. I've been using Walmart Pay for the last 2 weeks and it has worked every single time. There are like 2 extra steps involved, but at least there is no awkwardness anymore wondering if Samsung Pay...
