Good bye Palm Pre... Hello GS3 <3

I got rid of my Pre almost two years ago when I upgraded to the Galaxy Epic 4G.

Now, I'm anxiously waiting for the two years to expire so I can get the S III. But, I may also switch carriers from Sprint. I have the 4G but we still don't have 4G in Dayton, OH. I'm thinking of switching to T-Mobile who do have 4G in our market. Any thoughts/

...as gadget people, we are so sad. The device will get here, when it gets here :)

This is coming from a guy who was in line at 01:15 in the morning once, to get the iPhone 3GS.

Oh BIG Red (Verizon). You are supposed to be so much better then everyone else and yet instead of having some kind of exclusive early release date over your competition you release it after all of them (head shaking moment). I really hope that you aren't planning on screwing over customers who upgraded and kept unlimited data by holding off the release date and forcing us to change our plan after the fact, I feel that you can't do that but I don't think you are above it anymore.

Don't feel to bad about waiting for the iPhone 3GS, I once did the same thing for a Blackberry Storm and man was that phone a flop!

I would stick to your unlimited w/Sprint, I read somewhere that Dayton will be getting LTE early next year. It's a long-ish wait, but I'd rather stay on Sprint's unlimited, than get 4G that gets throttled slower than 3G after a couple gigs.

Well here I am again. Have to wait until next week to get my S3 from Sprint while my wife has been playing with her quad core Pebble Blue S3 from Claro PR. What I want to get to is that I am from Puerto Rico and earlier called the local T-Mobile store just for the fun of it and guess what? When I asked the Rep if the S3 had arrived: Yes, only Pebble Blue for 249.99. How many you got left? All of them, we have not sold one!! She laughed as I cried in the background thinking of the peoples ignorance as to what they were missing and the fact that I still have to wait until next week.

I've had mine since 21st June. But, out of curiosity, I just called my local AT&T shop, and they have the S III device(s) and accessories for it today!

I might pay them a visit to see if they have any Speck Product cases.

I agree. Still no word on US cellular branded phones. I was hoping it would happen before black Friday. But nothing yet.
