I would not care but I bought the Evo LTE on May 24th and want to trade it for the GS3. I only have 30 days so I really need this phone to come in. I'm not sure what my options are if it does not get here by the 24th.

+1 I'm in the same boat. My best buy in Milpitas ca said they will be in tomorrow for pre orders only. Just above someone said sprint won't be letting anyone sell until they say so but I'm thinking that's for the non pre orders.

I posted this on another posting. I called bb mobile today and the guy that took my order, said he was expecting my white 16gb gs3 on a truck tomorrow! Not sure how much truth is in that, but I hope he is right! I am in Texarkana, TX!

I just called Verizon and they said preorders should be delivered no later than 7/7 but most likely earlier, so in other words no one really knows and you can call 10 places and get 10 different answers. Lol.

Anyone else think that Samsung owes us an explanation on their failure to ship phones? I for one am kind of pissed. If you're not going to give me my phone on the day you said it would be here when I pre-ordered it for extra money, the least you can do is tell me why its not here. I'm disappointed in their customer service.

How can best buy sell a phone before it's available from the carrier itself?

I talked to the best buy employee and he told me that because best buy is a third party they are their own entity, if you will, and receive their shipments directly from Samsung... It's not like lets say Verizon ships them Verizon phones and makes them hold onto it until a certain time..

Been following this thread for a while, and thought I'd share my experience. I preordered on the 11th, and went to BB today in Folsom CA to see what was going on. The manager of the mobile department told me that the carriers are fulfilling their preorders first, and that it would be at least a week. I really hope he was just BSing me :D

Mine just told me to wait for the email and it's a drop shipment from UPS or FedEx and they usually come around Lunchtime so it could be any minute. They said i'll get the email and to wait for it, I guess it's kinda "get out of here you're annoying us" lol. I just want my phone!! They also said they'd tried to hold it past the 72hrs if I couldn't pick it up in time, but there's no guarantee. Just hoping it comes by noon or 1 at the latest as I have to be on the road by 2 to catch our train.

Keep us updated. I have one I have to pick up from them too so if you have luck, good chance I might have luck ;)

called corporate and they said when it got closer to the release the demand increased... It can only be tracked if you ordered online and not in the store

This happened with the European launch of the S III. I don't know whether we should be surprised (since Sammy already had this problem) or pissed off. I think both. By the time we Sprint customers are even able to order the S III (no more orders are being accepted), Sprint's version of the Note will probably be ready for launch. If my phone hadn't become such a piece of crap (with no support from HTC), I'd just wait for the Note.
