On May 18, Android Central reported that Samsung had received 9 million preorders of the GS3.
At the time many thought these were merely carrier orders, and there was one suggestion that the carriers were a bit too optimistic in their sales projections, and might wind up having devices sitting on the shelf collecting dust.
Based on these reported delays it seems the carriers around the world have depleted their initial stock, and are now either in a position of ordering more phones or Samsung is still trying to catch up with filling the 9 million previous orders?
Either way, 9 million phones is a lot of phones. I'm waiting to see how many GS3's they wind up actually selling.
