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

[jcp007]

At the rate that pre-orders are shipping, you may have a shipping email by Monday or Tuesday and your device by Tuesday to Thursday.

I think I will sit tight this week and do something towards the end of the week.

I called 2 and went to 2 different stores here in OKC... All of them said the phone won't be available in store until ATT can fill each store's individual allotment. In the meantime, they said ATT is fulfilling all preorders first. I ordered today and they said it would arrive Tuesday at the latest. I can't wait to get my hands on that sexy beast...

I'm very frustrated with this phone release. I have a line due for an upgrade July 2nd. According to the corporate store in my area, I could walk in there July 1st and use the upgrade. Of course, they don't have any in stock and now tell me they don't expect any until July 11th. I called AT&T, which gets me to the Premier Customer Support. They don't go by the same rule of letting someone upgrade any day in the month they are due. As a matter of fact, they say if my upgrade date is July 2nd, I can't use it until the 3rd! (WTF?) Of course, they would be happy to order one for me, but they were going to charge me $299 even though they wouldn't even be able to get it to me before July 3rd anyway! Losers! Well, I declined that generous offer. I really hate to order a phone without seeing a live one first anyway. At this point, I may just wait until the red one is released and then choose.

By the way, do you guys think the delay is from the lawsuits against Samsung by Apple (one guy at the corp store told me that) or is it just poor supply chain management? I didn't think anything was blocked except the GNex and the Gal Tab 10. Could Apple potentially block the GS3 soon enough to prevent me from getting one? Maybe I won't wait for the red one then!

Apple was not able to get an injunction on the GS3. You could make the supply chain issue as Samsung, like Apple, probably did not anticipate this level of interest in the GS3. I would be interested to see how many pre-orders for each carrier, the US, and then the total including the international pre-orders.

 

[CarlGalgano]

Im agreeing, I just think its high demand, and it makes sense they would fill pre orders before store allocations.

Are you able to pre-order the Pebble Blue, 32gb version? Does the SIII have an extended battery option out? Curious as I am debating on swapping my HTC ONE X for the SIII. Love the HTC but the battery life for me as a heavy user is a bit of an issue....

Have a great one...I am out...!

 

[jcp007]

Don't know about the extended battery but the AT&T GS3 is only available in the 16GB in pebble blue and white with red coming later. The GS3 has a micro SD slot that can handle up to 64 GB. I have a 32 GB for a total of 48 GB. With power save feature and remembering to use Task Manager to make sure apps are closed, battery life has been surprising good though not what I was used to with my BB9810.

 

[CarlGalgano]

The ATT version only comes in 16GB as far as I know. The international version (i9300) has 16/32/64GB options, but no LTE. It also has 1GB of RAM, but the ATT version has 2GB as well as a dual core chip. The international version has a quad core.

Telus (Canadian) will have an identical version as ATT but offers a 32GB version.

Negri Electronics has both the unlocked ATT and Telus versions, but they are preorder status as well and very pricey. Im considering the Telus version. I dont like ATT to know what phone I am using.

I went into my local ATT store today and they have no idea when they will have stock. Of course, my experience at this store is most of the people are clueless. Went to the Verizon store to see if they had the GNex updated to Jelly Bean and the guy says, "What's Jelly Bean?".. DOH!

Will keep my fingers crossed the ATT store gets some GS3's soon!

Hate to jump on the soapbox but pre-order and get it more quickly. The second soapbox is that Jelly Bean may see the light of day on the GS3 before the GeNex depending on the resolution of the injunction granted to Apple.

Im guessing the live chat support function is outsourced and they probably have less info than the store folks. When I go thru the process to upgrade a phone and select preorder for the S3, its says 'due today', but when I click to place the order, i get a pop up notice about the device should ship in 10 days.

Have you tried Amazon?

I tried to place an order in-store tonight at the AT&T store in Providence Place Mall in RI. The female associate was very willing to help, but when she went into the computer it wasn't allowing them to do direct fulfillment orders for the SG III. Another associate then chimed in to say that the system hasn't allowed them to place orders for the past three days. So, I was out of luck and told to call back in a few days to see if the system would allow it to go through.

When I pre-ordered on June 6, the rep had to put in the correct SKU number 69255. I was able to look it up on my order confirmation email.

So today is July 1st. Are the AT&T corporate stores selling them?

Not in south eastern Massachusetts. Physically drove to 3 At&t stores and none had any. One claimed mid-week, one said delayed indefinitely and the other wasn't sure when they would be available.

Interestingly Best Buy has them in their flyer today.

some of them actually have them too.. check the best buy mobile stores

 

[kdr2002]

If the Best Buy or Mobile store have then here, they aren't selling them. They lied to me of Friday and said they'd release on Sunday. They're even in the ad. Last night they even showed up online and in stock at every Best Buy from here to Houston.

They all have different excuses and new dates. What a joke.

 

[tlo07]

My local AT&T said now they won't have them in stock until 7/11 so I pre-ordered. My confirmation email says it will ship within 10 days. I sure the heck hope its not going to take that long!
