[bauer2]

No word from mine yet so I'll still hope for tomorrow.

I hope my store was wrong but if they were indeed notified by their Sprint Rep it wont be tomorrow

My store said they may 'unofficially' be getting stock tonight. I live in NYC so maybe Sprint is doing what t-mobile is and servicing the major cities first? Pure speculation on my part.

Hopefully it's something like that if they are delaying some. I'm in the DFW area and still no word on delays.

Just spoke with a representative at my bb in Aurora, CO and they say that their shipment arrives in the morning. Supposed to call after unloading the truck. Hopefully by noon I will have my phone!

Not sent from my Pre-Ordered Galaxy S3 as it is currently busy being taken to court by Apple, whose motto must now be "Don't innovate, just litigate"!

Location was a large store in Southern NH. They even called the rep while I was standing there to verify. I'm hoping she meant off the shelf stock and not preorders but I don't think so. I pre ordered on day 1 in store.

Lame! My Best Buy Rep in Aiea Hawaii called me about my pre order and said that the Sprint Rep told her the release date is now June 28th, and they can't sell the phone before then. I'm fuming! They are receiving their stock today or tomorrow. Pretty dirty of Sprint that they can ship out their pre orders, but not let retailers sell theirs.

Kinda hope they'll still let those that preorder get theres and not sell to general public, because I don't see how it's fair that we order with Best Buy and don't get it because we didn't order on sprint.com, we still preordered the phone it shouldn't matter where!

 

[jfenton]

I wasn't upset about the whole delay thing before now but if they get the phones in store and can't sell the preorders I will then be pissed. I had three EVO 4G LTE's that all failed and I had to return them and go back to a cracked screen S1 spare while waiting for this phone on 6/21. They should do what they did with the EVO 4G LTE and release the preorders and then the rest on the regular launch day.

I agree if they have them in stock they should give the preorders I mean we did preorder them same as the people did with Sprint directly we should get them tomorrow. I'm gonna try calling my Best Buy tomorrow like they told me to. They told me they should have it to give me tomorrow, and they were really nice and know I'm going on vacation so I really hope they can work with me here.

Make sure you arm yourselves with proof that others are receiving their phones from sprint.com. Should make for a better case with the BB manager.

Good luck everyone! God speed...

Sprint shipping out phones won't mean squat for Best Buy customers. From what I was told Sprint is restricting everyone else from launching at the moment, preorders or not.

Just called my local BestBuy in Westbury NY, they said that they will have it tomorrow for pre-orders only.

I just spoke to mobile rep at BB (Houston). No S3's came in for any carrier. He saw something on-line that said July, but that may not have been for the Sprint model. When they get them the email will come. Wife is seriously tired of rockin her Evo 4G Shift.

My local BB told me the same thing...Tomorrow (6/22/12)

However, a one day hold up on the pre-orders seems a little odd to me. The sales person I spoke with didn't have any other info other than the "new" release date.

Oh well....the wait continues.

so it's looking more and more like I won't get my preorder and have to wait forever to get this phone since if I can't pick it up tomorrow, which unless it's there when they open the doors at 10 I won't be able to, then I'm going to lose my Pre Order because of the dumb 72hr hold they have that I won't be able to pick it up in time for that. I'm calling local Sprint Stores on the off chance they might have them, but if they don't and I can't get it at Best Buy tomorrow wonder if they'll hold it til I come back if I talk to them?

Just called my best buy store and was told it hasn't shown up in his inventory and that he's anxiously awaiting for his too, Virginia Beach VA.
