I did the same thing; went from Infuse to Skyrocket, not expecting the S3 to come out this soon. I expected the S3 wouldn't be in the US for months. I had to return the S2 yesterday. Now, I've just got a phone for phone calls only.

Best buy is horrible, they have the worst customer service, the employees tell you what you want to hear, thats why I swore 5 years ago NEVER TO BUY anything at best buy,
Sorry to hear about everybody's bad experience, but I am not at all surprised .

In my case, I don't think it's Best Buy; I think at&t is keeping all the phones they have for their own sales. Sprint S3s are shipping to Best Buy customers, just not at&t. Also, the rep at Best Buy told me these preorders are shipped directly to the store via UPS, not via their normal truck deliveries. Hopefully, we'll start to get ours soon, possibly Monday or Tuesday.
I have to agree. I heard that somewhere as well; but I don't think Best Buy should have allowed the to happen. They should have tried to keep their phone stock to be able to get them to customers on time.
Still nothing here. Same song and dance from Best Buy. The received the Sprint ones, no word on AT&T models.
And Best Buy won't tell you what's actually going on because they don't even know what's happening.

The demand has really outstripped supply for the launch of this phone, and it seems like they were overly optimistic about the launch date as well, leta not forget the S4 is supposed to be in short supply for a majority of the summer and fall....
Best Buy isn't screwing people out of anything, they're merely waiting for devices to come in from the supply chain... It sounds like all retailers are trying to be honest, or giving a best guess as to dates units will come in. I have some serious beefs with Best Buy, but the mobile stores really do go above and beyond.
I *really* want my GS3 the next few days I have off, but I realize that's probably not going to happen as I ordered on Thursday. If anything I all be productive around the house and not a slave to it!

Best Buy sucks man....it's going the way of the dinosaur. They have no pull selling phones, they aren't the carrier.
I'm sorry but I have to defend best buy mobile here. Their people always try their hardest to help out. I'm buying mine straight out, full price. I really hate AT&T's insurance so I wanted to buy from Best Buy. They offer it for 700 and AT&T offers it for 550. The manager of BBM went out of her way to price match guarantee it when they get it for me.
I used to work for Best Buy, they make almost no money on these phones so I know they're taking a hit by doing this for me but I spend a tremendous amount of money there and they just kept a loyal customer for life by doing this.
Don't think for a second they don't want your money. They want to sell these just as much as you want to buy it. AT&T is just selfish as ****. This is their product after all.

I called my local best buy again Saturday and they said "We're hoping we get some by the end of the month." lol. This was in Rogers, AR. I called the best buy 1-800 and they said they were completely in the dark on it at the moment.
Over the past week, I have been told 3 different scenarios by 3 different employees at the same BB mobile store. Obviously they have no clue what is going on. (Columbus, OH)
I have been getting the run around all week from Bestbuy but I did hear that att took all the pre orders and only sent them out to att customers who ordered online and no retailers witch is bull crap it doesn't matter were used pre order from u should get your phone early like everyone else I ordered on the 7th at Bestbuy and still no phone my friend in the same town ordered on the 18th and well he got the phone Friday but he ordered from att online this is just ridiculous
I just saw a real S3. A co-worker of mine walked into a t-mobile store and got an S3. No pre-order at all. ...still waiting on Best Buy.
I also pre ordered mine on the 7th at BB. I ordered mine in Yonkers, NY. Where did you order yours??
Just a heads up for you at&t folks, when I asked best buy when the Verizon version is coming they said it may be the day they are getting the at&T version which is the 28th for my store.

I Preordered mine from BB on the 7th too. I am located in Chicago suburb. I called BB again yesterday and was told they were held up in customs. They should have them in the next couple of days. I also called AT&T corporate store yesterday and was told if I came in and ordered from them I would have it by Thursday....I've been so tempted to order online or in the AT&T store but I am afraid that BB shipment will come in as soon as I do...Lol :-\
My brother ordered one with AT&T on thursday in store and he's supposed to get it either today or tomorrow. I ordered with BB on the 7th and still have no idea when I'm getting it. I'm calling BS on this one.
Ordered mine in Wichita Falls TX about 2 hours from Dallas I read on xda that Dallas bedtbuy employees bought some of the pre orders that came in and if they did that is sorry
It is such a shame that they are still using the "held up at customs" line.
I would be pissed if that were me!!! I stay on top of them even though they say they will send out an email when they get the phones because a friend of mine actually pre ordered the evo 4g lte from the same BB location as I did and never received an email from them. Luckily she knows a BB employee at a different location and he checked the system and told her that her phone was there because they would've sold her phone to someone else.
-Long story short, I don't trust them to send me an email when the phone comes in so unfortunately I will be calling them every few hours to make sure I get my phone.
I was told I was only one who preordered at the best buy mobile store that I use... To add to their false stories I had a guy from the local best buy say it had something to do with the fact that apple is trying to sue Samsung over the siri thing.... LOL
