Still waiting in El Paso. Called the store this morning so far no news. Called Best Buy Mobile and they said they haven't gotten any official word yet but they are trying to get them out to the stores at the same time but some stores are getting them already.

I just called to double check but all the have are ones from sprint still.

Well here's to hoping to hear something tomorrow for the rest of us.

Pics of the email please? I thought I got the same thing but it was only a confirmation email that they received my order. Apologies if I come off condescending I'm just skeptical that they have arrived so early and why haven't others gotten this as well. I preordered from one of the busiest BB's here in Central Florida and no word from them as of yet.

Akaleus, what carrier? AT&T or Sprint

I ordered AT&T at Altamonte Springs,FL Best Buy. Today I stopped by and they had a few Sprint ones but still no AT&T and they had no information regarding AT&T.

Statusnone, would that be the BB at Millenia Mall? Gotta love this stormy weather!?

Perhaps tomorrow!

Yes indeed. Even called the one over on Orange Blossom by the FL Mall and they have no idea. Called a Best Buy in Winter Garden and also an old friend down in one of the Miami stores which is quite busy. No one has any clue and I really trust the people from BBM around here. I know they would give me any info they had.

Why I asked was because the pre-order conformation email doesn't come right away some of the time and can be mistaken/misread like they received the phone. I know because I got mine 2 days after pre-order and got all excited then read it one more time before I calmed down and they said they just got my order, wait to pick-up as in we'll email you again.


And yeah I'm not enjoying the weather... I'm having my brand new car repainted because some **** head kid thought it would be funny to key it so I'm stuck inside for the day! Gotta love Orlando...

Broke and pre-ordered from AT&T. Figured if it doesn't ship by the 28th and it really does come to Best Buy on that date I can just snag it from them and cancel my order online.

Hey did they give you any indication of when it would be shipped or arrive? just wondering because I am thinking of doing the same thing. at this point I don't even want to give BB my business.

Not yet because it's still pending. They do say "Within 10 business days" but from this forum on XDA people who ordered a couple of days ago are saying their's shipped today. Even if mine ships the day it comes to BB I think I'm just going to stick with AT&T because then I can just set it up at home myself instead of someone else. Here's the link to the forum btw, it's like 622 pages.

ATT Galaxy S3 Release Date/Info - Page 622 - xda-developers


EDIT: For some reason the order is in "Attention" which could mean a range of things according to a google search. I haven't been charged for the phone yet, just 2 authorization charges for $1 each so we'll see how it progresses.

Will do my friend. I have strep throat and no car right until tomorrow afternoon so I'll be watching the boards like a hawk since... I've pretty much watched every movie on Netflix I wanted to watch! Lol

I was supposed to receive mines today but I didn't and it seem's as if they canceled my order because when I check it's stll on backorder.

I called best buy today and the mobile associate actually searched google for a release date and he said that it's probably going to be on the 28th. I applauded the effort he gave for me but I felt bad for him because he told me that I had a better idea of what was going on than him. Not impressed with best buy's communication to its associates.

 

[pnizzle20]

I emailed someone who is an executive of Best Buy’s Executive Resolution team. Here is a small sample of his response back to me.

"Also, based on some additional research, it appears the ship date for the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S III has been delayed until June 28th. This delay is apparently associated with the phone’s high demand."

Obviously nothing we have not already heard 100 times, but at least it is coming from someone high up in the organization. If the ship date is not until the 28th, i wouldn't be surprised if this goes into next week.

Person in the store told me that they were coming in on the 28th butvthey wern't allowed to sell them until 7/1.

Not to sound entitled, but if the new date is true, they better not trying to screw me out of my $50 gift card I signed up to get. That card is the only reason I went through BB and not AT&T direct.

I am in the same boat as you .. I signed up for the $50 also. But on the flip side i am going to trade in my iphone 4 also . So i expect to walk in , get the phone a new case and all and still walk out with something on a gift card(my wife is a manager at best buy love the discounts!). Also just as money saving idea. I decided to call at&t today and went to the retention department and just basically told them I am going to be upgrading and was looking around between at&t and verizon and if i went with verizon i would not have to pay the upgrade fee. He plainly stated.. We can't waive the upgrade fee .. But what i can do is for the next 3 months give you a $20.00 credit each month on your bill.
