Just got off the phone with the mobile manager of my local best buy and he enlightened me to the fact that there was a shipment of Samsung galaxy s3's that are on a UPS truck headed for that store within the next couple of days. He didn't say if it was being over-nighted but I've got my suspicions that he didn't want me to be even more disappointed than I already am and tried not to put a real date down for it to be in my hands.
Best Buy Preorders Any News?

- Start date
me too!!! I should be getting this phone for free after i trade in my iphone and get my 50 dollar gift card from the promotion that i signed up for a few months ago. Thats the only reason i didn't cancel my order with bb and get the phone from at&t.
On another note, i called one of the bb locations in my area and they told me that a truck is coming on thursday with the pre ordered phones but it most likely will come at night so on friday the phones will be ready to get picked up. I hope i can get my phone before then but if i can definitely have it by friday then i can deal with that.
Got my phone today, AT&T from Best Buy. This morning I emailed corporate offices and about mid-day I got a call from a Best Buy employee(not a store employee). The email was forwarded to him. He was great and so was the BB I had to go to to get it.
My email stated that BB and it's customers were getting the shaft because AT&T direct/online preorders were being processed before BB preorders even though the BB orders were put in before the AT&T orders.
He did not realize the problems existed. He specifically mentioned the links I provided to BB/AT&T threads on androidcentral and xda-developers. Hope it helps others.
I got a really nice case which I recommend people take a look at. It's backless, just wraps around the edges, has a very light but grippy feel. The phone with this case feels better than my previous Infuse and S2. Overall, the phone feels great in my hand. It just fits.
Very responsive, camera has a great picture. Here is a pic of the case I took with the phone

Most phones go to Best Buy through UPS or Fedex, not on the standard truck. At least not until they are much older. This was most likely a way to appease you and/or buy them some time because they really have no idea.

I pre ordered a Pebble Blue last week with Best Buy, and with the typical run around from this thread happening to me I was fed up and checked out AT&T.
Ordered around 3pm CST, 7pm I got a shipped email, and tracking says I will get it at home by 3pm tomorrow, less than 24 hrs!
Edit: I am located near Mpls MN.

I will be calling my local ATT stores tomorrow, whom ever gets the phone first will get my business.. at this point its looking like an ATT store.
na man, still getting the same run around, they have no idea whats going on. you think i should just go order from an att store?
It's all up to you but if they still don't know what's going on it's worth a try.
I'm seriously annoyed at this point. My store in El Paso doesn't know squat. I was thinking about just ordering from AT&T at this point but the guy I just spoke to said it may not ship for another 3-5 business days so what's the point. I'm going to call my BB again to see if they are planning to hold them til the first because if that's the case I might take my chances with the AT&T store.
im in charlotte, and I am wondering if people that have already received shipping for orders they made has anything to do with their geographic location?? if not i think i am just going to go into the att store today make my order.
this is just pure comedy now, so i gave up on BB and went to ATT to order the phone. after about 20 minutes of the employees not being able to figure out why the oder will not go through, they come back and tell me " we figured it out, it won't let us put it in because we are getting the phone tomorrow." i was like wow, and left.......
I am getting a white one right now at BB non-preorder. They extras for preorder so I preordered in store and got an email 5 min later saying it was ready for pickup.

I had the same issue and I turned out to be correct SKU for the GS3.
Sent From My Samsung Galaxy S III Device
I was told they had a few in stock but they could only sell pre-orders. They said if I came in and pre-ordered I should get a pickup notice in a few minutes.It worked just like they said it would. NW Suburbs of Chicago. This is now from my new white S3. My last post was from my 3gs in store while this new phone was getting activated.
