Got one!

[11B1P]

I stopped at my ATT store on my way into work this evening. They had a demo and was going to go look and see if they had any for sale. Told him the demo was fine to look at (I'm on Vzw) that I just wanted to see it in person and make sure it wasn't too big. All the YT videos talked about heavy it is, but compared to my Invicta I have at home, it was a lot lighter than expected. It's nice. Looking forward to ordering one.

Looks like our local stores each got one to sell today. Managed to snag one after work.

What store?

I honestly didn't expect to even see a demo. I had planned to just stop and order through the local store. The rep told me that she received one for demo and another for sale but someone had already bought it. So she looked in the system and found 3 other stores nearby each showing 1 available. When I arrived at the second store they had just put out the demo and didn't think they had another but the guy found it somewhere in the back.

There are a couple more AT&T stores in my area. I wonder if I should stop by and see if those stores have the Gear S3. What do I do though if they do have it? I told the guy at the AT&T store I went to to have it shipped there.

Got mine after bugging about 4 T-Mo stores in the area for a week LOL.

Love it, replaced my S2 Classic.

Got one too from T-Mobile. If anyone cares, it's very big...I have a 7-inch wrist and it looks kinda goofy. Like Mission big...and the software is identical to the S2 (in case you were expecting an overhauled design). Has a 22mm band (replaceable). I have a Pixel so not sure how MST/Samsung Pay will work but will see over the weekend.

Also the charging dock appears to be the same as the S2, so get them on sale before the price goes back up!

Went to 4 T-Mobile stores in Atl..none of them Received them in shipment to sell in store today..wanted to switch from my Gear 2 classic LTE to the S3 Frontier

I replace my T-Mobile classic as well. It has like the right amount of changes coming from the classic. Thought it would look to rugged but it's just the right amount of luxury rugged if that makes sense

This was 100% my plan today with T-Mobile and no dice.

Got mine! T-Mobile in the northern IL southern WI area says early December before they have them. Don't show them on the website either. Called all around. Bestbuy in Gurnee IL and the one in Skokie IL did soft launches today and had a few of the classic and non carrier Frontier models in stock. I got the classic. The frontier was the one I wanted until I saw it in person. To manly. Love the classic!

Very nice! The classic just looks great.

It's pretty sad and pathetic that T-Mobile has it and AT&T doesn't

Verizon does not even want to acknowledge its existence.

I expected that Verizon would have been leading the 'charge'. I don't know if this is out of character for them or if it's Verizon being ticked-off for the Note7 episode.

What baffles me is that AT&T and Verizon don't seem to have this watch and those who didn't pre-order the Gear S3 seem to have found it and bought it while the rest of us who pre-ordered it are still waiting. I thought the whole point of pre-ordering the watch was so that you would get it before the people who didn't pre-order it? What also baffles me is that AT&T was the first to advertise that they would be selling the Gear S3 and yet no one from AT&T seems to have a clue. The other thing that I don't understand is that it seems that T-Mobile got the Gear S3 and these other places don't have a clue. Looks like I won't be pre-ordering anything anymore in the future.

Just got the LTE Frontier from AT&T. I stopped in at the store to look at the display and they had 1! So I went ahead and grabbed it. They did the number synch for me. Now I get to play with it and set it up!

I'm going to keep all of this in mind before I let my enthusiasm reach critical mass for any product; until the Galaxy S8 becomes widely discussed. That will be the litmus test for my new resolve.

I think I'm going to do that. I'm pissed off that everyone who didn't pre-order it is getting it and those who did pre-order it are still waiting.

That's exactly what happened to me when the LG V20 was released......

Well, I just called another AT&T store in the area and asked if they had the Gear S3 in stock and he said no they're sold out. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Well done for getting one; what apps are available at launch? Any good running trackers?
