Happy Ship Day everyone!! :)

[kjnangre]

I'm currently trying to cancel my preorder cause I can get it in a store faster.

There have been many (conflicting) rumors about when the S3 will be in store, but no official word. I don't think cancelling your pre-order is wise yet.

Unless, of course, your pre-order is ahead of mine in the queue, in which case, please do cancel!!

I'm currently trying to cancel my preorder cause I can get it in a store faster. This is ridiculous IMO. If you can't ship when you say then don't give a date at all!! Right now on phone with ATT and they are telling me I didn't even place an order yet they have my money on hold, gave me an order #, and sent me confirmation email! Can we say MORONS?!?!?!?

I would pump the brakes on that. No one knows anything official for sure yet. Why do you think the store date woudlnt be pushed back if the online preorder date ends up getting pushed back? Why would stores have them before the people who ordered them at the earliest possible time? That doesnt make sense.

Well, bottom line is they are saying my order was never placed (yet i can view the status online) and they offered to order again. I said no because they already have a hold of 216.99 and I don't want them to hold another 216.99. I think I will be jumping ship to verizon when theirs is released in july

I definitely wouldn't cancel a pre-order based on an internet forum rumor.

Well, at least in my case I'm okay. The way at works (at Amex at least), is that when they get a pre-authorization for a charge on your card, they get an authorization number that is good for that charge, even though it was for a previous card number. So, when AT&T does ship the phone, the charge will go through. I feel better for that.

Well after i saw your post i went ahead and checked my Credit Card where the transaction had been pending since the 13th when i ordered it and was there even as recently as this morning, but now its been removed and i called CC company to question if they showed any pending charges that i could not see but sadly they just gave me the ol', "if a merchant doesn't submit a charge within 5 days of placing the hold it automatically falls off" speal, so i think for mine at least its safe to say "my phone order is moving backwards.." lol

Not too upset becuz i only ordered the SGS III so i could compare it to my (white- Int'l version : ) G-Note that arrived from Amazon last week...

Since you get 30 days to decide, i wanted to make a full scale comparison and see which phone i want to commit to for the next year or so...

But i really have got to say even with the 5.3 inch size, with each passing day i fall more in love with the G-Note, so there's a good chance when i FINALLY get the SGS III i might be sending her right back from whence she came....

Hey BTC,

Congrats on your GNote! I have the GNote also. Had the International and sold it getting ready for the SGSIII. I also have the ATT version. I do not plan on totally replacing my GNote, I love it too much but wanted to have the latest and greatest. I plan on switching them out regularly. Can't wait to get the SGSIII in my hands to take it for a spin though!

any one know when the thing is showing up in the store?

Everything is still speculation and rumors at this point unfortunately.

I recently called AT&T because I had to update my order. Some tool stole my credit card number and AMEX cancelled my card (there were some interesting charges...). I called and asked to update my order with a different credit card, and the rep said that they would have to cancel my existing and create a new one. He said that would put me at the back of the line, but he said I would get upgraded to overnight shipping. Yay.

I told him to leave it alone and I'd call when the order failed. As an aside, I was joking with him about the calls for the SGS 3 order status. I asked if he would rather have 5 calls about the order status versus 1 from a customer who was just throttled to EDGE speeds because he exceeded his download limit. He said he'd take the calls about the order status over a 20 minute rant about how crappy AT&T is.

An observation: AT&T is counting on this level of excitement. Trust me, the upper level management loves this level of interest and you can bet they know what kind of calls they are getting. The reps might think it sucks, but they should realize that the more phones (and corresponding service plans) that AT&T sells with the SGS 3 launch, the more secure their jobs are.

I definitely understand the level of excitement for some people here. In the overall perspective of things, does it matter? No. Does it matter if you get excited about your new car? No. A lot of guys/gals here are using a 2 year upgrade here, and they want to get the phone so they can see if they like it within the 30 day window (versus the 14 day for Verizon).

I am in the phone nerd 12 step rehab program. I've bought the following phones on launch day:

SGS II, SGS II SkyRocket, Samsung Galaxy Nexus (international order), and the HOX (international order) and some others I've forgotten.

Does it get a little silly with the calls? Sure, but it's part of the game and AT&T loves it. All of you ragging on the people who are excited about it, shut up and stop reading this thread if it bothers you so much. I'll just be glad to get my phone before it's in the stores because that jerk stole my credit card number.

Sorry about your CC, but I agree that At&t is probably giddy on the excitement level of this phone. They have only seen this for iphone. This proves to them that there is life after Apple. It is time to give Android some well earned respect!

Wirefly posted in the sprint forums that they have been notified of a delay until the 28th by Sprint. OK, so its not ATT, but I am sure they will be delayed too.

OK, feel better. I don't mind waiting, just want to know!

When I recieved my pre-order email it did not state an acutal date as some of you state on or before the 21st. But I pre-ordered on the 12th and my email stated " Your equipment has been reserved and is expected to ship within the next 3 to 5 business days. So it seems they have or had good intentions of shipping the phones on or before the 21st since the earlier pre-orders stated that date. But the fine print is the out for all of this

 

[anon(823984)]

I Just got a ship confirmation on the order page!

oops, sorry, maybe not. Just wondered if saying that alone was enough to get a rise out of anybody..

Multiple posters confirming.

This is the answer I got when I called the store about my order. Something about being held up until 6/28.

Call to the automated line says backordered, web site says backordered. Checking acct says I still have $212 in it that should go to the phone. Unless there's a ton of shipping happening tonight we may be waiting.

(I know VERY well how shipping works. These are all sitting on a skid, labeled, and ready to go. Honestly the skids are probably in trailers waiting to be picked up by which ever carrier is taking them. If not.... we're definitely waiting until next week.)

Check out what TMobile is doing-- 27th in small towns, 21st for Top 29 Markets. Its possible AT&T is doing something similar, thats why some people are hearing a later date. Maybe they are prioritzing by when you preordered...

They have said first ordered first shipped since day one. But who knows when it starts.

i placed my order on june 9th. just called the 866 number, had to speak with a rep because im not a premier member. she asked for my phone number, my billing address, and my last 4 digits of my ss#. she was then able to look up my oder without giving her my order number. she told me i preorder the samsung galaxy s3 marble white, and that it left the warehouse, and is ready to be shipped, as soon as it is shipped i will be sent with a tracking #. she told me my package will arrive on the 21st of june (thursday). i checked my bank account and they havent took out the funds yet.
