Sunday, July 1 Launch (take 2)

[storino03]

What time on Sunday are phones generally available to order on Sprint.com? Is there a specific time or?

Radio Shack in Garden State Plaza Mall in Paramus NJ tried to sell me one today. But I showed him mine
Then he showed me his jellybean Nexus. I was still happy with mine. That thing is fat.
So they had them today and were selling.

I will be calling all of the Radio Shacks in my area tomorrow, lol.

I'm not holding out much hope though.......

Be sure that the ones they're selling before sunday are brand new. The rep at my local store in texas tried to sell me one that was returned from someone that had pre ordered.

They were going to use it for the display, but he would be willing to sell it. I wanted a new one fresh from the box, but he didn't have access to those until Sunday.

Needless to say I decided I'd just wait. So be sure if you get one before Sunday you actually see the rep break the seal on a new box, and you're not just buying one that was returned.

He did say warranty and all was in tact, and he had the box, but I want one that's brand new.

Just called the store in SF on Mission (Yerba Buena store), and they said they'd have both 16 and 32 GB versions, both white and blue, on Sunday.

Are you planning on going Sunday to pick one up? If so, can you respond to this thread ASAP on whether or not that store is going to have the 32 GB version in-store? I'm going to be in the bay area that day and am more than willing to make the drive out to SF to pick up a 32 GB version in-store if they have them, which is why I'm hoping for a 100% confirmation ASAP!

As for staying on topic, the rep at the Sprint store nearby where I'm located emailed me personally telling me that they already have some GS3s in stock but cannot sell them until Sunday July 1st (like every other store apparently). According to him, only 16 GB versions. Just sent a reply email asking for a count on colors and am waiting for a response. This is in Manteca, CA btw, if OP wants to add this to his original post.

My local corperate store says no 32gb, only online. Sprint has said from the begining that 32's were only going to be available online even after launch.

My local store (Indianapolis, IN) said they had few pebble blues and several marble whites. Forgot to ask about 32GB.

Got my email confirmation from Best Buy this morning at 8:15am. It read that I could pick it up Sunday. I called the store, they gave me the schpeel about how they can't sell it before the 1st, and that it isn't up to them, it's up to Samsung and the carriers. Which is complete bull**** because the previous "batch" of them were sold without regard to a specific day/time. It was first come, first served when it came to the initial pre-order shipments last week. Whatevs, I'll have it tomorrow. I hope they know I'll be waiting at the door at 10am, the bastages.

I go in to a store on Friday and guy A says "NO!", but come back Sunday. How do I know guy B on Saturday doesn't sell them all to people who ask? I know it happens, because people are getting them "early". Impossible to be fair about it... God forbid they stock-a-plenty to avoid the maulings.

I guess I'm ordering my 32G online then

 

[GrooveRite]

Which would provide quicker results.....web sales or telesales???

 

[GrooveRite]

How much did the 32gb cost for people who ordered in online? What was the total cost??

 

[storino03]

Well, telesales is obviously over the phone. All depends on phone sales traffic and whether or not ordering over on their website will be swamped.

NY Yonkers Here. Local store confirmed it for me on friday that it will launch tomorrow. No 32gbs at store only 16gbs . they didnt know when or if they would get the 32gbs model.Sprint may hold them at warehouse for abit to get direct sales from website for them.If the stores don't have them in a week then it get it online. Really wanted to go to store for it but i have to pay full retail for it so I'm forced to wait.:'( or i can use my vacation money but wifey might kill me .... Thinking really hard...

 

[GrooveRite]

For everyone who ordered online, did Sprint charge you all a $36 activation fee?!?! If so, anyway around this??? Cause thats BS!!!

I'm planning on stopping by the store at about 10am, and I'll try to update the thread once I find out for sure what they have.

Good! I will do the same. My understanding so far is that they won't have them but I do hope for some crazy reason that they do. My money is ready, lol!!

From what I can gather, the Sprint Stores here in Sioux Falls, SD are getting their supply in on Sunday as well. But, has anyone been told you won't be sold the GS3 if you're a returning customer? That's what we're hearing from them here. They're reserving their stash for new customers only. Anyone renewing, like myself and my family, will have to wait until July 8th to get the GS3.

That's really disappointing to me.

I would think that's a rumor. Sprint will take the first customer with money and ready to purchase.

They want new customers, but I doubt they'd turn down a sale with you standing in the store ready to buy and they available stock that's not already spoken for.

depends on the individual store. i remember seeing the same practice during the palm pre launch
