Got my SGS3 this morning, 2 days ahead of schedule. My phone shipped on the 5th and the expected delivery date was for the 9th, woke up to my dogs going ape barking at the door and i had a feeling it was FedEx. I've been relatively patient through this whole ordeal and it is so worth it. I'm kinda glad Verizon kept hush hush about everything and not get everyone's hopes up by surprising us with an earlier release date and then pushing it back to a later date like the other carriers have. Good Job Verizon for keeping your word.And a big thanks to FedEx for not stealing my phone lol. For everyone else who is impatiently/patiently waiting, your time will come and it'll be awesome!
