release dates

[jonpearson]

T-Mobile 6/27
ATT 6/28
Verizon 7/9

Yeah T-Mobile pushed the date back sorry

WRONG!

Or updated at least. Tmobile wont be getting theirs until the 27th now. Yay! Everyone is getting closer and closer to the verizon date! I don't want to be last.

Edit: Also check other forums. People on sprint have tracking numbers they say they are getting theirs tomorrow. So 6/21 for sprint.

Looks like they are having a supply and demand issue, per Samsung Facebook page..

Samsung Support Hi! I want to sincerely apologize for the frustration caused. Samsung has seen unprecedented demand for the Galaxy S III in North American market. As a result, there is a possible/slight delay providing our carrier partners with a...s many devices as had hoped at initial launch time. We are working around the clock to catch up to the demand and anticipate that our supply will be caught up within the next few weeks. Sorry for the inconvenience, we will update you as we receive more information. Thank you!

Still doesn't explain why people from Sprint and ATT have the phone in their hands today, while we gotta wait almost 3 more weeks before the first shipment..

it's a complete joke

Thats not samsungs fault, that is verizon. They need the phone for an additional 2 weeks to have time to load all of their bloat on it. Remember all those stupid vzw/blockbuster/amazon etc.. apps you have already when you turn on your new phone? Yeah verizon gets paid to put all that $h!t on there before you get it.

T-Mobile had some. Just not everywhere. The big markets got in some shipments today.

Wasn't blaming Samsung, was blaming Verizon..but the reason is bullcrap when one whole carrier hasn't decided to release it yet. I'm just tired of getting jerked around, and I wish Verizon would just come out and give a reason why they are holding out on their phones for 18 days past the date Sprint, T-Mobile and ATT customers got their phones

These were the answers I got when asking VZN Support

VZW Support ‏@VZWSupport
No, I can't speak for another company. Did you receive email confirmation stating 7/9 after placing your order? ^MSF

VZW Support ‏@VZWSupport
The other phones don't run on the nation's largest, most reliable 4G LTE network. Some don't even have LTE. ^MSF

Please don't give me that bullcrap, I don't need the company line, just say it's because we are adding things to the phone for "enhanced experience" while it's not, at least they told us the reason

Someone else posted this on another forum

"I called Verizon to see what they say about the shipping date and the Rep with a special title named Bianca, said the first batch of pre orders will ship 7/9 and I asked her why they were taking so long when ATT and sprint are shipping them today and she said Verizon is adding exclusive special features and software to make the phone better. They are adding freaking bloatware to ruin this wonderful phone. Just thought I would let everyone know."

That is a copy paste. They obviously aren't telling everyone that though.

Buddy of mine was just able to preorder his through tmobile finally. They wouldn't give him a estimated ship date though except "around the 27th".
