[Q] Samsung Galaxy SIII at AT&T? - Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)

Hello all,
I was just wondering when the expected release date of the SIII on AT&T in the US was. I know there has been very little, if any, official word on the subject, but I am sure the experts here could make an accurate assumption for release.
Thanks,
~Bucky

Wouldn't expect any specific date confirmation for a couple weeks. Im thinking last week of June hopefully. Possibly price ranges of $199-$399 respectively buuuuuuuut thats just my guess hahaha

If anyone hears anyting post it up.

I was talking to a rep the other day from AT&T, he googled it when I asked him when the launch date was. Needless to say, I'll believe it when I see it....too much misinfo going around.

See:
****Correction***** The Samsung Galaxy SIII will be available in AT&T stores on 6/21. We’re getting conflicting reports, but we received words from AT&T reps that the phones should be available by tomorrow in stores! Apologize for any confusion! also, see below for T-Mobile’s release plan.

He did...I laughed. It was clear that he had no clue so I didn't even bother.

June 28th, a week from today. That's straight from the Samsung reps mouth.
Keep in mind, this is what I was told by ATT.

Oxymoron isn't the word you were looking for.
Anyway, he let me listen to some of the "class" they went through (he was allowed to record it). It was basically a "how to market the sgs3" seminar.
The main point I cared about, 28th was the day my local store will begin sales.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

While the 28th is very unfortunate there really isn't anything we can do about it. I wish they would of let people who wanted "no commitment" have the ability to pre-order. I wouldn't be in this predicament, having to wait to the 28th, if that were the case.

My AT&T local store manager said, very confidently, that they will go on sale Monday, June 25th. Who knows?? I'm just amazed at how different the information is from one store to the next.

HTC EVO Release Date

I recently noticed an updated *unofficial* release date for the EVO on phonearena.com ...link here: http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/Sprint-carrier-c_2_3.html
This says April 16th. Can this be? Anyone know where they get their information? I have noticed in the past they generally only put release dates on that are somewhat reliable, or they will put 'unannounced' or something more general like 'summer'.
Any other sources point to an april release date? If so, i am dumping vzw and rejoining sprint!
***EDIT: MOST RECENT RUMORS POINT TO JUNE 6 OR 13...PHONE ARENA NOW HAS AN UNOFFICIAL DATE POSTED OF JUNE 13.
I believe sprint when they say summer
Again, rumors are just that, RUMORS... And it's nearing April Fools, which is cruel to us tech geeks... But a lot of online places have started reporting May for a release date. Check out the link and google some more.
EDIT: So I can't post links because I'm a noob, but Google it and you should find some articles.
April 16th Sprint will start taking PreOrders. Went down to my local Sprint store today. That Evo Is SICK!!!!

Working for Radioshack I feel I'm obligated to say this. We willl have it release day, at least 1 in store if it is a busy store. My sprint rep will be getting his demo soon and I was promised I could use it before release behind closed doors to the public. So if I manage to get my hands on it before release I will let you all know how cool it is!

[OFFICIAL] February 22nd Release Date (Update:Pre-orders shipped!)

http://briefmobile.com/official-atrix-4g-release-date-february-22nd
EDIT: It's official now! Release date on the 22nd. Shipped orders to arrive on the 21st!
EDIT: Pre-orders before yesterday are now shipped! They will be delivered on the 21st!
I'd like to think its legit, but there seem to be so many people pulling hoaxes these days for attention. On a positive note, I've gotten a lot of at&t phones on launch day, and I'm pretty sure 1 or 2 wasn't on a Sunday.

True true. Everyone wants to make a picture that shows up in the news. This one looks no more legit than the last.
Which means AT&T has 6 days to fix this backorder issue, or preorders are going to get screwed.
People will walk in-store and grab theirs, while we wait at the mailbox for our preorders.

I work for AT&T, I haven't seen that message that is going around about early release yet but it looks legit. It mentions internal systems that we use and we have all the price tags up in store. It's rare for use to put a spot on the wall for a phone that is several weeks out.

Thanks for the post!
Message seems legit, though I haven't seen this email passed amongst the ranks of store employees yet. That would be very awesome if it comes to be true, I can't take another day of my Samsung Moment and Sprint's poor coverage where I live.
The wife and I have our upgrades on the 26th, I hope you guys have a chance to wring this thing out for 4 days before we go get ours.
Holy crap I hope this is true. I am about to throw my Fuze out of window
I didn't realize how many of us are still clinging to our fuzes.
It also looks like they finally fixed the Premiere store for people wanting upgrades. Yesterday it would only let me upgrade to an iPhone (any variety) and some crappy Nokia. This morning it allowed me to upgrade to anything.
Here's to hoping that it really is the 22nd!
Oh, and anyone want an ATT Nexus One?

Att stores have no clue

Seems like those fools haven't a clue I'm going to the store 7 * in the past week and they told me it was going to be there by the 21st. Then they told me he was going to be there on the 25th. The 26th. The 27th. The 28th. Customer service so they can overnight me 1. But in order to do so I would have to cancel my account again. Ughhh, help??

Wait like most everyone else?
Of course they have no clue. AT&T encourages hiring drones who have no interest in phones nor any discernible sales skills, in exchange for working more hours for less pay, in a "union" that does nothing but dock your pay for dues. They're told to toe the company line and have no individual thought, lest they risk termination.
That being said, most employees don't CARE when the phone will be out, or if you're waiting for one. They're trained to sell TODAY, to hype whatever is in stock, so they get paid, and more importantly AT&T gets paid.
Yeah, I got a nice " we have other phones that work" and I said " not really, but honestly I just want to know if u have s3 in the back" they do, just waiting on Samsung to greenlight the launch! Fml right most everyone?

I got lucky today and walked into my local corporate store and asked if they had any. They said they had one that was a preorder returning I could see it. I asked them if I could buy it and they said no and the manager said to hold on a minute. She went into the back and made a phone call and came out and said if I wanted it I can buy it.
I'm stoked I got so lucky.

Im a VZW customer. I ahvent ventured into other carriers threads till I saw this.
I had a similiar experience today. I expected your phones out on the 21 and then maybe 28th. I figured theyd at least have a floor model I could hold in my hands to just play around with.
nothing there. the woman had never even heard of the phone and said i should buy an iphone. I laughed and said nothanks and left.
I didnt realize how bad yall have it. seems this is common from the comments here.
Compared to teh VZW store in teh same mall it was night and day. Im not trolling if it comes off that way. I was so envious of you all.
The T-Mobile store in my local mall had one on display! I was very eager to actually play with the phone and see how it felt and looked. The Pebble blue looks nicer than I thought it would but I will stick to the white one I preordered on Verizon. I never should have gone in there! Now the wait is just that much more annoying.

HTC One On Sale in USA (Pre-Orders and Arrivals)?

With all this excitement over in the U.K. and Europe about the HTC release, we Americans are patiently awaiting some kind of news of a release date here. To my knowledge, there has been no update from AT&T, T-Mobile or Sprint since the initial HTC unveiling last month.
With whom and where in the USA did you make your pre-order, find a fully working demo, find an announcement for a release date, or receive your first HTC One?
No release date for US version yet
There is no information for the US version but I am also waiting big time.
I had a preorder from Hantec.uk but now the release date has been pushed back to at least March 25 so I have until then to see if the US version will come out soon after. If it is close I will just cancel my order and get from the US so I can also get the ATT warranty on the phone.
they said we are first priority, but i dont believe that, i feel like they are going to wait until the gs4 is released so they can release it at the same time, they did the same **** with the vivid when the gs2 came out.
HTC would have been so better off if they could have sold it's flagship phone before the Galaxy S4 takes over the Ad's. Too bad for HTC
Check out phonedog.com. They just had an article saying preorders for AT&T start today and the release date is the 21st.

I've never heard of at&t taking any phones back for a trade in. Sure you get a lower price signing up for a 2yr contract but not a trade in.
Also while HTC did have a hand in brokering the deal, they are not the ones running the program. Clover is.
I think the program dates will either be extended or we'll see something early next week for a release the week of the 24th. Probably the former unfortunately. Either way I'm not holding my breath though.
It just sucks that HTC has said that the USA is their largest target market, and we'll be getting it at the same time as the other countries, if not later it seems.

Evo LTE fiasco...
Basically the launch delay due to shipments being held by US Customs (due to Apple infringement claim). As they were gradually let out, Sprint had first pick at them while third-parties (like Wirefly) were way down on the list. Don't know when their customers finally got them (I ended up cancelling). Learned my lesson! Not saying that you'll have the same experience, but since this is limited quantities, know that Wirefly will get the left-overs.

That is why I put "preordered FOR" and not "preordered FROM". Some people may get it from an AT&T store, some Best Buy, Some from HTC but that part isn't all that relevant.(for this poll).
The poll is also open until the 18th. If Tmobile doesn't offer it before that from them than it is not a pre-order .
Keep the votes coming guys! I know more people preordered than this .

I would be more concerned that you ordered the Black one for Sprint. The black version is not in the SKU system for Best Buy and it is not available directly from Sprint for preorder and they do not have the slightest clue when the black one will be released. (Expect end of May or June)
I preordered silver from sprint on Friday
