OK, so apparently telesales lied to me and several other people last night.
Sorry for the confusion...
edit:
Sprint will be carrying blue version in 32gb.
NO in-store inventory at any location (corporate or otherwise) tomorrow.
Call (866) 866-7509 if you feel the need to verify this for yourself.
I am really hoping this is true, but I have my doubts. I just got done with Sprint chat not 10 minutes ago and I asked. He said he does not have that information available to him. I don't know what to believe until I see it for myself tonight at 12:01 AM. Guess we'll know shortly! Hope you're right! I'll call after dinner. Thanks for the info. :highfive:
Edit: Called, she said she didn't have any information either.......maybe you got lucky and spoke with someone in the know.

That's funny, because multiple Sprint employees on r/android, r/nexus6 and r/sprint have all stated that Sprint will only be carrying the 32GB Midnight Blue version. OP, are you a Sprint employee? If not, I'm you understand why we'd have a hard time believing you.

He left the number, call. I did, it's true per the rep but like you said we will have to wait to see tomorrow.
It's funny how people will believe fake posts about the 32gb blue only on a garbage reddit site but they won't believe actual facts from Sprint themselves. I've been saying this for days... Sprint will have all 4 options.

You sure on not having inventory? A corporate store I live by said they are getting some..guess we shall wait till tomorrow
I've called a few stores (6)local to me (3 corporate and 3 resellers) and all 3 resellers said they don't have it or know when they will get it(none in their shipment today)
2 of the Sprint Corporate stores said they got a shipment today but haven't had time to go thru it and they don't know if they even got it.. Told me to call back at 7.
1 sprint store said nothing in today's shipment and for me to check back tomorrow at 1
Telesales was no help at all... Didn't even know the phone was coming out.. Then kept calling it the google phone
Sucks if u ain't getting iPhone or Galaxy your screwed
I don't think anyone thinks he's lying (I know I don't), I think some are just wondering if the rep he spoke with actually knew what they were speaking of. At any rate, we'll find out here shortly. No biggie! Thanks for the heads up, OP!

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.
http://thedroidguy.com/2012/06/att-pushes-back-samsung-galaxy-s3-release-date-to-june-28th/
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.

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.

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.

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)

According to Des on Twitter, one of the reasons for the delay was to make sure all locations were able to get a demo phone. As the leaked list showed, only 2/3 of locations were even getting a demo, and only 1/3 were getting sellable stock.

Amazon notified me yesterday that the Spigen cases I ordered were "shipped by Spigen" and would be arriving 11/25-28.
Well, this is what I get for not checking the N6 forums yesterday. Stopped by the store and they didn't even know about the delay until I asked about the phone. That's when the rep saw the internal memo saying the launch was pushed back. It's complete BS to push back a launch date the day before. They already knew there was limited supply.
a tad bit angry at myself, atm.
i asked one of the tmobile stores on that spreadsheet to give me a call when the n6s are up for sale, knowing that tmobes delayed in-store purchases for a week. really wasn't expecting anything and was just content with gp finally charging my card last night.
anyhow, five mins ago i got a call from that store saying that they received their shipment and they would sell me one... right now. normally i'd be super stoked, but gp chrg is not cancellable anymore and i'm not going to make another debit/credit transaction just because i'm impatient.
so... call your stores... NOW. you may get lucky. you may not. pretty sure the dude wasn't supposed to sell me one, but was glad he tried to help me out. this particular store in tx, btw (houston area).

Got to handle one on Indianapolis.
Sounds like all stores have received pricing but only a few have actually started receiving demo units. Early word is that they will start selling them in stores on the 19th. Take that with a grain of salt, it's just what some of the T-mobile reps are saying.

Called two local stores today, they don't say they have it but are telling me they will have the 19th.
Nope. I just called all my local T-Mobile stores, and they said they have it, but can't sell it until the 19th.
Left my local bestbuy last night and a couple blueshirts there told me that they would be releasing the S7 and S7 Edge this Monday. I was pre-ordering and asked when it came out and they told me I could pick it up on monday.
So if you preordered from bestbuy i'd recommend calling them and seeing if they are also releasing it early.
I don't know how truthful BestBuy is. I got my pre-ordered T-Mobile S7 on the 3rd of March and was told by my local BestBuy store that they had the Otterbox cases in stock for the S7. So I drive over to the store and find out that they have the cases in stock but won't be releasing them until the 11th of March because that's when the phones will be released. I will NOT be going back to BestBuy again!

I bought a surround sound system from them a month ago. He told me i was gonna get a discount and hed hook me up with an hdmi and optical cable. Then he was tryin to talk me into joinin their "rewards program" it was like every $100 you get a dollar or something. I was like, "it'd take me so long, im good" but i bought a tv a couple months before so he said i could get credit for that aswell. So finally i said, "well, your not gonna send me a bunch of emails if i sign up are you". He said, " haha noooooo"!
Long story kinda shortened.
I paid full price for the SS system.
I got a wopping $5 off a used hdmi cable. Which was $20
Paid full price for optical audio cable $25
Then at the end i said oh can we add my tv to the rewards program. (Of course the salesman left so i was left with some kid to check me out)
He said, "oh man we'd have to call customer service and i dont think theyd do it anyway"
[emoji51] [emoji51] [emoji51]
Fine.......
The following weeks im flooded with best buy emails, i unsubscribe at least 10 times with no stop to it. Finally have to call a 800 number and scream at them to make it stop.
Yeah.... Best Buy can shove it...
Oh i ended up takin it back anyway so i got my money back. Hah
big thread on reddit about this: multiple best buy mobile employees confirmed it, and users who went there confirmed it. people got calls to pickup on monday too.
pisses me off bc i chose shipping instead of in store (for the first time ever with best buy) bc i was worried they'd run out of stock before my preorder was fulfilled, so i wouldn't be able to walk in friday and get it. did shipping, thinking they'll def have enough in a warehouse.
yeah, and now they release early lol. so mad.
Pre ordered from Best buy about 2 hours after they started taking pre orders and I haven't received notification yet.

You should. I heard about this from https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS7/comments/490phl/best_buy_preorders_go_out_monday/, and went to my local best buy to be sure. They had no idea what I was talking about, and reaffirmed the 11th as the release date. This was yesterday, today my GF got a call that our phones have arrived and that we can pick them up tomorrow.

My preorder confirmation said they would Email me when the items were ready. By chance, did they mention if the Gear VR was ready for pickup also?

Sorry, She didn't think to ask about the Gear VR. I'll call to ask. Our preorder confirmation states the same about notification of pickup.

I don't know how truthful BestBuy is. I got my pre-ordered T-Mobile S7 on the 3rd of March and was told by my local BestBuy store that they had the Otterbox cases in stock for the S7. So I drive over to the store and find out that they have the cases in stock but won't be releasing them until the 11th of March because that's when the phones will be released. I will NOT be going back to BestBuy again!

Same thing happened to me. They had a Samsung rep there and I even showed him the phone, still wouldn't sell it. I went to U.S. Cellular, AT&T and even the new T-Mobile store in my town but neither had cases yet. Verizon store had the stuff out on display already so i bought my case and screen protector there.
I wondered who the *#&@ cares if I buy a piece of plastic for a phone that isn't "out yet"? I am giving you money, why do you care?! It was dumb as f.

Just got off the phone with my local BestBuy, they said that it should be no problem. She mentioned it would be FCFS based on available stock, dunno if this means you can get one shipped later, or if you are sol.
Well...that's kind of strange. The Best Buy website now shows the expected release date for the phone on my order as: "Null"?
The other 2 items still show expected release of 3-11-2016.
Edit: They just now changed the expected release date to 3-7-2016.
Mine updated! Expected release date: 03/07/2016
Logged into my best buy account and received a notification:
Pre-Order Update
The expected release date for your pre-order has changed to 03/07/2016
Guess they are finally shipping sooner than release date!
Well ****... For some reason my pre-orders aren't showing up on bb's site. What carrier are you guys on? I'm on ATT. I'll definitely have to stop by after work.
