Like the title says, please post here if you've been able to find a GS III either in an AT&T store, Best Buy, etc. Also, please post location, or at least general area, so we know where they are coming first.

Gonna try later today. I'll post where later if I succeed. Don't want anyone sniping my store first ;-)
HA! I was on the phone with AT&T getting my new white activated, and I had it on speaker, and I herd the supervisor in the back ground telling all the reps, and I quote
"Ok guys the new Galaxy S3 will not be available in stores until the 28th, so if you have any new calls on it, that's what we tell them."
Glad I got mine this morning...

I'm hoping they are just having their reps say that to get people off their backs, rather than it being actually the real release date. They botched my order, so it never even went in the system, and I didn't find this out until yesterday. Needless to say, I am going to wait for it in the store this time. I'm really hoping for a Sat/Sun release somewhere...
I was told sunday by my store so crossing my fingers that they will have them.
That's what I heard also. They actually don't know. Nothing official has been told to the employees from what I understand.

Told by one store that they were doing a special remodel for Sunday and that they expect to have the GS3 available on Sunday. Told by another store "by the end of the month" and another store Sunday. So... I'm going take the chance and show up on Sunday.

I was told that the store was expecting about a dozen and they expect to sell out of them almost when they get them. So they told me to be up there around noon if i want one.

It is only available via play store. If amazon uk has it, so does ours. The only restriction is the god damn play store and I am sure it is some retarded law interfering with the release.
Seriously consider buying it via http://www.borderlinx.com/, did the same with my Touchpad. Proxy and BL -> N7 is mine! But not yet decided.

Problem is google checkout only takes credit cards from the country you're ordering, so if you are ordering via borderlinx to USA or UK you would need a american credit card or a UK one... Which is the problem right now.

i bought my nook from ebay it was easy i will do the same with the nexus 7 from ebay.co.uk shipping is some euros and no tax...
but i want it on the first day ;-)
perhaps we find a way and can make a german xda bulk order
Well they want to regulate which country gets it.
The biggest reason with the Nexus 7 probably is the limitation of Play store functionality in most countries. It's limited to only apps in almost every country in the world except USA, Canada and UK.
They announced it pretty heavy about how it is the ULTIMATE Google Play device, so releasing it without full functionality might heart advertising and credibility of future devices. Even though many nerds here (including me) would want it anyway the majority would want all the functions people have in the US.

i opened a thread where i want to collect all buying advices
I´m austrian and i´m also trying to figure out which is the best way to get it.
Fighting with some Webproxies didn´t get me very far.
I guess it´s not very likely that amazon will sell it in the near future (it´s clearly the main competitor of the kindle fire.).
So please post it if you found a good way to get the tablet to central europe.

Check the site for tablet stores in your area and call around, I haven't had a problem finding them in my area
No.
I called ahead, and I just bought one from Gamestop at the mall about 2 hours ago.
Thanks, would you know if there is an online checker?
I called one store and the kid had no idea what I was talking about.

Played with the phones yesterday at p4u in oxford street (bond street), however today the store doesnt have any demo units. says they will get demo units soon.
Gonna have a look around later......i read somewhere late yesterday that more P4U stores would have units in today (21st), will be in MK later for some physio, so will try and locate a store there, then back home to Northampton, so i will have a pop in the store here see if i can get lucky.
Posted reply in wrong thread...ooops......anyway,
No luck for me today trying to hunt down a demo unit, 2 P4U stores, 3 CPW stores, Vodafone store, 02 store and EE store, no luck.:crying:

I don't know about stores in the rest of the uk but a few phones 4 us in london and three stores are expecting demo units next week between the 26th-1st
So, apart from someone elsewhere saying they tried one out in a Birmingham store, and some stores saying they are getting them soon, do we have any definite sightings yet?
I would like to try and populate the OP with store locations so people can go and try for themselves.

Yes there is definate sightings in london. The phones 4 u store in bond street that did the launch now have a display model however, you can't check out the camera/video or front camera or music in headphones because of the way they secured the phone.
The three store also down bond street a bit further up (opposite selfriges) had a clean demo yesterday i.e it wasn't bolted to anything so i got to test out camera/video, front camera/video, audio, phone calls in the shop and got to walk around in the shop with the phone to test out the camera on different subjects. I don't know if they would have bolted the phone down now but I am glad I went in search again yesterday as i finally got to play with it without any restrictions as such (apart from obviously not being allowed to go out the shop with it)
I thought HTC distributed demo units for reviewers,but 4 days later still no reviews apart 1 or 2 short amateur videos.
Good thread idea! I'm going to go searching Oxford Street sometime next week, I take it it's only the Bond Street stores?
Definitely not in P4U in Manchester Market Street. Person said check in first two weeks of march but not to quote her on that
Re: Demo units.....updated 23/2/13
Dont worry there will be lots of vids from MWC shortly

Thanks Phil, OP updated, was it you in another thread that said you had a play in a Birmingham store?
It has been advised by the HTC staff that go around demoing the phones to shops that the demo units are running atleast 2 month old software and is not retail software.

yer i mentioned it on the uk pre order thread
So, any more of you lucky folk in the UK found somewhere to play with the One?
hello Guys I have a update for this thread.
Three store islington angel - London has a demo unit however the guy is such a pr**k and won't let anyone play with it. He claims it is his personal phone when I know it isn't because I saw him in the morning but because I had to go somewhere i said to him i will come back after he said ok. When I went back he was on lucnh and I asked the staff they said I would have to wait for him to come back as he was the only one with the demo and demoing it to customers then when he came hes telling me its his personal phone.
I thought you know what let me leave it because the staff in the three store in islington angel are FOS anyway, no wonder when I walk past it is always empty and there is like 6 or so staff members sitting in there twiddling their thumbs or talking aboslute rubbish amongst themselves on top of that they are absolutely clueless about phones but that's another matter.
Also three store in Kilburn - London also has a demo unit thankfully they let you play with it. So far all the three stores that have the demo units they are not bolted down to anything, the staff members have it around their necks.
Thanks chief, OP updated.:good:
I was in my local 3 store (AGAIN) yesterday looking for a unit to play with, the young lad who approached me as i walked in store asked if i was after anything, i said i wanted a One to play with, he told me that it was only announced a couple of days ago......i told him i already had it on pre order since last Tuesday, he sort of looked as if i was lying, then said they wouldn't have any for a while because it's not out yet, i pointed out the Xperia Z that they have had for the last few weeks wasn't out either and he just shrugged his shoulders, i then pointed at the big A frame in the store front that showed a big pre order poster with the One on it.....again he just shrugged.......kids eh?
haha yea, i swear it never ceases to amaze me how little the people who work in these retail outlets (not just phones) know about their products.
usually i just nod and agree when i realise that i know more than they do lol

Hopefully next week we should be able to play around with the phone in at least a couple of stores without a trip to london or birmingham.
