I was told August 8th is the official release. So unless you want to lose your job...your store won't be able to sell them until then.

It is pretty antiquated being that a new one is around the corner. Don't see why anybody would buy one.

Don't buy this phone it will already be a generation old in two months, it's a shame that it's taken so long to start selling this phone.... the screen has a ppi of 285 plus it has a pentile display...its a no go just wait.

Swap for a galaxy s3? Why would anybody trade a brand new phone for a year old one?
Mod please close this thread, it's nonsense that doesn't relate to the SGS3.
Inappropriate, use ebay if you want to sell.

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting a new thread. Sorry if it doesn't go here or it's a repeat.
Tomorrow, I'm going to buy a new Galaxy Nexus off someone I just met. I am allowed to check the phone before I finish the deal. The question is, is there anything in particular I need to check before I make the deal? I'm with Rogers in Canada so I expect it to work with this service provider.
Make sure that it isn't a fake. Saw a video of a pretty convincing imposter recently. Check the water mark tags for water damage too.

Make a test call. Test gps and wifi if possible.
And yes ^^^^ watch out for fakes, some guy got screwed a week or so ago off a deal on Craigs list.

Why not ask for the imei and such to verify with your carrier and if there paranoid about giving it out or whatever just meet at the carriers store to avoid any issues

Hello all!
It'd be nice to get some guidance on my upgrade (Yes, i know some just think.. "aww ****, to hell with all these ppls upgrade posts" so if that person is you, don't bother givin me **** for moving on. everyone does. thanks.)
First of all,
It sucks balls to leave this awesome community.
I've learned a sh*t-ton about my Epic and many other things from some very respected people, who all friggen rock. lol.
Soo, onto my topic & small dilemma.
The upgrade date is Dec. 1st, 2012. Although, I love the style & feel of my Epic, I may be heading towards something a bit different. I have gone down to the Sprint store and checked out some really cool devices but I'm kind of sitting here scratching my head because I'm very picky, luckily though, I was (offf coursee) drawn to the Galaxy S III.
Given its lightening fast 1.5GHz dual-core processors,2100 mAh Lithium Ion battery (9hrs talk time), beautiful (yet kinda big) display (4.8" to be exact), the JB OS, 16/32GB memory, 2GB RAM and other things here and there. Now, the Note II, damn dude, talk about a big display. That one takes the cake. Idk if I could really be happy/satisfied with such a monster display ... 5.5" ?? & I know thats not THAT much bigger than the S III but in hand you'll see the difference.
On the other hand, theS Pen™, 3100 mAh Lithium Ion battery (15hrs talk time), 1.6 GHz Samsung Exynos Quad-core processors alone sounds damn good to me. The only thing that bothers me (obviously) is the bigger display.. So I'm considering other devices because these 2 devices give me a headache sometimes lol.
Anyway, my options & opinions are open for anything.. I'm not tooo picky and my mind is NOT set on just those 2 phones.. I was just throwing them out there because I like 'em both. 
One thing..
Don't even think about mentioning the iPhone's,  that is one phone I'd just piss on nd save the p.o.s as a weapon against the zombies, then let those retards have at it (hopefully piss on it too.)
So, apart from that, I'd like to hear some input from you guys n gals.
&maybe even whoever has upgraded from the Epic and is happy with their pick.. Your wisdom, knowledge & opinions are appreciated! either way its all good so let me know!  Thank you in advance.

Why not still stick with keyboards? America variants of S3 ALL SUCKS to me. Now on market you can have LG Mach, Moto Photon Q and (later) Verizon Stratosphere 2... And if I were you I would definitely first consider a Nexus 4 (all powerful and better than S3, though have to wait for a bit)

Trust me bro my eyes have been open for some decent devices with physical keyboards that have at least like dual processors, so far I haven't seen much.
Prolly because I have Sprint nd Sprint doesn't have the biggest selection of pretty good phones (like the Nexus). I wish. I don't see many disadvantages with getting the SGSIII, imo. But everybody feels different.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Your best bet is still the 2 threads in General that I recommended to you. But the S3 is awesome but you will miss the keyboard for a few months. Samsung seems to have listened and fixed everything we complained about of both Epics S and S2.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Yes I've been reading through those threads the last couple days or so. Its hard to say, because if Id like to keep the physical keyboard then, to my knowledge, I have one choice: Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE. Unless I were to go with the S III. Are you happy with the S III?

I am very happy with the S3. It is light years ahead of the Epic. I will not lie and say I don't miss my keyboard but the voice to text is really very good and getting used to the on screen keyboard in landscape.

Yeah, exactly, on one side of the coin it's new improved technologies and all. Then on the other, there's no keyboard but I figure i'll get used to that.
Kenny, I believe your just the man for guidance here lol. You have great knowledge on this and you switched from the Epic to the SIII. Like I said in my op, I'm looking for input from someone who has done that.
So I suppose i'm asking you if you think the SIII might be the one for me.. ?
Since your happy with the switch and you've been a big help from the start with me.
Thank you.

No. They can't give you that price without an eligible upgrade line. You will get used to the keyboard or lack there of. The phone is truly amazing with 4 times the RAM and 16 times the phone storage plus an available sd card slot. When I got it all I did was root and run stock for a month because if was so damn fast and smooth. You won't be disappointed. Call Sprint to see if you can move your upgrade up a week.

I called and got it figured out. I think tmrw my upgrade will be eligible if I pay the $50. If I send my Epic to them, they said I'll get $28 for it and the $50 will be billed to my sprint account next pay. So, basically, if I go for it, I'll be paying $72 for the early upgrade and a new SIII not bad eh? It sounds like a deal. I can't imagine 4x the RAM lol that is a huge improvement, not to mention the other awesome specs and features that come with it.
It very well may be the SGSIII for me... Hey and if it is maybe Ill be bugging you even more for help
Im sure I'll decide to root it and flash a nice stock rom.

I LUCKILY received my SIII today, at first they told me they were sold out and I got there an hour after they opened! No one had even gone there and gotten one yet... AND THEY WERE SOLD OUT?! wtf?..
So, since they love me oh so dearly there, they had a couple stashed away and grabbed one for me. Like I said, luckily. lol
I had a question though, maybe you have the answer lol, do you know if the SIII is root-able withoutt Odin via starting the Odin flash counter ? Or should I not worry about it and just buy a usb jig when the time comes?

Use Odin to root then Triangle Away to reset the flash counter.

Saw this at work today and thought I would share it with everyone. I don't know how long it will last though. It says web only, but I called and they not only moved my upgrade up a couple months but they also matched the price!!!
If any of you have an upgrade or know someone who does, this is the chance. They only had white left when I called this afternoon.

Of course with a two year contract, it is AT&T after all It's still a great price if you have an upgrade though. Last week when I checked they were $199 with a 2 year....
I know I didn't hesitate to grab one today!
Now it's time to do some reading on rooting and roming so I can put this Infuse in the desk drawer

But it's good that you started this topic. Probably made some curious people into buying a note 2 for cheap. (Just like how I'm curious for the $130 HTC one at Costco)

If you're near Fairfax VA or Columbus Oh those two Microcenters are the first ones selling ATT phones. They have the S4 and One for $99 and Note 2 for $149. Bought my One there while I was visiting friends. (Then went on to trade my One straight up for 2 Note 2's )
