Exchanged my 16gb for 32gb - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Called Sprint today to replace my 16gb due to defected speaker. They offered to ship out a brand new replacement phone and even asked if I wanted the same color. I told the rep that I was fine with the same color. I then explained to her I initially wanted the 32gb version. She said not a problem, unfortunately the 32 won't ship until next week sometime.
Long story short, I went ahead I processed the return for my defected phone. Paid the $50 difference by credit card and was placed on the 32gb waiting list. I should be receiving the phone the exact same time as the others who were lucky enough to snag one through pre-order on the Sprint website.
So for anyone who plans on exchanging their defected 16gb and previously wanted a 32gb, there are options. I called Sprint when I pre-ordered instead of at the store, not sure if that'll make a difference.

Haha, no kidding. I'm getting the best of both worlds. Getting the 32gb the same time as the ones that were able to pre-order and being able to test drive this 16gb badboy for the time being. Only thing I'm wondering is if it's okay to restore my 16gb CWM backup on the 32gb once I receive it.

very nice deal. can anyone confirm this website is safe?
Well if you want to go for 16 GB, you can check with Radio Shack. There SanDisk 16 GB is on sale for $24.99 now (When i bought it was $22.99). Not a bad deal and you get it the moment you pay at store

Used them for a lot of my PC parts.
that is a yahoo hosted e-commerce site, i always have my doubts about those sellers.
well... the same can be said about sellers on ebay
as long as they have proven good reputation, then it should be safe
so, i looked up locally my suppliers and regular price is $35 for PSF16GMCSDHC10 (which is the one the OP linked)
I've purchased computer accessories such as computer fan, HDD enclosure from Directron years ago and never have a problem.
This is a very good deal indeed. Too bad I just bought a Kensington 8GB Class 10 from B&H photo for ~$17 with SD and USB adapter. Otherwise I would jump to this one. Not that I need 16GB but for almost the same price it would be no brainer.
I definately need one. I'll order one tomorrow morning and let everyone know what happens. i'll just use a prepaid debit if i can.
tell ya in a couple day, i order one
I just ordered a 32 gb online
SO i have my 16 gb sandisk one for sale if anyone is interested , class 2

NEGRI DEAL! $685.50 For GSM Nexus!

NegriElectronics has a deal for this weekend to get the Galaxy Nexus for the lowest price I've seen so far, $685.50! Plus, it's free shipping in the US!
I thought I got a deal by ordering for 704ish from them a while back, but this deal is the lowest ever and is only for this weekend. If you were on the fence, now MIGHT be the time to act for the GSM version.
Coupon Code is: VZSucks
It knocks $45 off the price tag!
Good price and negeri, say what you will about them, are shaping up to be a good reseller.
I'm giving this serious consideration...
I'm really tempted to go through with this. I was at Best Buy yesterday talking to one of the Mobile guys. I'm really starting to think there won't be a GSM version available for retail sale in the US. Someone please talk me out of this! I'll will really hit myself if by the end of this month a GSM version is available in Best Buy less than $550. I wanted the 32GB GSM model but I feel like I've waited too long already.
Should I wait until the ides of December and see what happens or jump in on this Negri deal?

it will not since the phone will be from another country and not incorporated into their system. even then, if they actually would allow it they wouldn't be able to replace it for the same phone.
Good deal!

They charge tax so don't forget to factor that into the equation based on where you are. I got mine from Negri for $705 but after tax it shot up to $764. I was just thankful I saved $35 from a code.
Negri is the way to go... although I've heard mixed stories about the customer service they give but I'd recommend them. I got my phone super quick.

Yeah I know I got ripped off. If negeri is selling at $685, they are still making a profit, believe you me. And to think I paid $750...Expansys must have made a TON of profit on the units they pushed out just before Thanksgiving.
Oh well. Money. It comes and goes.
Does this phone come unlocked already!? I went to pre-order my own but it says (Verizon) next to it. I just want to make sure I get the unlock version other than the wack a$$ Verizon one. Please let me know.
Thank you

I heard all they have right now is the 16GB model which you could always just get and grab a Micro SD card for the price difference of the two models anyways.

Best Buy Availability

I'm continuing this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951870 here because it relates to the Sprint version.
Ok so here's what I was able to find out. The first store i called said that the phone was in the computer but not in stock could possibly come in tonights or Wednesdays shipment. The second store said that Sprint isn't going to release the phone till the 11th to which I replied they released it Thursday and she was like oh well that's weired. So I called the Reward Zone Premier Silver customer service and they weren't able to tell me exactly what I needed to know so I was transferred to .com support. This is what they said. The phone is available to order NOT PREORDER. Where it says "coming soon" that means it's coming soon in stores. When you add the phone to your cart you add all of your plan info and then pay for it. They said it ships in 5-7 days.
If this helps you please hit thanks!

What about the 50 gift card towards purchase? Would I lose that if I ordered online? I have a white one that I bought at sprint, but hubby is waiting for his to use the gift card.

Called two Best Buy's this morning in the North Dallas area. Still not in the inventory system (don't know if their inventory system is national) - so none in stock at the store. They are taking pre-orders though.
Couldn't hazard a guess on which channel is actually faster.
i've called 15+ stores twice a day since the phone launched. the responses have been mixed, but over time the general consensus is now shifting to "it won't be available in store until Nov 11." i've pre-ordered it at a store, but in the meantime, i also bought one on their website. original delivery was 10/31-11/1, but just got updated to 11/8-11/19. if they start showing up in store before i get mine, i might just grab one there and cancel my online order. but i figure i've already missed launch day and have been waiting anyways, so what's a couple more days?
Called around to several stores today and wasn't able to find any phones or anyone who could tell me when it's going to released.

Talked to a Best Buy Mobile sales associate from a local store again today - this rep (taking it with a huge grain of salt) said that the carrier (Sprint) corporate stores would have a two week exclusive from launch. If true, that puts the date in line with the AT&T launch date: November 9th.
If I didn't have all those Best Buy gift cards from my Photon trade-in - I would've gone to the corporate store by now.

I'm guessing that the date they gave you is probably right or in the ballpark. I've heard from several stores that it won't be out till the 11th.

[Q] TMobile 32GB Galaxy S4

After visiting the local T-mobile store here in Miami, I was told that a 32GB version of the S4 could be ordered over the phone. My question is, does anyone know if this presumed 32 Gb version (which I've been told is not available in stores) can be flashed with all the ROMs that the 16 GB version has available in this forum, or will the fact that the storage capacity is different change the partition sizes and therefore make such flashing imposible/hard due to a possible bricking? Will the phone version also be different or will it still be an SGH-M919 (just with more capacity)? I think you probably can flash ROMS for the SGH-M919, but what do you guys know or think of this? I'm considering buying an S4 and would like the extra storage but I also love to try new ROMS and flash new things. Comments are appreciated.

I could be mistaken, in fact I hope I am, but I think you got some false information. My buddy works at T-Mobile and I haven't heard anything about a 32GB S4 since the phone was announced. It was supposed to be 16, 32, and 64GB but they only released 16GB, and to make it worse there's only about 9 or less of that 16 available. It is still worth it, it's a great phone, especially since it has a microSD card slot, but it's frustrating having to find workarounds because of always running out of internal storage. I got used to it though, and it added another 50GB to my dropbox.
Tmobile has no 32 GB model. My roomate works there. Not to mention you can easily go online and find that information out yourself. it's not that difficult

That's exactly what I thought, but after now having gone into several stores,I've gotten the same thing....."The 32gb version is available but it has to be ordered and it will be mailed to you at home." Can't say if it's true or just misinformation, but would love to see if anyone has confirmed this and actually ordered one.

I just called 611, there is no 32gb model that they're aware of.
Of course this was only 1 call rep, but I believe the 1 call rep and the countless truck loads of information available online.
Rather than ask what you can do with the 32gb model, I would've called first as the stores suggested to you rather than ask about a mythical device that would piss everyone off who adopted early.

Believe it or not, I did call before posting this thread. I was told by a rep that they had it but that it must be out of stock because it did but show up on her system. I think some of these reps have no idea of what's going on! Hard to know when to believe them and I guess illusive me wanted to believe her and think they do have a 32 gb S4 Thanks for checking up on it, though.

I went to a T-Mobile store today, finally giving up on the 32Gb model. I jokingly commented, "And let me guess, the 32Gb model comes out tomorrow." The rep said that indeed it would. It would be available online through google or samsung, and that I could check in tomorrow and have him order it for me for pickup at the store. I guess we'll see, but I'm crossing my fingers.

I called him back again today, he said the phone was not yet available and didn't have any more information on when it would be available. But it would be an official tmobile phone and come with financing, etc... I don't know why he suggested I go to google play before. I've decided these random salesguys are less than helpful.

To this guy's credit, we were in the middle of filling out the form for me to purchase the 16G version, since I had given up on the 32G version and my current phone has been crapping out at a surprisingly bad rate. And he gave me his card to call back to see if the 32G version was in today or not. I think he was just trying to be more helpful rather than a purposefully misleading slimeball. He was just misinformed.
