Everyone who per ordered the note 2 just got screwed. I just checked the att site and low and behold they have the white and gray color options! Why the hell couldn't we just pre order the color we damn well wanted?

There comes a question: can we exchange our preordered ugly gray with the white one at the local stores? Has anyone done this before?

Since most people get the phone faster in att store (10am friday),
Why even bother to preorder if you can't get the phone a day or few days earlier??
I wanted the ugly gray.
We're getting the product we ordered, "on or about" Nov. 9, as estimated. How is it being back-stabbed if someone else can get a prettier color now? Restricting other customers' options was not something you were promised, and why would you even want that?
The advantage of pre-ordering is that if the supply turns out to be inadequate, you'll probably get your phone much sooner than if you wait for it to appear at your local store. The disadvantage of pre-ordering is that if the supply turns out to be ample, the store might have the phone slightly before the pre-order arrives, and might have additional cosmetic options.
So you just have to decide which of these options you prefer, and then live with the consequences--which are almost indistinguishable! The anguish and drama here are bizarre.
Gray is much nicer then the ugly white.
That said, anyone who wanted white probably shouldn't have ordered gray. Seems pretty obvious to me.

I have to agree here. I looked at the White S3, and just thought that it looked too plain. I mean yea... there's nothing special about giving a brushed aluminium look to plastic, but at least it's an added bit of depth. Didn't really want such a smexy phone to look like... uuh... another popular white phone that's not nearly as smexy.

It's even worse that they're claiming that the ICON'S infringed on their patents. Going by their actual patent information in that document, and looking at the side by side's later on... wtf are they on? Well, we could easily say that the white phone on a green background is NOT at a 45-degree angle. And most of the others don't look remotely similar. I mean... thinking that Samsung's smiley in a speech box looks similar to Apple's own speech bubble? The Settings icon... what... because it has a gear in it? And WTF are they on with the photo gallery icon? NOT EVEN CLOSE!
Apple just seems to have the patent office in their pockets, as well as the judges they use for this sh*t, cause they are granted so many patents for the most ridiculous stuff it's unrealistic.

So... I bought my galaxy s3 from tmobile customer service. With a full upgrade I've only paid $ 179 of 16gb.
I've wanted the white one but they were sold out in 16. So I've went ahead and placed a exchange of the 32gb.
The first (white 32gb) had many dust stuck under the sceen... and interfere with the camera as well... so I've called to get me a same but different one that isn't defective this time. (New in box course) now the new one has huge gap on the metal bezel area... I could fit like 5 business card.
So I called again and placed another one...
This time I've told them to put a notation on my account so that the manufacture date is most recent... (both of my defective white phones were made in 7/4/12)
Where as my blue one is perfect...besides the dark pixels.
I really think Samsung's quality control isn't as what they claim to advertise as... I understand that no phones are perfect... but at least do a better job at hiding... lol
So in my opinion I could be getting a bad batch or just unlucky... I will keep you guys updated with my next replacement in white.
Please tell us your experience with similar problems.

No he's not, he's paying for a new product so it shouldn't have any defects or problems. What's the point of a 720p screen if it has dust underneath. My 2 yr old g2 doesn't have any dust whatsoever so why should this.

Yeah, I dunno if Ill even be here in 6-8 weeks. Im going on the road.
I was gonna by some of the NFC tags but wasnt sure if I'd really like em or use em so 6 free ones plus the free flip cover isnt bad. Hell even if it was just the cover I'd still have done it the damn things are $40 and you can only ever find colors online, stores either only carry white or grey or the colors are always sold out except the ugly ones. They only had orange, mint and pink when I got my email but orange just happens to be my favorite color so worked out pretty well. Now I just have to figure out a mod for my orange tpu case to fit over the flip back and not fall off. Maybe just a very tight slit big enough to slide the cover into will suffice without habing to cut the whole side out of the case

Hello, I have been having the same issue with my screen on my Galaxy SIII since I bought my first one last february, what is causing it and what is it?
Pictures below, it has just started to develop on this my 4th SIII that of which was a BNIB not one of those replacement ones which my last two replacements were.

The circles start out hardly visible and progress getting darker eventually I have a row of up to 5.

I don't see anything I wouldn't expect to see.
Edit: I see them now. It's like one of those pictures you have to stare at to see the image.
I see them, and yeah that would be pretty annoying. Are you using a particular background, or playing a certain game for an extended amount of time that could be causing those to "burn" into the display? Anything along that line of thought?
Is that only noticeable on light background colors or does it get darker with a darker background color?
------------------------------------
If it was easy you'd of hired the guy at Home Depot to to it.
It's definitely a game or something causing this. Or background as the above user mentioned. Only issue that's common throughout all of the s3 devices are the ink blots. That circling is really strange. I'm putting my money on it being caused by some sort of burn in from the same image being displayed for too long.

It only starts getting darker and darker and more noticeable. It starts only being noticeable on white to gray screens then on all screens.
I do not use or have any backgrounds or games which have that design.
Would you pay the same amount for an SIII if you saw defects on the screen?
I pay for the warranty so I will make sure my phone is in prestine condition if ever I decide to sell it.

Okay, first I would like to start off that I've been on here for quite some time even though I don't post a whole hell of a lot, so I did search before I got this far lol.... I bought my One a few weeks after the release date and since then I've put quite the dent into it and the speakers have managed to blow somehow.. seeing I have to take apart practically the whole damn phone, I figured go big or go home and decided to do a whole body swap from white to blue... I was ready to order all of the parts on etradesupply.com and I came across this: http://www.etradesupply.com/htc-one-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly-with-front-housing.html
As I was reading, I noticed that it said this:
Compatibility: HTC One*801c, 801n, 801s, 801e
I know for a fact this will work on the AT&T and t-mobile versions, can anyone confirm that it will work on Verizon's? I would just wing it and order it but I don't want to spend that much on it and the rest of the parts only for it to not fit.

Yeah I was gonna end up doing that if it wouldn't work... I was actually going to body swap colors but can't seem to tell if that lcd will work with the Verizon version... I could just do the upper and lower housing but I hear that they'll never stay on properly after install... I had a insured business that offered to do the swap and replace the speakers for $35... Probably not worth the risk.
I am sure they can body swap to a blue for you also for a little extra. I personally love the best buy blue.
