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.

Hot Dog....finally got my Note II. I've been waiting for Sprint to get a Note variant since they orginal Note first launched in Europe.
Came close to switching carriers a few times becuase Sprint never seemed to want to catch-up.
I'm glad I waited though.
The Note II is awesome.
:victory:
Congrats and welcome ! I'm hoping we have a very active community. Fingers are crossed!
got mine too ..... the sprint store only had 4 :victory:
Yes yes I have very high hopes for this community. This is the only phone I have bought on launch day along with all of the anxiety and anticipation to go along with it.

Just got mine also! Oh man is this thing awesome. I've waited for something like this and had an Epic 4g slider the whole time.
I've been a bad boy, I know I shouldn't but the temptation is killing me. My Evo LTE will get push to the kid (hope I don't regret the switch). Now on to root and all.
I got one too.

Well, how's the difference? LOL....I too have the Epic 4g and have to wait until tomorrow to go to the Sprint store.
I am REALLY getting tired of the daily lockups/reboots.
Picked up mine a couple of hours ago. Loving it so far!
Everyone I work with is getting a kick out of it every time I get a call! "Look, Ricks talking to his laptop again."

This is my first full touch screen so it's really different as I could text without looking before. All I need is a hotspot workaround and this phone will be awesome! It makes the epic feel like an old Palm.

Yea me too but they just opened this forum. Ive been lurking in the international one. So maybe this will pick up. Plus from what I can tell, the launch seemed very limited. Anyway, I have never seen a nicer phone outta the box. Put root on this sucker and ill be a happy camper!

Wife and I got the only 2 white ones the store had... felt stupid being the only 2 there at 8 but it paid off when the next guy to come said they only would have 4 phones, 2 white and 2 gray. 4 people walked in and got sent away to look at other stores.
yeah all the stores i called said people bought them out when they opened the doors..then the store that had on left said that people were buying 3 and 4 of them at a time...didnt think this phone would be that popular..ive had the og evo, galaxy , galaxy s2 and about 4 or 5 other android devices as ive bounced around from carrier to carrier, and NEVER had a problem finding a store that had the phone i wanted until today.
First store I went to their lock broke on the cabinet holding the phones. They couldn't get into it to sell them. Drove another 10 minutes and got a grey one at another sprint store. Really liking it so far

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.

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?

I wish I could justify getting the S4 after only having the S3 for 6 months, but the only reason I would want it is to test if BT AVRCP works better with it and my car than with the S3 (which already works pretty well).

We might get a full s4 rom ported by this summer so for me the upgrade is just not worth it at all.. the only difference will be better camera and screen but that's about it
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Even then, that camera scratches easily. People are scratching it already. It won't be so great when its all scratched up. I've not scratched my S3 and it was caseless for two weeks! Stupid oversight on Samsung's part!

I gotta say I'm not jealous...I'm content with my S3
Though it's a pretty good gesture, the devs really do a good job here!
I'm quite happy with the S3, the only phone I see worth upgrading to is either the Note III or the next nexus phone (only if it isn't made by LG and the back isnt made of glass). But I wouldn't switch to either devices the second they come out, I would wait a month or two and see what ROMs and type of community both devices have and pick the one that suits me better.
Oh and bikrame I hope you enjoy your S4, seems like there's a few people here that envy you.

buy me one? lol i will leave when the time is right. i havent even made a rom for this phone yet. (im behind on schedule)

ATT bootloader is unlocked but djrbliss is holding the exploit to himself until Big Red drops their S4. Hopefully that same exploit will unlock theirs as well. Should be by the end of this month.
See you around @bikrame. Hope all goes well with your new device and if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask. I'll be lurking in the Int'l S4 section, but might pop in the TMo version for a look see here and there. Keep those knuckleheads in line over there. :highfive:
