Make sure you buy it,and compare to SG2. I have the feeling once you use Sense 3.0 you never go back to TW

Agreed
That will be exactly like back in december when I was on a GS for 4 months and I bought a Desire HD. I had to make a choice between the two and I was like, Sense is so sleeeek and polished . Finally since the DHD was worth more for resale and since GS was a little more powerful for gaming (huge gamer here) and the screen was miles away for true blacks, I sold DHD with hardness and waited until a good price comes (350€)
I just hope that they will get rid of those little lags that I saw in some videos
Anyone know of a definite release date for T-Mobile uk....??
Their twitter feed announced June but its not listed on the website whereas the SGS2 is....
As usual the retail staff are either sworn to secrecy or just clueless....
Edit;
Well.. . If I'd bothered to read a few threads further down I'd have found a better place to ask this question... sorry.
Question still stands though

The SIM free versions will be available in may or june?
Anyway the time the price drop a little the sensation will get root

pretty sad to see a phone reach EOL in less than a year.
this makes the probability of an official ICS update even slimmer
The HTC Amaze, Sensation 4G, and Doubleshot have been EOL for a while. I guess we just have a set date.

*sigh* I don't know why t mobile insists on dogging the mytouch line. The mt3g was high end for its time, same with the mt4g and mt4gs. Now its like they've dropped them down to bottom of the barrel phones. Hate to say it, but I have seriously been considering the gs2.

The only real reason I have not is because of money. Those phones ain't cheap, and unless I have a real need for that phone (which I don't), its not really worth it to me to spend it. Also, my contract is up on father's day, so I will probably get a nice upgrade for cheap then. I can wait.

My upgrade is around the same time. If the GS III launch is anything like the GS II, it'll hit the states months after the rest of the world. I may buy a Galaxy Note and flash the radio that works with T-Mobile to tide me over until the GS III or something else comes along. Then I will have two awesome phones.

good for you. I am used to it... I was with Virgin Mobile before I came to T-mo and if you think T-mo is bad. *shudder* At least T-mo releases updates... In the history of VM there has been 1 update. 1 and only 1. To a outdated phone to an outdated os... So I personally can live with having a phone have 0 updates or go to it's end of life... There is always dev support.
Also people complaining of lack of dev support... There are lots of devs here compared to a lot of other phones...

Direct from Samsung:
Due to unprecedented global demand for the highly anticipated Samsung GALAXY S III, with more than 9 million carrier pre-orders to date, the date of availability for purchase of this device in Canada, is now June 27th. In advance of the GALAXY S III availability date, most carriers and retailers are offering customers the chance to register on-line for updates, and some partners are offering their customers the option to pre-order the Galaxy S III. We expect any shortages to be short lived as we ramp up production to meet this unprecedented global demand.

Thank you for shopping with Sams Club!
We were just notified by AT&T that they have moved the nationwide launch of the Samsung Galaxy S III 4G LTE phone to June 28th.
There is nothing that you need to do. We’ve reserved your phone and will begin shipping all approved orders the moment we receive the devices. We just wanted to make sure you had the most up-to-date information.
Thanks again for shopping with us. We appreciate your business.

My bro gets his next week, funny how they name the LTE devices close to each other, SAMSUNG-SGH-I747. Kinda jelly but im still rockin my Skyrocket and don't really see the use for the upgrade unless of course i want the latest of everything. If that was the case I would've put it all on my PC
I just met a bloke who is staying in the same hostel as me and works for HTC. He let me use his one s and I have to say the phone looks and feels so much nicer. A few drinks later into the night he said he'd try to grab me one of the testers from his office for free. Here's hoping. I may trade for the GSIII. I will greatly miss the skyrocket community though, I can't imagine it getting any better than you guys.

lol... wtf?
I'm in the USA (Austin, TX) and my ATT SIII shipped yesterday and is due to arrive tomorrow (Thursday the 21st).
Tracking info attached.
The crazy thing is I cancelled the order and bought a One-X instead.
MISTAKE!
Unless there is something really stupid about the SIII, I'm returning the One-X. The buttons are driving me mad and it is SLOWER to browse web-forums heavily laden with gif's, than my Skyrocket was.
The screen is suuuuper sweeet though.
anyone know what the cost will be for the GSIII?
Hey, so after 2 years I will be moving to the S4, I was just wondering if any of u were coming with me?
i might move to the note 3 when it comes out
I've looked at it but decided it to be overly expensive. It's around $700 unlocked (probably grey market no warranty), just too much for a phone especially when my SGS4G still operating just fine. I did some calculations for "subsidized" phones with plans, but they can be even more expensive, around $800 over 2-year contract. I did the comparison with a $45 single line unlimited everything StarightTalk service, final cost over 24 months.
There are rumors that Nexus 4 LTE will be announced in few days during Google I/O, I'll wait to see what comes from that.
Yeah... my brother's getting a SGS4 (moving off of his old Nexus One or something else similarly painful) but my SGS4G is still doing well, albeit chomping through batteries on an increasing pace. May join you eventually, but for now... Eh, our devs are awesome.
I will be as soon as my contract ends this month. I will just keep my sgs4g as a back up but it will be nice to finally have a freakin LED flash lol

Yea I will too! Actually, I already did! ;D its so freaking EPIC!! And the screen...so beautiful. If u are moving phones, u won't be disappointed. I am gonna miss this forum tho...the SGS4G was my first smartphone. And the community will never be the same as this one. It has been a great 2 years with the SGS4G. Thanks to everyone who made it an awesome phone and I hope development keeps on going forward. I'll still visit every once in a while though just to see how things are doing.
My phone got washed in the washing machine by accident 2 days ago, so I went to Tmobile and got the new s4 today.

I don't know how many of you have heard this rumor but supposedly there will be a Galaxy S4 version running stock AOSP. It's supposed to be announced tomorrow at Google I/O. If they price it the same as the Nexus 4, I'm getting the S4 Google Edition instead. I'm in need of a new phone.
http://www.geek.com/android/samsung-galaxy-s4-google-edition-to-be-announced-at-google-io-1555174/
New phone means that I don't need my SGS4G to be operational, which means that I will be doing a lot of deving on it this summer. !
Yes, I saw that rumor. Will it be less expensive than the Samsung S4 version?

Hopefully we'll know later today... . I'm so stoked I'm actually programming for the sgs4g!
My guess if Google really moved from LG to Samsung with their Nexus phone it will not be exactly the same as S4. Most probably it will not have MicroSD, the battery will not be easily swappable, and I doubt they install FullHD screen to keep the price low enough to match the Nexus line. But we'll see, still may become a good choice.
Well, it is confirmed today with a starting price of $649 for the 16gb version.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
For an unlocked off contract phone that's not that bad. However, those of you that have the ATT S4 should just wait for the Google model to drop. That ROM should be a pretty easy port to the ATT version.
The s4 is currently on sale at att online only for 29.99. The lady on the phone gave me an early upgrade+free overnight for it. http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/samsung/galaxy-s-4-16gb-black-mist-refurb.html
If you cancel early, might be a good way to get a S4 somewhat cheap. Nothing will beat the 50% glitch that happened last month though.

I just ordered one as well. I was really trying to see what kind of deposit I thought I'd have to pay. They've always asked me for one. I was surprised & they approved me this time. I even got an iPhone 4 w/ 8 Gig for .99 cents.
I went and got it because of this deal. I really didn't want to upgrade yet, but my Nexus S is really starting to show its age (bless its heart). Custom ROMs can only take you so far with a device that old. I really don't want an S4 (hardware buttons including the ugly physical home button, front Samsung branding, little dev community support compared to my Nexus S), but the deal was too good to pass up. I guess I could sell this for $400-450 (maybe more?) by the time the next Nexus phone is out. Anyway, I can't wait for it to arrive so I can experience some of that 1080p Gotdamoled goodness. I may even keep it if the bootloader situation and community support gets better.

I see, you seem to think I was talking about the community. I wasn't. I was badmouthing Samsung. In regards to the community, I was simply stating the current situation of things. The community support for this phone, in which there's not much going on, is a result of Samsung's and the carriers' doing.
I'm not sure how what I said could be misinterpreted to mean I'm bad-mouthing any entity other than Samsung. Calm down, read, and stop looking for something negative.

Yup, but it did sell with 2 cases plus 2 extra batteries. But still, I didn't expect that much. It was hard for me to part with my skyrocket as well, but wifey said sell it or no S4 lol.
