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.

Oh, this might be one of the best things I have read all day. Well done! Thanks for sharing it!
As for the GS III.. Meh. Glad I don't really want one.
Here's an opportunity for Rogers to release ICS for the S2 *nudge nudge*, honestly thoughI just feel that this is to drum up more hype in the S3....
Pee ordered mine today from att. Still showing on time by the 21St. Guess Canada has to wait.

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.
Sincerely,
Your Friends at Sams Club

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?

They normally set up the forum ahead of launch.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
sure do.. there is a forum already for the optimus 3d and its been up for over a month.. and that phone doesnt even have a release date yet!!.. seriously can we get a infuse 4g forum up.. im planning on getting the phone on launch day!!
I wouldn't say it's being blackballed but........the SGSII, Atrix, and others had forums months before their actual launches. There has been plenty of mention of the Infuse in other forums to warrant its own, but for some reason the Moderator is holding off despite several requests/suggestions from others in addition to my own.
I'm hoping to see a dedicated forum up soon as well. Lack of xda dev support is my only real concern with this phone.
And speaking of dev support, I wondering what the unlocking situation will be. I have to comit to having someone buy it for me on Sunday as I am currently living out of the US. I hope I don't purchase it to later find out that there will be problems unlocking it. Although from what I hear, Samsung is pretty good about this stuff.
On another note, many of us are still wondering what the off contract price will be. Nothing seems to be set in stone just yet, but people seem to be assuming around $499.
Costco not selling Infuse until Sunday 5/15 even though coupon for $30 off is dated 5/12-6/5.

What's your source on that? Does Costco only sell to you thru contract or will they do it full price.

Questioned kiosk manager due to discrepancy of dates . They got memo clarifying. Believe they will sell at full retail, but no phone leaves building without being activated. Costco ultra conservative and won't jeopardize any business relationships.

went into a local at&t store today to get a sim card and asked about the infuse.. they had the phone there in stock and said it would be $599 off contract!! .. im hoping that it is not true and its only around $499 but that is what i was told from the at&t store... just sharing..

I know.... no forum for the Infuse sucks. I've been on some other forums and we're all hoping its $499 off contract. I'm trading in my Atrix on friday for this one and hopefully I can squeeze them to let me out with one early.

there is a system dump on the other android forums right now.
So I broke down and bought the Galaxy Nexus last night. I am going to be selling my MT4G. Its in excellent condition. I will post up some good pics later today if anyone is interested in purchasing it here. I literally have everything it came with. It was brand new about 2 months ago, when I got a brand new (not a refurb) as a replacement. It is already rooted. It has CM7 on it, but pretty sure you will be able to put on it what ever you want. Only reason i switched is because tmobile's coverage is just not good where I am... and my fiance and I got the family plan at Verizon.
So let me knowif any of you are interested in it. Not sure what they are going for, but just make me a reasonable offer. I will post pics later today when I get home. And I live in the US and would prefer to sell to someone here in the states.
Hope its ok to be posting this on here. If its not, sorry.
Cheers!

I was hoping to get $200 for it. It is barely used and they seem to be going for a lot more on ebay. But I will email you by the end of the week and let you know what I have decided as far as putting it up there or not. It would be a lot easier to just sell it to you...
Id sell to that guy. By time the fees are paid and shipped you'll end up with about 150. There fees are UN real anymore. Stopped selling because of it and only deal with craigslist anymore.

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.

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...

Jesus I might as well buy a Titan II or a one XL
Btw, there is one rumor (at least) on a Japanese website that the phone will be released not in the usual black or white colors... but in dark blue or white, as shown in the press notification "teaser" pictured here.
It's the first time I've heard this "rumor". I don't give it any more credence than the usual rumor, except that I tend to believe Japanese sites more than English.
I do like the "brushed aluminum" effect in dark blue.

It works for me. I have two phone plans, so I got the Skyrocket in November and will pick up the SII in November also. One new phone every year. yay.
There was also some talk that Samsung wanted to do a WORLDWIDE launch that includes the US.
Thus the delay in the GSIII (GSII Was announced Feb 13, 2011, we are well over the one year release cycle).
Samsung misses out a huge US market when it fails to launch HOT products early. So I can see them trying to launch in the US too, well I'm hoping that .
I don't think I want a quad core phone.... Think of the battery life.
It is with a heavy heart that I must announce...my Blaze is gone. I fell asleep at a party & when I woke up, it had vanished. The douche probably ripped out the sim card, too, so no go there.
It's been a fantastic ride, and I wish all you guys the best. You ARE the best.

I remember my first Android. HTC Thunderbolt. I was in Iraq (Camp Ramadi, to be specific) and my contract with Verizon was suspended during my deployment, so I bought it on launch day for full retail of $750 online. Prior to that, I had the Blackberry Tour, and prior to that a Motorola Windows CE phone. Since the Thunderbolt, I got a Wildfire S (never do THAT again), a Galaxy S II i777, Blaze 4G, and Galaxy S II i989. If my next device isn't a Nexus, it'll probably be a Sony or Motorola. As much as I love the Blaze and S II's, Samsung is starting to become a burden with their blobs and lets face it, their last couple flagships have been shoddy at best, at least construction-wise. And the big center physical buttons? What is this, 2010? Nobody wants that. At least, I don't.
