I hope it is the S3.. Sadly Att probably won't release it until many months later.I hope its sooner so I can still sell my skyrocket for a good price.

I think ATT has a track record of six months post-release average for superphones, if I remember correct. So your guess is pretty decent.

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.

Galaxy S III delayed 1 week!!

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?

Samsung sells 20 Million Galaxy S4s !

Hey guys.
Here is the news again. Just keep in mind that from the word "Sold" , samsung means "Shipped" to retailers and not the actual consumer. For those who thought S4 isn't doing well compared to the mega hit S3, read the quote below:
Samsung has sold over 20 million Galaxy S4 units (supply basis) in a span of two months. The figure was apparently confirmed by JK Shin to Korean reporters and will help refute the speculation about lower-than-expected sales of Galaxy S4.The phone went on sale in late April and reached the milestone by end of June. In comparison, Galaxy S III took 100 days to reach the same 20 million mark.

Doesn't mean anything to me.
I just checked the price of s4, it dropped 1000DKK during the past 1 month since I bought it.
I know that the price will drop but never expect it will drop so fast like this.

S4 sales into the channel (retailers, service providers, distributors) have been fine, it's sell through that's been the issue and there's no independent confirmed numbers available anywhere. However it's clear from component supplier information and the drop in Sammies share price that sales are less then exemplary. Having read quite a few comparative reviews the S4 is not beating the HTC One (often HTC small win or draw) so the impact on Sammie won't be seen till next quarter and I'm expecting further price drops.
Haven't bought an S4 yet but if the screen on the active is good that's where I'm heading.

That info comes from South Korean sources, nothing official. Considering Samsung has 70%+ mobile market share in Europe and spends 30% more on marketing than Apple, I wouldn't be surprised if these figures are true.

It is not so surprising. I live in Italy and i can assure you that getting a HTC one (direct S4 competitor) is almost impossible due to availability. SO a lot of ppl is getting sgs4 out of bother for waitng HTC and moreover Samsung is pushing its marketing to the limits.

It's now 20.000.001, my brother bought GS4 yesterday

And it is actually selling much better than the HTC one.

it was always going to sell very well it was kind of a given

Samsung has a rapist arse load of $$$$ for marketing even more than apple so don't be surprised if they'd sell this much

Zero lemon battery case Nexus 6p

I just emailed them to get a update seeing how they made one for the nexus 6 and low and behold look at this. Just received it this morning. I will be patient and will not buy another case. Hopefully this brings good news to all.

Its always nice to see more cases being made for this phone. Will keep an eye out for it.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

This is good news. It would be great for long trips.

Or short ones...lol. I'm currently getting about 6 hours of battery life off of a full charge. That's with stock Marshmallow. I think this latest March update did something that offends my battery.

That's awesome

Just another update to support the email. The rep said on the Facebook page maybe in may. So we can all cross our fingers a d hope for may.

I can't wait. Coming from my Zerolemon 10000 on my old Note 3 to this phone was hard.

update: should come out mid May according to an email I got from Zerolemon, but I don't understand why they are not posting some pictures and an official release date on their website/facebook page

Why do companies like this wait for so long to release this? If they had it within the first 2 months or so I would have for sure bought it, but at this point whenever it really comes in not so sure. Coming from a nexus nerd I'll have to get the new one that's probably 5ish months away based on typical releases.

They may not have gotten a phone to do development till release of the phone, then it would take time to design and spin up new products.

Doesn't look like it will be released until next month.

It probably won't ever be released by the look of things. Just buy a powerbank if you need the extra juice, that's what I did.

Yep, seems to be DOA...

By the time they release it I'm gonna have a note 6 or nexus 6p.2 or nexus 7(?)

I guess you right.. just when you wanna get comfortable and stay with one phone.

Does anyone else make a product similar?
How much thickness does it add? Maybe there's a picture somewhere online of say a Nexus 5 with and without?
How does it actually work? Does it just charge your internal battery or does it somehow switch off internal and use external battery?

Now they are saying July
https://twitter.com/zero_lemon/status/730314346438369280
Atr this point, i give up. Just need a company to make a small battery pack I guess.

they did this with the 6, I think the case was released a month or so before the 6p was announced. it was a good case though

We finally have a date july 15th. I have been watching this so closely and I hope its made really well and works well. I will be ordering it day one.

LG v20 Philippine users

Anyone else do a preorder for the LGv20? I ordered one through Avant and noticed the one other person who preordered was also coming from a note 7.
I'll be picking my unit up October 31. Fortunately within the refund window of my note 7

I'm thinking of preordering one. I hear the dual sim version that we will get also has fm radio enabled. Not to mention the free extra batt and 200sd card. Does the B&O headphone come with it?

According to the sales person I talked to, it comes with both the free battery and b and o headphones. Wasn't able to ask about the FM radio. Avant in greenbelt has a display unit that you can play with so you can go check that out. I don't know if other branches will have display units...I only went and preordered in avant. No LG store in Makati..

Update. I went back to the store I ordered the unit from and talked w the sales person there. Seems LG Philippines didn't think they would need that many sd cards that they bundled with the pre order. All preorders from last Saturday onwards will have the sdcards to follow because they didn't order enough.
Heard the avant Makati branch has around 35 pre ordered units while the mega mall preorders reached more than a thousand already. No idea about other pre order stores.

Does Avant Makati have enough SDs? I am planning to preorder on the 28th.

The person I talked to said all orders from last Saturday onwards will be affected by the limited stocks. You can try giving them a call before you go

Ok I just preordered today. The waiting game starts now...
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Labs

Release date October 31,Monday. A very weird date to release a phone.

I know. Why a Monday? Should have done it on a Saturday. But at least it's a holiday.
Even their pre orders started on a weekday...
I can't wait.. Lol
I'm going to miss my note 7 though...
Most of the v20 sales came from ex note 7 users. So Samsung really dropped the ball here. Funny how they asked what was our old unit when we did the pre order. Did they always use to do that? Or just now? To see if the note buyers move to them?

I already purchased a clear ringke fusion while waiting for it. Im also planning on getting a dbrand skin. Just not sure what color to get atm.

Someone posted the retail package in another group for philippine release. Two batteries and the b&o headset is already in the box. I only wished that extra batt came with a charging kit for more convenience.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Labs

Anyone did the reservation in Abenson?

I did. No word from Avant yet but other stores including LG already began releasing it to those who preordered yesterday. Oh well...

just got mine today, one 200Gb Sandisk sdcard, two 3200mAh battery and a B&O earphone... but sadly, no charging kit...

How are the included earphones? They are b&o but they dont look like h3s as far as I can tell.
Are you using dual sims? Do they both get lte or do you need to set up which one thatll use it?
I'm still in the fence here. I still have till monday to decide.

Got mine as well. I think someone mentioned the SD card.. It's 200g.. Not 2 hehe.
So far so good.

So Avant already has them? Or did you get it elsewhere?

Yes, both sim supports LTE, but not at the same time, the B&O IEM are not the H3, they are much cheaper than the H3, and much rounder, probably give you a better fit, cound be made by LG with B&O logo, could be wrong, but the built quality is considered good.

I just got mine today from cmk. It came this morning and was supposed to come on the 31st but they allowed me to pick it up today. They didn't predict so many pre orders so I have to get the 200gb SD card a week from now. It comes with an extra battery and headphones but no extra battery cradle. For those who have it, does the light breed on the upper left? Other than that it's perfect!
