For those wishing for a Samsung Galaxy S III on USCC, well-

[chrisbett72]

If I don't preorder do you think the price will go up once it hits the store? I kinda hate buying a phone that I can't touch. Plus I have never owned a Samsung phone.

I think there will probably be a shortage of phones, unless you live in an unpopulated area. I wouldn't be surprised if they can't fill all the preorders all at once. The price certainly won't go down, and wouldn't surprise me if it went up.

There is someone over at team us cellular site saying July 2nd is the day for USSC. Available in stores on the 2nd.

Take it FWIW.

THAT would be pulling another rabbit out of a hat for USSC.

I don't know if it will go up or not, and I don't want to find out.

Don't forget, you'll have to put in a sim card as well...from my understanding lte requires it.

True but I only think it's required if you actually have 4G in your area. Also, I'm sure it tells you to put it in with the literature.

I will not be happy if the price goes up. Being a business customer we are not allowed to preorder this phone for some reason. We were basically told that we would have to wait to get it at a store. I'm not sure why it would matter.

I'm thinking there might be a little glitch in USCC system. I pre-ordered a 32GB the first morning we could. Yesterday I went through the pre-order process again to see if it described the differences between device protection and signal insurance. It doesn't really describe them but the funny part is it looks like it would let me pre-order another phone and says I'm still eligible for an upgrade. I didn't totally complete the process and am unsure of what price you would pay in the long run.

is there a way to check the process of the pre order

[zoodski]

log in to your uscc account, click on profile dropdown in upper right hand corner, then click on view order history. It just shows your order and that it was completed.

Since you have to call USCC to activate the phone ultimately (if it's a new line, or an existing line), I suspect the discussion would be had then, if it even shipped in the first place and wasn't blocked during fulfillment.

Do you guys think that USCC will be delayed like all the other carriers?

Aren't the carrier delays a matter of days and mostly not affecting pre-orders? I think that's what I read. My big curiosity is when the first batch for USCC will be shipped to customers.

Just as an aside, Seidio has already started indexing accessories for it. Seeing as my Desire they decided NOT to make accessories for, I'm rather excited. Well, that and I'm tired of seeing "Low on Space" on my Desire. :-)

Well I read that the 32GB and behind too. I just want this thing to come out. I NEED this phone so bad.

And are you getting Seidio instead of Otterbox?

I hope it'll be a matter of days difference and not weeks. That'd stink. I pre-ordered a 32GB.

I always buy Seidio holsters and shells. Otterbox doesn't interest me at all.

Seidio's are great, if a bit pricey.
