Well we at least know insidesprintnow has already stated that the web page for pre orders are coming. So even if those pics were photoshopped, who knows...that could be the phone. I just want at least a 32 gig with the 2 gigs of ram and dd card.


My have read a few places that all the phones for the first few months will be 16 gigs.

I bet this will be out by end of June or early July.

2gb Ram and physically unchanged from the international model. Since S-Voice is integrated in the physical button Samsung is probably requiring all carriers to keep the button.

The 20th is the New York event, so anytime between the 20th and July is what I'm expecting.

Those pics were photoshopped by Android Police, I don't understand why people keep posting them..

This thread is the first I've seen those pictures. Perhaps the people who have distributed these pictures are not people who frequent Twitter? People are also excited for the US to get the GS3, and because of that, I can understand why people get whisked away with fakes.

There is a thread in the Sprint forum and in the EVO LTE forum with the pics posted. AP also posted them on their facebook.

My point was was that they were fake. How else would they have gotten the photos if not from AP's post? It's not like any other site picked up the photos and posted them as real.

I have no doubt that after seeing the FCC filing for both Verizon's and Sprint's model that the design will remain unchanged, but that doesn't mean those photos still weren't photoshopped. :)

So are all the phones available from each carrier going to be the same spec size wise? Should make the cases available for it universal, correct? I can't decide if I want the blue or white, step son is getting my SGSII. Sure I'll have to get the wife one too...she still has the OG EVO and it's showing it age. Hope Sprint lets me upgrade early My upgrade is due July 1rst!

can anyone explain to me the advantages of paying $50 for an extra 16gb of space when you can just buy a bigger SD card?

Is this just for the hardcore people who want to have 128 gb of space?

Well with the 16 gigs you get about 9 gigs that can actually be for the apps. For some reason ICS doesn't allow you to save to the sd card like previous versions of Android. So paying the extra $50.00 you can have the knowing you will be ok and if you were to add a 64 gig card like I am going to do, that can be for your music and pics and vids.
