AT&T Pre-Order and Release date discussion thread

I got mine today and I'm impressed. Not too hard coming from a Torch...

I can't believe how bad-ass Music Manager is. Had to ask my 13 year old how to convert my itunes to my new Android phone, though.

So my saga finally ends, saw a voicemail from ATT on my phone today, assumed it was the come get it message. But just before I leave the house figure I better listen...sure enough it's the lady saying we got SGS3, but only the white one (I preordered blue), but I can come get a white one if I want...which I dont want

So I'm mad about yet ANOTHER delay, but I decide to call other ATT stores, sure enough the first one has it, including blue. So I go pick it up. Now all I have to do is go cancel my preeorder at the original store.

...so you actually have it in hand? If so, brilliant news.

Picked mine up from my local AT&T store yesterday

This phone seems to be a real keeper. I did away with the Touch Wiz launcher and installed the Nova launcher. No complaints yet...........

When I inquired as to the delivery date from Radio Shack, I was told that there would likely be a delay of about a week beyond the original estimate (ordered it on 6/24, was told to expect it during the first week in July). I was pleasantly surprised to get the call last Friday (7/6). I picked it up the following day. Radio Shack transferred the the data from my iPhone (which I traded in for more than the cost of the S3), and I walked out a happy man. I connected it to my PC, and the phone discovered my music on iTunes ... uploaded all of it seamlessly. I then created my e-mail account, and I was good to go. I really like the device, and am still discovering what it can do. After being joined at the hip with every iPhone up to 4 (thankfully I didn't spring for the 4S ... would have had to wait another two years for an upgrade), Android is a totally new experience ... and so far, so good. Now I can see for myself why everyone is raving.
