Thanks for finding the 10% off. I just ordered a S3! Couldn't pass up that price.

yea, that is quite the price. I got the S5, considering it's a rather crazy 40% off; been looking to upgrade from the majorly underwhelming LG Volt.

Picked up the S III for the $99 deal yesterdayto replace a Kyocera Hydro Icon. The call volume is too low to hear anywhere but in a sound lab.

Wish I had seen this post sooner. Never thought about a coupon.

it's here! interestingly, it comes in the small brown box like the post-paid carriers, rather then virgin's in stores whre it's the normal big white box

Is there any Virgin Mobile branding on the phone?

 

[np6s4x]

the ram usage kinda surprises me: over 1gb, but having 700-800mb free (more then the volt came with) is nice

Is there any Virgin Mobile branding on the phone?

Absolutely no carrier branding, the only branding is "Samsung" and "Galaxy S5". The one i got is boost but looks like the virgin version is the same. (would make sense to be exactly the same hardware).

On a different note, I've noticed that in it's current unactivated state there seems to be 0% carrier bloat, wonder if there's a way to prevent the carrier apps from downloading right after activation? Sure could go without things like connection optimizer, and the randomly appearing apps; hopefully that's only a virgin thing.

Anybody who ordered the S3 on Cyber Monday - did you get the case? I ordered two (holy moley, what an upgrade over the Warp Sequent) but alas, no cases came in the box.

Yes, I received the flip cover as they advertised.

I called this morning. The very nice customer service agent told me it was a "while supplies last" situation. I didn't order until almost 9 pm.

 

[ZingBot]

I ordered around 8:00am

I guess you were the early bird and the case was the worm ...

S5 for that price. Huh maybe it's time for an upgraded.. That's a fairly good deal.
