Glad they're launching these earlier. Better then the GS & GS2 American launch which launched months after the original version.

I'm not so sure about that. I hope you're right, though...

I would say get the s3

I formerly had two phones all the time and I hated it lol, however thinking about having a maxx and a s3 "just because" is so tempting. I just graduated however and don't have a job yet, BUT when i do have employment I could see myself needing a new "house phone" lolololol.

Last two phones I picked up was on launch day (Thunderbolt and now the Galaxy Nexus) but I think my upgrade not being ready till 6/28 could be a good thing. It makes me wait till they get the blue one in.

are we sure they wont be releasing the blue and white version at the same time?

I know there was a recall on the blue phones last month but I'm sure they would have that issue fixed by the time the US release is available?

Good point, I forgot, the US launch is after the rest of the world. They might have blue ones ready.

My upgrade has been ready since mid March and I will be pre-ordering the 16 gig phone as I have a 32gig SD card handy. But WOW....$199 for a brand new flagship LTE phone, I'm shocked. I was expecting $299 and have that put away already. I may spring for the 32gig model for the hell of it or at least buy a dock or something. My DroidX is in rough shape and the SIII could come sooner, but I guess I will have to wait. I'll probably get the blue phone as I'm not a fan of white phones, but I'll take whichever is available as cases are always an option. So stoked right now!
