Ordered mine on 7-6 (paid outright for it to keep my unlimited) and received it today 7-10. I will charge it in the morning and activate it tomorrow.

Then the duel begins Razr Maxx VS. Samsung Galaxy SIII. The loser gets sold!!

The only reason I paid outright was to keep my unlimited and I know that I have a Razr Maxx that is highly sought after and I can sell with my accessories for over $500. This thing is like new with all accessories. So I paid $650 for the SG3 and $500 return on my Maxx, so basically I will only pay $150 out of pocket.

You might get $400-$450.

Pre-ordered the 5th day and got it on the 6th!!

I pre-ordered my phone at Best Buy on the 6th, first day they were taking orders. After trying to get an answer from ANYONE on how that would play out with keeping my current unlimited plan, I decided to order one online through Verizon too. Ordered it on the 26th through Verizon, received it today. :icon_ banana:

Still haven't heard anything from Best Buy.

Good thing you went through Verizon, because you would have lost unlimited with Best Buy.

Some people were having issues with their card company denying the online charge. Have you called them (the card company) and asked what the issue is?

i talk to verizon rep over the phone and they were not able to charge it to my verizon account or my credit card. they said that there is something wrong on there part and they are not able to process the order. now i have to wait for their IT department to figure it out. i pre order mine white 16gb galaxy s3 for $99, i don't know if that has to do anything with it.

HI,
I have an unlimited Verizon data plan and put the galaxys3 on preorder. I just learned that they will ship with a locked bootloader!. This may make the unlimited data much less valuable! I had intended to use easy tether , to hard tether to my lap top (without the need to root the phone).... has anyone tried this? I have buyers regret already, please advise!!! I'm tempted to cancel the preorder due to the very high restocking fee ($70!). If I knew for a fact that easy-tether would work I would feel much better about my expensive pre-order.
thanks for your support,
Vickie
PS, you can tell I'm new and not android savy. I hate the thought of having to root a brand new phone and risk ruining it. Not to mention that It might be impossible to root anyway (as least for me).

If you aren't android savvy then a locked boot loader doesn't mean anything to you

if you can follow directions you will be able to root it easily
