Pricing: $199 for 16 GB
$249 for 32 GB

Colors: Pebble Blue or Marble White

I preordered the 16gb Marble White from Best Buy. I'm hoping they have the 32gb in by the time it launches. I got the $50 off deal from them along with some giftcards. That's why I'm not buying from Sprint.

You guys should check out the accessories section. Lots of stuff there including dlna wifi hub like the htc media hub. Batteries and cases/replacement back cover.

I haven't pre-ordered, but otherwise I'm in the same boat as you are! I've had the EVO 4g, EVO 3d, and nothing else. I loved HTC, but I thought that I should try out the Galaxy s3.

Is anyone else distressed that Sprint is getting the dual core version instead of the quad? I'm just asking...

Just because you are paranoid, it doesn't mean that people aren't after you.

All the US carriers are getting the Dual Core, and as far as I've read, they're pretty much on par with each other. Check out some of the threads on the forum, people seem to generally agree (Or, as much as one can agree on the internet) that the differences are minimal.

/shrug

Also, Preordered my 32GB Pebble Blue to replace my Evo 3D that wasn't all I expected it to be.

Depends on how much 50$ is worth to you.

If you're a poor college kid, go with the 16. If 50$ is "Meh" pocket cash, then go with the 32. Lol... That's how I decided. "How badly will I miss that extra 50$?"

The answer? Not much. Lol

Money isn't a problem I'm just wondering if 32 is overkill when u can have up to 32 SD slot wise.
