sold out? i find that hard to believe... so many people heralded the HOX as the best phone ever and the only reason it was sold out was because of the customs thing which happened after launch. on top of that, because so many people bit on the HOX, a lot less are going to be able to pick up the SGS3.
edit: also, the usual Android sites would've reported them selling out of pre-orders. maybe it's just your area.
The person gave you a canned response. If you tell them its a pre order they'll tell you the real story. Same thing happened to me.
