Reason I pre ordered with them is I have $120 gift card in addition to the $50 I put down for the preorder and $50 phone freedom.

Ya I used a $350 gift card from my Nexus Trade in :( The two phone freedom gift cards at the end were a nice plus.

just called my local store and they got a shipment of GS3's in today but for sprint :crying:

i asked him about the att shipment and he said that was in transit and could be in as early as tomorrow or monday. When i asked him how many there were getting he said they will have enough phones to cover all preorders, he couldn't tell me how many specifically were preordered.

my mind is somewhat at ease now i got a decent person to give me some solid information. hopefully the phones come in tomorrow so i can play with it over the weekend, if not then monday for sure.

I'm not 100% positive, but I'm pretty sure you cannot use the Phone Freedom towards the phone...

I asked about that when I almost upgraded before and the guy was like "I can ask my manager but I don't think so, but you can use it for accessories."

Also, I was unaware of any kind of $50 promotional GC like the Evo has... Of Course Watertown does... NH already has theirs in, Watertown gives $50... Dedham does nothing hahaha

i wish all best buys were getting in the phones for those who preordered. i preordered 6/5 and both stores around my area have no clue when they will get the phones in, and they are estimating july for me.

Dublin received 1 today.
Santa Rosa, CA where I preordered, phone conversation.

Me: Did you receive the Sprint GS3 shipment today?
BB: Let me check.
BB: Which color did you order?
Me: Pebble blue.
BB: No, we haven't received them.
Me: Did you receive the white phones?
BB: No.

WTF, why did they even question the color before telling me they didn't receive any?

Just called up again: 20-30 pre-orders at the store, and they received 1 phone. I can't be mad at the mobile rep, but come on BB. Received 1??!! The mobile rep seemed pretty confident that they will be getting more shipments soon, but still has no idea when they will come in.

Just called my local BB and they said they have not yet received them, but are still expecting them to come today. He did note that the harsh storms passing through might delay them until tomorrow. He also stated that you can only purchase them if you pre-ordered. I will be calling back in a few hours to see if they received them.
