Hey guys does anyone know when T-Mobile is going to start taking pre orders? East Coast USA I've called my local store and they say it will only be available online for preorder. I registered for updates about it, but I don't believe that is the same as preordering it. Any help or insight guys?

Good find on this... hopefully it is preorder for t-mobile devices... This probably doesn't even need to be said, but don't preorder a ATT model because it won't work with t-mobile 4G service.

I was in there yesterday and they are in fact taking pre orders. $25 down. Has anyone used Walmart before? Would it be the same phone? Maybe cheaper price but same service?
She said she didn't know when they were actually getting the phone though... Is it okay to pre order?

Okay I need an aswer to this by tomorrow... I figured id ask here while I look on google.
Will best buy be offering the UK or a GNex version wiithout the LTE radio in it for people say on T-Mobile orf those who don't want the LTE radio in it?
I'm asking because my parents are either going to get the SGS2 (which is inferior with T-Mobiles version) or the GNex and I'm the one deciding which. Obviously I want the GNex, but not sure I do if it comes with the LTE radio in it..
Thanks in advance for the nice responses!

There is no GSM version officially released in the US. You have to import and buy full price.

Probably not until either AT&T or T-Mobile starts selling them. Has BB (or ANY major B&M retailer) ever sold "non-carrier branded" devices? I don't think so. They make money on the contracts. If they could avoid hardware completely they'd do it in a second.
Well I'm just thinking maybe when Tmobile starts selling them they might see fit to sell the GSM edition as they don't seem to have LTE in the near future.. do you guys think maybe that's a possibility?

right now best buy only sells the Verizon LTE version.
if the device ever launches in the USA in a GSM version, you'll be sure they'll carry that as well like they did with the Nexus S.

Best Buy Mobile was actually the exclusive retailer for the Nexus S. Unlocked unbranded. Subsidized on tmobile. In fact they still sell the Nexus S unlocked unbranded and subsidized on att.

First of all, wtf at your grammar and using the wrong words. Do you even look back at your words after you type them out?
Secondly, nobody knows for sure if America will get any version other than the LTE model. It's all assumption until an announcement is made.

Whoa, calm down. Its from the XDA App, so it was an Autocorrect from 'retarded'.
Now, I am just debating if I am willing to spend $50.00 more to get the phone 30 days earlier. I just wish there was some OFFICIAL talk if the GSM version is going to be available stateside.
Verizon has it exclusive for 60 days from launch according to someone I spoke with from Samsung.
After talking with someone from AT&T, you'll probably see it there in February or March.

I have t-mobile, but if I had att I wouldn't switch just because of handset availability.
If you are out of contract you should weigh the pros and cons of each in terms of coverage in your area, pricing of comparable plans to satisfy your needs, and THEN device selection.
Plus if you wait a lil longer you can maybe get your hands on the red version!
You realise you can get the AT&T GS3 overnighted to you. You just have to call up and ask for one.
I have a new line with the one x and I'm within my 30 days maybe I'll just see if bb has them. I would switch carriers based on horrible service that att has

LOL, Best Buy is not selling AT&T Galaxy S3's over the counter! I dont know where you have heard that, but you definitely haven't been following either of the 2 Official Best Buy Galaxy S3 threads.
If Best Buy does have them in stock for AT&T, which is a HUGE IF, they are saying they cannot sell them because AT&T has not announced an official release date/launch date. I know, that makes not sense and is a huge lie, but that is what they are saying.
So NO, Best Buy is not selling AT&T Galaxy S3's over the counter.

That DINC can be used on alternate networks like cricket or metropcs that accept foreign esns... it not really hard to flash/reprogram them if you look a little bit.. that's the reason they are sold on craigslist all the time.

They want the unlocked bootloader of the T-Mobile Note 3 (GSM) for easy rooting and ROM'ing, but want to use it on ATTs more expensive (GSM) network. Has the ATT Note3's bootloader been hacked yet? I don't even know.

Number 1 advantage is signal and real lte and more coverage I pretty much get 4G almost everywhere , T-mobile has too many dead spots. Even betting I'm using a straight att sim and getting 18- 20+ mbps download
