Anyone else puzzled by this release date? 3rd quarter ends at the end of September, and it really doesn't look like Samsung are going to make that. But they would have known that when they announced it too, so anyone any clue what a quarter is to Samsung?
Id say wait till the 25th.

It looks like Samsung runs a calendar year Fiscal Year so likely are releasing it on 9/25 but may not take into account any "shipped" sales as part of the 3rd quarter numbers. Instead take those numbers as sales into the 4th quarter since they may or may not be in transit. We don't know.
i saw somewhere on XDA that the release wouldnt be until early october, i'll have to try to find it again. anyways i find it strange that if they ARE going to release it on the 25th that we haven't been allowed to preorder etc. they've released no details about release date or pricing.
You would think if it was going to be released in 3 days we would atleast know the price or a for sure date or who was selling it.

I'm going to say is going to be available probably end of October, that way they can advertise for holidays

I'm in the same boat. Only have had mine a few months. What will really fire me up is if it comes out before we have ICS on this one lol.

Ah, I'm running ICS right now and judging from some other threads I saw we might be getting ICS soon.
Rev 2 of our phones will be shipping with ICS apparently.

Doesn't Matter if they keep making these second class variants for US carriers.
Plus with everyone talking about how much they hate TW then what is there to look forward to on this phone.

Unless you wanted to wait until November to get the SIII, you made a good choice.
SII came out in April, landed in USA carriers in november. Just because they are doing an unveiling doesn't mean it'll come onto market the next day...
But I suppose you have the option of paying 600+ dollars for unlocked, international which still isnt a bad price, but I can think of a few places to put that 600 besides a phone. I'm happy I got the SII for FAR on the down payment.
Can always sell the SII and buy the SIII that way you save some bread..... but I can't wait to see this bad boy, even tho I may not want my SII anymore bcuz of it
SGH-T989
I bought thisnphone onnlaunch day at tmobile. I di agree it wont be getting launhed here in the states till way after the international release. Im saying 6 months after intl gets it well start to get news about carrier releases. If i do get it im buying it unlocked. But i did promise myself id stick with a phone until its no longer usable. I love my sgs2. Updates can wait because this can do everyrhing i need. I can do other thinga with 600+ dollars.

I'm guessing it will be awhile before we get it. All this confirms is an unveiling over seas.
On a side note check my new sig guys thought it was cool
Apples iPhone, There's a patent for that. Solving lifes dilemmas one lawsuit at a time.
I have little faith it will launch on US carriers the same day. We all know how US Carriers have serious fetish with bloats.
What I have heard is the moved back the launch date so it will launch in the states at the same time

This is utter BULLHONKY. I've had this phone since October and have been patiently waiting for ICS, and I swear that if Galaxy S III comes out before ICS for Galaxy S II I will DISOWN SAMSUNG and never buy a phone from them.

Exactly!! Anyone who thinks this phone will drop in the US anytime soon is crazy. Bloatware comes first when it comes to phones in the US. carriers will try anything to get more money from you. We were the last to see the galaxy sII on tmobile. Why would we see this phone anytime before January next year?
If there is no option for native ICS then I will pass. The galaxy sII will live on long past the release of the gsIII..
Well if it does get launched before June (which looks to be the case) I'm selling this phone and getting the international version. The 4G speeds don't matter to me since I never get over 8mbps anyway. I'd rather have the phone that gets updates right away and has better rom development.
Has anybody heard anything about the note 2 and when its coming to nz? It's on mobicity, but would prefer to wait for it to come to a carrier eg. 2degrees.

Not sooner than the end of the October. Can't be more specific than that, but my source is beyond dispute.

Yeah, wish it had been a simultaneous release like the S3, but I guess the staggered release schedule for the Note 2 reflects its placement as a more niche device (also with the delays/shortfalls of stock for the grey colour in markets like the UK it is likely that production numbers are having an impact on the rollout).
It could even be early next year

At&t is doing preorders starting April 16th with no confirmed release date. T-Mobile says May 1st is the release date for them. And Sprint has said nothing although I think it past through the FCC today which means around the May I would think. A regional manager from a Sprint corporate store told me July but I've rarely come across anyone that works at any carrier that usually knows what they are talking about.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
early may --> early june. I'm going to wait for the hype to die down before I get mine. I'll probably wait a month or two after it comes out so they can get all the bugs/hardware flaws worked out. Side by side, the S3 and S4 probably will have no visual differences in speed. Unless you are using your phone to run high end games/apps....I dont see the point of buying the s4. 4 processors are nice...but under normal circumstances your phone never really uses more than two cores for basic use.
Sprint is saying the HTC One is dropping on April 19, so Id say Samsung will try to get as close to that date as possible

The second quarter just started and ends June 30th. Also that's if everything goes exactly to plan, no delays and what not. I'm thinking May though, it could easily be June.

Agreed. Goodbye Samsung. It's pathetic that its going to 2014 before a phone released in October 2012 gets a software update. You've lost me as well.

More like January or Feb, I'd say or maybe never...at least for the Sprint variant. It isn't in Sprint's interest to push updates unless the other carriers do. Of course Samsung wants to get these updates moving because they want the public to feel they'll be supported if they purchase a Samsung branded device but brand loyalty isn't in Sprints interests unless the brand is Sprint and that of course is usually maintained at the end of a very thin thread as it is.
As for the possibility of receiving the 4.3 update. I'm always excited about OTA updates because updates play a fairly big role in future versions of Android. The more updates there are the more well understood it is what the public wants/needs from future versions because of the broader spectrum of users providing feedback.
For my own personal device...I don't care. I run what I want on my device anyway regardless of whatever Samsung/Sprint/Google push. I don't give a rats ass about having a "pure" Android experience or being the first to get the latest version (no offense to the Nexus fans) either. I want my device dirty and nasty with a big moustache. I don't want be like one of those creeps that hangs around the strip clubs but never pays for a lap dance...I'm in the champaign room and let me tell you there is more going on in there than the song says. Why do you think I'm hanging around here? Trick it, brick it, fix it, trick it and brick it again...that's what it all about.

a million times, this.. love the removable battery and storage but not sure if it's worth the [email protected]!%
Yea don't really care because Google separated their core services from the operating system so most of the really great feature are now pushed through Google rather than being a part of a new os version.
Android updates aren't as feature rich anymore.

To the ones complaining who are you going to then? Unless its a Google phone it will be the same across all manufacturers. At least we have a date. Samsung actually announces all devices that will be upgraded at the same time unlike others like HTC who just tells u that their it phone of the moment will be upgraded while the rest get lost in forgotten land. Samsung actually has been the best non Google manufacturer with updates to their Galaxy line..

Pretty sure that you're missing the point.
The updates that we all are anxious for are system updates that ROM devs can work with, make better ROMs for us all. Definitely worth "complaining" about.
That other thread is about a fault where the phone thinks it needs a software update, but not really, or the update in question is actually not desirable for whatever reason.
Welcome to XDA.

I've been thinking long n hard about that, as an option. I do love my Note2, with the exception of the plastic, it's a badass device. But I don't actually use the pen as much as I thought I would. So taking a long look at the HTC Mega (?), and hoping that it makes it to the US... I allow myself a new phone every year, it being a hobby I indulge myself in, and I always buy outright, no ETF charges...
