I wish they'd do it now, I'd like to sign up but the S3 they sell is $100+ more than the ones on ebay.

Q4 is kind of vague, too. 10/1 or 12/1?

I wish they would do it now also, I'm looking to move, but need to save a little more money for the SGIII, unless I can find one cheap somewhere else.

Sounds like they still need to get some things straight with Sprint, hence the few months wait.

Announced over the weekend, the Galaxy SIII is in stock and shipping, Galaxy SII is on sale for $390.
HTC Evo 4g is up on site for sale now, with the ZTE Warp coming soon.
