Samsung Galaxy S III now at AT&T

AT&T's variant of the Samsung Galaxy S III has launched

Just in case it slipped your mind, we wanted to remind you that the Samsung Galaxy S III is now available from AT&T. Whether you go to your local AT&T store or order it online, don't expect to see a 32GB version. AT&T customers can only purchase the 16GB model, but the carrier had been suggesting that those customers who want more storage purchase a 16GB microSD card.

With a signed 2-year contract, the price of the Samsung Galaxy S III is $199.99 from AT&T or $549.99 off contract. Right now, the handset is available in marble white or pebble blue but somewhere down the road, the carrier will be offering an exclusive red color. Although some of its customers have already received pre-ordered Samsung Galaxy S III units, the next official launch belongs to Verizon with it's July 10th launch and that will be followed by the U.S Cellular launch.

Honestly no matter what carrier you choose, you're making a great investment in buying this phone. I absolutely love this phone.

Go to an AT&T store and check it out. You and only you can decide if you like the device. You can't decide on other peoples opinions.

I understand but its the only way really. Some people may say the S3 is too big and others say the iPhone is too small. The S3 has one of the best battery performance on android and only out done by the Razr Maxx. But the S3 has a removable battery so the trade off is worth it to some. Performance is very solid and fluid, matching IOS. It will depend on of you like IOS or Android more. But in the end you can't go wrong with either devices. Tho the iPhone 5 should be on its way in the next few months which will have a larger screen hopefully. But if you are on a return/exchange time frame you really need to check out the S3 in person.

I have the 4S also. The GS3 is a sweet phone u need big hands for one handed operation, colors pop, camera had lots of features but 4S had slightly better pic quality. I love both, SG3 is faster too.

I agree.. Galaxy S3 & iPhone 4s has the same camera sensor.. The picture quality is subjective, but Galaxy S3 has plenty of camera features including "zero shutter lag"..

they use the same camera but if you want a next generation cam wait for Nokia or next iphone, since they will most likely use a new camera, instead of using the 4s camera again

@ baseballer well i seen the s3 in person and i honestly dont like the design and the colors maybe the white version but still not for me. I ended up gettin and xperia ion which is black . Maybe if the s3 would be black I would of gotten it . Lol my friends all tell me well ur a gurl ur supposed to like the s3 cuz the design is kinda girly .. they were shocked when I came home with a Sony xperia ion they were all like that phone looks more manly . But its up to u wateva u wanna get just go to the store and look at the phone that u like and get it.

If you know your stuff about phones than you should have went with gs3. It comes with 2gigs of ram. Your sony comes with one and a lot less features. Bad choice. Gs3 clear winner

I ordered one at AT&T, then I walk to a store to play with one. It is lightning fast but that blue case is an abomination and I will be returning my order box unopened. I know they like blue in Asia but added to shiny plastic it feels real cheap. I will wait for the new Note II just around the corner. I love the case of the actual Note. They are supposed to make it look like an S3, scale wise(round corners) but I hope that they will use the same type of plastic as the I in black.

Actually I find the case of the first Note to be the perfect plastic case, very elegant and business looking. Even if they scale it to the form of an S3 I hope that they are going to keep the same black plastic material. The S3 looks like a cell phone made for a clown.

again, samsung puts out a curvy, cheap ass plastic toy phone that looks like a chick phone. no way, don't care how bad azz a phone is, it has to be asthetically pleasing, that is why i got the one x.

Like at Burberry today they dress the guys like girls. You cant find those old big and manly trench coats. What you get is a woman trench coat for men stopping above the knees with short sleeves. Make up required..The S3 looks like a chick phone indeed.
