I went through best buy... SPRINT!

I went through Best Buy for Verizon.

the thing i worry about with best buy is that they don't process the order until it ships, so if vzw cuts grandfathered unlimited data plans before the s3 ships you could lose your unlimited data (if you have it now that is) But I guess worst case scenario you could always cancel the best buy order and preorder through vzw as soon as vzw announces they are killing unlimited data

You lucky guys

I won't be able to upgrade till Oct. but again the Nexus2 will be coming out also

My phone plan with sprint unlimited data and 1500 minutes for me and my wife is $144 a month. What is Verizon wireless plan look like?

On a side note my friend is jealous that I'm getting the s3 he offered his phone + 3 nights with his wife. Lol. Of course he was kidding

Looks like it won't happen though. They tried to add it on to the lawsuit they filed against the Nexus, but they weren't allowed to. Looks like they will have to start a whole new case for the S3 which will probably take long enough so that we can all get our phones.

b1adesofcha0s · 06-07-2012, 01:38 PM

For anyone else that pre-ordered through Best Buy, did you get an e-mail saying that your order total is $699.99? I'm assuming that they will just apply the upgrade discount when you actually go and pick up the phone. I'll have to call BB to confirm this though.

Boost_lee · 06-08-2012, 03:26 AM

We are getting the dual core version, correct? How is it holding up against the quad core version?

No email yet from Best Buy! But yeah they will just apply the upgrade discount when you get it. Do you get the $9.99 extra a month insurance thing on your phone? Like if the phone breaks or something they will replace it full if you have that insurance?

Yes, and only if you upgrade after verizon rolls out the new data plans.

the alternative is to buy it out right

in order to keep your unlimited plan from what I read

Yeah I think so.

If you upgrade your phone (and renew your contract by 2 years by doing so) before Verizon comes out with their new data plan then you will keep your unlimited data.
