T-Mobile breaks up Galaxy S3 launch into two phases – June 21 and June 27

T-Mobile has decided to split the launching of the much-awaited Samsung Galaxy S3 under their turf. In a statement released today, the carrier mentioned that selected retail and branded locations who are in their “Top 29 Markets” list will be getting the device on June 21, as scheduled. The rest, on the other hand, will be launching on the 27th of this month. T-Mobile also revealed the corresponding pricing of the Galaxy S3. It will be priced at $629.99 without contract, $229.99 down on Value Plans with $20 EIP, or $279.99 on their Classic plan after a $50 mail-in rebate.

“Due to the excitement surrounding the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S III, customer demand will exceed the expected launch quantity available on June 21 T-Mobile anticipates the remaining Retail and Branded locations will launch on June 27. Stores that do not receive the initial distribution, and stores who sell out of their initial stock, should use the GSIII Call Back List and contact customers when the devices are available,” T-Mobile explained.
