Before throwing in the towel for the weekend, we’re going to remind everyone that the news about the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 being available is not the last we’ll be hearing about the smartphone. Come next week and Verizon will also be offering the device for sale.
So those who are tired of bumping into headlines about the ‘iPhone’s closest rival’ will just have to hide under a rock for some time more. Even though Sprint had started shipping the phone back in June, it’s easy to see why fans may have been waiting to lay hands on it via AT&T or Verizon. The carrier still hasn’t hoisted up its 4G LTE network and we all know just how impatient tech enthusiasts can get.
In terms of pricing, those who shy away from commitments can drop $549.99 (which is clearly no small change) and have the smartphone without a contract. $350 in savings sound like a good bit of cash? AT&T will allow customers to sign on the dotted line for a 2-year contract and pick up the Galaxy S3 at a lowered price of $199.99.
Whether users agree to a contract of 1 or 2 years, or even a no-commitment deal, they’ll still need to pay for a qualifying monthly data plan with the network operator. And yes, AT&T does have the marble white as well as pebble blue color options up for consideration.
The AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 can be purchased through the company’s online portal as well as retail outlets.
