Samsung Galaxy S III official for five US carriers, some landing June 21st

The launch date rumors of the Samsung Galaxy S III hitting T-Mobile on June 20th were pretty darn close. T-Mobile has released official information to let everyone know that the S III will be available on June 21st. I can live with waiting one extra day. Along with T-Mobile’s announcement today we have also heard from Sprint pegging the same day for launch. Sprint came out of the gates listing pricing information at $199.99 for the 16GB version and $249.99 for the 32GB version. T-Mobile didn’t release pricing details just yet, but we assume they are going to be the same across the boards.

AT&T on the other hand hasn’t released a whole lot of information. They have ‘coming soon’ page up and running that lets you sign up for an email alert to when it does become available. We didn’t notice a date anywhere, but more than likely they will be shooting for a date similar to everyone else.

Verizon is opening up pre-orders for the S III starting June 6th for $199.99, but they fail to mention an official release date. We are curious if they are going to attempt to launch the new family data plans before hand to get those grandfathered unlimited data plans rolling off the system. It would be a dirty little trick, but one that we wouldn’t put past Verizon.

A fifth carrier has also announced the device today too, US Cellular is opening up pre-orders on June 12th for their customers. With information on pricing and release date scheduled the same day. The press release states it will be in stores and available online in July. At least it will be landing their shortly for you guys and not 6 to 8 months from now.

So how many of you guys out there are ready to pick this thing up at the end of the month on your respective carrier? I know I will be sitting outside my T-Mobile store a little early launch day. Be sure to hit up your carriers link below for further information along with sign-up pages.
