VZW Discontinues Galaxy S3 32GB Edition

Why? I just bought mine a week ago and now they are gone. Defective?

Hopefully this boosts the value of my 32gb by a bit then when in upgrade later this year

Probably a move to take more feature away from their customers, only to bring it back as an added monthly fee later ($5/mo for 32gb model anyone?)

There not defective. The 32gb S3 has been out for about 6 months which is average for a smartphone life span. It could also be that the 32gb version is not selling as good as the 16gb version. Who knows!!

We'll at least they didn't drop it to a penny one week after I paid retail. That would really hurt my feelings. Not sure where they going with this "bigger is not better" path they are taking. I didn't like the DNA as it didn't have an SD Card slot and worried about having only 16GB with this new internal SD card scheme. Loved the Razr Maxx HD but it only had 1GB RAM.
Love my S3 now that I am getting used to it other than it being slipperier than a bar of soap. Finally got it into a Seidio Convert but it might be overkill.

Maybe because the s4 is coming and orally also because the 16gb sells more

It's almost certainly because it wasn't selling as well as the 16 gig version. Most people wouldn't pay the extra hundred dollars when you can get a 64gb sdcard for $40.

It was only a $50 difference though, at least it was when I preordered in the summer.

Yes, but you can't put apps on external SD's anymore (yes with iffy apps and hacks) plus I'm guessing the internal memory is faster.

Ya, I JUST purchased a Verizon S3 32gb/Pebble blue because I have the Note 2 but I wanted something a tad smaller that I knew had GREAT development! The 32gb model is def where it's at!! :good: That gives you ample space to actually install huge games AND all of your favorite apps... I got it for a cool $325 off contract! I installed a few of the latest roms and they are VERY smooth compared to when I had it 5 months ago. I guaranty they were barely selling them...

The 32GB version probably wasn't selling as well because non Verizon stores didn't stock it. Not all verizon stores stocked it. People don't like to wait.

I have the 32GB pebble blue, so glad I got mine when I did ! For the $50 extra it was worth it.

Its not available in the stores,but it is available online to order. I am actually ordering one to replace my GN2 I sold. Verizon retail tole me it doesn't sell as well, but I don't buy that. $50 for twice the memory compared to Apple who charges $100+ for each memory upgrade option.
BTW, Best Buy doesn't stock the 32GB either but Amazon Wireless does.

got my 32gig pebble on preorder thru BBuy last july - thought it was kinda dumb to even offer a 16 gig model... who the carp wants less??? I'm sure the 16 giger only existed to offer the $199 price point they thought they needed.

This makes me feel good about GS4 purchase about 6 months after release... I can certainly pay $400 or less for it to keep my unlimited data

ugh..
Hmm.. that's weird. I hope it is not because of the S4. I don't want to see the awesome development for our phones slowly start to disappear...

I put up the extra fifty bucks for it and had to have it ordered because no stores had it in stock. Fine, no biggie to wait 3 days for double the internal memory.
Also went and dropped a 64 gig microsd in it - If I could have got a 64 gig internal version I still would have put a 64 external.
It doesn't matter how much space is available, I always need more.
You ever seen how much space a dev project takes up?

When I bought my S3 from the Verizon store I was told that the 32gb version was just a 16gb model with a 16gb sdcard installed. Obviously I just bought the 16gb model and threw in my old sdcard. Is there actually a 32gb internal storage version?

Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

So I can pre-order at the actual AT&T store? Not online? Or both? And will pre order get me the phone faster than waiting for the store release? These are the questions I had.... I am on a spread out family share plan where we live in different areas of the country, will it be shipped to the main account holder address, or can I put my own address in for the pre-sale? I need an AT&T rep to answer these I think...

Im gonna call at&t tomorrow to confirm.

call att
ask them

I will be either going into a store to get it once available. I remember when the S2 came out I was able to get it the day after release but quite a few that pre ordered it didn't get it until a week after I got mine (or close to that at least). But I will be going in to check it out in person as soon as the stores have them.

the preorder page only shows the 16gb model. i hope that's wrong. anyways i called them and they say when the stores open you can preorder. if the 32gb model isn't available ill wait until it launches to buy.

Why on Earth would you pay $50 for 16 gb of additional space?
16 gb of space is currently going for $15 on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-MicroSDHC-Memory-Adapter-SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A/dp/B009QZH7BU). If you feel the need to spend the $50, then get the 64 gb card for $54.

Because the internal memory is a lot faster and I would prefer to have more of it instead of external memory. The 16GB version has about 9GB usable.

Don't know if it's "a lot faster", but whatever floats your boat.

So dig this, I had some questions that I posted towards the beginning of this thread about pre-order and nobody seemed to have any valuable response, so I just happened to be next door to an AT&T corp store just now getting coffe and I popped in and asked... here are my answers from the clerk that talked to her manager.
-Yes, presale begins tomorrow (duh)
-Yes, pricing is $200 and $250
-You can pre-order as soon as your store opens tomorroe (4-16)
-Yo can have it shipped to any address once pre-ordered
Here is the odd part of her responses.....
-As far as how soon I would be getting said S4 if I preorder tomorrow, she initially said it would ship in 3 to 5 working days... I thought GREAT, I am days away from having my new toy in the palm of my sweaty arizona hand...
Then the stab in the gut came, she dissapeared to the back for a moment to confirm this info and spoke to her manager, who coached her that she was wrong to quote me 3 to 5 working days. She proceded to inform me (according to her manager) the phone would ship the day it is released in the store in May.... My heart dropped and I said "May?" and she said "Well we don't know or can't say when it is being released yet..." So I said, "Well why did you say may then?" she said "well, whenever it does come out..." as if she slipped and was not supposed to disclose that...That was the end of the conversation.
I wanted to ask her "well what the hell is the point of pre-order then if It does not even ship until the day it releases in store?" but I didn't have the nerve and I guess I was hoping this was all a bad dream lol.....
So heres to hoping her and her manager were completly wrong or were just trying to be vague....
This guy here is on pins and needles waiting for his S4 and ready to give my trusty Infuse 4G a viking funeral

That sounds pretty definitive based on a "leaked" piece of paper, I hope your right though!

Where's the 32GB Damnit!

The waiting is killing me? Anyone have contacts on this inside of ATT?

The links I have been following have dried up. Disappointing to say the least. Will not buy the 16gb model. The new LG has my attn atm--not quite the S4, but more than satisfactory for my needs. It may cost Samsung sales.

I wanna know the same thing

IM DYING HERE! so over my apple iphone, its sickening me!

It's a huge BS blame game. AT&T's people claim that Samsung isn't providing the 32GB yet and Samsung claims AT&T hasn't asked for it yet. Of course, there are no "official" releases from either yet, just Twitter, Facebook, and forum replies from people that claim to know. It seams as though AT&T is the only US carrier that said they would carry the 32GB but only "soon" has been hinted as to when. And no one (AND I MEAN NO ONE) at AT&T is willing to talk about it. I'm sure it's like all of the rest of AT&T's screw-ups, they hope it will go away if enough time goes by and people will forget about it.

I work for an indirect third party, in our system they've already been shipped. We're getting them on the 5th. But not allowed to sell until the 19th.

Take this for what it is worth, but a rep told yesterday that 32gb model had been postponed indefinitely. She did not know why, but I told I would not buy a 16gb model with only half available for storage. So looking at the optimus G Pro now...

WHY must you ALL need more than 16GB of storage..... Samsung devices have freaking SD Card slots, and in which you can stick a 64GB card in or even a 128GB if you can afford it....

Because apps cant install to SD card simple as that. This is a bs Google move so what good does an sd card give me if my apps can't use it and with games being 2gb in size now it goes away quick. I have a 64gb card and only few apps installed and I am down to 6gb free space and my SD card hasn't been touched. Piss poor programming by Google by doing this with the OS.

I agree. Even though I went ahead and got a 16 gb, I think its BS that google changed that. Does anyone know why exactly?
I really wish these carriers would pull their heads out of their a** and start being able to offer multiple storage sizes. Even with an SD slot, they can release the fruit phone with multiple choices, why can't we have that same luxury with samsung?
Just my 2 cents.

This is why these android manufacturers can't compete with iPhone. The reason Google did this is for greed. They want you to store all your stuff on their servers so they can mine it for data and deliver you targeted ads. This is their sole business and money maker. Why do you think they made android free in first place.

My dad was sad when I chose the Navy over the Air Force. He's retired AF.
As an indirect we have almost the same phones as AT&T, we use the same system they use. Just we charge less for the phone. We have the S4 for 149.99. The htc one for 149.99 and the 32gb one for 189.99. The s4 32gb is 189.99 as well when we start to sell it.
The indirect I work for, we don't pad or hop the accounts were not paid on the phone or activation the same way as most third parties . I also used to work for AT&T.

To me this day in age, I stream nearly everything. I use spotify for music and even with several roms and others things saved on my internal SD, instill usually have 6+ GB available out of 16 so I don't find a need for 31 personally.

This is why. And reality is. Everyone wanting all this storage is a minority. Average users. (And yes after the success of the s3 Samsung is totally in the business of average users.) Don't need a lot of space. I never filled my 8 GB n4.

They were $125 for about an hour earlier tonight as part of Amazon's rolling 'lightning deals' for Cyber Monday. I picked up a couple as presents for my kids just as the deal was expiring.
I am concerned about the storage though. So after rooting is there a preferred app/procedure for shifting apps over to the memory card?

Yeah, I don't think moto maker is worth $150, but I guess it depends on how much you like the custom design.
