Samsung Galaxy S III now available from T-Mobile for $279
The Samsung Galaxy S III makes its official US debut today and is now available from T-Mobile in select stores and in limited quantities online. Unlike other carriers, TMo has priced the 16GB GS3 at $279.99 on a new two-year contract after a $50 mail-in rebate. The 32GB model sells for $329.99 under the same terms. T-Mobile is only stocking the device at stores in their top 29 markets for now (a full list can be found here). Those not lucky enough to reside in or near one of these 29 cities will want to try their luck online (where only the 32GB Marble White version of the phone is being offered). Otherwise, a wider release is planned for June 27th.
The release follows a launch party hosted by Samsung and actress Ashley Greene in New York City last night, where fans had a chance to check out the new sharing capabilities of the Galaxy S III while shmoozing with the likes of Kevin Nash of NBA fame. In honor of the launch Samsung donated $1.5 to the World Wildlife Fund.
