At last, the Samsung Galaxy S III and all of its locked bootloader glory, has hit Verizon shelves. Like most other U.S. carriers, the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III will come in a 16 or 32GB, Pebble Blue or Marble White version, and cost $199.99 or $249.99, respectively. It also features your usual U.S. specs, inluding:

• 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm S4 processor
• 4.8-inch 1280×720 (306ppi) HD Super AMOLED screen
• 16GB of internal storage (no 32GB option) / expandable to 64GB with microSD
• 2GB RAM
• 2100 mAh battery (removable thankfully)
• 8 MP rear camera with LED flash
• 1.9 MP front facing camera
• Android 4.0 with TouchWiz
• And More!

You’ll have the advantage of the largest 4G LTE coverage if you decide to go with Verizon and I can honestly say the Samsung Galaxy S III is the best phone I’ve used to date. Unfortunately there’s no telling when it will get Jelly Bean.

Anyone grabbing the Verizon Galaxy S III at the subsidized price will be forced into Verizon’s new Share Everything Plan so don’t expect to keep any unlimited data or other sweet deal you have going (that’ll cost you full retail). Well, at least the waiting is over. Hit up the source link below to get started.
