Samsung is a proud sponsor of the 2012 Olympic games, so you know what that means, don’t you? Commercials! Naturally, you can expect the majority of Samsung’s Olympic commercial spots to feature their new flagship Samsung Galaxy S III device, and why wouldn’t they? It’s an amazing phone, and one that coincidentally was designed for humans <—insert smiley face.

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:

If you’ve been holding out for the garnet red Samsung Galaxy S III on AT&T, you’ll be happy to know AT&T will start taking pre-orders for the device starting Sunday July 15. Personally, I’m not feeling it, but to each their own. Plus, all that matters is what’s on the inside… right?

The ongoing patent drama has caused minor speed bumps for mobile manufacturers and while the Galaxy Nexus saw a brief disappearance from the Google Play Store, it’s back in stock and available for purchase. For $349 you can pick yourself up a brand new contract free Galaxy Nexus. Since it’s the GSM/HSPA+ model, you’ll also be the first to own a Jelly Bean phone as Android 4.1 is being pushed out to the HSPA+ model during the next couple weeks.

When the Galaxy S III hit U.S. carriers, T-Mobile was apparently the only carrier who failed to get the pricing memo. Magenta gave their customers the shaft by pricing the Galaxy S III $80 higher than every other U.S. carrier. While everyone else was paying $199.99 for a brand new shiny Pebble Blue Galaxy S III, T-Mobile customers had to angst over whether or not to pay an inflated $279.99. Well angst no more my Magenta mob, Wirefly has you covered.
