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.

We’ve yet to get our hands on a Galaxy S III review unit (coming soon, I hope) but the least we could do is give you a an idea of what to expect from Samsung’s next big thing. Since the Galaxy S III is launching on almost every carrier under the sun, we’ll focus on a few of the major players and how well the GS3 appears to perform.

Here we go… Apparently high demand for the Samsung Galaxy S III is causing a bit of a shipping delay for U.S. carriers. A trend we usually only see with Verizon, has now trickled down to other major carriers, who have been sending out announcements left and right to warn customers of possible delays.

“Would the owner of a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II please report to the Kies service desk at 11 p.m. EST,” “you have an Android 4.0.3 update waiting for you.”

That’s right, the T-Mobile Galaxy S II is set to receive Android 4.0.3 tonight, and although it isn’t Android 4.0.4, it’s still Ice Cream Sandwich, so I’m sure you Galaxy S II owners won’t be complaining — much.

HTC One S users can expect a maintenance update from T-Mobile to hit their devices soon. It started rolling out yesterday and will continue making the rounds until July 7. That’s a pretty big update window, so don’t freak out if you don’t see it for a while. The update will be pushed OTA and according to T-Mobile there is no manual update option at this time.
