T-Mobile branded Samsung Galaxy S III press photo leaks

An alleged press photo for Samsung Galaxy S III for T-Mobile has leaked out, thus revealing the design of one of the carrier versions of the US bound smartphone.

Samsung UK stores see lines for the launch of the Galaxy S III, supply issues shaping up

We got sent photos of the line for the Samsung Galaxy S III launch in Startford's Westfield store, and it seems north of 30 people were queuing outside at the time to be one of the first getting their hands on the latest flagship Android. The line continued inside up to the counter with an estimated 80+ people in total, which are Apple-esque launch day numbers.

Stock has been quickly dwindling, though, especially considering the tight supply of the Pebble Blue version, which will see wait times of up to 2-3 weeks now. UK carriers and retailers are also reporting wait times, with O2 pinning it at 5 days, Vodafone has it for delivery in up to 4 days, and T-Mobile saying it will be available after today.

None of the U.S. carriers has yet to officially announce the device, easily the most anticipated Android phone of the year with 9 million units pre-ordered overseas. As we've told you, that makes the Samsung Galaxy S III the fastest selling device in history.
