I called verizon this moarning and i ask for a gs4 32gig and they said there are not a 32 gig phone.do you think verizon not going to sell a 32 gig gs4?
It would make sense for them to eventually sell devices with more storage built in.
I have noticed when a device launches, the variants with more GB takes longer to reach the consumer than the base memory

verizon only has a 16gb right now. only at&t as the 32gb.

Apple, for example, I've noticed that when they release a new iPhone the variants with more memory tend to say "shipping in 3-4 weeks" or something to that effect.
Basically, they may arrive a month after launch, such as the case of AT&T releasing their 32GB model

At first samsung mentioned, about the availability of 2 models, 16 and 32gb versions. Then slowly over time, i stopped even hearing about the 32gb model. is it possible the 32gb model is cancelled or maybe delayed?
Who knows they increased the cpu to 1.2ghz so people dont complain about the lack of 32gb variant. Anyone can chime in.
It's still listed on their Samsung Galaxy SII microsite, even after they updated the photow last week. I have no doubt that you will see a 32gb variant though it is looking to be that the 16gb will be out first.

I would go further and guess the 32 GB version will be released the day iPhone5 is released.
I'm pretty sure the 32gb is still in the minds of Samsung. Guess its safe to play safe and wait 'till June when the iP5 comes out.
I wonder if the 16GB is costing this much, what will the 32GB version cost.
Perhaps like Apple, they will add another $100.00 to the price tag.
Edit...
Double Post.
A lot of people are speculating that iPhone 5 won't be out until September...
Then I think this would be a perfect time for Samsung to push out the 32GB version in the market in July, to capture those customers who have not purchased the 16GB version. I am sure the price will be reduced to match the cost set at launch of the 16GB version.
So I'm switching to T-Mo hopefully within a couple of weeks, and I really like the S3 and the One S. I like the S3 more, but I don't know if it's worth the extra $130. Opinions?
The SGS3 is for sure worth it. Fantastic phone!!

If you're cost conscious, get the Galaxy Nexus for $350 from Play with t-mobile's $30/month, 100 minute 5GB prepaid plan (supplementing the 100 minutes with a google voice caller like groove ip). Over the course of two years, the lower plan cost would save you approximately $1000 (assuming that you would've otherwise gotten an $80 plan, not unrealistic including taxes).
Why the Galaxy Nexus? Because it's pentaband. Unfortunately the unlocked versions of the S3 and One X don't support t-mobile's frequencies as far as I know. You could buy the t-mobile version up front, but you'll eat an extra $300 that way for a phone that won't even work with any other carriers if you change your mind. You'd still save $700ish, but it's hardly ideal.

I own a One S and have used an S3. My opinion is that the S3 is only superior in its display. Speed-wise, the S3 and One S are neck and neck. Some tests even show the One S beating out the S3.
At the speeds these phones are at, you won't notice a difference in the overall experience between the 2. However, most people tend to get the S3, since it's the newer phone and has the nicer screen. I personally chose the One S since its screen is only 4.3 inches, which makes it much more comfortable to hold.
Either way, you can't go wrong. Both have good mod support and plenty of ROMs that range from modded stock ROMs, all the way to CM10/AOKP/AOSP roms.

I'm waiting for the Two hah
Seriously though non-expandable memory kinda kills it for me on the One S and reading the display isn't as sharp as the s3 is a deal breaker for me. One S with non-removable battery cover? Sealed? Ugh what a nightmare..
my answer is different.
if you have big hands or like touchwiz, then use gs3, BUT if you don't have that big of hands(me), or like sense 4(me), then use one s as that is smaller
and even though gs3 has removable storage, it still cannot be used as ext. so all the people you hear saying that sd card is good, I have just shot down half their aurgument
so if you buy an 8 gig galaxy s 3, you actually have less storage space than a one s as you 64 gb SD card is useless except for games and movies
so recap: if you has big hands then get galaxy s 3, if you has small hands get one s
or be me and wait for htc one x+

an external sd can also be used as swap partition serving as more ram. you can also install your apps on the sd card instead of internal memory. s3 is probably the best phone out there so far.
S3!!! HTC uses cheap material, i had the HTC G2 and thats my last!
I can either pay the 150 get another amaze or pay 100 down and 20 a month for 24 months for an HTC ONE, not fond of 32gb though ;/
S4 comes out on the 8th but need a phone today

I normally use 32gb SD Anyways.
So I am between a HTC One 32gb 100 down 20 a month or 150 down for the s4 and 20 a month.
Jb is not handling sd quite the same... It's been relegated to a more useless "non-live" storage
Not completely accurate.. But essentially accurate... Go with the htc one or wait for someone to break the rules with a good phone.... Google is pushing cloud and removal of sd & removable battery..
Just wait and see

What's wrong with the nexus 4? Mine with a modded rom, good kernel and the right tweaks works perfectly, I'm yet to see a problem with it.
I've heard good things about the htc one. I would go with the n4 though because of the price and superior value. All of them are great phones and you can't go wrong with any of them in my opinion.
Sent from my HTC Amaze 4g running Fourth Bar Infusion
So everyone is in agreement, don't go with Insurion for a replacement which cost 150.
My friend loves the N4, but was always plagued with issues with it. Stuff wouldn't work on 7 different devices. WHen one would work he would call up his insurance and get a replacement. He went through 7 before they finally gave him a Sony phone. Problems range from touchscreen not working, then the audio jack, then it wouldnt turn on, poor signal, random reboots, I thought it was a good phone too.
I'm seeing a lot of hate with the S4. I can understand the internal SD not being quite 16gb. But I would always use an SD card anyways.
I am a little afraid of the ONE simply because all LITH batteries wear out after 1 year of use. So i would need to replace the whole phone after 1 year of usage, if not less, and get a refurbish one through warranty.
I do not know much about the S4 other then it looks like a good phone, changeable battery and added sd card slot.
I went with an S4, ONE was not available ;/
SD cards are nowhere near as fast as onboard memory, remember that. Factor of the N4, I guess he just wasn't lucky, mine works fine. Loving my one too btw, I don't keep phone past 6 months, so battery issues haven't been a problem of mine.

Thanks everyone for giving me your opinions. Obviously 150 bucks was not worth coughing up for the Amaze. I just bought a new car so having to pay any amount right now was not a welcome one. I got my S4 last night, jesus.... beautiful phone. I kid you not, 5 minutes to flash recovery and load a new custom rom.
I will say this, not happy about the internal memory availability. But I was going to buy an SD card anyways.
Those thinking about getting an S4, you simply can not go wrong, and boy is there a huge difference even between the S3 to the S4.
200 bucks down payment, 20 bucks a month, since I am on the old school plan, tmobil is including those 20 bucks in my current bill. In essence, I got the phone for 200 bucks.

Nice! Also you can just find a rom that has the bloat removed completely or get an app like nobloat free to help remove it. That would solve the problem with the memory.

Called T-Mobile looking for the 32gb version of the SGS5. The only version is the 16gb for pre-order when I called. Does anyone have any info about the 32gb version being available from T-Mobile. I want this phone but not with only 16gb of int storage. I thought I had seen an article with the 32gb version being available for the US market. This is a joke as far as I am concerned, today's new phones need more than 16gb of int storage, IMO the phone shouldn't even be made with that little amount of storage. It costs pennies to add storage while under construction, 16gb is pathetic and after a very short time the phone will start getting laggy as hell. No Thanks, 32gb or I will have to go HTC One M8. I really like the Samsung products, I have the Note 3 and am very happy with it but always looking to go new.
I preordered at the store, telling them that I wanted the 64gb version. Ended up getting the 16gb shipped to me. Called 611 and asked about why the 64 wasn't sent and the rep said they don't have the 64 and have no current plans for it either. I called again later tonight and got the same answer from the 800 number.

HTC? NOOOOOOO....if you want 32gb and worried about having enough RAM, go Note 3.... 3gigs of RAM. Nothing can touch it. I too am disappointed about the 16gb on the s5. It's a joke. Anyway, for the love of phones, don't go HTC. It's like going from a Mercedes to a Ford.

I think Samsung is holding out for the rumored "Prime" version... that would explain the missing 32GB models on launch. If you look at their product release calendar June would be an opportune time to release such a product; and there is already a mystery galaxy device that benchmarks have popped up for that has 3GB of RAM and isn't the N4. We shall see....
Indeed, the prime "will" be awesome. Please let it be 3 gigs lol.

Thanks, I guess I'll wait and maybe after a month the 32gb model will be available. One can only hope, I'm just a big Samsung fan. Have owned all the SGS and the Note 3. Love my Note 3 with 32gb of int storage. The phone is a beast. Really like the new look of the SGS5, more rectangular than the SGS4 and the finger scanner is a go. Thanks Again.

Good stuff, hang in there. I'm also on the fence of going over to the Prime when it releases. I love the N3, by far the most powerful currently, but I miss having a phone sized phone. I do love the phablet though and it's hard to go away from the screens real estate. It's priceless...

I was bored and looking on the Samsung website and I saw in the phone area that it shows that there is a white version of the Verizon s4 in a 32gb. I was just wondering if they sell it anywhere or was that just a generic post on Sammys part.

I may be wrong but I don't think Verizon carries them...I believe they are 32 GB s4s set up for Verizon that you have to purchase at full price from samsung
Ok I'm kinda thought so. I don't get why they don't have different options on the space size like apple but what can you do. It love my sammy. I would be better off getting the s5 play edition for that kind of money. Lol

Agreed. I bought my gs4 when it launched and only the 16gb was available at the time. Come to find out actual usable free space was closer to 9 gb which is why I am at odds with samsung right now. I love my phone, but need a 32 gb internal storage phone at the minimum! Using a 64 gb external sd card only goes so far as most app data is still stored on internal memory. At a crossroads here.
Sent from my Gs4...... Hyperdriven
Agreed! I love my sammy but as you say 16 internal is becoming obsolete as del or cds. The note 3 came with 32gb and it's not the flagship or "the next big thing" so why would it get the bigger storage.

The 32GB version was on verizon's website which is where I got mine for $250.
