斯普林特今天下午以“压倒性需求和有限供应”为由，认为银河三号发射战略出现几次延误的原因，该公司下周将看到32GB的预订单船，而不是与其他几家美国和加拿大航空公司共享的6月21日的预计发射日期。至于16GB版本，Sprint表示，对于那些预先订购的用户来说，**“将在6月21日之前如期交付”，这是“乐观的”，但对于那些没有预购的人来说，可能会“迟到一两天”——对于没有预购的人来说，本周只能通过打电话给电售部才能拿到。从表面上看，这意味着斯普林特预计本周将没有Galaxy S IIIs在店内销售，但情况应该在下周前有所缓解——这是航母称之为“次要”的延迟

以下是运营商的完整声明：

Due to overwhelming demand and limited supply for Sprint's Samsung Galaxy S III, we are running a little behind on deliveries. The 16GB version of Samsung Galaxy S III device will be available in Web Sales and Telesales (1-800-SPRINT1) beginning on Thursday, June 21. It will be in all remaining sales channels next week. We are optimistic that we'll be shipping all Samsung Galaxy S III-16GB pre-orders this week and that they will be delivered by June 21 as anticipated. There is a chance, however, that we may be a day or two late. We anticipate shipping all Samsung Galaxy S III-32GB pre-orders next week. To check the status of your pre-order, please visit www.sprint.com/myorder. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate the patience of our customers as we work through this minor delay in availability. We know that many of you are eager to experience the next generation of the Samsung Galaxy series on the only network to provide unlimited data plans to new and existing customers. Should this situation change, we will continue to update this post as we have new information to share.

与此同时，TmoNews报道称，T-Mobile的galaxysiii将在第一天（6月21日）仅在29个市场上市，而该国其他地区将在几天后的6月27日（周三）上市客户需求将超过预期的上市数量，”T-Mobile表示，这或多或少与Sprint的观点相呼应。
