Samsung drops universal search from Sprint’s Galaxy S III

Posted on by

Sprint's latest OTA update to its new flagship jewel, the Galaxy S III, addressed some security niggles, but the download remained otherwise fuzzy on the details. It now appears the update also nixes the universal search function, meaning the handy box now directs to the web upon entry. It's likely a response to recent legal hairpulling between Apple and the Samsung-made Galaxy Nexus -- a phone which has the very same search capabilities. As Android Central notes, those looking to return the search option can hit up a download of the previous version in their forums. Visit the source to grab it while you can.

PSA: Samsung Galaxy S III now available in Sprint stores

In case you haven't heard, Sprint is now stocking its shelves with the Samsug Galaxy S III. Just as it promised, the Now Network is offering both 16 and 32GB versions of the handset online and through telesales, for $200 and $250, respectively. If you take the "Now" slogan to heart, however, you'll have to settle for the smaller option, Sprint's retail locations won't have the 32GB model on hand. The rest of you?

Sprint Galaxy S III making its way to stores July 1st

We were originally expecting it to show up last week, but "overwhelming demand" prevented the Samsung Galaxy S III from arriving in Sprint stores for an unknown period of time. The Now Network has finally given us a firm launch date of July 1st, with the 16GB model hitting the brick-and-mortar shelves and both storage options (16 and 32GB) available online and through telesales. The 16GB version is going for $200, while the 32GB will be $250.

Sprint Galaxy S III won’t hit stores tomorrow due to ‘overwhelming demand,’ pre-orders not affected

Sprint Galaxy S III won't hit stores tomorrow due to 'overwhelming demand'

Eager to get your hands on a Samsung Galaxy S III with the little Sprint logo on the back? The Now Network is being ever the tease, confirming to us through an official company spokesperson that overwhelming demand has prevented sufficient inventory from reaching store shelves. This doesn't count for early adopters that pre-ordered a 16GB model, however: they'll likely still find the precious new smartphone on their doorstep tomorrow as originally anticipated. According to Sprint, pre-orders for the 32GB version will begin next week, but the carrier isn't completely certain as to when we can expect to see those shipped out -- we'll keep you posted as the news pours in.
