Samsung Galaxy S III launch date moved to June 27th

Canadians will need to wait a bit longer to enjoy their Samsung Galaxy S III (which we just reviewed below). Samsung's just made it known that due to unprecedented demand, the GSIII will be coming to Canada on June 27th instead of the original launch date of June 20th.  It isn't certain if this is a global delay or just a Canada specific issue. I've also reached out to Samsung to find out if this applies to in-store stock as well as pre-ordered carrier phones. Below is the whole release.

Due to unprecedented global demand, with more than 9 million carrier pre-orders to date, the highly anticipated GALAXY S III will now be available for purchase beginning June 27th through leading Canadian wireless carriers and authorized national retailers. Some models and colour options may not be available at all locations.  Most carriers and retailers are offering the choice to register on-line for updates on the GALAXY S III, and some partners are offering their customers the chance to pre-order the GALAXY S III.  We expect any shortages to be short lived as we ramp up production to meet this unprecedented global demand.
