This IDC Insight reviews the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S III at AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless. Two weeks after the Galaxy S III launched in the United States, IDC visited several retail stores in and around the Framingham, Massachusetts, area of each mobile operator, inquiring about the new smartphone. We asked sales associates about the capabilities and features of the device and how it compared with other smartphones (particularly the Apple iPhone 4S at AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon Wireless).
