Looking for exact info on when and where you can pick up a new Galaxy S4 from Samsung? So far, a few major carriers in the U.S. have already begun pre-orders, but information from Verizon is still extremely scarce. Below we have gathered the most recent information on release dates and pre-order availability, so give it a look over and plan your next move.

• Verizon:  Pre-orders open April 25, in-store available begins May 30.
• AT&T:  Pre-orders opened April 16, in-store availability begins April 27.
• T-Mobile:  Pre-orders open April 24, in-store availability begins May 1.
• Sprint:  Pre-orders open April 18, in-store availability begins April 27.
• US Cellular:  Pre-orders opened April 17, in-store availability begins April 30.
• Cricket:  TBD
• C Spire:  TBD

We’ll continue to update this post as official dates are announced.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 may have been announced at a zany and somewhat entertaining press event at Radio City Music Hall in NYC back in March, but at the time, minimal U.S. carrier availability was mentioned outside of a couple of pre-orders. Today, Samsung has made almost all of it official, without mentioning any specific dates. 

It’s April 16, pre-order day for the Galaxy S4 from Samsung on AT&T. Starting now, you can head to their site and put your money down for Samsung’s newest flagship device, starting as low as $199.99 on a new two year agreement. Off contract the device will run you $639.99, followed by $449.99 on a one year agreement. According to AT&T, your device will ship on April 30, just two weeks from now. 

For now, it would appear that the AT&T variant of the HTC One sports a completely unlockable bootloader. By using HTC’s own HTCdev site and generating the proper key, your device can be free to exploitation, as long as AT&T and HTC don’t go fixing the problem. 

Over the weekend, an internal document from Staples hinted at which dates we can expect to see the Galaxy S4 become available on three out of the four major U.S. carriers. According to the sheet, AT&T will first receive Samsung’s next flagship starting April 26, followed by T-Mobile on May 1 and Verizon a whole month later on May 30.

Curious about LG’s next flagship and when we can expect it to arrive on our shores? According to those close to the matter, the Optimus G Pro is set to make its way to the U.S. via AT&T, with a rumored launch date of some time in May, but we are also hearing June. The Optimus G Pro launched in Japan with a 5″ HD display, but apparently the American variant is set to come with a 5.5″ display instead, just like last year’s Galaxy Note 2. 

Today, AT&T is launching a few more 4G LTE markets to go along with the well-sized list that went live earlier this month. Starting now, grape growers down in California can access 4G LTE on their compatible AT&T devices, as well as folks in Jackson, TN and even Kalamazoo, Mich.

On a funny note, every time I hear “Kalamazoo,” I sing the little T-Mobile 4G jingle. “One, two, Kalamazoo.”
