Today, RadioShack announced availability for the Samsung Galaxy S4 beginning this Saturday, April 27 in retail stores. The device will be available on both AT&T and Sprint, as the Verizon version’s availability has not yet been announced. As an added bonus, they will also have a few of the Galaxy S4′s accessories on hand, giving customers a $10 off coupon when they make a purchase of $30 or more.

If you are not the biggest fan of going into a certified retailer of a carrier and have a Shack close to home, it’s good to know you have options for where you can pick up your new phone.

The HTC One is now available from AT&T and Sprint, along with a handful of retailers across the country. After being announced back in February we were starting to wonder if this day would come thanks to reports of delays. Both AT&T and Sprint are selling the 32GB version for $199 on new 2-year contract. AT&T also has an exclusive 64GB version that can be purchased for $299 on contract.

Looks like the leak from last week was right (except for the date). This morning, Sprint announced the addition of 21 brand new 4G LTE markets, ranging all the way from the California coast to Charlotte, North Carolina. The Now Network has stated before that 2013 would be a big push year from them in this area, as they continue to compete against AT&T and now T-Mobile in the 4G LTE coverage game.

Take a peek below for the full list of new markets. 

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.

This morning Samsung announced that the Galaxy S4 will be available in “April,” but left specific dates up to each carrier. Sprint was quick to announce a date, and April 27 is the day that customers can expect to see the phone in stores.

For customers upgrading, the 16GB version of the device will run you $249.99, but if you are switching your phone number to Sprint from another carrier, Sprint will knock the price down to $149.99. A little bit steeper than other carriers, but this is very likely to be the best selling phone of this year.

Pre-orders for the phone open tomorrow so make your decision soon, for the full press release hit the break. 

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. 

The last time we heard news from Dish Network, they were in a bidding war with Sprint over majority share of Clearwire. It now seems as if Dish got tired of that idea and has since decided to try and buy Sprint instead. Sprint and SoftBank have been trying to close a deal that would put the Japanese carrier in control, but Dish has made a larger bid and hopes to raise the funds needed to complete the deal. 

This morning, Sprint and Samsung announced an exclusive new color for the Galaxy S3 called, amethyst purple. Oooh, pretty. It’s the same S3, 4.8″ display, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, NFC, and that 2,100mAh battery.

According to the press release it is available starting today for $99 on a new to year agreement, so if you like purple and you like last year’s tech, head to Sprint right now.
