Samsung Galaxy S III Developer Edition for Verizon Wireless now available

Posted by By peter at 24 September, at 10 : 12 AM Print

Ever since the bootloader of the Galaxy S III for Verizon Wireless was cracked wide open, there’s much less of a clamor for the Developer Edition of the handset from Samsung. That said, the unsubsidized smart phone is now available to purchase — for backorder, anyway — directly from the manufacturer, which gives all owners the ability to easily unlock the phone’s bootloader and thus delight in the world of custom ROMs.

As of now, only the Pebble Blue variant is available, but purchasers may choose from the 16GB ($600) or 32GB ($650) versions.

Samsung says it still maintains that Verizon Wireless gave its subscribers a pretty raw deal with the Galaxy S III, as all other carriers left it to the owner’s discretion of whether to unlock their phone’s bootloader. “We wouldn’t expect Big Red to change its tune any time soon”, says Samsung “But you can take solace knowing that the hacking community and manufacturers have your back.” Samsung concludes.
