Planning on getting the Samsung Galaxy S III from Verizon Wireless? If you want to make sure that you have a device in hand the day that it is released, you might want to go ahead and pre-order the phone starting today. The Galaxy S III will set you back $199.99 for the 16GB model and $249.99 for the 32GB model when you sign a new 2-year contract.

If you’re hoping on buying the phone contract-free, you will have to wait a little longer. At the moment, Verizon is not allowing customers to pre-order the phone without a contract. When you do get to order the phone contract-free, expect to pay $599.99 and $649.99 for the 16GB and 32GB models, respectively.

Unfortunately, you will have to wait until July to get your hands on the Galaxy S III. According to Verizon, the phone will ship by July 9. This is more than 2 weeks after the AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile versions will launch. The only other carrier to launch the phone in July is U.S. Cellular.

To pre-order your Galaxy S III, head over to Verizon Wireless today.
