You can get a custom-colored Moto X smartphone for Verizon, Sprint or T-Mobile.
Along with a choice of colors you can set your home screen welcome and design of the screen. The Moto X costs $99.99 with a two year plan on AT&T, Verizon or Sprint.
One of the readers of our Samsung Galaxy S III Review of Reviews noted that she would have liked a red Samsung Galaxy S III on the Verizon Wireless network. Unfortunately, the garnet red-colored Samsung Galaxy S III is only available from AT&T and is part of its Olympics promotions.
In the UK, there will be a special Olympic edition of the Samsung Galaxy S III available from Carphone Warehouse that can use either a Union Jack or Team GB back panel. The idea is that Brits can cheer their team by waving their Samsung Galaxy S3's in the air. This patriotic incarnation will not be available until August 1.
The red Samsung Galaxy S III just went on sale from AT&T . In the fall of last year, HTC made the HTC Rhyme in plum. For a while you could get the Droid RAZR in purple. There are still Droid RAZRs available in red, white and blue. In many cases the first models of smartphones come in black or titanium and then have white or other colors follow later.
As usual the Samsung marketing machine around the Samsung Galaxy S III is churning, whipping up sales, which is working because the next big thing is outselling the iPhone. New features and storage options are coming in the future.
Analyst Raymond Jame's Tavis McCourt noted Samsung Galaxy S III sales are stellar. He contacted store sales reps and found that the major advantages over the iPhone 4s are the size and the 4G LTE connections. Stores received 10 to 12 Samsung Galaxy S III phone units and most stores sold out within 2 to 4 days. Stores are receiving smaller shipments, every few days.
