Come Wednesday, May 8, those who have been eagerly waiting to lay their hands on T-Mobile's variant of the Galaxy S4 will finally be able to do so, as the U.S. carrier is expected to begin offering the next-gen smartphone in stores. What's more, we'll give you a run down on which select T-Mobile stores will offer the smartphone on Wednesday, making it easier for you to pick up the Galaxy S4.
T-Mobile began accepting pre-orders for the smartphone on April 30 and is slated to offer the "no contract" Galaxy S4 for $149.99 upfront. T-Mobile will retail the Galaxy S4 in stores May 8 at select locations, with nationwide availability beginning a week later, May 15.
T-Mobile was initially set to launch its version of the Galaxy S4 online on April 24 and in stores May 1; however, owing to "overwhelming demand" the carrier was forced to push back the release.
