Well this is some fairly huge news, especially on the back of our special round-up of current Galaxy S III rumours. According to The Verge, citing sources familiar with the matter, Samsung are planning to not unveil the Galaxy S III at MWC like was originally planned as they don’t want the massive gap of time between unveiling / global launch and a US launch.

While this makes sense on a business level, it seems completely stupid in the grand scheme of things. Why would Samsung wait for the US carriers to pull their finger out and do customisations to the device so they’re different to the other US carriers, when they could just launch the one Galaxy S III to the major market that is the rest of the world and let the US carriers muck around wasting time on their own watch. I would love to hear what you guys think about the idea in the comments.
