Mobile phone users in the United States interested in the purchase of a Galaxy S4 handset on the network of wireless carrier Verizon can now pre-order it through Best Buy’s stores as well, it seems.

The company has reportedly started to send out messages to users informing them on the availability of the device, and inviting them to its retail locations to place reservations for it, GottaBeMobile reports.

The news site also notes that Best Buy is apparently taking pre-orders for the smartphone ahead of schedule, and that there’s another premium Verizon retailer in California that does so.

The new Samsung flagship Android device is expected to become available for purchase through Verizon sometime in May.

The company has already published a sign-up page for the device, but it did not offer specific details on its availability and pricing.
