Archius also pointed out this US site:
auroracell: $500 no shipping date yet
http://www.auroracell.com/samsung-i9000-galaxy-s-8gb.html
It's a good price, but does not take account of shipping, and tax could be expensive. Bear these things in mind if you are going to buy from them.
On contract, Vodafone will have the 16gb model, and all these prices are for the 8gb (except expansys).
***UPDATED DATES AND EMAILS***

Part I:
We were told last week that the shipment would take place on the W/C 21st
Some distributors still believe they will get the shipment this week, but I think this is simply that the sales guys have not been updated.
I have a call in to Samsung to try and establish the exact date and whether any shipment will reach Carphone before the channel - I would be surprised
Lets await their reply later this morning.
Shipment delays on launch are always frustrating, but also very common.
However the more I see of the i9000 the more impressed I am!

Part II:
I have just spoken to Samsung and they now do think they will get stock out later this week.
I have asked if all distribution will get stock (we have orders with all of them anyway!) and when the expect it actually to land in the warehouses.
They have confirmed that Carphone DO NOT yet have stock.
