Galaxy S III Pricing, Availability and Pre Order Thread

BuddyLee · Apr 30, 2012

Figured I'd make this one stop thread for early adopters like myself wanting to get the device on launch date. Or even those who cant get it on launch date but to use as a future reference.

I'm in the US on ATT hoping to get it same day shipped on released.

Hspa+ bands on the international will most likely work on att right? But not lte?

Most likely so, as I use the I9100 with hspa+ and unlimited data for $15.

I personally don't mind not having lte, especially since nyc hspa gives me 4-6 down and 2 up unlimited.

My two places of choice are expansys uk and clove.co.uk. Either one of those two I'll be ordering mine from. I usually get overnight AM delivery with expansys coming to New York

I've pre-ordered mine from Expansys NZ.

For any other Kiwis around here:
Expansys
Mobicity

Two places I've found available for pre-order so far. Mobicity have a price, Expansys don't (yet). Although Mobicity will want payment up front.

For me personally it is also important to consider insurance. If I'm forking over 700 US$ I want to protect my investment

Amazon has them but hardly ever at release date. MoCity usually have them but the price is normally more expensive from what I remembered. Clove normally had the best price.

But from my experience with clove and expansys, you have to pay upfront. But remember this for those in the USA, if you order from UK sites we don't pay vat and the total including shipping is cheaper than ordering from America.

With regards to insurance, never had a problem personally, but if I did samsung has warranty covering it.

I ordered by Galaxy Nexus through Handtec (handtec.co.uk) and had a good experience with them. If I do pull the trigger and order a GS3 then I will probably do it through them. Depending on price.

BuddyLee · May 2, 2012

Expansys been taking pre orders for them.

Expansys UK
Expansys US
Negri Electronics
Carphone Warehouse

CoNsPiRiSiZe · May 3, 2012

I always buy electronics from Negri. There probably the best customer service I've dealt with. It all comes down to personal preference with this type of stuff.

Yup it's gone.

Here is hoping that will come back later on today, with a shipping date due in the next 4-5 days... Fingers crossed..

BuddyLee · May 3, 2012

The pre order links are back up on expansys for both white and blue colors as well as 16, 32 and 64 gb versions. I pre ordered all six as I am not sure which color or size is going to be available on release date.

Oh you don't have to pay upfront to pre order

this first release of S3 will only work on Bell, Rogers, Fido, Telus

I'll wait for the Tmo release, which is usually like the 3rd incarnation of the same phone every year

as AT&T and Verizon or Sprint usually gets the 2nd generation release of the same phone
