***The Official Samsung Galaxy S III Thread***

Getting my SIII sent to the CPWH store near my work, but my tracking hasn't updated from "Passed to courier for delivery". That was at 5:48 this morning.

Now either they are just holding onto it until tomorrow when they make their delivery to the store, or I fear I'm going to get the Yodel treatment tomorrow and be one very disappointed Sugnid.....

sharingan_sasuk,

Is the phone smooth and lag free when waking up and scrolling between pages or up/down.

With my Galaxy Note I waited for ICS and it's made everything worse.

It's very smooth, like butter. It's not much different to the HTC One X, but I would say it 'looks' smoother due to the fluid look of the UI. The only time I've experienced lag so far is when you are loading the video with the pop out feature, or you got the video thumbnails playing.

Noticed any quality issues with the phone sharingan sasuke?

edit: build quality etc

In terms of build quality, it has the flimsy thin plastic back cover as you get from the S2, and it does get greasy with fingerprints. Dunno what the blue will be like! The edge is like a brushed aluminium effect plastic. You don't notice the front white so much because it's mostly all screen :) Haven't had the chance to test the call quality or signal yet. I definitely would be ok with sliding this phone onto my desk when I get home from a long day at work than say my iPhone 4S!

I'm not going to bother with the case because it's just about big enough in my hands. I've got insurance to cover it incase I drop it.

Screen feels tough when pressing down on it, and doesn't suffer from the screen flex issue with the One X.

Jesus... Just spoke to vodafone with reguards to canceling my other pre-order... apparently im not allowed to do that!

"You: i'd like to cancel my galaxy s3 pre-order please, the order number is: WB-*****
Parul: Let me check
You: ok
Parul: We cannot cancel the order
Parul: You will have to refuse to accept it when it is up for delivery
You: i havnt receieved any information saying its been dispatched or that the order is confirmed
Parul: Once you do you can refuse to collect it
You: i recieved an email that stated "We wanted to update you on your Samsung GALAXY S III pre-order. Due to shipping delays, we’re still awaiting delivery from Samsung - which means we aren’t able to get it to you as soon as we’d hoped. We understand how disappointing this is, but we’re working closely with Samsung to make sure you get your new smart phone within 2-4 weeks. Don’t worry, we’ll be in touch as soon as we have a confirmed date for your delivery."
You: that states my order wont be fulfiled for 2 -4 weeks
Parul: You will get details
You: thats the reason im canceling, because vodafone informed me that my order could not be delivered for at least 2 weeks
You: are you now telling me that my order had been dispatched?
You: has*
Parul: No I am telling you that you will be intimated when you will get it and you will have to refuse to accept
You: so im unable to cancel a pre-order of a product, of which your company doesnt have stock of?
You: and will not have stock for for 2-4 weeks?
Parul: We donot have stock because there are huge orders
You: thats the reason i wish to cancel
You: i wish to cancel and free up the handset i had on order for another of your customers
Parul: We cannot cancel the online order over the chat
Parul: I will give you a number to call on
You: unfortunatly your lines close at 6pm and i work until 6pm
Parul: 08080408408
Parul: That is the best I can do today"

Cheeky f*ckers...

Going to have to hope i can get through to them just after i finish work in an hour!
 
Thanks , ss. Does the screen flex and change colour when you apply pressure? Just wondering how flimsy the screen is as this is something my friend was getting on his htc one x... don't know if it was a dodgy phone or what..
 
7 day delay for the white phone thru mobiles.co.uk... but they're doing a cracking deal on it tailored to my usage...

Samsung Galaxy S3 £26 per month / 24mths on T-Mobile, * no handset cost. 300 minutes, Unlimited Texts and 750MB of data.

My phone usage according to my current network (O2) is 128 minutes, 44 texts and 284 MB data for last three months average.

I'm wondering whether to take the plunge and wait. If I don't I bet the deal will disappear!
 
Rang Expansys ....1 to 2 Weeks they are expecting the blue


Nice of them to inform me :mad:


..Oh nice they have debited my card which they are not supposed to do till an item is released.....there shall be a angry phone tomorrow .. grrrrrrr

This is why I avoided vodafone. I don't know if that situation is any different with other providers but I had an issue with them a while ago. The customer service was pathetic, even in the upper hiarchy.

quote made me chuckle :D

Yeah, all that was after they offered me all their "special deals" to try and persuade me to keep my order. Would it have hurt to open with "we cant cancel the order over chat"?

I ordered on the same deal but last week they were asking for £20 for the handset, which I still thought was a good deal. I also went through quidco for £30 cashback. Mine 'should' be here tomorrow although when I rang them earlier, they said I will definitely have it today before 6pm...

Sorry to make you more :mad: but 1-2 weeks is just PR... you'll be extremely lucky to get it in 1-2 weeks imo... more likely to be 3-4 weeks...

Even the white ones are delayed now for at least a week after launch and they don't have any problems.
