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

GET IN!

Order with CPW this morning over the phone at about 9am - just got my dispatch email with yodel. Hopefully this means for tomorrow.

OK - confused.

Still no announcement from Three, still no confirmation to me that my phone is or is not coming, yet a friend (who pre-ordered after me) has been told his blue handset will ship tomorrow....not sure if they meant it'll start or end it's journey as he didn't ask. Other's have said Three are not sending blue handsets out for a while, at least one person said he'll be getting his Friday.

It is a nightmare, I called Three last night and was told that they have blue in stock but there is a slight delay, would get my phone on Fri 1st June instead of 30th May.
Phoned again this morning and was told the situation was the same, will get my phone on Friday.
After hearing about Samsung recalling the pebble blues I called Three at about 14.30 this afternoon, the guy I spoke to was very helpful and confirmed it to me that the blue ones were going back due to manufacturing faults, and he could not give me a date when I would get my phone.
I switched the order to a white one which he said would be with me tomorrow or Thursday.
He said they had an email informing them of the blue issue about 40 minutes before I called.

Did you get through to a uk call centre or india?, when I called again this afternoon to change my order
from blue to white I was told by someone in indian call centre that they would have to cancel my existing
order and remake it for a white phone which I wouldn't receive until friday 8th June.

Today I got through to the UK call centre.
Called the number for sales on the Three website 0800 358 8460, and pressed option one.

Preordered my phone (blue) via dialaphone yesterday.
Got an email about 16:30 today telling me of the stock shortage on blue units, 2-3 week delay :(

Phoned them up to change my order to the white model, but even that is a 3-5 day wait (so realistically I'll need to wait over a week, until after the Jubilee). I think I basically ended up having to join the back of the queue for the white unit, despite having preordered more than 24hrs previously. :mad:

Almost tempted to cancel the order, tell Samsung they can stick their phone where the AMOLED doesn't shine, and get a HTC One X instead!

All this geek rage amuses me no end! Calm down, it's just a phone. It's going to work just the same in 6 months time nevermind in a week!
 
Got email from p4u around 5pm about the blue s3 order I placed on 20 May, it said the order will now delay by 2-3 weeks.

And p4u will compensate one month line rental.
 
Those saying they'd get a One X in a fit of rage from all this, you want to get the fastest, least bug ridden phone out but can't for a few weeks so will get a slightly worse phone with ongoing bugs as punishment?

Seems a bit off :p
 
I guess I am allowed to say now we have had a S3 prototype at work for a few months now and I am allowed to buy my S3 on the company account. We have been working closely with Samsung in time for launch - it has been absolutely mental! Over last few weeks I have been regularly working until 2am and getting up at 7am to get back into work. Knackered doesn't cover it!

I don't think we know the answer to that yet!

Well from everything we've seen and read and now with owners of the white one, the software is perfectly fine with no issues noted by anyone, a step up from the S2 in fact so we can confidently answer that quite comfortably. Not that there was any doubt t would be any other way to begin with.

The doubt has always been on what the design of the handset would have been like. That's still up in the air.

Doing what kind of stuff? Are you responsible for this Blue going Belly up!?! Working late nights, missing a few QC bits...!
