Boo hoo I have a very small scuff mark on the back of my white one and I haven't even taken it out of the house yet because I'm waiting on a case to arrive! . Looks like you have to be very careful.

Whoa, that's bad, any chance of a pic of the mark, if the Norwegian isn't hogging the lense

Just off the phone with play.com myself and the guy said that they've not got any stock in at all for the blue s3 yet. I hope he was just mis-informed.

BUT WHAT IF I PREFER THE BLUE WHEN I SEE IT A WEEK AFTER BUYING. *weeps*

Get a blue one as well. (The white on it's white stand just looks grat on my desk).

Not calling you a liar man just hope that the guy I spoke to on play doesnt have a clue.

I know mate... just expressing my annoyance at all Play staff not being informed or lying to customers.

I'm quite surprised at the number of people buying this Sim free. 2nd hand Android phones never seem to hold their value. One X has dropped under £300 and a S3 just went for £400 on AVforums.

My O2 recycle had my S2 for £230 and I only paid £400 for it 12 months ago!

£170 for 12 months usage aint bad!

o2 Recycle giving me £250 for my 32gb iPhone 4 = phone is costing me £250. Since I'm back at uni in september and I dont know if I'll have a job or not it makes sense for me to buy it now sim free and just pay £10 a month to giffgaff for all the calls texts and data I need.

The part I put in bold in your quote is an anomaly, the assumption is that the initial buyer gets £300 resale in 12ish months and with a shrewdly bought sim only deal the monthly cost will be about £25, then do the same with the next uber phone.

Waiting is not good for anyone's soul

Received a phone call this afternoon to let me know that I have won one of these little bad boys! Should be with me in around 2 weeks or so. Opted for the blue model even though I haven't seen one in real life. Don't really fancy the white though so didn't have much choice!

Now to find the best price for my S2.

So how many of you have rooted so far ? hows the phone feel after rooting ? any faster ?

Rooting alone wont make the phone faster, its what you are able to do with the root that will let you do this

Congrats you lucky git!

Oh, and I definitely want the blue if it looks like thisL

Taken from XDA

1st row: Compact florescent light, white background
2nd row: Compact florescent light, black background
3rd row: Daylight, white background
4th row: Direct camera flash, black background

All taken with static white balance.

Front and back look the same to me. Feels similar to, but not identical to white GS3. Slightly thinner back cover by the feel of it, inside of back cover is black while outside is "pebble blue".

The only other noticeable difference so far, the notification LED does not bleed into the front bezel like the white,
