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

Come on CPW, give me my order confirmation! They said any orders of whites before 5pm today will be delivered tomorrow!

I didn't get a dispatch notice till around 7pm. Order confirmation was instantaneous.

This is probably just a clever ploy to sell as many white ones as they can as they have realised hardly anyone wants a white one

 

[banger9365]

looks like the blue has been pulled by the rain forest only a third party one showing

 

[fornowagain]

My thoughts entirely.

I mean how on earth do you manufacture six hundred thousand faulty backs and nobody notice ?
Quality control should have gone to spec savers is it ?

Doesn't sound like there will be any blue for awhile if it's a design error, doubt even the 5% is likely.

Yesterday I spoke to a telecoms industry insider who explained to me that of his company's stock of the S3, less than 5 per cent are of the blue variety, so it seems the UK is certainly one of the areas affected with "short supply".

However, sources close to the manufacturing process told Reg Hardware that Samsung had sent the team incorrect computer-aided design (CAD) files at the last minute, prompting the production of "millions of dollars worth" of cases with incorrect measurements.

Ok, I just phoned CPW, they said that if you ordered the blue then keep an eye open for an email or text giving you instructions on how to change your order to white.

I'm probably going to cancel my order now. Keeping the S2.

To hold out for my blue S3, or to just buy the white one instead, decisions decisions.

Credit check takes a couple of hours then it passed to the warehouse. Takes a little time.

I'm at Westfield Stratford and have just pre ordered a white one for 500,
Apparently there will be a free accessory too. I decided white looked nicer
than blue.

My cousin pre-ordered a blue one about a month ago, on his upgrade via o2. He spoke to them and apparently they have taken delivery of blue and have them ready to ship out. I don't think o2 know what they are talking about, I've just spoken to one of their advisors online via webchat and he said all pre-orders of blue handsets will be received by the first week of June.

 

[Piecan]

Oh forgot I think I heard him say 58 left. And I'm getting mine after 6pm.

 

[thep02]

Hmm ah well too late for me, not too fussed but nice spot
Don't forget the £100 cashback quidco are doing for three 12 month contracts!

I'm getting one now to replace my GG, I'll get sim 600 unltd data for £15 after deductions £6.66 a month in the aim of ultimately putting it into whatever new phone I buy in the next 20 wks or so rendering it an instant bargain.

 

[Intratech]

Do not like white phones. Might cancel this pre-order malarkey.

 

[thep02]

Dunno, 600,000 faulty units?

6.66% of the 9 Million preorders!

There's that 666 again, was the devil in the detail?

 

[thep02]

I said 2-4 weeks, not 1-2!

This is a travesty!

And me, I'm gona see if Quidco are doing any deals at other bookies

 

[Cosimo]

Just got my "Your order has been dispatched" email.

 

[thep02]

Why don't you ring them?

Eventually they had no other recourse than to ban his number, a group of their staff had refused to take any more inquiries.
