NST said: Where can i buy the 32GB version sim free?
No one seems to have any. vodaphone will only sell it on contract Vodafone have a 1 month exclusive on 32gb phones, so you'll have to wait I'm afraid... Katse : ooh, that looks like a pebble blue rather than metallic blue, where did that one come from ?

got it from three pre ordered 16th may so not too early, box states is the pebble blue version and the more i look at it the more i do notice the lines across the back, just noticed the charge light has gone green here we go!
p.s. should a near 32 year old be this excited about his new toy?

kazste said: not yet turned it on as figured im best to charge it fully before doing so, was going to state that its a flat colour as in the photo and without the graded lines as per the press photos but just had another look and it is graded if looked at in the correct light and angle.
to me it looks far superior to the white version, I say this without wishing to offend anyone who has the white version and with knowledge that this will be subjective. In most angles it looks slightly off black but shows the blue if looked at closely. I am in a dimly lit room however so it may change if it gets a little sunlight on it.
need a case now as didn't want to buy one before i got the phone as feared it may be too large for me, quite like the look of the flip one but worried it wouldn't save the screen from scratches in pocket if forgot it was there and slipped coins in so may decide to look at another case. I think the glass is tough enough, you can always use a screen protector (i cant even tell mine has one on it) - the issue with this phone is you WILL drop it so it needs some corner protection against that. It's like holding a fish!

I find if you religiously keep on top of the task manager then battery life is much improved.

Nicked from another forum, these are about $10 on ebay, I think the ads say for an S2, but the S3 apparently fits just fine

Anyone worked out how to turn off mobile view for all sites? Have found how to request desktop site, but it never seems to save the preference.

My blue S3 arrived on Thursday and is great but the back panel colour is very different from the front - it's a metallic charcoal. Anybody else have this or is yours the same colour as the front?

Anybody else have this or is yours the same colour as the front? On the front of yours is the button a much lighter blue colour than the rest? Like this (pic stolen from OCUK)

Does that mean it's rare and valuable?  Or has T Mobile offloaded something cheap on me?

I expected the blue cover to be blue all over, not blue and gray. I don't mind as it will sit in a case and looks good anyway, just wanted to know in case I flog it off one day. Thanks for your replies

Had a play with one (white) in the store the other day. It felt fast, but that's a given as it's a new fast phone (didn't notice any immediate difference with my SGS2). If you hold them seperately it didn't feel any bigger at first. I also didn't get a good feel on the weight as the phone had anti theft devices attached and (I think) the battery removed.
The screen looked great, all this super-high PPI, and less subpixel looks like nonesense to me (but then again, I found the screen on my SGS2, albeit MUCH lower PPI, an upgrade from the iPhone 4.
All-in-all I think it's a great phone, but the HTC's look better (imho). Since the S2 I'm a samsung convert though so it would be a hard choice, but having played with the "next gen" phones I don't feel the urge to upgrade that much. Maybe if I still had a S1 or older or smaller handset, but from the S2 it's not really worth the upgrade imho (much like iPhone 4 vs 4S).

Guys, Let me know if you see anywhere that has the Blue S3 in stock please. Contract or SIM Free, I don't mind.
I can't find one anywhere and everyone's telling me they won't have any this week.
