IntegerIsNumber: @Javu55 Be prepared for the biggest disappointment yet :)
I don't think we'll see the 32G by first week of July. We might even get a 2 frigging months long of delay.
My best prediction is sometimes August? Lol so much for a frigging pre-ordering scam by Samsung. They want to see how many would put their hands up first before they deciding on putting 32GB into the production line. But then they shipped the 32GB to other online shops to sell it. Where we are going to just camping around until Samsung made enough money else where before throw the bones at us to eat.

I think it's a standard proceedure lol. Everyone else in the world eating all the meat and we'll be getting the bones to stew and make soup out of it. Horray, welcome to reality.

Best I can do is wait :(

it"s not samsung, it"s NL you placed the order with!

You are correct but Samsung is the main supplier right? If wasn't Samsung delaying stuff because its trying to do too many things at the same time without preparation before releasing the products to different markets at the same time.
Should have made enough stock in different sizes before releasing it then the market wouldn't have to be starved like now.

As for now the US market is also delaying lol just like us. May be Samsung is playing the game to create demands? I don't know for sure.

I would blame NL, BrightPoint and Samsung for their lack of communication.

Agreed...I believe that this delay has adversely impacted the reputation of all 3 counterpart, NL in particular...despite following through with their QB sales, they allowed "orders to be taken". A friend of mine who ordered her unit at Dick Smith after me already got her S3 for some time...NL needs to provide a more definitive timeframe for all customers and potential customers...

Watched Fair Go last night...unfortunately there is nothing we can really do in this situation, personally I dont think NL was using baiting advertising but I still feel that they need to keep customers in touch from head office...

The situation is only as worse as it today because of various conflicting opinions and expected timeframe...

Personally, I might go purchase 16GB from else where or maybe, not even buy the S3...

To be honest...willing to pay several hundreds of dollars on a product, yet having to wait and be tortured tossed around by retailer, distributor and manufacture is just ludicrous...

Totally agreed, Samsung is trying to achieve too many goal at the same time. While the US market is also facing delay now. What is the point of releasing a phone to only a few hundreds of people and let the rest wait in a slow moving train?

The reason I blamed all of them is because none of them can providing any information at all other than tossing me around. Calling NL and was told to contact BrightPoint. Called BrightPoint then got told that they do not provide information to buyers, only retailers and was told to call Samsung. Called Samsung, was told to hang up and dial NL number again to ask or call Vodafone NZ for the information. While Samsung CS say that they does not deal with End Users. So I called Vodafone NZ and guess what? They said sorry we don't have any plan in bringing the 32GB or having any information right now, please contact NL to sort out your preorder.

So pretty much in the infinite loop lol. Grrrrrr

Thanks for this piece of reassuring information. So we do know that 32GB variants do exist...at the very least...

JB have the Blue 16GB model in store now, and they said the white was due any time. No news on the 32GB.

They are doing a deal today - 40" Samsung LED, plus 16GB SIII for $849 on $90 vodafone smart plan. Pretty good deal if you want a phone and a TV.

So went into WHS today all armed with my facts and rights. Had a talk with the salesperson, explaining my frustration and how disappointed I am with what is happening and how it shouldn't take this long. Used Neets as an example of someone with similar issues who has managed to source a replacement without fuss (thanks for the e-mails :D ).

Told them that I want to have a replacement sorted by the time I left the store this morning. Got the manager involved who rang up places including the head office. He managed to get an authorization for a replacement and now one is enroute from a store in Tauranga. Should have it by Monday! Stoked.

Guess you sometimes just gotta be a bit stubborn and let them know what you want. The manager acknowledged that the delay was not acceptable and apologised multiple times.

Can't wait to be a SGS3 owner again!

You're saying:

40" LED TV + S3 = $849 right?
What about if I pay half of the price, I'll take the TV :D and you keep the phone? How does it sound?

IntegerIsNumber: One question that still bothering me!
Why Samsung releasing white 32G first before the 32G Blue? They have solved the back cover problem a while a go and yet it just doesn't make sense why white? Even the majority of people voting for blue lol. Oh man I'm obsessed of this sh8.


hey mate! do you know where can i find that 32gb white marble here in new zealand?


ps.
im not into when it comes to parallel imported stuffs :)
