antaeusa: NL S.Park has about 5 S3x16GB Blue in stock.
I might go in to NL and get me a 16GB Blue with a discounted price + a free Micro SD Class 10 card!? ;), knowing these dates.. I am losing my faith in the ETA's because they are ETAS.

Few other links regarding the external SD Card:

My recommendation is to wait out until the end of this month befoe jumping ship. Because you will end up losing your ship if you jump too soon.

Wait for HN and JB. Usually JB will get it first and usually they get it more than the rest.

True that, either way I lose with NL because they don't have a shipment associated with them right? I might go back to HN and put a 10% deposit and see. I would need to take my $ out of NL eh.

Well see.. I am a bit skeptical of believing the ETA quoted by BP/JB/HN. They all think it may arrive on the set date ha ha. Sweet that sounds good.

Yes but couldn't hurt now right? At least they have an ETA but NL doesn't have one at all. The last time they followed up with BP is on the 20th June, you get the picture how slack they are.

So anything other than them is having a higher chance of success. But when it worst comes to worst then Parallel Import is the way to go and pay a little premium if I have to.

Plan A: NL
Plan B: JB and HN
Plan C: PI
Plan D: get a 16GB and give them all a middle finger, including Samsung NZ.

I see, yeah I might just wait till 20 July and that's it. Yeah NL has no idea on what is going on..I think they are like the frog that sits in the well. They do know the ETA because last time I spoke with the manager he said he knows about the date but no one is willing to commit to that date including BP.

Noel Leeming is like a GoKart on a high way. It reached the top speed really quick but then that was it. While everyone else taking it slow but end up faster then them. My patience will run out by the end of this month calender.

To be honest, if I put my money in the bank for 2 months I would get at least 10 bucks back from interest.
Oh well.

I'll try and muster some inside info on this.. my mind says to wait but my heart says that it won't be here by 20 lol. Nice illustration of NL Integer! The hype of S3 gosh! Yeah you would have got 10 bux at least.. of even better if you'd invested that in share market you would have made 50 bux!!

Update!!
I will have some concrete details on this.. normally VF do this:
Release the 16GB Samsung..
then after an year release the 32GB because they don't want all the products released at the same time. Which makes sense.. so boys I think you guys might be waiting for longer ...but I will update this soon!

The more info we can squeeze is the better we are at knowing about the status of our orders.
So keep it up brother. We'll investigate further.

I went to Noel Leeming in northwood today, explained to the guy my concerns, showed him this thread, he offered me my money back or a swap for a 16 gb (still a good deal at $900), he also rang about an ETA and told me next week, and so go figure? I did say getting stuffed around was my biggest concern... I'm prepared to wait a bit.

Hmm I thought BP said that they haven't allocated any units to NL? Interesting.. lol! I will update you guys about the ETA. And it all depends on whether VF plans to release the 32GB..

Sorry my bad! But if the previous poster is correct in saying that NL has a shipment allocated to them then there is something not quite right because..
