Noel Leeming ‎*apologies - sent that too early! An order for the 16GB phone in blue on the Vodafone network should be arriving sometime this week; should you wish to inquire as to when it will be arriving, you can get in touch with our Customer Care team on 0800 44 44 88. Cheers.

But again no mention of 32GB.

when I went into the NL store the other day, the price/display for the 32GB variants was still there...which implies that they were still taking orders...?

Heathcotes also taking pre-order for 32GB in both white/blue as well. And on their site saying that 32GB are "IN STOCK". lol May be I was dreaming? But now it is no longer there!

Expansys NZ have stock of 32gb in White (showing 84 in stock now). When I first saw this today they had 89 available.

Pebble Blue shows 'Pre-order to be first'. No delivery date.

But you got to pay import tax with Expansys. Otherwise it is a good option.

I think they took the site off. I saw it yesterday. The price was 1147. But can no longer find it :)

I bet a lot of people calling them up and for information

Just called NL customer care to ask if they had an ETA on 32GB Blue and they said that they didn't want to over promise and not deliver but the customer care representative was fairly certain that it was going to be this week. I double checked that she was referring to the 32GB blues. Fingers crossed I guess.

Nop I think this week is the 16GB Blue/White preorders. I don't think that we'll see the blue 32GB any time this month at all. Best bet is when the US launch start shipping their 32GB. Then we might see some 32GB unearth as well.

I'd take it that we might looking toward July? Mid July may be or August? But New Zealand is a very small market so I assuming that we won't get it until December lol if we are lucky. Unless my predictions are wrong then I will predict another ETA on 15 June 2013 to get our 32GB :) Or may be it is a myth like the S2 32GB.

I actually contacted Heathcoates asking if they actually had the 32GB in stock as per their website when the link was first posted on here. Got told that was a mistake and told me he was taking that particular page down. Oh well, guess we gotta wait for our 32GB models.

^Fingers crossed that the NL customer rep knows what she's saying. Cos it'll be awesome if this is the final week. Coincidentally I have a feeling that this week may be the golden week :-)

Hahha I hope you're right brother. I wouldn't mind if the 32GB is getting here next Monday. But we're moving toward the end of June now. And 22nd June is the official release date for the Blue 16GB internationally I think. Read it somewhere that UK will get their blue S3 on the 22nd. But July 9th will be the release of AT&T S3.

Our time frame should be between 22nd June - 22nd July.

Dont know if anyone has read about earlier units having "faulty" screens as such...different colour tints, screen marks when used in the dark...so far, a large number of the earlier units have such faults...I hope later ones are better...in exchange getting it later lol...

I hope so too. I hope Samsung add 2GB RAM into our 32GB version as well as an exchange for the wait :P
It would be a dream comes true.

Would love the Korean version if it does work with our 3G on Vodafone. I think it is 2100 and 800. Bonus the DTV :D Exynos 4Quad + 2G RAM + DTV. What more do I want?

I think the Korean variant supports all GSM + LTE (700Mhz) since Korea also has GSM network (they built specifically for the iPhone)...If we can get hold of a Korean variant, it will be very similar to the current Ipad3...LTE redundant...I cant seem to find the specific model number for it...

ATT, Veri, TMob all have specific model numbers such as T999, I535 etc...

the only downside...potentially very little custom mods/roms/kernels since its a regional specific model...well for me...I mod pretty much everything I have haha...
