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 :)

Sorry you won't find any 32GB white in NZ right now. Best you can do is pre ordered at Harvey Norman or NL for a white one and get on the same wagon as us and wait infinitely without an ETA.

Quic Broadband

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

Another case from eBay arrived for my SGS3, it's a clear TPU case which looks and feels awesome.

Is it weird that I am holding the case pretending that it is already encasing my SGS3, and swiping my fingers on the invisible (non-present) screen??

Guess I've officially gone crazy with my wait on my 32GB Pebble Blue SGS3.

Decided on the spur of the moment last weekend to pop in to the XT store, and enquire about breaking my SGS2 contract and paying the ET, then resigning onto the 24month plan.. cut a long story short, the call centre was able to do a deal and give me the lower tier 12mo+ fee, when I'm only at 9-10mo.

Nice lady on the phone even said she'd do it all for me during the week while I was out of town. Arrived home last night, and it was waiting on the coffee table for me.

SGS2 is now all cleaned up and flashed back to stock, in its box, awaiting the closure of the trademe sale that's already made me my $$ back, and it's only 4 hours old.

Finally - I was pleasantly surprised about the transition to a microsim - got one sent out for free from the call centre, and all I had to do was call the 0800 number, and confirm to the nice robotic man that I'd like to go ahead. less than 15 minutes later the microsim had my number. VERY impressed telecom, good work.

edit: oh yeah, it's a 16GB blue, and now I'm off to read the 180+ pages of the other thread... *sigh*

Got my replacement today. Brought it back home and tested for any defects on the screen using the Vibration option. Turns out this phone also has the ink like marks, although very minor in comparison to what I had on my other phone.

Not sure what to do now. I guess I will just live with it. Cannot be bothered going through all the drama again. :/

Yeah stick to it for now. Until later on the S3 is widely available then do a repair. But I hope mine is all good though.
