MurrayM: 32GB Samsung Galaxy S III phones on Sprint shipping now

Yeah would be great if we have similar annoucement :( but apparently we don't get the service.

Also we've waited longer than those Yankies and still we have not have a fair treatment from Vodafone, JB or Noel Leeming and BrightPoint.

To be honest, my excitement has been died down since 15 June. Now it is not really that much exciting anymore after being monopolising by retailers and their supplier.

It'll be worth the wait. I've had my S3 since last Thursday and it's the best phone I've ever used.

Well wait only worth it when thing is worth the wait. For an S3 it is kind of different story, if the delayed is just a week long or something then it worth it. But this leading toward 1 month and 1 week of wait by the time we have any confirmation of ETA then it will be leaping toward a longer wait.

It is a disappointment when US 32GB versions are being delivered earlier than us even they launched it last week. It would be worth the wait if the 32GB version we preordered came with some good bundles or extra 1GB of RAM would be nice. Do you ever feel like MEH!! when you waited for something too long and then when you get it you kind of not having the same excitement as when you really wanting it?

The excitement of being the first one to use it, isn't much left anymore. It is like missing your boat and then you start thinking of taking the next one in 1 month or rather wait for the next year boat with better equipped technology. The WOW factor is just slowly dying out as the time passing by.

Grilled steak is best when it still hot and juicy. But once it is cool down it just does not taste as good as when it was warm or hot. That is just my opinion lol

Its been a nice journey everyone...mine in this thread is over. Thanks to jpanwala's hook up. Got my S3 today. So far...this is the best phone Ive ever used...Even coming from a S2, the S3 is definitely a well polished product...checked my screen and I can confirm no ink marks or any odd tints...very very stoked!!! "told you the later batches are better QC'ed"

Good luck...and will still be around here to help...still technically have a 32GB White on order at NL for $919...lol

Hahah I bet you have the 16GB right? Good for you mate. You're going to sell your 16GB once your 32GB arrived?
Good luck for you bro. The wait is still going :) And may be soon I'll be giving it up as well. Get my money back and wait for S4 if the damn phone isn't arrived by end of next week.

Na might as well keep this...well, its up on offers for anyone that want a 32GB for $919 if it does come...didnt put a deposit down anyways so no loss there...

Been there done that...its just rubbish how they taunt us with this...although there are some good news...next week we suspect? fingers crossed...touch wood...pray to the God that you believe in and hope that karma is on your side...and Samsung.

Well I think when the 32GB ever going to come then you should sell the 16GB. You'll run into application space issue eventually. But yes i've been cursing Samsung, Noel Leeming and Bright points for many weeks already. Not to mention how useless is our Vodafone NZ in term of securing the stock of S3. This is the first time I been through this stupid marketing scandal. I don't think I would ever going to preOrdering ever again. Because preordering usually get stuff after the none preorders anyway.

Been reading this topic for a few weeks now ever since I ordered my 32GB Pebble Blue, Today I finally got frustrated and emailed JB Hi-Fi with an alternative solution to my worries. They send me a 16GB Blue device, and when the 32GB Device finally gets released, I send back the 16GB and they send me the 32GB and I fulfill the full price. I wasn't expecting them to agree with this but they said in this one case they will allow it! Couldn't be happier and extremely excited to finally have hands on time with the device :)

For those who waiting for the 32GB. Just called up NL head office again and guess what?
The news is now soiling down as the head office has confirmed that next week there will be a shipment of the Galaxy S3 coming in to NZ but those are going to the 16GB version only. There is no specific date or promising date of the 32GB version ever coming to NZ at all. Sadly there is nothing they can do, NL is blaming it on Bright Point but Brightpoint is blaming it on Samsung and Samsung is blaming it on Vodafone. So Vodafone is blaming back to NL. We're in the infinite loop.

*Sigh*
