Thinking of going the envirfone route myself as you hand it over and its done, ok you get a little less for it but its gone with no disputes.

Nope, just a holding order.

3 hours to go before the launch. Let's hope it's what we're all expecting

WolfForager · 03-05-2012 02:55PM

Count down timer on the Unpacked App says 4 hours.

Zonda999 · 03-05-2012 02:59PM

Tis true, 19:00 GMT is winter time. In summer, we use GMT+1, so its on a 8 o clock tonight..

Would they honour it if you waited a month to buy? Because I reckon it wont physically be available on the networks until June or even July

Your quoted price is applicable for 7 days with envirofone.
If they don't receive your phone, it just stays at a status of "awaiting receipt" on the website.
If you sent it after a month, they might honour the original price quoted, but it's entirely up to them if they want to, once 7 days has passed!

So totally not worth the gamble.

I wonder what CPW are offering as trade in on the GS2 also, I know that they gave me 150euro for the desire last year which was higher then the going rate on ebay

Never mind they are only offering 175euro!

Its crap either way when you can get 270 for a little more work.

At the moment it's €175 trade-in with the S2 from CPW.
It's not bad if you are using a bill pay upgrade as most phones wouldn't even cost that much, but if you are using a PAYG upgrade, you'd get more money for it elsewhere

If any of you have the unpacked app on your phone there is an update in the app store now. It changes the menu (you get a message to check back later) and the count down timer to an hour earlier.

Even though I think it will be great, I'm just not prepared to wait another 6-8 weeks to get one, I might just get the One X. Still looking forward to the launch though!

Nope working fine for me, Just updated it (second update of the day)

WolfForager · 03-05-2012 04:05PM

Looks like it's at 7 o'clock, the Unpacked App has lost an hour somehow.

Three Ireland, have as good as confirmed, that they will be selling the S3.

Maybe not but Im sure you get a amount of time before they have to receive it.

god's toy · 03-05-2012 05:22PM

Wife was just talking with Three and they said they wont have it till June.

god's toy · 03-05-2012 05:30PM

Edit: Live stream is up (looping video)

thomasj · 03-05-2012 05:46PM

So any predictions.

I'm predicting 2 phones tonight including the galaxy s3. Maybe an s2 plus phone?

Zascar · 03-05-2012 05:49PM

My unpacked app is still not working at all. Am I missing out not having this or will I still be able to see the same thing on the web somewhere?
Edit: looks like I'm not the only one having this problem: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsungmobile.unpacked2012_1&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zYW1zdW5nbW9iaWxlLnVucGFja2VkMjAxMl8xIl0.

Id say that's about right, we usually get Samsung phones a month after the UK.

Id say the uk will have a near immediate release.

Off Topic but do three still brand their phones - I remember years ago when I was with three they had the three logo printed onto the phone - I hated it

My last two phones from them only had a three splash screen and that was nuked with firmware
