Leave them at it at that price I'd say! May as well go with one of the UK companies like Clove or Amazon, at 500£, thats about €625 so a better option probably

Looks like if you order a white one now, you'd have it in just over a week, a blue one in 2 or 3 weeks

It's massively quick, camera is very good, screen is excellent and the battery stood up admirably yesterday. Build quality feels good too.

I really hope this is the limit that manufacturers use for screen size though, any bigger would be utterly ridiculous.

And the white??? Or wait for the blue? Most folks that have white seem happy but i think id get sick of it after a while

Anyone know if this is true? I've charged my phone yesterday when I got it with the charger it came with and then last night I used my old charger. Both times phoned charged.

Then today I plugged it into my computer using an old mini usb lead and it wouldn't charge and then when I came home I used the old charger I used last night but this time it wouldn't charge. I'm now using the charger it came with and it's charging fine..

Just read online that old phone chargers won't charge the S3 as they don't have give out enough power. Is this true as I have about 4 chargers in different locations so I don't need to bring a charger with me but now I might have to buy a couple of spares

Chet T16 · 31-05-2012 05:20PM

Does it come up with an x on the battery when you try charge it?

fionny · 31-05-2012 05:28PM

Its possible alright, the battery is a biggun. Will test it out when I get mine.

No it actually says it's charging but it the battery percentage actually goes down over time!!

I have an old alcatel charger, and it charged it no problem.

The only thing that still pisses me off is the Samsung keyboard is still ****.

Atleast you can change that

SwiftKey keyboard ftw!

JOCookie · 31-05-2012 07:49PM

It was 579euro. It actually does have some Vodafone branding on it. But I am using an e mobile sim in it now.

The new SK beta (3) is very nice indeed. Kicks the pants of the stock S3 keyboard.

EDIT:

Just realised sammy took away the cool brightness trick! Grrr I loved that short cut.

Anyone get it on an upgrade with Vodafone?

I'm due an upgrade on the 7th June. The girl in the Vodafone shop yesterday said they'll prob let me off the last few days if I ring customer care, they didn't have any stock. I'm on a Business Perfect Choice Access Plus 150 rate and willing to sign for the same for 18 months. Itching to get this I'll call in again in morning to see if the shop got them in stock.
