Anyone can make these sort of pics. 'Insert piece of paper here' type thing which is why you've suggested it. How about a picture of the phone logged onto your profile page on here?

Just ordered mine from Vodafone, a blue 16GB version. Unfortunately they didnt have any in stock. However he did say that I would have one by Tuesday.

Ive ordered the blue one just over a week ago and they said they should be getting them last Friday (8th), but chased yesterday after not hearing anything and they said to now expect it next Tuesday (19th) as they are getting another shipment Monday.

Cant wait. Already have case, screen protectors and 64gb U1 memory to go in it.

I have right next to me right now a Blue GS3 would you like a picture with a piece of paper and my user name wrote on it? I also have a iPhone4s and a Blackberry bold 9900 RIGHT NEXT TO ME RIGHT NOW.

I dont believe you got your 17 year old daughter a SGS3 or the reasons given for not liking it. I have faith in humanity and refuse to beleive anyone could be that daft.

Which screen protector and case have you purchased for the S3?

Lets hope they stick to their word, and get them out to us by Tuesday.

Oh yes.

Admittedly I have not had a major play with it yet but it's super quick, the screen is fantastic!

Videos on it look immense

Thanks for that review you posted Paul, found it very interesting and makes me wish i never got a One X. I guess i can't complain because i got the One X free but tbh it's a terrible phone and no where near as good as my previous sensation or the new S3. I'm done with HTC for now and i'm getting a Samsung (as long as there are no issues) asap.

don't want to point out the obvious...but you are using the radio with the headphones plugged in, right? (they double up as an FM antenna)

No, I ordered mine direct from Vodafone...got a good deal. I did ask them to match the price from buymobilephones, but they couldnt...got it down to a couple of quid more a month, which I was happy with.

As it happens mine will be delivered today, instead of Tuesday. Got a text today from the courier giving me a 1 hr time slot of when it will be delivered. Just waiting for the misses to ring now, to say its arrived.

Thanks for that link. He was honest and unbiased, which is what I want from a review. He highlight the cons as well as its pros. Then leaves it up to the user to decide if the phone is for them.

yes he's a friend of a friend and his vids keep showing up on my google+ stream but this is the first time I've actually watched them. A refreshing change from a lot of the fawning by the techy sites.

just picked up a S3 in white and currently setting it up. It is a stunning phone and the screen is beautiful. Watching the Coldplay Paradise video on You Tube and picture is better than my TV

I just went for a pack of 10 cheap screen protectors and a cheap gel case both off Amazon (think they were £4/5 each, but I think they may have even had a couple of good reviews).

Just bought them for a cheap option so I have something when the phone arrives.
