With all the confusion surrounding the release of the latest Samsung Galaxy S3 phone we’ve compiled a helpful list of what versions of the phone are being stocked as well as who’s stocking them and how much you can get one for.
Samsung yesterday announced that both the 16GB and 32GB pebble blue versions of the phone were delayed due to a problem with the paint used. Unfortunately for users this, combined with the fact that Vodafone has stated that their exclusive 32GB white model will also be delayed, means that only the 16GB “marble white” version of the phone is available on release day.
Where can you buy one and how much it will cost:
O2 has said that their customers can buy the S3 from their retail stores as
well as online and over the phone. However, a spokesman for the company has
warned that there may be queues at certain locations due to the popularity
of the phone.
