No, Samsung have a delay in one particular colour of the S3.

I usually support the BBC but there's one key area where its journalism is dismal: the way it parrots everything that Apple says while bashing their competitors at every opportunity.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

The headline is fine. "Samsung Galaxy S3 faces shipping delays for some models". That is completely accurate and isn't misleading in the slightest. Some models of the Galaxy S3, the blue versions and the 32gig version, are delayed. Think it's a case of being a bit oversensitive of the Apple vs Android issue here.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

Jeez the S3 is huge, I sometimes wished my HTC Sensation was a tad smaller but I'm just about getting used to its size now. But the S3 is way to big to carry around for me to even consider one. They'll be iPad sized phones sooner or later at this rate.

Nice bit of kit though if the battery power can handle it.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

It's perfectly easy to carry around.

What's hard is actually using it with one hand.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

It's really not that big at all.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

Its not that much bigger than the SSG2 and I can use that with ease with on hand

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

Anyone that ordered a blue one from O2 have you received tem? I aks as i have rang 2 different stores near me and they both say they dont have them, and only have the white ones. 1 store says they wont have the for a few days and the other store says they have been told they are not getting them in at all.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

What is it with people reposting what I've already said?

Yes there's a delay. All blues are delayed indefinitely. I already quoted that article yesterday.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

Calm down mate its just a question. Had a phone call from O2 just a in ago they do confirm that its the blue models. The delay is with all networks they say. The have very limited number of white ones as well but they are for the people that reserved the white one. Looks like my reservation will still be on list for a bit longer. Looks like samsung really did underestermate the demand for the phone

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

Well they say at full capacity (without any cockups) their manufacturing can produce 5 million a month, and they exceeded 9 million pre-orders halfway between announcement and GA (so presumably about 20 million pre-orders by the time it was actually supposed to be available).

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

The 9 million pre-orders was a case of total handsets requested by phone networks, not direct pre-orders. Therefore it's likely that 9 million was the expected level of demand for the phone including both pre-orders and buyers.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

Do you think Apple and Samsung do it on purpose? I mean for a markerting reasons to try and show it has massive demand so more people want the phone?

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

Which part? I think both may slightly under stock to show demand. I think it differs from company to company how they label pre-orders.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

Both parts. I reckon they do as a marketing thing
