SG3 on VM?
 
Any heard if VM will get the new Samsung SG3?

Too early to say yet. Also the Galaxy S3 uses a Micro SIM and VM still don't offer them.

I spoke to a bloke in the VM store and he said prob next month now, gutted I am really hoping to get my hands on the SG3 been looking at the videos and it looks amazing.

Well the phone isn't released till the end of the month anyway and until VM start doing Micro SIMs then they won't be getting the latest phones like the One X or even the Lumia 800.

They must start pulling their fingers out as people want the latest technology.

They have done well recently but I am guessing micro SIMs are what's delaying things. Must be issues with testing them or systems or something am guessing.

We all work for VM and unless I am mistaken there has been no official announcement that we are getting the S3.

However considering how popular the S2 has been I would say that once the Micro SIM is on the network then the S3 will be a dead cert.

also note the time of VM's anouncement, mine was a good 5 hours before that.

Re: SG3 on VM?
 
Stop being so cocky. Maybe some of us were waiting for the official announcement rather than leaking info ;-)

Aren't we in Summer next month anyways lol.

Good news as one of my contracts runs out in October so will get the S3 for the mrs. I've got the S2 and have to say its the best phone I have ever used. Better than the iphone I had too

BenMcr 10-05-2012 11:06

Re: SG3 on VM?
 
Or you could get the S3 on her contract, but give her the S2 and keep the S3 for yourself ;)

I had exactly the same thought. My mrs is due an upgrade in October and I made that suggestions. I won't repeat on here the exact words used :erm: ;)

Most companies are doing a bit more advertising than that.

Well they haven't set a date officially yet so there isn't much point just now.

No mobile company has set a date for the SG3 to be released yet.

Yes they have, they are all releasing on the 30th May. That is also the date announced by Samsung.

Another thought of mine. Come October the price will have dropped when we get it, by far a better phone than the iphone and at half the price.
