any freebies if you pre-order from samsung shop?

hey guys! Just wanna ask a quick question here

Any idea when will the Galaxy S3 be distributed to independent phone shops? (regular non-samsung official phone shop)

Samsung shop where?

I think 16GB is enough because data stored there will be deleted if we do wipe and factory reset. All photo, music, video etc more secure when stored in external micro SD card.

After waiting at maxis pavilion for 2 hrs, they say stock is not coming in... And told me not to wait anymore... Damn...

u get 3 item for 199... and it is official samsung stuff... so the flip case is like the back case of pebble blue... not OEM... lol...

i saw the same SP is seling for RM99 at one shop...

Ask Celcom KLCC, can buy outright but price is RM2299 free screen protector

Day light robbery for a telco..

indeed.

I took the picture from iphone with flash light on...so the bottom cant see..

So the story continue....

I went to samsung service center PJ with my s3. The people are shock of what happen to it...imagine it shock them how it effect me whole night..basically I did not sleep whole night because thinking how I got the scratch. At first I thought it might be defect but think deeper I might really scratch it playing too much with it but still dunno how I did it. Only less than 24 hours I got big scratch on the screen..(feel like banging my head to wall). After the service center people cleaned the screen, we look closely found another long line scratch along the screen. Lesson learned immediately... don't use it without screen protector (might need flip open leather case).

Bad news is screen not cover by warranty no matter you bought it after one hour or what. Even it is screen defect you suppose to check the phone before you leave. Another Bad news is the screen replacement is super expensive but since I am the first customer in Malaysia to do s3 warranty I got 30% discount but still very expensive. After they told me the price, I almost fainted & hesistate for 15 minutes and few of the worker there begin take side to give me advice. But i took the side of getting screen replace. I just love this phone and can't deal with fact the screen is like that.

Enough of Bad news. It is friday!!! They have the screen in stock (very suprise they have many stock like expecting lots of replacement ) So Good news is I can get the screen replace by a pro there immediately. He is very pro and got it done under 1 hours. So I am first S3 warranty Customer in Malaysia (maybe in asia <-- nothing to be proud of )

Don't get me wrong I love this phone that why i have to spend more to get it fix. Overall samsung people are nice and helpful. I am storing my s3 away for a few days untill I got it screen protected plus getting a flip case.

To people hunting for s3 you will love the phone but take good care. I set a bad example..

you broke it in 2?

I'm curious about the price they charged you, mind sharing?
Grats that your phone is now okay.

So how much did you actually pay for it? That sucks!

i feel u bro/sis, thanks so much for the update !

Where can buy the phone without contract and where got stock?

read page 5 where I mention I have screen scracth more like a deep crack.
The left is the old screen the right is the phone with fixed screen.

sorry about your phone
most probably got tiny grain of ceramic sand at your hand while you wipe the screen
they let you capture picture they doing work?

The screen took the whole junk of the phone as you see from the picture. Since they did not say cannot tell anyone...here you go...to get it replace is RM600 - 30% = RM420
ouch....I request to get back my old screen not sure what to do with it..prolly keep it to remind myself

what was the price they charged u ? i'm interested to know. i was a victim also like you but the phone i had back then was the i900 omnia windows mobile.

the digitizer (screen as they call it) was scratched and wasnt functioning properly because of that. i went back for warranty and was charged RM 280 for it. That is with the discounted price they gave me.

also like you, i was the 1st with the omnia i900 to be sent into the worksyop lol. 6 hours old.

No this is capture when i got it home...left is the old screen ...right is the fixed screen.

dont wipe the screen now, run and find a screen protector
