      • BTW any good deals renewing contract with voda again ?
        Negotiated 10 bucks per month l;ast time and getting 25 % off every month
        Don't know if they can do it better

        • Vodafone has dropped the ball lately. Maybe too much discount previously and now doing the back peddling?

    • +3

      It would have had +16 votes except I mistakenly clicked on neg (using my phone) so I had to revoke and then couldn't +vote.

      I reckon there should be timer before it prevents a re-vote go allow for these mistakes.

    • haha :D

    • +1

      They still have stock of the same phones, just not on the facebook deal page…. handful of phones at discount only I bet. Bait and bait!

    • Atleast Kogan has given it a new (lowest) price.

  • Sad panda :-(

    Oh well, I can stick to my original plan of getting a black one when they come out instead :-)

  • They will be cheaper in a few months….

  • Now hoping whenniphone 5 comes out, kogan will have great cheap price like with Samsung phones, they did it for iPhone 4, so iphone here I come :)

  • Ah sh!t, I'm way too late for this one, lol.

  • +1

    cant believe also that this has so many votes. Yes, its a great price, but whats the point is you only have enough for 10 mins? Just cheap advertising again by Kogan (cant blame them i guess)

    Got one. Thanks ozbargain

  • +7

    I voted like 500 times even though i did not want the phone. Your welcome :)

    • +4

      Thank you kind sir.

  • +1

    i want one also, but my sgs2 is plodding along just fine so i will try hang in until it drops a bit more , i only want it for the sake of having it, and not because i need it !!

  • +7

    Perhaps if you got one you can make a 5 minute website filled with Google Ads, then sell your phone as 'limited stock' for $499 on your website - post it on OzBargain and Facebook and have a bazillion people go to your website. Have it sell out after the first purchase. Profit from ads. Not all that dissimilar to Kogans approach.

      sourpuss much?

    Just wait for a Windows Phone 8. It'll be worth it.

  • someone(scottletts)…ahem…. got their fingers burned from frantically prssing their keyboard only to miss out , by the sounds of it ??!!!

    • Nope. I am just against bait advertising.

  • Noooooooo I missed out!!!

  • -1

    Just wait for a year, the price Would then be even more cheap, and there will be more stock so u don't need to worry like it now.

    • +1

      Everyone will have SG6 by that time

      Chinglish is strong in this post.

  • Damn my forgetfulness, looks like I'm going to buy one next time…

  • paid $799 on release …hah

  • Crazy cheap pretty fast :D

  • Boyfriend got it for $539 last week, after it dropped from ~$559. Now they've put it up to $578. Heh, I ain't complaining. ;)

    • +2

      My friend got his for $600, then it dropped.
      Now its worth $0.

      • False. Its got gorilla glass. Case Closed. hahaha still made me crack a laugh xD

        • lol sorry forgot to add the following bit…

          "And smells like human excretions…"

          He dropped it in the toilet, true story…..

      • I know someone who did this with his iphone 4. He dropped it into the river, completely destroying it. He then claimed it was stolen, got a police report and Apple gave him a brand new 4S, which he then sold for a massive profit and got a GS3. He went from a $0 brick, to a brand new 4S which he sold for over $500. Now that's how you turn lemons into lemonade.

        • +5

          Sounds more like Fraud.

        • +2

          it's more like he lost a lemon, then stole a lemonade from a store.

  • Got one - Thanks Kogan! :D

    Have been a Kogan fan for ages

    • can you tell me what Kogan delivery like ( to Melbourne ) ?

      • +1

        Bought a Samsung Note from Kogan. was in stock. Took about 1.5 weeks for delivery to 3023

  • omg, miss this deal, anyone live in Sydney who got this and don't really needed, let me know or pm me.

  • +3

    Got this after much voting, and by skipping my 2:30 lecture! Thanks to all who helped vote the deal up and beat those iPad fans! :D ♥

  • Don't worry too much if you missed out. It will be even cheaper next week.

  • damn I missed it…bring it on again kogan!!

    • Or wait till Tuesday 28th Aug for $399.

        Thanks for that, unfortunately its limited and COTD. as usual will sold out in a minutes. But good price.

  • Back in stock at full price

  • Seen the leaked video of ip5 I think GS3 still the winner :)

  • Got mine today.

    • aww lucky… Still waiting for mine got dispatched yesterday I think.
      Is it JBean out of the box?

      • No jb. And it's UK stock. I'm not lucky either lol, mine has a dead pixel so I'm going to try get it replaced.

        • ahh I just got mine just then Still yet to check it out Let me know how it goes with the dead pixel

        • If you could, keep us informed in regards to getting the dead pixel unit replaced. I'm tempted to buy a S3 from Kogan in a few months time, however, I've heard quiet a fair few units have dead pixels :/

    • +1

      Great… Just realised it uses a microsim… GAHHH

      EDIT: I cut it up myself and turned my old one into a micro sim :D but if you do it make sure you have the 2 chip centre's aligned

  • my friend just received his, using his voda sim from his current iphone, he is unable to connect to the internet on the s3, but he is able to make calls?
    i tried with my telstra sim and the internet works. but not his voda sim.

    anyone know how to fix this?

    • He needs to set up APN for Vodafone. It should fall under Mobile Network in Settings. Ausdroid has a list of APNs for Australian networks:

      http://ausdroid.net/apns/

      • i found "Vodafone live!" apn already on the list.
        but it did not correspond to the info on the that website you gave.
        once i tried to change it and save the changes. the whole APN would disappear/get deleted from the list of APNs.

        if i tried to add a brand new one and save it. it wont save too. it would disappear after i saved it.

        • PROBLEM SOLVED.

          realized he used to be on 3 , before they merged.

          hence used the sim card have a MNC for 3, each time u change the MNC the APN will disappear.

        • Silly.

  • Well it's been a full business day now since I submitted the dead pixel request for replacement. Not a peep from Kogan. Not impressed so far.

  • Received mine today, Works perfectly. But did anyone else receive german stock?

    • Mine was XX, which is UK/Western Europe. It booted in English(UK) and the box was English. But the adapter was Euro not UK.

      Have you checked for dead pixels yet!

    • I did - all good - how do we delete the German apps ?

      • What German apps? I cant see any on mine. Was yours "XX" CSC code?

        • XXLG8 - Have a page of German Apps - BILD, Liferheld, HRS Hotels, kaufDA Navigator

        • Ich habe nicht diese Anwendungen, die Sie sprechen von.

        • Fremd

    • Yup I got German Stock

  • I must admit I'm getting pissed off with Kogan…

    It's been 1.5 business days since I submitted my request for replacement and since then I've received 3 spam emails that I never signed up to, and nothing received about my doa phone.

  • Finally heard back from Kogan, thats basically 2 business days for a response (and they've managed to send me no less than 5 unsolicited spam emails since I've been waiting). Not impressed.

    Even less impressive is that now they want me to take a photo of it!

    So I did…
    http://img.acianetmedia.com/i/K4vYs.png

    I wonder what will happen next? Well, by next I mean in 2 business days time.

    • Any update, stumo?

      • Not a peep from Kogan.

        I've had the phone a full week now and I can't really use it until this is sorted.

  • did the S3's come in a sealed box? I'm still waiting for mine

    • Mine did

      • thanks, mines been in Chullora (NSW) since 8am Monday, Kogan say a couple more days.

    • Mine came in a sealed S3 box that had the seal broken…
      so it was unsealed?

      • Should be sealed if it was broken like you could tell its been opened then contact kogan immediately

        • Warning. Mine was sealed, but upon closer inspection I can see labels underneath the ones I had to cut. I'm not sure if I ct both labels, but it seems odd that there a two labels doubled up. And mine has a dead pixel, so it raises questions.

  • http://www.eglobaldigitalcameras.com.au/ has the Samsung Galaxy S III AU$541.00 delivered with "CHK10" discount code.

  • I got sick of waiting for Kogan to respond to emails, so I called. Am posting it back FOC and they will confirm the dead pixel they've seen in the photos, and will post out a replacement. Hopefully it won't take forever.

    The moral of this story is, don't use kogans proffered support channel, call them instead. I was on hold for about 15minutes, but it's better than waiting for over a week.

  • Shame I missed on the deal, can anyone confirm the s3 from Kogan is compatible with Vodaphone sim card? I am on $29 plan and still have 7 months to go, so the immedicate plan is to buy an uncloced phone from Kogan and stay with V for few months(cant wait to move to tpg or live connected when it ends.). I think it should be ok but got confused when I see some retailer labeled with "Optus unlocked etc"…

    Another question is do you guys buy the extra warranty?

  • Everyone here. Wait for the Lumia 920. Its not long now.
    You will be buying a phone that is superior to both the Galaxy S3 and the iPhone 5.
