good price even for a grey import. Anyone had any experience with the vendor?
Looks like they take paypal, so a little safer
wow
OP, you might want to add this is 16Gb version
tried to pricematch this yesterday at OW in Perth(Eastperth, Subiaco and Joondalup)and all three shops refused to match it..
What was the reason for refusing to pricematch?
probably because this is import stock and OW sells Aus stock
Im always seeing people getting sweet pricematches so im going to try a few other office works tomorrow , with aus charger and aussie warranty worth the try
all three said, that it's a different warranty, so therefor they couldn't match it :(
That sucks,
I have always had good success price matching at subi (I price matched a gray import Galaxy Tab 7.7 a while ago when they were going cheap, with no issues).
I hope they haven't decided to tighten their policies.
I don't get it: both Kogan and these guys say "Usually Ships in 2 to 4 Weeks". What's the reason? Who knows that in 2-4 weeks the price would not drop even further (while I'm still waiting for my expensive phone :)
They probably get them in bulk at a good price - but they would wait until they had a lot of orders to fulfil.
I think its just to cover themselves. Ordered SG3 form them last week, Monday the 1st received it first thing this morning.
I hope you dont get any issues. If you do its like a 6 week turnaround =\ ive gone through 2 S3s from kogan, total of 12 weeks i havent been able to use the phone. So basically i havent had a fully functioning s3 since day one about 6 months ago…disappointment in your life. Fortunately the price only dropped about $30 since i bought mine, but the note 2 has dropped way more
Looking at vendor's old post.
June 2012 this phone was going for $679.
Good price now!!
I'm getting page not found. Site ozbargained?
Since the price is now similar to Nexus 4, which one would be the better choice?
Nexus 4, on mine now.
Nexus 4 doesn't have very good battery life, some reviewers say.
I also prefer hardware based softkeys rather than touchscreen ones, since the latter takes up screen space and reduces the vertical viewing area.
All personal preferences, I know, but those 2 reasons are why I would prefer SGS3.
I own and prefer the Nexus 4. Reasons being: Stock Android, don't like Samsung's design (too much plastic) and the battery lasts me two days with light use.
personal preference
Samsung S3:
microSD slot
removable battery
better battery life
slightly bigger screen
Nexus 4:
vanilla android - always updated with latest version
more powerful/faster
better screen (higher dpi/better looking)
fragile if dropped
Has anyone dealt with thinkofus before?
In case there is a problem with the phone and we need to do RA with them, will thinkofus think of us?
Bought a 32G iPod touch a while ago - no problems
I am tempted to get one but I often travel in poor reception areas and Choice gave this a poor reception score- 56%.
Curiously, some of the cheaper Samsungs tested much better- Galaxy Ace Plus-85%:Galaxy Xcover-83%
Is there a link or can you send me a copy of the Choice report about the S3? I've always had reception issues with my HTC Desire Z, random drop outs etc - on Vodafone, Telstra, and TPG - and I was going to upgrade to a Galaxy S3 but… I don't want ANOTHER phone that appears to have signal but not be able to receive or make messages/calls/data. I'm over it.
Good points:
• Very good web browsing and still camera performance.
• Good durability performance.
• Very good performance as a music player.
• Can capture HD video.
• Excellent email performance.
• Bluetooth 4.0 support.
Bad points:
• Overall video performance only OK.
• Reception performance only OK.
I'll try a link but doubt it will work- members only. Anyway that's the gist of it.

Samsung Galaxy S3 is the most popular cell phone in the world in 2012, is that right? According the marketing statistics & survey . I like this deal and think it is worth my stopping here.
Yea, that's because Samsung gives out high incentive to the phone retailers. Many of the phone shops I visit. They often promote the s3 over other phones. Also, it happens in Taiwan that Samsung's using their hired marketing firms to write fake reviews and user comments for their rival phones I.e. HTC one and other high end phones. It is a big news in Taiwan.
Like no one else does that. Not even companies under fruit logos… Sure ;)
Got a link?
hey guys - just thought I would try and price match with ow with the S3 and guess what ow wentworthville priced matched it with thinkofus.com.au
I am leaving the store now will upload the receipt soon for any one who is interested.
price I paid at @ OW is : $360.05 after the 5%
Hi, that would be great if you could upload the receipt, ill try tomorrow =)
Wouldn't mind the receipt also, The girlfriend is after a S3 and we have an office works just down the road
same here, wife needs a new phone, would be good to get OW to match techboy19872012's price. just waiting for that receipt =)
sorry for the delay guys - here you go:
Hi, could you post the receipt again with the date as well? thanks.
How does the whole printing an officeworks receipt work?
Do they just apply the discount as it has been previously purchased at another office works store?
Doesn't matter anymore.
why not?
im not sure, but i sure was going to give it ago with a price match if the guy with the receipt posted the whole receipt, but i doubt they would even look if it doesnt have the date on it.
As I purchased one above, check in the Electrical and Electronics section.
I have posted my full receipt there if you want to give it a go.
Oops it's under Mobile in the forum actually.
Hi thanks for the pic but would it be possible to include.more of the reciept like the date part as well thanks heaps.
Now $360
Is it just me or is it $360 now? Delivery cost?
it's always been $360. $379 includes shipping

I don't know if the comment is true, just for refernce.
just wondering if anyone actually purchased this deal? I did and still waiting for the stock to arrive.
I sent a couple of email inquiries and also attempted to call them many times but noone answering.
I'm in the same boat as you andrew. I ordered early April. It's now May and still no phone. I called the number on the website and spoke to some guy who said I ordered the "slow delivery" version. Which is 2-3 weeks to ship plus a few more days on top of that (likely another week) to actually deliver. Not impressed at all. Very tempted to pull the pin. $19 for delivery should get a better service than a 1-month delivery time frame.
But it's a grey import though right?
Maybe lodge a claim through paypal now to be on the safe side?
My Girlfriends one arrived today,Looks like a Polish Model going by the manual language
Also the one she got is an LTE version Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 4G LTE 16GB (S III) (SMG-i9305) - White
very good price
