          nucgaek on 30/05/2012 - 17:58

          I have a feeling it is… unless the OP says otherwise.
          Blue S3 have already been sold (in the UAE or something) but they've been recalled, no stores have any ideas when working stock is available… hopefully I'm wrong but it might be a case of having to return it soon afterwards.

          BTW, any chance of pick-up? do you guys have a local store anywhere?

        •  
          the69thhokage on 30/05/2012 - 18:08

          @nucgaek, Pretty sure they arent a bricks and mortar store ie i dont think they have a store in the Carlingford region for you. And why you want to upgrade from your Desire HD so soon?

          AND white looks so much better IMHO

          nucgaek on 30/05/2012 - 18:34

          It must be the 2 month wait until ICS comes out for DHD :P Too bad HTC doesn't care much for your phone either.

          Also, as the wise users of whirlpool have said, "Toilet seat white" makes it look like a toy, and it'll lose colour easier.

          make sure you let ppl know that even though topbuy website says repairs will be done at a local service centre, that a) you have no local service centre in vic and phone needs to be sent back to hong kong. b) you hve no phone number ppl can call for warranty issues so it takes days just to get your authority number to send something back and c) you have no local service centre! you may be wondering but i am currently going thru a warranty issue with my s2 thru topbuy and it has been 3 days of messages and still no idea of what is going on with my faulty phone!

          you must be in the apple zealot camp.

          any decent android user will tell you they have under $1 deals quite frequently on the markets, and guess what, you don't have to give money upfront to apple!

          you will be charged according to what you use… a concept quite difficult to grasp for some. ;)

          the fact that you always can get huge % discounts off the itunes gift card is already a big hint that the prices are already over inflated.

          for all the years you are living in Australia, have you seen woolies/coles give 50% on their cards? lol.

      lostn on 02/06/2012 - 14:11

      It will go down pretty fast IMO. All Android phones do. No individual phone has near the market share of an iPhone, so they can't afford to keep iPhone-esque pricing for very long. They're mainly pricing themselves individually towards the early adopter who's willing to pay to get things earlier than everyone else. Once that market dries up, pricing will dip steadily.

    •  
      nexus4 on 30/05/2012 - 21:12

      No doubt S2 is a good phone, but the reason I held out for the S3 was the screen. S2 has a 4.3" screen but only 480*800 resolution, same as Android phones from 2010 (even the same as the Nexus S which has a smaller 4" screen). So basically it's old tech in terms of the resolution.

      Bigger battery, camera fetures. Also a few software features such as S Voice, Pop-up play and Smart Stay. As with all phones you pay a premium when buying it as soon as it is released.
