You'll be waiting a long time then. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus hasn't even hit rock bottom yet as we've evidenced this week.
If you REALLY want the phone, pay the $50 or so price premium and buy the phone now. You'll be getting many, many more weeks of use and enjoyment from the phone, rather than wasting your time checking every day over a several month period for the hope of a cheaper price and saving a few dollars. I think that in itself is worth $50-$100.
If you really think this phone will get anywhere near the $400-$450 mark even in a few months then maybe it would be worth waiting but I think you're dreaming.

+2 votesThe price slashing is because there is so much supply. Every man and his dog are selling this phone meaning that sellers are under cutting each other for sales. Same thing happened with the Galaxy nexus.
If this phone was exclusive to Telstra or one retailer then the price would not be moving.
But almost none of the phones with poor covers made it onto the market. That's why blue stock was almost non existent for the first month or so after launch. They ended up changing the colour. That's why all the blue phones look much darker than the promo shots. The QC issue didn't actually affect anything except colour choice.
well, problem is there was a 'recall' during launch time.. and that turns people off… especially when you have those lowlifes taking the opportunity to gouge customers more just because of it's colour.
from a business point of view, with any product, it's imperative to have a smooth launch and transition… this is where apple tend to do it right… then leave the problem to surface later (eg. antenna gate) by then, they already have collected the money. ;)

On a personal note, I just find it uglier than the s2. And the s2 does everything I need.
onebutters on 24/07/2012 - 15:09 ¶I agree. Samsung shot themselves in the foot when they created the SGS2. It's so good that it has just clawed onto it's value despite all these newer models coming on the scene. It seems everything released subsequently has just been about keeping Samsung on the cutting edge radar as opposed to a radical breakthrough.
+17 votesdvsbastard on 24/07/2012 - 14:39 ¶Considering the Galaxy S3 has sold 10 million units in less than 2 months, I'd say that people want this phone! :P
- camelgrass on 27/07/2012 - 20:54 ¶
Then there wouldn't be any need to drop pricing.
That only happens when supply outstrips demand.
I can't agree with that statement I'm afraid. There can be various reasons for price drops.
We see price drops everyday on nearly all tech products. Not just cos of too much supply.
Initially overpriced in Aus. for one thing. Phones are also a numbers game. If Samsung can take market share from Apple by sacrificing profit, they will do it.
+8 votesThe Galaxy Nexus was an outdated phone when it was released though…had an inferior processor, GPU and camera to the SGS2…only thing that was better was the screen. Hardly surprising that its price fell so quickly considering those facts.
As to why the SGS3 price has plummeted so much, it is an interesting one; nevertheless it makes me glad I didn't get one on release like I had originally planned (and had done so for both of its predecessors).
Though it dropped rapidly from almost 800 to 550 under 3 months, I don’t think it’ll drop to 500 anytime soon. I’d say it’ll take at least another 2~3 months to drop to/below 500. Because so far there are no better competitors, and I don't expect anything significantly better to come out till holiday shopping season. Besides, if you look back on price trends of previous high-end Android phones you’d see a similar trend, most of them start around high 700s but drop to mid 500s quickly and stay there for many months till something better comes around. iPhone 5 release in October or the next Nexus release around the same time might have an impact, but that is 2~3 months away.
+4 votesSelling as much as they can before iphone5 is out. But reducing the price so fast devalues the product. Does not matter if it actually has a better spec. If you buy an iphone and sell it in 2 months, you could lose 10%. If you buy an S3, you could lose 30%. Branding.
bluedez_man on 24/07/2012 - 13:38 ¶I believe that there is also some rumour that an update to the S3 is expected to align the phone available here with the Korean version - i.e. 2GB RAM, 4G LTE.
I read somewhere that this phone is expected to come out in September/October, however, I am not sure if this is for us, the US, etc etc.
+3 votesmaverickjohn on 24/07/2012 - 13:59 ¶the only other version expected to arrive in Oz is the dual core krait with 2gb RAM and 4G. the CPU/GPU is a downgrade from the international version.
- bluedez_man on 24/07/2012 - 20:29 ¶
Thanks for clarifying that maverickjohn. The last report I read on it was not too clear on the CPU/GPU.
As for whoever negged me, whats wrong with adding into conversation with "I believe there is some rumour" in my opinion, it is a fair bit different from me saying something along the lines of "They ARE coming out with a new version that is….."
Sleepycat3 on 24/07/2012 - 14:45 ¶And it will only support certain 3G frequencies. I can't remember which 3G frequency support this Korean version will drop in order to support 4G.

assailantsky on 24/07/2012 - 13:51 ¶More than 10 million unit sold worldwide and it is still above $500 each? How does Samsung make money on this…
+2 votesifonlyiwasyounger on 24/07/2012 - 14:13 ¶Why is blue so scarce? A blue one for the same price - or cheaper - now that would be a bargain!
test123123 on 24/07/2012 - 14:26 ¶I will get it pretty soon :)
Really tempting
Anyone bought stuff from them?
+19 votesI remember a guy not negged on OB for saying he wanted to wait for it to get to $500 when this was released…
I imagine he is now laughing, sipping a glass of brandy in his high backed antique leather chair with a white cat on his lap, caressing its back with a wide grin on his face in his enormous mansion. my imagination does run away with me sometimes
+1 voteThe Quote Train on 24/07/2012 - 16:40 ¶Want to buy one with a cracked screen (1 line down the middle) for an appropriate price?
+1 voteMonocleMoose on 24/07/2012 - 14:57 ¶This price dropping is starting to get very tempting. What are you doing to me ozbargain!
I wonder how much the Galaxy Note 2 will be. I wonder how good the iPhone 5 will be - it certainly has some very strong competitors now.

Why settle for GN or a GS3 when you can be da bawwws: http://www.millennius.com.au/p150-Millennius-Boss-Phone-Powe...

Just got my phone Sep/2011. Not even one year then S3 is out….. Samsung really going fast.
+1 votetheguyrules on 24/07/2012 - 19:23 ¶Bought mine for $747 from DSE, and don't regret it: extra year local warranty, and my original phone had a battery issue so I got the unit swapped on the spot (…eventually).
Also: Amazing phone. After the iPhone 4, this phone is blowing my mind with the things it can do.
+1 voteheyrosered on 24/07/2012 - 22:12 ¶well the upside to missing out on this is that if i wait about three days i can get it for $20 less anyway
- test123123 on 24/07/2012 - 23:15 ¶
Thanks for the comment.. So after 3 days it will be $530. Then after 5 days it will be $500.
Cool, I need to wait for a week for $500 :)

Unless it has been changed recently, and it should take 5-7 business days for delivery. Maybe you misread when it said dispatched within 2 business days.
