        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

        • scotty on 23/08/2012 - 17:30

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

      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.

      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!

    • batrarobin on 23/08/2012 - 18:34

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

  • Arcticfox on 23/08/2012 - 17:10

    Sad panda :-(

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

  • matt_will_fix_it on 23/08/2012 - 17:24

    They will be cheaper in a few months….

  • DEvok on 23/08/2012 - 17:28

    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 :)

  • PinzVidz on 23/08/2012 - 17:35

    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)

    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.

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

      • lostn on 24/08/2012 - 04:23

        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.

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

      • stumo on 27/08/2012 - 15:53

        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.

        • revo on 27/08/2012 - 16:09

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

        • tryonthis on 27/08/2012 - 19:05

          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 :/

      Great… Just realised it uses a microsim… GAHHH

  • Silly on 28/08/2012 - 11:03

    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?

    • scotty on 28/08/2012 - 11:33

      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/

      • Silly on 28/08/2012 - 12:28

        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.

        • Silly on 28/08/2012 - 12:53

          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.

    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?

    • stumo on 29/08/2012 - 09:21

      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!

    • After Dark on 29/08/2012 - 10:40

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

  • stumo on 29/08/2012 - 09:25

    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.

  • stumo on 29/08/2012 - 15:07

    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.

    • tryonthis on 03/09/2012 - 10:57

      Any update, stumo?

      • stumo on 03/09/2012 - 12:20

        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.

  • Johnx on 31/08/2012 - 12:35

    • After Dark on 31/08/2012 - 13:33

      Mine did

      • Johnx on 31/08/2012 - 13:44

    • bigtom_999 on 02/09/2012 - 21:32

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

      • revo on 03/09/2012 - 01:52

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

        • stumo on 03/09/2012 - 12:22

          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.

  • DanTheMan1 on 01/09/2012 - 16:27

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

  • stumo on 04/09/2012 - 09:27

    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.

  • Prettyparrot on 27/09/2012 - 19:00

    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?

  • grapedrink on 27/09/2012 - 21:47

    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.
