Samsung Galaxy S3 preorders shoot to the Amazon Germany top, O2 and Vodafone confirm they'll carry it
That preorder page for the Samsung Galaxy S3 at Amazon Germany? Well, it has apparently attracted the attention of so many customers, that the yet-unannounced handset shot to the top of smartphone sales there.

Priced at 600 EUR without carrier subsidies, Amazon lists it with a 12MP camera and a 4.7" Super AMOLED display. Moreover, it is referred to as the Samsung Galaxy S3, confirming once again the titling that we saw as keywords in the new Samsung  Unpacked 2012 app.

Besides the unlocked version that Amazon Germany is selling, rumor has it that the Galaxy S3 saw 10 million preorders by carriers worldwide already, with some South African telcos spilling the beans that they are expecting to stock it up in June, which seems more and more probable, considering the launch is as soon as next week.

O2 just confirmed in a tweet today that it will also be carrying "The Next Galaxy", which is how Samsung refers to the phone in its Unpacked event invitations and the teaser videos that were outed yesterday.

Yesterday, Vodafone was also spotted to bring up a teaser page for the next Galaxy, making it the first carrier to officially announce it will carry whatever Samsung has in store for us come May 3 in London.

this is good news.. but always see the final product before preordering .. sammy is know for their low quality plastic bodies...

8. Orbitman posted on 24 Apr 2012, 08:46 9

but the S3 is gonna have a ceramic body.... duh

2. ZEUS.the.thunder.god posted on 24 Apr 2012, 08:24 12

oh man. if sammy is able to meet expectations, (which i am pretty sure they `ll be able to), its going to be HUGE !!!
this phone is giving techgasm to millions of people worlwide before even its launch. now this is awesome. cant wait for may 3.

3. android_hitman posted on 24 Apr 2012, 08:29 8

lets hope your right .. i am hyped too but the build quality dissapoints me at sammy

4. ayephoner posted on 24 Apr 2012, 08:32 6

ceramic could be really impressive.

this makes me wonder if theyre going to launch next week also (or soon there after). i dont think we'll see it stateside for a month or two (maybe longer on some carriers)

what is this obsession with build quality..you wont use the phone as a brick while building your house..it will last 2 years and you will change it

30. SleepingOz posted on 24 Apr 2012, 17:12 1

Build quality and build material are two different things!

And here we are in the good old US of A...defenders of the free world and arguably the most technically advanced nation in the world and whaaaa? Let's get some news on this side of the pond please!!

31. nastynaps posted on 24 Apr 2012, 19:43

Hmmm...you should travel and then rethink that statement. Hell, just watch C-Span and you can watch our government hold back all types of technological advancement. We are good the most advanced at blowing things up though.

I just got ICS on my SGS2 ill just watch in envy on this one

9. eaxvac posted on 24 Apr 2012, 08:58 4

lol at the obession, exactly what the ifans are when a new product is released.
You guys don't even know what they are releasing, yet blindly following like a sheep.

You arn't fit to say them at all.

19. SleepingOz posted on 24 Apr 2012, 10:30 5

I can feel your frustration and your envy here, stupid nokia fanboy.
We, all here, willingly choosed to follow the new Samsung's Galaxy S because their previous versions were the BEST when they came out!
Don't take your own case for a generality! You are the blind sheep following nokia to its doom.

22. Lboogey6 posted on 24 Apr 2012, 11:41 2

i will say it is a bit much but its exciting because unlike windows they can actually look forward to change and something new instead of hey new Nokia that works just like your HTC Samsung LG and zte phone that most likely won't get windows 8

I notice a iManiac thumbing down all the comments.

12. ivanko34 posted on 24 Apr 2012, 09:35 8

Yes he is there with his red thumbs on each samsung post. He needs a psychiatric help

Didn't u see THE GALAXY S III teaser at the end with LOTS OF SHEEPS flocking together

11. GALAXY-S posted on 24 Apr 2012, 09:23 4

Yea thats pretty dumb... no matter what product it is i make sure it actually exists before making any preorders

13. Veigald posted on 24 Apr 2012, 09:49 2

So I know I'm gonna get more thumbs down than anyone in the history of thumbs here, but what is actually such a big deal about SGS3? If this is just another android phone with better specs, why is that a big deal? Especially if the specs are not revolutionary much better than the HTC One X?

14. GALAXY-S posted on 24 Apr 2012, 09:51 3

that comment deserves no thumb

16. Veigald posted on 24 Apr 2012, 10:11 2

But seriously, why is this such an event then?

25. GALAXY-S posted on 24 Apr 2012, 12:56 3

Because the galaxy s3 phone is the most anticipated device of the year!
The both the s1 and s2 have impressed alot of people with the beautiful Amoled screen and amazing specs that make the phone the most powerfull android device that hit the market last year.. we can only imagine how it will do this year! thats why people make such a big deal :)

32. nastynaps posted on 24 Apr 2012, 19:54

Anticipation should not be the indicator of a products value, ie iPhone 4S. As far as I can tell, the specs are not revolutionary but in the phone world its really a matter of how those specs are packaged. Samsung has a known history of producing stellar phones and that makes them the company to watch for their next device, plain and simple. However, only the willfully blind can ignore the similarities between the heightened anticipation for the next big android phone and the next iphone.

15. eaxvac posted on 24 Apr 2012, 10:01 2

well, you can only explain that with "sheeps". They are indeed one. (come, thumbs down! fandroids/ s-sheep)

29. EclipseGSX posted on 24 Apr 2012, 16:06 1

haha yep

17. good2great posted on 24 Apr 2012, 10:23 1

not even worth expressing your thoughts man, this site is for the left side and the right side... you're either gungho for the iphone or angry mobbed for the SGS3...

android will finally have a phone that they can call the holy grail to fight the good fight against the iphone...

this is what the hype is all about... iphone vs samsung...

choose your side please!

haha

18. eaxvac posted on 24 Apr 2012, 10:24 1

clear example of a sheep.

21. good2great posted on 24 Apr 2012, 10:31 3

lol... i hope that thumbs down wasnt from you eaxvac

that is exactly what a sheep is on "both sides"

me myself i'm a windows phone guy... just waiting until they create something super than the nokia brand...

no sheep here bro...

20. Veigald posted on 24 Apr 2012, 10:30 1

Lol, that would explain it. Hope the SGS3 fans won't be let down then.

23. Lboogey6 posted on 24 Apr 2012, 11:48 1

I would say in my opinion is has a better track record than HTC and the past couple of builds touchwiz has less hold on android than sense plus people seem to enjoy the interface
