Amazon's German site appears to be taking pre-orders of the Samsung Galaxy S III, the most anticipated new smartphone on the face of the planet. For 599 EUROS, the equivalent of nearly $793 U.S. Dollars, you can have the device reserved. The price includes VAT and according to the site, the device is not yet available.
There were no pictures of the phone included with the listing, but some of the specs were mentioned such as the 4.7 inch Super AMOLED screen that shows 16 million colors, and a 12MP camera with AF, LED flash and face detection. Android 4.0 is installed out of the box and the Samsung Galaxy S III is said to come with 16GB of native storage that can be "expandable to 32GB". Actually, we think the latter might have lost something in the translation and should read that the storage can be expanded by as much as an additional 32GB using the microSD slot on the model.
We would take all of this information with a pretty high level of skepticism, knowing that we should know everything on May 3rd when Samsung takes the veil off the phone. The interesting thing is that Amazon Germany put up the listing in the first place which makes it a placeholder more than a specific offering.
