Vodafone UK pre-order DELAYED.

[TobesEtc]

I ordered an S3 the day Vodafone made it available to pre order.

Last night they emailed me to say that due to "shipping delays" it would not arrive on time. They hope to get it to me within two to four weeks!

What the ...!!!

Yeah I'm the same here with a pre-ordered S3 on vodafone... although after checking out the VF forums it appears some people are still convinced they will get their phones on time and that this 2-4 week delay is just VF covering their backs... who knows?

Mine has also been delayed .

I ordered the Pebble Blue, what about you guys?

I wonder if those that ordered white are getting their phones tomorrow....

 

[pablo2749]

Yes I pre-ordered Pebble blue also.

 

[Cloister]

I also orderd the pebble blue from mobiles.co.uk on a T-mobile contract. Same delay, 2-4 weeks

Unfortunately so.
32gb white GS3's are delayed as are all pebble blue variants:

Odd, the site I ordered from is claiming to have stock.

I suppose it could be a shortage mainly for phones from networks and not the sim free unlocked versions.

I hope that's the case anyway. :afraid:

Some might get them on time, but companies don't generally send out messages like that unless it's true - why risk outraging their customers?!
