Well no, other site`s etc are just bundling a phone and a contract together and are sim free.
Expansys can be so overpriced. It's a very offputting website.

Better deal than what orange are supposed to be offering. other sites are putting there prices up already
But i do understand what you mean.
It's in-stock on the UK website, but the USA website is awaiting shipment next week around the 12th or 13th from the UK wharehouse.
I pre-ordered mine from the USA website today.
Hi!
I telephoned Expansys at 2.30pm today, UK time, and they said NOT in stock, expected tomorrow.
So I bought from Clove, delivery tomorrow
Ofiaich
I would rather get it from CPW or Play.
Phoned CPW today whilst at work. They said it's not even loaded on their system.
Although it was obvious, when I raised the prospect of upgrading through them but them getting the Touch HD from their mobiles.co.uk partner, they said no.

Thanks for that as this saves me a call.
It's in their new catalogue for November, so hopefully soon.
I ordered mine from Clove, UK. I live in the US. They shipped mine yesterday and It already came to the US and got stuck in the Customs for clearance. I was hoping to get it today... But I guess I will not get it until Monday or Tuesday now....
I HATE this waiting... so close, yet not in hand.
I received a email comfirming from expansys that they have shipped my Touch HD, looking at the tracking status I will be receving this early morning tomorrow...... Man can't wait any longer it been month since I pre-order my touch HD
Too happy!!!
Did you guys notice?? Yesterday Expansys and a few more webstores upped the price of the HD!!! Bastards...
They did the same when the Touch Pro got out.
Need another source
Okay yesterday I attempted an order from Expansys. Now on the website it looked as if they had more then enough in stock. After placing my order and validating credit card shipping stuff, I found out from their customer service that most of the first shipment went to back orders. So now I'm stuck waiting for the next shipment which can be from Friday til another week or two.
So I ask....Where can I order this device from and plan to get it by this Saturday ... MN USA? Again, If I was to order it right now somewhere ... where would it be that will gurantee arrival before this weekend?
Please Help
Bump.........
Mine was suppose to be here today but Fedex decided not to honor the next day air I paid for. Should be here tomorrow
Updates: Clove, Unlocked-mobiles, mobiles.co.uk have all started shipping orders. Handtec are expected to by the end of the week. Expansys have 14 in stock. Vodafone and Carphone Warehouse seem to have stock in stores.

mobiles.co.uk: various deals with a Vodafone contract (usually ends up costing around £480-£600 over the length of the contract)

Thanks to Archius for the handtech and clove suggestions, and jasonfreeman27 for mobiles.co.uk
Archius also pointed out this US site:
auroracell: $500 no shipping date yet
http://www.auroracell.com/samsung-i9000-galaxy-s-8gb.html
It's a good price, but does not take account of shipping, and tax could be expensive. Bear these things in mind if you are going to buy from them.
On contract, Vodafone will have the 16gb model, and all these prices are for the 8gb (except expansys).
***UPDATED DATES AND EMAILS***
OK, dates have been changing like crazy, and I have tried to keep up. The latest info (as of Monday 14th):
-------------------------------------
Unlocked mobiles (email thanks to Ferdimage)
-------------------------------------
Dear Customer
Just to advise, all Samsung i9000 Galaxy S orders will begin shipping tomorrow. All pre-orders will be
fulfilled and shipped by close of day on Wednesday.
Our stock is the 8GB version. If you require additional memory, we have a high quality 8GB Sandisk

Thank you all for your pre-order for the Samsung Galaxy S from Unlocked Mobiles.
Should you have any further questions please advise.
Regards
Unlocked Mobiles
-------------------------------------
Clove (emails thanks to Beards)
-------------------------------------
Part I:
We were told last week that the shipment would take place on the W/C 21st
Some distributors still believe they will get the shipment this week, but I think this is simply that the sales guys have not been updated.
I have a call in to Samsung to try and establish the exact date and whether any shipment will reach Carphone before the channel - I would be surprised
Lets await their reply later this morning.
Shipment delays on launch are always frustrating, but also very common.
However the more I see of the i9000 the more impressed I am!
Regards
Chris Love
Clove Technology
Part II:
I have just spoken to Samsung and they now do think they will get stock out later this week.
I have asked if all distribution will get stock (we have orders with all of them anyway!) and when the expect it actually to land in the warehouses.
They have confirmed that Carphone DO NOT yet have stock.

Chris Love

Handtec (email thanks to hmj2k3) - 16gb Version
-------------------------------------
Thanks for your email,
With regards to [the 16gb version] we are still awaiting full confirmation of this however upon the release day we would contact you regarding this, you may wish to take an 8GB model with an 8GB card, or alternatively downgrade to a 8gb version?
Please advise,
Kind regards.
30/05: Just spotted this thread over at modaco: http://android.modaco.com/content/samsung-galaxy-s-s-modaco-com/309557/prices/ No new UK info, but it does have some German pricing.
31/05: Added auroracell and edited post to make it easier to read. Removed paragraph about why I am preordering.
09/06: edited all the new dates in
14/06: added all the emails
Thanks for unlocked-mobiles.com I haven't seen that website before. For international (canada) it's very cheap.
There is also clove.co.uk which has it for a good price.
I will be pre-ordering probably.. and most probably this week.
I will maybe use unlocked-mobiles to order, however I heard that Royal Mail is not the best service to use.
In my opinion the Galaxy i9000's ROM is nearly full featured. Root will definitely help but it seems already great, and it's one of the reasons I will be choosing this over other phones. Also the good large screen that is good against the sun's reflection.
Edit: Actually it seems complicated to order internationally with unlocked-mobiles. I'll stick to expansys.ca or clove.

Just to let you know that I have never used them before, so don't know how reliable/etc they are. As I say, I emailed them last night and they got back to me before noon today, so at least their customer service is pretty good.
For me it is easy to recommend Chris Love's Clove Technology.
I've known Chris for the best part of 20yrs and have never come across any other seller who is committed so highly to his customer base.
Clove are a reliable Family run business where they extend their family approach out to their customers.
They may not be the cheapest but you can guarantee if your phone develops a problem you can easily turn to Clove.
I heard also that Clove has great customer service and very reliable even for international shipping.
I've pre-ordered mine on www.mobiles.co.uk/vodafone-samsung-galaxy-s.html. Picked a £15 contract on Vodafone with £229 down payment. Unlocked of course. They are quoting stock for June 4th, as I ordered mine about 5 mins after they put up the pre-order I hope to be on the first batch

Awesome! I would love to get one as early as that! I have been waiting since it was announced, and I am so impatient...
I am put off Vodafone as their "unlimited" internet is 500mb/month, while t-mobile is 1gb (does anyone know if they will give 3gb if you tell them you are using an android device, even if they don't sell it to you? They have a 3gb allowance for android in their fair usage policy)
Do mobiles.co.uk sell unlocked phones? That would be neat, because I hate branding and the apps that the networks install. Hence why I am favouring unlocked (sim-free) phones now rather than waiting for the contracts to be announced.
Yep, all their mobiles are unbranded and unlocked. Am not too worried about the internet allowance, I tend to do the big stuff within WiFi range. But I think those caps will have to grow as more people start using android phones.
I'm so jealous right now even though i got a nexus one this phone is amazing i really hope T-mobile USA gets this.

I read somewhere that Samsung are releasing a T959-or similar which is a Galaxy S without the i9000 label. Usually the Samsung Txxx phones are T-mobile USA, apparently. So it's looking good for a T-mobile release over there.
Rumours are that all your 4 (?) major carriers are getting it. I hope something similar happens here: Nothing like good competition to bring prices down...

Strangely enough I contacted Chris Love of Clove only this morning to query the UK release, given what we heard yesterday at the Singapore Live Show where Singapore will be getting the phone first on the 5th June.
Chris came back to me and told me they had JUST received confirmation from Samsung tht a revised date is now as of and I quote from Chris ~ "We have now been given a shipment date of WK23 (W/C 7th June)".

Clove are now emailing all people who pre-ordered asking them to confirm they still want to go ahead.
All you need to do is either ring them or click on the email link they will send you.
Good news!
but is the price set yet ?
It's still on the estimated price, I believe.
It is set at £385 + VAT where applicable.
He did email me this morning from clove because I had asked a question and he said it is still an estimated price, because I wanted to pricematch with handtec since it is 20 less. I'll buy from handtec then since both will be sold during June 7 week and it is cheaper and offers fedex shipping 2-4 days (to canada)
As the thread title indicates, I want to find out who (else) is waiting on a pre-ordered WiFi-only model from B&H.
I ordered one on Monday this week after they had stock (ie. No preorder), and it shipped that day and I have it in my hands as of now (Australia).

Holy balls I wish I'd done that rather than pre-order from Dixons UK. Prob won't get mine for another 10-14 days...!
B&H possibly not having supply was what concerned me. When they list their pre-order option I immediately signed up. But the next day when the release from Motorola came out, they didn't list B&H selling the Xoom. That scared me. When I saw Amazon on there.. with free shipping and 'cancel anytime' and we won't charge you until it ships.. I decided to cancel my B&H order and go with Amazon. I'm sorry you still don't have it. My thoughts would be to cancel your order and go through Amazon or somewhere else. B&H cancelled my order the next day after requesting (I cancelled it that night).. so really next business day. They are good about that. I believe other places have it in stock. These are too much fun to be waiting for someone to get in their own stock!
Pre-ordered on 15 march and I received yesterday.
With a little delayed because the accessories are not in stock so I spoke with an agent on the Live Chat and he send my Xoom tuesday. The accessories will be sent later by USPS.
Ordered on sunday (27.03) and i`m typing this message on my new xoom

Thank you, everyone for your responses!
Galactic, I am guessing that what happened to yours is happening to mine. I pre-ordered the silicone gel case and desktop dock along with the XOOM. Were your accessories either of those, by any chance?
I pre-ordered the Portfolio case and car charger but both are in backordered..
Just tell to B&H on the Live Chat than you want the Xoom NOW
I see a lot of people in the UK ordering the Note from the german amazon site, what places are people in the United States ordering the phone from and for what price? I wanted the nexus prime but this looks like it may be an overall better device, not to mention its available now and has a sd card slot which I wanted.
Negri Electronics, ~$800 US with 2nd day shipping and $35 off promo cert.
I initially wanted a prime too, but it was more for the hardware than the software (which the Note will get eventually), and the note's got better goods.
I'm always wary of ordering from Negri, plemix..etc. I just wait for it to get to Amazon.com or Newegg.com at least they have return policies on the devices. If you order from one of those NY web retailers your pretty much SOL on returns.
looks like its on backorder on negri, I thought I saw people paying $700 for the phone? I would love for it to show up on amazon.com
Handtec, paid $723, they shipped it overnight

Negri has a return policy right on their website...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I love Negri...bought 3 high end phones from them over the last 3 years. Not a single problem with returns, etc. Sorry I waited a day late to get my order in.
I found 2 places locally (Chicago area) who "said" they are getting them by Friday...we'll see!
I just bought through handtec @ $776 Canadian. US and Canadian dollars are pretty close right now, might be like $769 USD. 2-4 day shipping with Fedex to North America. They are getting more stock and shipping Friday the 4th, apparently.
Unlocked Mobiles.com
I just ordered mine last Friday, Oct 28th from Unlocked Mobiles.com and they shipped the same day. Total Cost £504.15 = $807.72! Very good about tracking and notification. Tracking shows my phone in New York, I should have it by Friday this week!
I ordered from Negri on Monday, its suppose to be in texas tomorrow. But the guy stated it was shipped Tuesday but did not have tracking number. But I kept asking and it looks like he was on back order but shipped today for tomorrow delivery. Even though I paid for 2 day delivery so he kept to his promise of the date for delivery.
Spent more than I wanted but thats fine if shows up. I had previously ordered with Expansys and they played a lot of games with my order so I canceled with them and went to Negri. But I just got an email from Expansys stating they have them in stock ready to ship. But somehow I do not believe them. There were others that received units from them. Use at your own risk.
Negri seems to be on the up and up, As well it seems there is one person that I kept dealing with on chat and email. So it might be a single guy running the site. So far he has kept to his promise and that means a lot when trusting a unknown website.

They have return policies, that said I've never used them before, so I've never had to return anything to them. Generally I'd agree with you, the big web stores feel better, but lots of people here have used negri before with positive feedback.

Anyone else order their S3 through Wirefly?
If so, keep us updated on the shipping status.
I got mine on Sprint via wireflyfriends.com and they say the first orders will start shipping tomorrow. Since I'm only paying $150 for the device, I went ahead and upgraded my shipping to overnight. Fingers crossed that I get mine on Friday!
Ima upgrade mine today on sprint what was the total under $200? With overnight?
My total should be $170 with overnight shipping. I also should be getting a $50 kickback from Bank Of America on the purchase.
I'm on the waiting list at 6 local Sprint stores for a 32 GB version. If I get a call from them before I get my shipping notification from Wirefly, It's going to be hard as hell to sit and wait!
im on three waiting list lol i just want a blue 16gb and i cant find one anywhere!!!!!
i say sit and wait you technically have been waiting since thrusday =P
Wirefly's FB page says they should have an update on their shipping plans "soon."
From their FB page:
Great News! We’ve learned that the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III will launch on July 1st. This means we will begin shipping your pre-ordered smartphones this weekend! Thanks to everyone that placed a pre-order through Wirefly.com. This is a great smartphone, and I know you will love your new Galaxy S III.
