Earliest Negri will ship is 5/25 but keep in mind, that's a weekend AND memorial day on Monday so the earliest overnight shippers will get their GS3 is the 29th. Earliest for expanys is the 30th.

You need to be careful with their quoted price. I have just found out they adjust their price to the VAT rate of the delivery address in the EU, at least they do for delivery to the UK. I think Ireland is 23% VAT? that means, if I am right, their quoted price of 588.80 will go up to 608.59 plus p+p for shipping to Ireland. You'll see it at final checkout.

Yup, you called it. Shortly after I placed my order on Negri Electronics it still showed 5/25/2012, but when I came on onto the site 5 hours later it shows that it updated to 5/29/2012. Either they had gotten more pre-orders and adjusted the time, or because it was the long weekend.

If you are a Sprint user or soon will be...
I love my Skyrocket and just don't see much advantage (personally) for spending a ton for the S3, but...
I was reading on Cnet's Cheapskates section that you can get a S3 for $134, free activation and a $10 google wallet credit. All of the links are posted in the Cnet article.
When you click on the link(s) it looks like it is only for Sprint users. Looks like a major drawback, at least right now, is that Sprint's LTE network isn't up and running for the masses, so you'd be limited to 3G until they upgrade in your area.
I'm not sure about all of the details, though.
I don't mean to step on any rules here about posting ads or weblinks. I just thought that this sounded like an awesome deal and if I could help save people some beaucoup bucks... If you want Sprint and if you are looking to upgrade and if you are tired of your old phone and if.... goes on and on.
I'm happy with my phone thanks to Sean's Sky ICS Rom.

Isn't that for the US-version?
Doesn't have a lot in common with the i9300 other than the name and screen.
