I'd recommend that you get the tmo version and not the international version unless you want to be stuck with 2g data.

im not planning to get any sort of data plan so it would be best for me to stick with the international version.
Is there any other reputable sources to buy the int. s3? it looks they they are only offering the white version...

Well there are two options for you. people have good reviews for both expansys-USA.com and for negrielectronics.com
You also have option to import from UK from websites like clove.co.uk
All these above websites will have atleast two weeks of lead time due to tons of pre orders. Average cost its just under seven hundred bucks.
If you want to spend some extra money you can get it from Ebay as well. Average cost here is about right hundred.

when will the s3 (blue) be more readily available on amazon?
is it just hard to get one right now because it just came out?

I guess it is a lot less appealing than the Nexus 4. Oh well, let's hope this changes once the display models start hitting the stores.
yup, both 16 and 32G models are available. we must be the only country with any left!
Which means they should have our orders processed quicker and sent the same day!

Reviews are useless. If all you do is rely on reviews then just don't ever purchase anything lol. You gotta try it out yourself and see.

So why are you still posting here? Just to tell us that we made the wrong decision? well based on the reviews I read, and the videos I watched MY decision was to buy one. Therefore I am participating in this community and hoping to get more information that contributes to my purchase and at the same time offering what positive points I can to help others.
Thank you for your insight though! it was very valuable.
The 16gb is still on the US playstore.I guess Walmart is getting most of the 32gbs.
I too changed my mind for now.

Too bad you can't shop the Canadian store, still showing stock.
I ordered my 16 GB few minutes ago, this tablet looks promising despite all the negative reviews.

I'm just not seeing those as negative reviews. They hit on all the same "it's not an iPad" talking points, but as an Android tablet user since the original Galaxy Tab through the Tab 8.9 LTE and Nexus 7, I pretty much discount most of those points.
And the performance issues don't worry me based on what I've seen, it seems capable and at least as fast as a 1280x800 Tegra 3 tablet, and far faster than a 1280x800 Tegra 2 tablet. I really don't like Android gaming, so if it browses cleanly and handles video playback well, that's all I need.
Frankly, I bought it for the display and AOSP. Wish it had removable storage, but so far that's it for my list of negatives.
I ordered a 16gb off the Canadian store today. Are other countries sold out?

I just ordered mine as well. Strange these still are in stock considering how fast the Nexus 4 sold out
I just placed an order for a 32GB one.
About half an hour to an hour earlier there were none for sale.
So I think they're currently sorting through all the multi-order shennanigans from earlier.
Order status though is 'pending'
Snagged up a 16GB one, I was planing on getting the N4 first then this but guess I will reverse the order, who knows when the N4 will be available again. Play Store in Canada showing the 32GB sold out now.

That was 9:23 AM PST when the order finally went through. Right at 12 hours ago.
I'm not holding my breath on getting it this week, since it looks like it's coming out of Toronto. And why do they ship stuff to Toronto that probably came off the boat in Vancouver from Korea/China to start with? I mean, seriously, my Nexus 10 already passed through town, now it's got to come back?. Seems like it would make more sense to warehouse it at the port of entry.

Using mine in Maryland. Love it! Lots of fun comments on it, and it's fun to put it under water and surprise people.
I used mine for about a week but realized it was too big to use as my daily driver. Using a Moto X now.

I am using it in New York. It feels very exclusive to have the Ultra among all iPhones and Galaxies out there.
Hi folks! Don't have mine yet.... but please don't shoot me. I'll get the C6806 as soon as it comes out

It's not cheap it's refurbished

I can get it locally for USD 128 new in hong kong, it's nothing surprising as the gear 2, neo and fit has been released, they need to get rid of the old stock, if it was water resistant it would of been a good accessory.
I got it for 80$ in ny

Yeah, I've been holding out until the Android Wear watches come out, but I've wondered how a wearable would be for a while. I'll just wait out the LG/Moto watches then. Can't be that far away.
Few days ago in France, the first Galaxy Gear was available for only 1€ in lot of stores : you paid 101 €, and you got 100 € refund by Samsung.
I really think this device does not deserve to be paid more. I prefer my Pebble Steel from any point of view.
Got one in a McDonald's happy meal. Lol
If they get cheap enough, I'm sure you could use it for something other than a watch. I'd strap one on my steering wheel for music control.
Not that it's cheap, but I had to post this link because this thing looks awesome!

Ordered from the US store to ship here to Dubai.
This time Band 3 is supported on both the US and International models so not an issue.
Ordered from the US store, 128gb, black, to be shipped to Oman via aramex.
Also, Have a friend who works in huwawi here who is high in the chain of command, ordered 2 pcs of 128gb, he said he will bring them with him next week once he is back from his trip to HQ in China.
Fingers crossed so I might get mine next week.
