How much do you want to get your hands on the new Samsung Galaxy SIII Android 4.0 ICS smartphone before everyone else?
If you answered that question with “More than anything in the whole wide world”, then here is your chance, as the super-keen Samsung Galaxy S3 fans out there can get their new handset a full 24 hours before everyone else simply by pre-ordering and purchasing the phone from Samsung’s premier retail store in London.
Yes, the flagship Samsung brand store in Westfield Stratford City will be selling the SGS3 a full day early and will be allowing pre-order customers to pick up the handset on the 29th of May before the official release on the 30th.
Pre-orders must be made with the store before 6pm on 29 May and Samsung has stressed that there will be no devices to buy in-store, apart from those being picked up for pre-orders, until the following day.
But you may want to hold off on your pre-order trip plan to Stratford City, as Samsung has also announced that customers who pre-order the phone from other retailers might also be able to pick their Galaxy S III up early, as Samsung has given its retail partners the option to begin fulfilling pre-orders an hour later from 7pm on 29th May, too.
Most major retailers such as Phones4U and the Carphone Warehouse are still stating that the official release day for the handset is the 30th of May, but with Samsung now opening up the offer we can see many of the retailers offering their pre-orders a day earlier too!
If you are not one for pre-ordering or want to get your phone on a contract then the handset will be on general release in all major retailers and networks from May 30th.
