I don't think so...BT Games has it for pre-order at R89.00. I think it is coming out after E3 is finished

Don't really see any issues with it. But wouldn't 1tb be a better bet?

I just hope modern WD's are not like that all the old caviars(some 2gb, 4gb, 10gb, 80gb, 600mb...) I have, most of which have died

i trust in WD, seagate HDD's have given me way too many issues :(

Yeah 1TB doesn't sound like such a bad idea :)

I don't hear too many horror stories about WD, the newest one I have is form 2003(80gb) so I don't know what thy are like now.

Yes Seagate, have had many issues there. Samsung's seem pretty reliable, much better than my Maxtor which actually now that it is only my backup drive seems to behave.....before it used to stop and then try spin up ever few hours but the fact that I started using the 5 wire stata power cables instead of the old 4 wire stuff could have something to do with it

He he he. Have to say I was a die hard Iphone fan. Had everything from the first model up to the 4s. After seeing the S3 I went and bough one the next day. They screen was the main selling point for me. 4.8" superamoled HD awesomeness. The phone looks great and its so thin and light. Still getting used to the Android thing but so far I love it.

Get the right apps and manage your battery - and you will love it. But do post your thoughts in the Android thread. We all want to know about that phone.
