Samsung Galaxy S3 pebble blue on sale at Phones 4U - PC Advisor
Phones 4U has started selling the pebble blue model of the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Beats Samsung's launch date but stock is limited
The firm has made the announcement after Samsung said the phone would launch on 22 June. The marble white model was launched as planned in May but the pebble blue version was delayed because of its 'hyperglaze' coating.
Phones 4U said the pebble blue Galaxy S3 is: "Available now on the Vodafone network. All orders placed will be dispatched on the next working day subject to stock availability and credit check."
However, it said that orders placed on the O2 and Orange networks will have to wait between two and three weeks for delivery – confirming the model is still is short supply.
In a statement sent in May, Samsung said: "Samsung's Galaxy S III Pebble Blue version comes with a newly invented blue colour and special hyperglaze material."
"In order to meet the highest internal quality standards and to provide the best quality Galaxy S III to customers, a short supply of Pebble Blue version is expected in some regions in the next 2-3 weeks."
Phones 4U is selling the Samsung Galaxy S3 from £31 per month with the handset free. Check our Samsung Galaxy S3 UK price and release round-up for more deals.

"Considering the current market atmosphere, the company can expect to sell 30 million Galaxy S3s this year alone. The new release will keep Samsung atop in the global market until its next product. The sales number will be very high until then," said Kim Uoon-ho, an analyst at Hanwha Securities, according to an IBTimes UK report.
The Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS), meanwhile, suggests five to six million units of the Galaxy S3 will be shipped during the second quarter of this year and 10 - 12 million per quarter in the third and fourth of this year. BNP Paribas, stated shipments of the Galaxy S3 were expected to reach 15 million units in the third quarter; this is double the average sales of the Galaxy S2.
"The Galaxy S3 is being rolled out to all operators supporting all communication standards, including the TD-SCDMA and LTE. And given its large volume, Android application developers are focusing their resources on the Galaxy as the reference phone," said Peter Yu, an analyst at BNP Paribas.
The Galaxy S3 ranks as the UK's most popular smartphone and has replaced Apple's iPhone 4S, based on live searches and sales, according to uSwitch Tech's Mobile Tracker. uSwitch is a phone comparison and switching service in the UK and according to them the Galaxy S2 was on top of the list for 11 consecutive months before being replaced by the iPhone 4S in May. However, soon after the Galaxy S3 released in the UK, Samsung's new phone pushed the iPhone 4S to second, the Telegraph reports.
"Feeling surprisingly light to carry due to its brushed polycarbonate casing, especially considering the vast 4.8 Super AMOLED screen, the Samsung Galaxy S3 looks set to five the iPhone a serious run for its money," said Ernest Doku, technology expert at uSwitch.

Samsung Says Speculation It Will Buy Nokia Is Groundless - Bloomberg
Samsung Electronics Co., the world’s largest mobile-phone maker, said market speculation that it is interested in acquiring competitor Nokia Oyj (NOK1V) is groundless.
Samsung, based in Suwon, South Korea, made the comment today in an e-mailed statement. Shares of Espoo, Finland-based Nokia fell 0.7 percent to 2.35 euros at 11:27 a.m. Helsinki time, after jumping 6 percent on June 8 amid speculation Samsung is preparing an offer.
Nokia, struggling to recover lost market share, has declined 46 percent in the past year as consumers snapped up Apple Inc. (AAPL) iPhones and Samsung smartphones running on Google Inc.’s Android software. Samsung overtook Nokia in the first quarter as the world’s largest handset maker, according to Gartner Inc.
Samsung also denied it’s interested in Nokia a year ago, responding to reports that it was getting ready to make a bid.

Vodafone EuroTraveller slashes roaming charges when abroad - Pocket-lint.com
Good news for holidaymakers and business travellers, with Vodafone cutting the cost for calling, texting and using the internet while abroad.
For 3 a day, pay monthly customers can opt in for the Vodafone EuroTraveller, which means their standard UK price plan will apply when using their phone from another European country.
Customers will be charged only as and when they use the phone rather than at an ongoing daily rate, with no additional cost to sign into the scheme. That’s not all folks: sign up to Vodafone EuroTraveller and customers will no longer be charged for receiving calls or texts while abroad either.
From 1 July, Vodafone is set to reduce call rates to 28.8p a minutes and 8.9p per text message, but the EuroTraveller 3 a day option will still be an attractive option.
Customers can opt in for Vodafone EuroTraveller by calling 5555 or by visiting vodafone.co.uk/eurotraveller.

T-Mobile: Samsung Galaxy S II Android 4.0 update coming tonight at 11 p.m. Eastern - PhoneDog
Earlier this month, T-Mobile announced that the Android 4.0 update for its Samsung Galaxy S II would be coming on June 11, and now the carrier has even narrowed down the launch to a specific start time. T-Mobile has updated its support document for the update to show that it'll be available starting tonight at 11 p.m. Eastern, 8 p.m. Pacific. The update is software version T989UVLE1 and will bump users up to Android 4.0.3. The full changelog as provided by T-Mobile:
Version
- Android version 4.0.3/ Software version T989UVLE1
- Manual Update ONLY (Size varies based on previous software version)
- Approved 6/11/12
Improvements
- Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS)
- CMAS improvement
- Wi-Fi Calling enhancements
- Voicemail enhancements
Prerequisites
- Android version 2.3.6 / Software version T989UVKID/KL1/LDE update
- Latest version of Kies software downloaded on PC or MAC
- At least 50% battery life
T-Mobile notes that this optional update to Android 4.0 will only be available for download using Samsung's Kies software, meaning that there won't be an over the air push. Also, installing the update will wipe the homescreen layout of the updated device, so you'd better take some mental photos so you can remember the exact placement of all of your apps. Those two details might be kind of a bummer for some of the T-Mobile Galaxy S II owners out there, but considering that you're also getting moved up to Ice Cream Sandwich, those small downsides will likely be worth it. So how many of you T-Mo Galaxy S II owners have now cleared your schedule for this evening?
