I think that's why the release date has been put back a thousand times. S3 is Nokia's last chance to show what they can do and tbh I'de rather wait a few more months for it to be stable then have a load of updates to apply.
Release date for UK is 23rd Septemeber only at Nokia.com I think, then 1st October pretty much everywhere else. Contract end's this month too. Perfect timing
Used one today, do not want.
