Samsung Galaxy S III on pre-order from Expansys

The Samsung Galaxy S III is already starting to appear up for pre-order for early buyers, but while on Amazon it costs a hefty $800, the new listing for the Galaxy S III on Expansys USA prices it at the much more affordable $694.99.

The handset sells unlocked and with no carrier ties, so that means you can freely use it anywhere in the world.  Also, placing the pre-order now wouldn’t charge your credit card and the website will still ask you if you really want to but the phone when it’s in stock. All of that comes with no cancellation charges, so for those of you wishing to be among the first to get the SGS III, this seems like a good option.

Of course, you can always wait for the carrier versions of the SGS III. After all, you’d probably still need to sign up a contact to get a relatively good deal on data. The price on contract will be much less, between $200 and $300.

Want to pre-order the Samsung Galaxy S III? You can now - the Galaxy S III is up for pre-order on Amazon Wireless with the price set at the hefty $800 off contract. This will make you one of the first happy owners of the handset as Amazon promises to bring it to you on or after June 4th.

Now, the price is high, but you do get a completely unlocked, not tied to any carrier, international version of the SGS III. Plus, chances are that this version will receive updates faster than carrier-branded ones, where the operator takes an extra two or so months to make the update available.
