The Samsung Galaxy SIII may be on its way to the market but if you're hoping to land your hands on the pebble blue version, it looks like you're up for a major disappointment. It has recently been reported that the company will be delaying the color option due to some unknown issues; Samsung was reported to have disposed of approximately 600,000 rear casings for the phone. Online retailers outside of Malaysia have emailed their pre-order customers, informing them that Samsung has delayed all shipments of the blue options.
"Dear customer, Thank you ordered a Samsung Galaxy SIII Blue Pebble of us. We are sorry to announce that we will not deliver it on release date, which is on 29/5. This is because the supplier has suddenly stopped all deliveries of the blue mobile. This applies to all retailers and operators in Scandinavia, and is not something that only affects CDON.COM . We have tried to maintain a dialogue with the Samsung, but without success. Samsung says that the preliminary shipping date is week 22, but this is unfortunately not something that we are yet to confirm. CDON.COM will compensate all affected customers by sending out a free coupon for the license to Samsung Navigator (value of 599 €). We would again like to emphasize that there are some blue models to Scandinavia before the release, nor any dealer or any operator. We apologize for the inconvenience. Sincerely CDON.CO"
Of course, if you've pre-ordered with DiGi or have registered your interest with Celcom, you would notice that the only color option is Marble White so no issues with those, thankfully. I know white is always a favourable choice but it's getting so common, just when I was hoping for something different, it gets delayed. Are you disappointed with the delay of the blue option?
