Samsung’s limited edition Olympic themed Galaxy S III has gone on sale today, coincidently timed to arrive alongside the excitement surrounding the country’s first gold medal of the 2012 Olympics. Carphone Warehouse is selling the phone on contracts starting at £28 per month, although that’s for a rather poor TalkMobile SIM that comes with 100 minutes, 100 SMS messages and 100MB of data.
Not a great bundle, but what price Olympic immortality? Here’s what the Olympic S III looks like:
Carphone is also selling the themed Galaxy S III on a SIM-free basis for £499, which is also a bit on the high end for the phone these days.
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but…
The HTC One S is the piggy in the middle of HTC’s 2012 line-up, offering a 4.3″ AMOLED display inside a very slim and stylish aluminium chassis. The end result is a phone that’s very, very slim and stylish.
HTC’s new quad-core monster, the 4.7″ flagship for 2012 that introduces the Tegra 3 processor to mobile phones, updates HTC’s range to Android 4.0 and brings us the supposedly streamlined version 4.0 of HTC’s Sense user interface.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ August 3, 2012Hi Gary.
Any news on your review of the S3? It’s been months and i’ve been patiently waiting but nothing. Have you forgotten about it? Your last review was Panasonic Eluga.
Surely there’s someone who can loan or lend you an S3 for a few days???
Come on bud! No slacking allowed! :D

I’m sure I’d give it a 9/10.
