Awesome find.

That looks like a good deal, but I always wonder about the warranty (90 days vs. 1 year). I've had to send in 2 of my last 3 smartphones on warranty claims so I worry about this being a good deal.

Typically the good thing about refurbs are whatever the problem was it is now fixed. Puts my mind at ease when I think of it like that lol.

Just got mine in today. Ordered a white model, its in perfect shape. Not a blemish on it. Screen is flawless. Even had all the accessories -- only thing missing is the box.

Same here. My white refurb arrived yesterday in perfect condition. Running CM10 now and loving it.

Went to BB today and talked to the Phone manager guy and he said he hadn't seen/heard of any white ones coming in the warehouse so they could be arriving later on in September. But then again he hadn't even heard of the white/silver one in the first place so I believe him like I believe everything on the internet.
If I got it, it would just be covered up by a case like all my phones have been lol... Happy with good ol' black!

All my phones have been naked. I am super careful with them. Only dropped Inc once and damaged the camera ring.
I hope this means that the pitiful local best buy might actually start carrying some inc2 accessories now.

havent heard of it it, but i can honestly say this is the BEST phone ive ever had, or used:good:
I've had a galaxy note, one x, many iPhones, lumias, and galaxy nexus and I love the stock gs3 over them all so far. The one x screen imo is more real color and I do like that phone still. The note was a beauty but to laggy and large. Nexus camera was poop and iphone needs bigger screen

The GS3 is hands down the best phone period. I just got it a day ago and I have had a LG Thrill, iPhone, and Blackberry and this phone beats all of them hands down. Its not even close.

Today I switched (long time addict) from an iPhone 4S to a brand spanking new Garnet Red Galaxy S III.

I just got my S3 a few days ago. I can't put this damn thing down. I'm just lost in awesomeness 80% of the time.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Had my S3 for a week and a day now. Love it. Upgraded from a Motorola Atrix 4G. Just received the TPU case that i ordered on Amazon yesterday, and made it even better. A little less slippery-ness is nice, and doesn't add much bulk to the phone..... and $6 is just fantastic. Really don't see why people are so obsessed with buying OtterBox's and stuff like that. Yea, cheapy TPU cases may not be the prettiest... or offer the UTMOST protection... but then again... i can't remember the last time i really dropped my phone.
Really not sure if i want to install the builds of CM10 that are floating around... or if i wanna just keep it stock and wait for Samsung's version of JB. Already have mine rooted and CWM installed, though...

Issues with T-Mobile galaxy s3 quality control.

So... I bought my galaxy s3 from tmobile customer service. With a full upgrade I've only paid $ 179 of 16gb.
I've wanted the white one but they were sold out in 16. So I've went ahead and placed a exchange of the 32gb.
The first (white 32gb) had many dust stuck under the sceen... and interfere with the camera as well... so I've called to get me a same but different one that isn't defective this time. (New in box course) now the new one has huge gap on the metal bezel area... I could fit like 5 business card.
So I called again and placed another one...
This time I've told them to put a notation on my account so that the manufacture date is most recent... (both of my defective white phones were made in 7/4/12)
Where as my blue one is perfect...besides the dark pixels.
I really think Samsung's quality control isn't as what they claim to advertise as... I understand that no phones are perfect... but at least do a better job at hiding... lol
So in my opinion I could be getting a bad batch or just unlucky... I will keep you guys updated with my next replacement in white.
Please tell us your experience with similar problems.

No he's not, he's paying for a new product so it shouldn't have any defects or problems. What's the point of a 720p screen if it has dust underneath. My 2 yr old g2 doesn't have any dust whatsoever so why should this.

No ****. How close do you have to have the phone to your face to notice "Dark pixels?"
I wasn't aware that these screen panels could have dust considering the digitizer and screen are fused together. Hmm... :sly:

Mine already has cracks in the bezel, only issue so far. Much better than the Galaxy Nexus screen issues or the first batch of One X ones.

My first one had really weird screen issues (looked like there were fingerprints underneath the screen) but I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary on my second. 32 GB white.

So lets see here. Samsung has probably manufactured what 10 million Galaxy S3's? I would expect some to have issues. Mine has none of these flaws.

The guy shouldn't ***** about it, just exchange the phone. You make millions of phones bound of them a few are going to have flaws... Mass production.. and if you ever worked in quality control you know not EVERY SINGLE product gets checked just a few random ones...

i guess it would be alright if you didn't have a real camera, otherwise i don't see why anyone would bother with this.
Don't buy it. I bought one for my samsung i8910.. Its the worst thing you could ever buy.
I bought it back in 2008.. funny enough I have it on my desk still. There is a black circle when using the camera.
Mine looks exactly the same as the OP's link.

Regarding AT&T insurance and a Note 2

As I was getting out of the car the other day, my phone slipped out of my pocket and hit the concrete, shattering the screen. It's obviously still usable, but annoying. It's a Note 1. I have the AT&T insurance and since I wasn't available for an upgrade for a while, I figured I would just pay the $200 and get a replacement Note.
As I was filling out the form, it verified that I had a Note 1. As I continued to go through the form, it said that I wouldn't be getting a replacement Note 1, but a Note 2. I was pleasantly surprised by this. My question is, to any who have gotten a phone replaced from AT&T, do they tend to send a new phone or a refurbished phone?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Wow...very nice! I've never been through this process, but I assure you, you will love the Note 2. Make sure you get a good case. I have the Ionic Gaurdian for approx $10 from Amazon, its a good case.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Well, if it's as good to me as my Note 1 has been, I'm sure I will.

If its a Insurance claim for a Lost/Stolen/Or Damaged phone you should be getting a Brand New Replacement as if you just bought it from the store. If you were doing a warranty replacement thought you'd get a refurbished unit.

Ah, OK. Thanks for the info.

I had my galaxy s3 replaced by att insurance. As far as I could tell it was brand new with the OEM box and new accessories. Then I upgraded to the note 2 lol

Just had my GN2 replaced under the insurance for damage due to a fall.
I was sent a refurbished unit. It looks 100% new. It is flawless.
Plus they sent it next day shipping which I was thankful for.
Overall it was a pretty smooth and simple process.

I work for AT&T, but not Asurion. But I can assure you that they send out refurbished units.
There are some circumstances that they would send out a new phone, but that is only very rare. But by practice and 99% of the time, it will be refurbished.

Everything that have been sent to me as a replacement, have been refurbish. But it might b something very minor that you can't see why it was refurbish!

Well, I got my replacement from Asurion. Weather it's a refurb or not, I'm not sure, but it looks pristine to me. I just wish they would have given me the opportunity out pick which color phone I wanted. I like the gray, or what ever it's called, but I've had white phones for as long as I can remember.
Can't complain to much though, I was just wanting a replacement for my Note 1 and ended up with a Note 2, so I'm happy.
