“Expected Release Date 01/01/1970”

Two words… TIME SHARE TRAVEL!!!

But seriously.

It appears from what I’ve found so far, that MobiCity have a pretty good deal on their 4G Galaxy S4. A little ambiguous as to when they are going to start shipping them. The i9500 (3G version) should start shipping today I think? But the i9505 might not move for an extra week or so? ( their site did say something only last night about the 6th of May, which they have removed today from the listing..)
EDIT: Okay so they have Expected Release Date for the i9500 on MobiCity for the 6th of May. No telling for the i9505 though.

So from the 3 online retailers I have been scoping out, heres the prices, but then the catches:

Kogan – $799 for the i9500 outright & unlocked. However there are no stated shipping prices yet. If he wants to hold his claims of being the cheapest, he will basically have to do free shipping, otherwise his shipping “could” be about $20, and then again, when will he ship?

Shoppingsquare.com.au – $795 – By far ( well.. 4 bucks anyway..) the lowest base price.. The catch? $38.50 in shipping….. But Hey, at least you get to choose a colour with them! Black, or White? Hang on.. Are those even colours…? note that Kogan has no option for white phones as of yet (probably because they know… who gives a F**K about white???)

MobiCity – $799 + $19 postage for the i9500, and $829 + $19 postage for the i9505. You also get to choose your colour tone!!!
It just appears we will have to wait till at least the 6th of May for the i9500 to ship, and then still unsure as to when the i9505 will begin to move… If you can delay your instant gratification just a little while longer…. Hang on for a week, and save yourself a few bucks!!

So for an extra $30 with MobiCity, you get the i9505, which is the variant with the faster processor. It appears the 3G versions are the one with the slower processor.

So obviously MobiCity is my bias. I was going to go with Kogan in the first place, but their post sale customer service doesn’t get the best wrap from what I hear.. I will still contact MobiCity themselves and see if indeed they are contactable.

So, quickly:

Galaxy S4 3G

$799.00 with Kogan and an unknown shipping extra -i9500
$818.00 with MobiCity inc/ postage -i9500 EDIT: They say its INSTOCK on their website
$833.95 with ShoppingSquare.com.au inc/ postage -i9500

Galaxy S4 4G

$848.00 with MobiCity inc/ postage -i9505 EDIT: THey say this ones still on PREORDER

So really. At these high release prices, might as well fork out the extra $30 and go 4G with the “better” processor.
Keep in mind the availabilty of 4G in your area ( im about 5km out of range where I live), and how long you think you will be living with this phone, the extra $30 could be your first months worth of prepaid credit.. But hey, if your willing to throw away this much money on a phablet, whats $30?

Other things you could do with this amount of money:

*Buy a .22 pistol on the black market
*Spend 4 hours with a prostitute
*Returf Shads back and front yards
*Buy a paddybasher, run it into the ground, before putting a block on the accelerator, jumping out the door, and watching it plunge off of Echo Point.
*Investing in Gold Bullion
*Visiting New Zealand and hassling Micro & Somtin and drinking all of their Beer.
*Buy two Galaxy S3s
*Be a Pizza Delivery Guy. Punt $600 of it on the Hookers. Win it back, and blow $1200 on a nondescript murmur….. ( I still dunno what he blew the $1200 on…)
*Goto TAFE and get an Education for 6 months.
*Feed Curtis’ family for 80 days
