Even before the pre-bookings have started, it was allover the net that S3 will be priced around 40k

They want to make cash on, over-enthusiastic fools who will pay anything to get their hands on it. Once it settles down, the prices should come down within first few weeks.

Isn't quad core phones are costlier? like HTC One X priced around 37k. I guess for the specs it sound OK. (I am not rich to afford one and just giving my view).

After few weeks, prices will go down? thats what happen with all these high end phones...

I bought my SGS2 after three weeks of release on eBay. After all the coupons I ended up paying 25.5K for it when it was selling at 30K

Similar scenes might repeat with the SGS3.

Thank god i bought S2 on its release and it is more than enough. Also we have XDA to port all software related things to S2 :-D

The pre-order amount is non refundable I guess

It was rumored to be around 38K and if it 43K then still 5K more..

I was not the Idiot to pre-book without knowing actual price. ..

You can't cancel pre order(you can if you don't mind loosing your money).. in fact if you don't buy within three days of launch you coupon for free gift is invalid..

Htc one x is available around 34-35K right?

Off Topic : how do u guys get coupons just like that -ve results for me always

One X is way to go in that case or wait for few weeks for price drop its just MRP right?

It was a 10% no limits coupon, which was like ~ 3K discount and I got a free 1TB HDD for the deal. So effective price was ~25.5K after I sold the HDD

Just as we speak, if anyone was observing Samsung India eStore, the price dropped from 43.1K to 42.5K already

Local price in stores for S2 was 32k during launch. Found a store which sold it for 28.7k @ launch itself. So i think it is possible to get it for ~38k in same shop

^^ oh wow so it ll be around ~36k in that shop

IMO 36k is good pricing with all those features right out of the box

^IMO it should cost below 35k after couple of weeks.

Great job by Samsung overpricing it. But yeah launch prices always look very high. Most cases they come down.
