The Samsung Galaxy S III is due in the shops on 30 May, but where is the best place to buy it, who has the best deals, and what's the best way to get hold of what many believe will be the Android phone to have this year?

Here is where you can get it in the UK.

Phones 4u

Available for Pre-order right now, Phones 4u is promising that all pre-order customers will receive an exclusive "premium accessory bundle" courtesy of Phones 4u and Samsung, worth more than £50. Phones 4u won't currently say what that bundle consists of, but we suspect it will be cases and accessories for your shiny new phone. The phone will be available free on contract from £36 a month on various networks.

Carphone Warehouse

As at Phones 4u, you'll be able to buy the handset on Vodafone, Orange, O2, T-Mobile and Three from Carphone Warehouse for free on a selection of tariffs from £36 per month.

The first 1,000 customers to place pay-monthly pre-orders online and on the phone (via the Carphone Warehouse call centre) will receive a FREE 10" Samsung Galaxy Tab (worth at least £399), InvisibleSHIELD screen protector (RRP £14.99) and in-car micro USB charger (RRP £14.99) – a combined value of £428.98.

All other customers who pre-order a device will receive a free Sandisk 32GB micro SD memory card (RRP normally £29.99), Invisishield Screen Protector (RRP £14.99) and in-car micro USB charger (RRP 14.99) –a combined value of £59.97.

The addition of the Sandisk memory card will bring the combined memory capacity of the device to a massive 48GB, making it unlikely that even the most active users will be short on space to store their videos, pictures, music and favourite apps.

Sadly Carphone Warehouse pre-orders are available on new subscriptions only and not on upgrades.
