Samsung’s Galaxy S III pre-order price dropping

Samsung’s Galaxy S III continues to gather pre-order pace ahead of its official release at the end of the month, with more retailers gleefully accepting cash from early adopters. The price of the quadcore Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone continues to dip, too, with unlocked pre-orders slipping under the £500 ($806) mark, SlashGear reports.

Shipments in the UK are set to begin on May 30, just three weeks away, and a day after European sales kick off. Retailers began offering pre-orders almost as soon as the Galaxy S III was revealed at Samsung’s London “Unpacked 2012″ event last week, at around £550 (though that’s since dropped at some retailers to around £515).
