DiGi Takes Down Galaxy S III ROI Page, Says it “Wasn’t Supposed to Be Public”

The DiGi Samsung Galaxy S III registration of interested page has been brought down just hours after it was discovered. A DiGi rep tells us via Twitter that the site “wasn’t supposed to be public” but didn’t explain why the site was put up in the first place.

Considering that the Galaxy S III is an eagerly anticipated device by a considerable number of gadget junkies here in Malaysia, it is reasonable to assume that a fair number of people have registered their interest on the page. Now that the site is down, we’re pretty sure most will ask what happens to to their registrations? Are the registrations still valid? We’ve presented this question to DiGi and will post an update when we get a response.

In any case, we don’t think the site will be down for long and it should be back up in a few days, probably sometime next week. What’s interesting is that with DiGi’s online store it’s a safe bet that those who registered with DiGi have a high likelihood of getting the Galaxy S III probably a little earlier than the rest — in the morning of the device launch day perhaps.

Also we expect Celcom, Maxis and event U Mobile to start making their Galaxy S III launch plans known to the public in the coming weeks as well so stay tuned.
