Yep, and given that for $741 USD you can get it in Switzerland/Germany, there's no way I'm forking out over $800 for it.
Seems that in the netherlands they list it for €590 (us$815)
I always hate it when a device is more expensive in specific regions
mobicity and smoothmobiles.com.au both have them now.
mobicity- $899
smoothmobiles- $895
im not sure whether to get one or not, its a extremly hefty price. i was planning on getting a normal galaxy S again, ( other died, no warranty cause i bought it 2nd hand and the owner is not here no more ) so i was going to get a brand new one
not sure what to do now.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to buy one me thinks - I'm addicted to my SGS and an upgrade will be awesome
Techrific has it for $889

Big bump.
So the Australian release will be around June, you guys going to get it now or what?
If its on the Optus $59 I will, if its on the $79 its too much imo, I'd rather get the Arc
I'm selling my iPhone 4 and will just buy it outright from uk, Australia is just such a ripp off.
I'm half way through my contract with optus so, I sell my iPhone for $700 and the gs2 was $724 so for $24 dollars I have upgraded. to top it of when my contract runs out I'll get the sgs3 lol yayyyyyy
Yeah replacing my Atrix with my SG2 which will hopefully be here by Friday. Ordered from Handtec as i didn't wanna get ripped off by Aus online resellers lol
Hey guys, who's getting their SGSII from where?
How much did/will it cost you (in AU$)
Is it NextG?
Which processor?
NFC?
Anyone here ordered a UK versrion of the sgs2? I take it ill have to get an adapter for the charger considering the sockets are different?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
I bought from Mobicity, $900 (yay for disposable income). It says NextG compatible, no NFC and with the Samsung CPU (not NVIDIA Tegra 2)
hmmm.... I might get one from expansys.... will probably wait until next week and scope out a few other places as well.
I was upset that it won't have NFC because I believe NFC will become common use in everyday life sometime soon.... but after a bit of research I think NFC will be more commonly built into sim cards instead of phones themselves, so it's not so much an issue for me now. Also it's probably not going to hit mainstream until after the London Olympics by which time I'll have a new phone anyway.
handtec, price was AUD $700, i don't care about NFC, it is gonna be switched off constantly anyways, don't think it will get popular soon
Where to buy
Hey guys,
I've been doing some research on where to buy, I'm listing them in cost order, cheapest first. If I've missed out on a site, let me know.
If there is any reason why you wouldn't buy from the cheapest, please let me know.
I've never bought a phone online before and I'm kinda anxious about it.
I've gone as far in the checkout as I can, and prices include shipping to Melbourne, the cheapest option (no more than 7 working days).
Not VAT. Is that correct?
Currency conversions using Google on 4/05.
Unlocked Mobiles £435 $663
Handtec £456 $695
Clove £464 $707
Expansys $720
Mobiciti$914
Smooth Mobiles $924
So the cheapest is from Unlocked Mobiles, and the cheapest Australian store is Expansys.
Which store are you going to buy from, and why?
!!!!!!! I had it all nicely formatted, and the name of each site was a direct link to that website's listing for the SGSII.
But I can't post links.
Spent ages typing it up too...
my DHL online tracking still says Departed Facility in LONDON-HEATHROW - UK, same as 30 hrs ago... hm..... hope i can get it tomorrow

I can't afford to buy outright just now, so I am waiting patiently for it to be released so I can grab it on my plan with Optus! Waiting, Waiting, WAITING!
Well if anyone is really cheap like me then this might help them to justify buying a tablet, expires the 16th.

Boo, only available in the US
Yeeeeyy, Im buying one
Will best buy price match this?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Interesting
Perfect I just purchased a unit from best buy yesterday. Im returning it or see if they will price match the $50 bucks.
Unfortunately they don't price match coupons, only sale prices in store
If this was out when I first purchased my tab, I would have gotten it from Staples rather than BestBuy.
I could have upgraded to the 32GB version for $50 more, in comparison to the 16GB version from BestBuy.

no match
Can anyone confirm that this coupon works? Tried to price match at best buy. They called staples to confirm and staples said it's Not a legit coupon. Doesn't show up on staples website anywhere either.
I will call staples myself to find out if this coupon works,if not staples are full of sh$t.

Staples tabs have HC 3.1. And tab on display has locked bootloader.
I am wondering if all new tabs come with locked bootloader...
All the Tabs have HC 3.1...
And locked boot loaders don't really mean much on the Tab. You can flash CWM, kernels, ROMs, root, etc

I just used this coupon at a Staples today. Sales rep knew exactly what I was talking about when I mentioned it.
anybody that used this coupon at best buy can you show proof of purchase.
Thanks!
BB doesn't take competitor's coupons...
Someone in the transformer forum was able to used the coupon at beat buy.

I guess it just depends on who you talk to. Both BBs I have asked said no, and it's stated in their price-match policy. Give it a try, worst that happens is they say no
Just a quick heads up, and it's not quite as epic as the original firesale, but the 16GB and 32GB HP Touchpad are on woot and sellout woot today for (if I remember correctly) $169 and $209/219 respectively. Refurb condition, but hey for that price, who cares! Hope you all get one (those who wanted it, but missed the original sale). Good luck!
Sent from a Jedi in a Galaxy (S2) far, far away...
they were cheaper when eBay was selling them to Canadians and people in the UK but screwing US customers since their US server died.
Thanks a lot for the heads up man, been waiting for a sale like this for a while
another thing you guys can do is call and see if any aaron's around you have any they have repoed because last time I checked cash price was $70 I've gotten 3 this way.I'll check on the price when I go to work and let you guy's know.
Asus Transformer is much better imo
Do you what the inventory looks like?

16GB sold out

Lol dont know what happened there... Sorry
Good price..... But by the time i import it from us or uk the customs and shipping comes close to 400$ so for the indian's tp is quite expensive...

Hey guys, I'm from Canada and I'm planning to buy a tablet and decided to go with the note because of the multiscreen function and the s pen that could help me in my studies! Anyway my girlfriend parents are going to New Hampshire next week and they said they wouldn't mine buying one for me (obviously I would repay them ).
So I just wanted to know your opinions on either waiting for the note to come in canada (will be available to pre order soon at future shop) or make my gf parents buy one from the US and if so where would be a good place that would have them in stock? I don't want to make them drive everywhere to get it so somewhere not to complicated like a walmart, etc??
Thanks
PS: The sooner I get it, the better it is, I just can't wait anymore!!!!
Sent from my Incredible S using xda app-developers app
I remember driving around everywhere here in Maryland trying to find it when it came out. I could only find it available at Best Buy's, but they were sold out at every location. I tried looking at Office Depot, Staples, Target, and Walmart but the best tablet they were selling was the Tab 10.1 2 or the Nexus 7. I would just check Best Buy online or have one shipped to a store for pickup in NH if they are sold out so they can physically pick it up. Just check shipping times.
Some of these early models have some QC issues like light bleed. You may want to wait and buy it from a retailer who can accept a return if you are unlucky and get a faulty unit.

I got mine from B&H. It's definitely an American company, but it arrived 4 days later (cheapest option) and never seemed to spend any time in customs. The package said that it was from the B&H warehouse... in Etobicoke. I had to pay sales tax, but no duty/customs/import fees.
I'm in Calgary, so 4 days from Ontario is pretty quick! There's no way it could have crossed the border as well.
Anyways, if your girlfriend's parents can't find one in NH, I'd recommend B&H (bhphotovideo.com). I've bought camera stuff from them for years, and I've never had any "surprise" cross-border fees.

I think you guys are missing the point. In Canada the 32 gb will cost you $499. In the US the 16gb is the $499 and the 32gb is $550. So you getting more for your money if you buy it in Canada.

True... I forgot to actually reply to your post when I replied to your post!
The only advantage I can see from ordering from the States is getting the white one, and getting it faster. When I ordered mine in mid-August, Canada wasn't on the horizon. Now that it is though, I might have waited.
On the other hand, I've never come anywhere close to the 16 GB on my Nexus S (it's reading 11 free right now), so I really don't care about the extra space. I do like the white better than the grey, so I'm not kicking myself right now.

Better wait few days so you get better deal
I'm curious what people in other parts of the country are actually paying for their off-contract Sprint S4. Specifically from sites like Craigslist and eBay. Was it new or used? Any extra goodies included? What state? What was the final price? Date of purchase? Any other relevant details?
The purpose of this thread is to help potential buyers determine the actual going rate of the Sprint S4. Please be honest and descriptive about your purchase.
I payed 450, a week after the s4 dropped. Bnib from Craigslist.

Same, $450 from Craigslist. Brand new. No extras beyond what is in the box.

What part of the US are you guys from? $450 seems like a great price! In Portland all of the bnib S4's are still asking $550 and not willing to budge more than $20 or so.
I pulled the trigger on a used one today for the wife. The guy said it was a week old but didn't have a receipt... Regardless it was in flawless shape. It came with all of the original accessories and packaging as well as a flip cover and a 32GB SD card. He was asking $450 and we settled at $400.
good deal! Really only wanted to pay 400... im In south jersey.
