Hello guys,
I want to buy the X01HT, but it seems to be out of stock anywhere I ask in Tokyo. I called 5-6 shops and they say it is out. Can anyone help and say where can I find it? If you have any info please share.
Thanks a lot.

you can go to your nearest softbank shop, and ask them to call you when they get x01ht in.
try if you have not gotten one yet.

Well actually they already offered to call me when they get it in one shop, but when I asked when are they expecting to have it they said 2-3 weeks. I just don't want to wait that long. So I am going to check some of the Biccameras or Yodobashis and if they don't have it, then I will be forced to wait.
Thanks anyway for the advices.

i had a world of trouble getting mine as well--calling the softbank shops proved fruitless. i was able to get two of them (one pre dec 02 and one post) and the only place that had 'em in stock was the big yodobashi in akiba so i suggest you try there. also, i'm not sure if you're planning to sign a contract as well but if you just want the phone, you can get them for under 40k on the japan yahoo auction site these days.

i don't recommend getting it from yahoo auction as i doubt that sb will warrant the ones without the tariff contracts. if you don't really care, then that'll certainly be an option.
Thank you guys for all replies.
I got one from Yodobashi in Shinjuku.
It is with the following software:
M 05
S 04
B 06
R 1.14.00.10
G 32.50.7018.00H
D 1.33
Can this one be unlocked using the procedure described earlier in the forum?
Tanks again.

kalintri,
i believe you can't as that should be the new rom that can't be unlocked at the moment. read this thread. there is still a hope that you could at least change its interface to english with the software Asukal is working on for changing mui from japanese to english.

You can't. That's a telco site, only sells locally with telco contract.

Yup, and at this point of time, only this telco has the tie-up with Samsung. Very similar when the Iphone is launched in SNG.
P/S: Our government doesn't encourage exclusive tie-ups on a permanent basis, which is why Iphone was later sold on the other 2 telcos as well.
P/P/S: I don't even know if this is the 16gb or the 8gb model, but then again it comes with 2 free gifts - 1 pair of "Super Junior" concert tickets and a table stand, whatever that is.
Super Junior is a all boy band from korea. I have seen people paying good money just to go to the concert.
I've checked the phone out yesterday. The screen is just awesome but i noticed that the Google Voice Search function is not available in the phone I've tested. There is no mic icon beside the google search box.
It would be a bummer if they have decided to not include the function. Anyone knows if the function has been omitted out in the retail set or that it is only on the set that I've tested on.
Strange, several of the reviews have commented how accurate the voice search was.

To add on, we have rules that doesn't allow SIM locks on phones, so it can be used with any operator. Expect to see many sets sold on the local market as all the girls ditch the sets because they're just interested in seeing Super Junior.
I'm not so sure about the tie-ups, phones like Milestone is still exclusive to SH after so long, as the Cliq and Backflip are exclusive to ST...of course, without sim locks, it really doesn't matter much unless u really want the telco subsidy.
It's the 16gb model. Brochures and launch party states it's only 16gb model sold in SG.

I think they have included it, because I have read that it is pretty accurate on this phone (somewhere...)*.
The new vlingo is pretty neat, though, and looks to be a lot more accurate than the standard Google voice stuff!
I quite like this guy's reviews: http://hemorrdroids.net/
He doesn't have too many, but he usually gives me the information I want to hear, and is concise (which I found a lot of the American review sites aren't!)
Anyway, his vlingo demo impressed me.
*edit: just checked, and gsmarena say the voice search is good on this phone: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9000_galaxy_s-review-478p8.php

Thanks for the links. Yeah I've read the review on GSMarena before testing the phone. That was why I was surprised to not see the microphone icon beside the google search box. Anyway I believe some of the early birds will be receiving their phones tomorrow. Hopefully they can review the phone and maybe confirm any rumours.

Hello !
So I decided to return to the Windows Phone/Mobile land after an hiatus of a few years (yes with the thing from Apple ). After some toughts I would like to buy the Samsung Focus. I'm with Rogers but I would prefer to get an unlocked device if possible.
I try with few hopes the shops (Rogers and Bbest Buy since they got some flyers with it) here in Montreal but it seems that the device will be available only at the end of month or early next one. Expansys got it (can't put links in my post) but even if I got prior good experiences with them my order is pushed back since two weeks ... Rogers.com seems to have it but when I phoned the customers service they said they don't have it even f they recognized that Rogers.com can.
I saw several threads here about Rogers etc. so it must have some fellow Canadians with advices/information ?
Thanks !
Matthieu
I ordered it from rogers.com and it shipped within days.
As far as I know, its ONLINE only until the end of the month.
Thanks ! I will order it on Rogers.com if i don't have a clear answer from Expansys Monday.
When Rogers opened their limited online launch, I placed an order on the second day.
It shipped Friday, and I received it the monday after (got it on the 15th).
You have to be carefull buying unlocked, because of the time issues on Rogers network (ie. texts come in with a timestamp of the past, or future, annoying as ****).
Yes I saw some messages about this problem, but why ? is it affecting only devices not from Rogers ?
sorry for hijacking the thread, i live in chile but i have a friend in canada who is coming back for the holydays.... is it possible for him to buy the phone for 599 without plan, and if so, will it work on my country?
(im not asking about the bands, from what ive read, i think its compatible. what id like to know, if its unlocked or if i have to unlock it myself)
thanks a lot!
Yes he can but before he must unlocked it. Serach for "samsung focus unlock" on ebay.ca. I saw members of this forums used it succesfully.
Yep, the best and only place to get it right now is from Rogers.com... I ordered mine the day it was released and received it on Friday of the same week. UPS and Rogers were great about shipping it out to me, didn't have any hassles that you can usually expect. Enjoy!

Yeap, I canceled my order with Expansys, they can't get their process right (my order went through all statuses the past two weeks).
I tried to order on Rogers.com but I got weird error during the checkout (JSP compilation error, welcome back in 1996 ). I called the Rogers.com support but I need to wait the fix to order it

I became frustrated and ordered one on ebay from at&t. The Canadian launch has been a complete failure in my opinion.

guys, i know its not everyones' rquirement, but i have a doubt which needs to be clarified before i get into trouble....
the thing is, i am importing SGS2 from UK to UAE, & my friend is coming back to India on 15th... i ordered it through him, he said handtec replied to him through mail saying that the SGS2 reaches his address in UAE in 2-5 days.... i hope it does...
my doubt is, as i have read somewhere in this forum that dubai customs rules have changed a bit & they do require some things to be fulfilled before SGS2 parcel reaches UAE on time safely without undue delay at the port of entry in UAE.....
so what i am asking you guys/girls is that if anyone of you have imported SGS2 from UK to UAE(Abudhabi), what are all the things we need to do from our side apart from ordering it & paying the money through credit card ????
i mean, like this......
1. shipment Product's "Country of Origin".
2. Sender should Mention on invoice, its for "Personal use"
3. HS Code (Harmonized System Code) of the products.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
anyone know any rules or regulations to be followed for the safe & early delivery of SGS2 from UK to UAE ???? will they put tax/ask for money at the port of entry in Dubai for this parcel ???? how much time they need to clear this product & allow the courier service to dispatch the parcel to the mailing address ???
i am very much tensed up, because its already costing Rs.33,500/- + conversion rate of dollar to dirahms & if the customs catch hold of this parcel & ask for money i will be definitely screwed.....
pls guide me & give me proper information about how exactly things work at dubai customs office regarding foreign goods entering their country.... especially from UK...
waiting for your positive inputs fellows..... keep them coming pls..... pray for me & help me get my parcel delivered soon & safely ..... once i get this beauty into my hands, i will definitely post the pics & would dedicate my device for the development purpose od SGS2.. thats a promise guys..... i wanna test it to the max & i hope lot of devs would love to hear that......

Buddy did you get your device ? R u happy with it ? Pls post some pics for us......
Ive ordered several devices including 2 in the past six months from the UK to Dubai and all have made it here with no special instructions to sellers or couriers. YMMV.
My SGS2 from Clove is on the way via DHL and I can update once it arrives.
That's promising...... How much did they charge you for currency conversion ? And which credit card did you use to make purchase ??? How accurate they are in terms of delivery dates which they claim it to be delivered ??? How much did you pay for ur sgs2 from clove ?

Sorry.. been too busy playing with my SGSII to check back
1) Currency Conversion is by your Credit Card issuer and not by the seller. Clove charges in £, gets converted to AED by the bank here.
2) Used a Visa card.
3) Very accurate.
4) £470 (440 for device, 30 for delivery via DHL) - no VAT was charged. However the UAE does charge tax on import which came to approximately AED 230 (£38) if I remember correctly - unfortunately can't find my receipt right now.
Others have pointed out that other vendors may have it slightly cheaper and may even deliver slightly faster but my past experiences with Clove have been very good particularly with their responsiveness by e-mail / phone. Thats important to me particularly if I later have to deal with any warranty issues.
Also note as I mentioned above I gave no special instructions to Clove or DHL and did not run into any problems.
Goodluck.
Not sure if anyone else has seen this update yet, but I got it this morning. Unfortunately I thought it would be an old update and I'd see some posts on it, but a search turned up nothing.
My unlocked 920I got it. It was around 150mb and keeps the phone at 5.0.2. Build number is: LRX22G.G920IDVU1AOD3
So maybe it's old and I just happened to get it this morning, but from what I remember it was mostly about stability enhancements...but that seems like a pretty big update for stability. Hopefully someone else can grab a screen shot of the change log. The only issue I had with mine was the occasional random reboot (about once every two days)...and if this update solves it (stability issues ftw), then all good w/ me.
Anyone else get it yet on an unlocked S6?

I have the same device. It's CSC code is TTT meaning it is for Trinidad and Tobago.
I also got this update on my 920I got today.
BTW, I wonder how to get warranty service for these G920I in the US? Samsung USA won't honor the warranty, and I don't have any luck in finding an answer to this.
I'm interested in the warranty also as I bought mine from Breed. Seems like if you purchase this device from a reseller inside the US then Samsung should honor the warranty.

I just made another call to squaretrade. This time another representative told me that the 2-year plan with accident protection can be purchased for eBay sold international version of the S6 as long as proper proof of purchase is submitted. That's something nice to hear from them.
I need to thank you for this. I wouldn't make this second call to squaretrade without your reply!
