Samsung Galaxy Tab ban lifted in Europe - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

Turns out the German court only has jurisdiction in Germany and cannot ban the Tab throughout the EU.
Can the German court bumble this any more than it already has? All my life I had Germany as the country that paid attention to details and precision. That image has certainly been shattered in the last few weeks!

Good to hear, although it doesn't really mean anything to me since I don't live there.

u should be able to get it end of the month in europe, the devices should be released in asia by the end of the year if everything goes smoothly, i believe HTC should have released it in europe by then
I sent several mails to Expansys UK and they told me:
Dear Sir,
The handset Only Price: £449.95 (382.94 exc.)
Shipping costs 13.95 ukp. We will accept CC or bank transfer as the payment method.

If they ship to Spain you will have to pay UK VAT. Both the UK and Spain are part of the European Union.

You might indeed get a good deal, since for export the 16% German VAT is deducted, but of course you pay shipping and Singapore VAT. During my Asian travels for the last two years I noticed that prices in Germany are much better than in Asia, wonder why - these boys toys are made in your backyard
Unfortunately this respected online shop of a large trader only sells within Europe, at 501,12 Euro incl. VAT: http://www.handyattacke.de/cgi/websale6.cgi?shopid=etronixx&subshopid=attacke
But even Amazon Germany is not far behind, at 519 euros: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000JWEAL4/idealode-21/ref=nosim
My local shop promised to match their price, in case I buy this baby...
I made a cancellaton, why? simple, I ordered last saturday and today I don't have the device. I made a call phone to Portugal and they told me the device is in Portugal yet. So, tomorrow I'll make a trip and at the end of the week end and international trip for long term.
Bye, bye Trinity.!!!! I'm so furious.
>lucas0511 - hehehe don't understand german at all so will give the website a pass thanks anyway!!! but although the price is quite a figure in my country i can have a gurantee in which i would not have if i import from overseas, if the set gets damaged along the way to Singapore it will be a major headache for me already hahaha so will stick to buying the set in SIngapore instead!!!
Where to buy the Trinity in the UK
Hi Guys just to let you know that I popped into Inkino in Central London and they have the whole HTC range. Picked up the Trinity. Good thing is that I was able to try it out and get a feel for the unit. Something that the web experience lacks! What also amazed me was that the also keep the Dell x51v and the Fujitsu Siemens n560 and T830. Thought that I would would just mention this as I thought that these units were only available for purchase on the web. Inkino are at www.inkino.co.uk and their store address is 243 Tottenham Court Road, London, W1T 7QS. What also is useful is that they have a Russian speaker (useful for me!) Their other staff include fluent Chinese and Spanish speakers. I have become a fan of shopping in a shop again! Hope this is useful for anyone struggling to find the Trinity as I know some online sellers had run out of stock.

Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 shopping in store? Austria, Hungary, Germany ...where?

Hello,
In my country (Serbia) this phone will show up for maybe 2-3 months or later. I can't order online because importing is too complicated (radio frequency etc..blah blah..) so I would like to buy this phone somewhere in Hungary or Austria. I will go on trip for few days from 3 july. Can anyone tell me is there any store in Austria (can't read germany) like vodaphone shop or something to buy this phone. I will visit Austria and Hungary. If there any place please let me know.
I made contact to this website
http://www.zippzarmobile.hu/
and they told me for 20 days they will have it but I need before that because I will be on trip before that.
Why is importing difficult? Amazon.de has it already in stock, sells it for 484,97€ (the 8gb version) and it uses the same frequencies as everywhere else in Europe. They charge 6€ for shipping to non-EU european countries, which includes Serbia. If you have difficulties navigating the amazon.de page, use www .amazon.co.uk as a guide, they look the same.
To look for stores in Vienna, see: geizhals.at/a535151. html. currently, nobody has it in stock yet. I bought it last week at an A1 outlet, but they only have branded versions.
In Hungary, i have also seen some ads, like www .220volt.hu/Samsung+GT-i9000+Galaxy+S+8GB , but it is expensive, almost 100€ more than in Germany or Austria. This was the same with the HTC HD2 back in 2009. It was available in Budapest some weeks before in Vienna, I even went by the store, but it was way too expensive to not wait for one or two weeks longer.
So I would recommend to use amazon.de. They have very good customer service if the device should turn out to be faulty and ship very fast. If mail order is really not possible, check out the geizhals.at/ a535151.html page for Austrian shops: if any of them turns green, it means, that they have it in stock.
importing is very difficult because they are asking me for some document from radio regulatory agency + for new products you need to make some test in some special facility + will cost me like 400euros....for 2 phones.
Anyway I ordering online a lot ...but when you order something with radio frequency that is ....really hard.
I will consider this Hungary. Thank you!!!
I bought it with 381GBP at HandTec UK
I would say it depends on when you will be in Austria. At the moment the phone is just launching, so most stores handle their pre-orders first. Here in Germany more and more shops claim it "in stock" so things seem to relax. But for now I can't find a shop in Austria. Are you in Austria before or after July, 3rd?

7.7 Europe Wide Ban, but UK says no.

There is something fundamentally wrong with the legal system in Europe where the UK courts agree to allow the 7.7 to be sold and it is over-ruled by a German court which bans it throughout Europe.What do retailers in the UK do now, will they follow the UK or German Court? It is still being sold by Amazon UK.

weird update politics from samsung...

So after a quick look at sammobile.com I'm really confused.
In the past 4-5 month there have been several releases of firmwares for our note 10.1 2014 p600:
-3 firmwares for Trinidad and Tobago
-3 releases for Chile
-2 for Hong Kong, Peru, Taiwan, Uruguay
-1 for Mexico and 1 for Spain.
I really don't get it why Samsung is fine tuning the os for those countries while there haven't been a KitKat release in others. Yes I know it's no problem to install a firmware from another country or a custom Rom based on KitKat (that's what I'm using since half a year) but I just don't get it. Did they sell a lot more tablets in those countries? Are they "testing" it there? Do they just roll a dice? Where is the logic behind this, it makes absolutely no sense to me.
I'm really happy with my tablet and it's running great with xKat custom Rom but this is really bugging me and the tablet isn't even on the market for a full year!
Any insight is appreciated.
Simple answer ... Samsung have flooded the market like crazy, they have released about 20+ tablets alone since our Note 2014 was released and now they simply can't keep up.
It is a really great device but Samsung are loosing the plot a little.
No offence to anyone from Trinidad and Tobago but seriously!! Yet still no KitKat in UK apart from the chocolate bars.
Germany here. Seems like it's getting closer. Today I saw a Switzerland release on Sammobile. I think it's the first 4.4 release for Switzerland which fills me with hope, that Germany is not abandoned as well.
I really hate Samsung for letting me wait this long. On the other hand there is not much choice if a stylus is what you need. I'm also going to buy a Note 4 in a view weeks and I already know that I'll hate Samsung even more after I'll have it.

Haha why torture yourself with Samsung again but yeah your right ... when it comes to a stylus tablet or phone cant compete with Samsung at the minute.
My hope is that by the time I upgrade (maybe in 2-3 years time) there will be another Stylus tablet out.

No mmWave on German ultra models

Just confirmed from German Samsung support. They didn't put in the antennas because "there's no mmWave in Germany at the moment".. But there's going to be later this year. Sigh
Probably not only the German ones - Korea also doesn't have them.
would go to buy anohter phone or first accuse Samsung for gone fraud
