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

Hello everyone,since xperia arc will soon be in market. Anyone know how much is this beautiful gadget? And.... is this Arc really works like advertised?
thanks.
GN Multimedia - X10i
Already on the release date topic there are prices mentioned but in Holland it will be 480 euro according to the website of my provider.
if it is really working as advertised...i hope I will find out within a month but the lucky ones who already tested the arc where quite happy with it....
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
O.I see. Thanks for the information. But still wait for the products in my country. Hope it will come soon.
GN Multimedia - X10i
Well, 480 euro seems like a bargain.
www.hi.nl is my provider...
Even stronger, I renewed my contract and get one for free. Which is quite common in The Netherlands. Well, I don't complain...

I just pre-ordered it on Amazon.de, including shipping is 462 Euro. At this point I think it is an acceptable price.
Actually they dropped it quite a lot from 549Euro it was until yesterday, perhaps they are expecting to have stock of it soon and are trying to have it sold out.
I placed my pre-order for €509. I could find it slightly cheaper at some other webshops, but I'll gladly pay a little more to get it from a store I know can be trusted!
If I may suggest,may be price around $350-$400 will be better. Hohoho.... it will acceptable,because no front camera and 3g video call feature.
GN Multimedia - X10i
Sony Ericsson really doesn't lower prices because a video call camera is missing, hardly anyone in their target group uses 3G video calls!
Amazon.de can be trusted, it's reliable and almost always has the best prices from all the Amazon shops.

2-3 days, 6€ plus 0.5€/Kg
for Italy is 5-9 days and same price
I'm actually thinking about it. I'd like it for the camera but maybe it has low memory, my X10 mini keeps "complaining" about it and I'd prefer something as 512 mb .
Or maybe I'll simply wait and see if there is enough interest here on xda
Edit: wrong price
What does 512mb memory has to do when there is apps2sd. Or do i miss something?

Maybe I was the one to miss something but I got some problems typically connected with low memory: launcher pro reloading, handcent totally laggy with few threads, ui lag when I make a phone call. I'm relatively new to app2sd. I still think that on such a phone they could put a standard 512 ram, my mini was 220 €.
It's the most interesting phone for me with the Xperia Neo and I think that Sony already received a lot of bad opinions with their decision to drop android development for the "old" Xperia family, hopefully they won't do the same mistake twice.
Still not sure when arc will be released in indonesia.waiting.....

I wish I had a 9020 instead of my 9023 I love amoled
I am wondering if it will be AMOLED.
I like it but am wondering if it's worth it over my Xperia Arc S?
Well on the link it advertises that it has a 4" Super AMOLED touchscreen so it should be.
Aye but I know Vodafone have been selling them as a S-LCD.

Yes; this Nexus S was £199 and has the AMOLED.
Wow I might pick up one of these if it's amoled.
I'm wondering do you think this phone will last me for two years?
I'm kinda thinking I'll regret not getting a dual core phone later down the line.
I'm thinking maybe I should get a 2nd hand sensation, but the slcd really puts me off.

I'm thinking of selling my Desire for £85, buying this for £200, then in the summer selling the Nexus S for £80ish i hope.
So my question, how big of a step up is this from the Desire? Worth the small hassle to get it for 6 months?
I bought one earlier on today (26/12/2011) and it is indeed a 9020T (The AMOLED one)
It came with 2.3.1 on it, but it didn't want to update OTA, so I had to install the updates from a thread somewhere around here on it.
Glad another friend of mine pointed them out to me, they're an absolute steal!
Same, picked up one today.
Very happy with it.

If it says sim free then why are they shipping the i9020t. Just curious. I think they are out of stock also. Is the 199 euro =259 American ?

Got one as well, flashed it to 4.0.3 already, so much faster than my Xperia Arc S
yeah i picked one up today aswell, lovely AMOLED and a bloody nice phone aswell quite frankly, mine also came with 2.3.1 and doesn't want to do any OTA updates aswell.
I'm actually in two minds about flashing to 4.0.3, since some people have reported some battery issues with ICS
I'm popping down to my local carphone warehouse today.
Fingers crossed.

The 9020t is also known as the 9020 which is the SIM free SAMOLED version originally sold in the UK through CPW. The 900/1700/2100MHz UMTS bands are used by all the major networks here in the UK. The phones aren't T-Mobile branded in any way.
yeah it is the i9020 as its the only official one in UK and I'm hoping it lasts until at least the 5th next month as otherwise I will have to buy the i9023 from amazon....

No. It doesn't support AWS and it doesn't support Band IV LTE. The ZL will at least to the LTE side of things. With T-Mobile you have to be pretty careful as their network is quite different to most.

Sony Mobile Korea is not releasing any news about Xperia Z.
I have emailed them but they say " We cannot tell anything about it because it is not release " everytime...
Considering to buy my phone from internet. Can you please suggest me a trustable site with international delievery? Thanks
Hope the price to drop on April because my contact with my carrier ends on April
Do you think Oneplus One will be jacked up in price as they do with all other devices to the point that the price is no longer an advantage? I think Oneplus One will probably cost more than Nexus devices in Australia due to additional GST and demand.
They'll Jack it up, for whatever reason Lol
I reckon it will start at $400+ here unfortunately

IMO, it's pretty good.. Previously using iPhone 5.. Went to school with 100% came home with about 60%.. and that's just a two hour lecture.. with about 1 hour bus ride in total..

Personally, I'm getting mine sent to one of my dev friends in America. But you can use a mail forwarding company like Shipito to get it here. I ordered mine (64gb) yesterday, and it ended up costing me $400AUD including standard shipping to the States. The price is a bit inflated due to PayPal's ridiculous conversation rate, which was $0.90 instead of the $0.93 it should have been. On top of that I still need to get it shipped from Illinois to Melbourne, so all up I'm probably looking at anywhere between $430 to $450 I think.
Anyways, hi guys, ours nice to see an Australian thread here.

@gerardo66 - not sure what the problem is for you there. The only physical difference is the Chinese one doesn't have CyanogenMod stamped on the back.
The 4G band difference doesn't matter over here, because the 700MHz band in the international version doesn't work here anyway.
