You bought a SG2 Glalaxy and you have a Series G. ..
98% of ROM tutorials for customization then you are forbidden!
I would like to know your place of purchase, the store if possible and the country of purchase.
I think it would be useful to know the trend: whether the 9100 is still selling if the 9100G or definitely replace.
if the 9100G takes over then we could find hope that more Dev are turning to the ugly duckling
my S2G white come from "ThePhoneHouse". Bought 15 Mars 2012
In France Samsung has replace the I9100 but it counterpart the I9100G...That for the Unlock of Course.
As for the carriers, you still can find an original I9100 but lock with 12 or 24 months contract

Samsung has replaced I9100 with I9100G in pretty much all (if not all) countries where there is a firmware available:

SamMobile is not accurate. They've got wrong country names for some firmwares.
Samsung ****ed the consumers big time here in India by selling I9100G in I9100 boxes. This is clearly making a fool out of the consumer. I do not hold anything against 9100G. It is equal in everything however it does not have developer support which is very sad.
I9100g is available in India..I ordered i9100 but they delivered i9100g..I bought it for months back..fought with customer care for four months and finally got the replacement two weeks back.. I checked with them and they said that only very few pieces of i9100 are available in India...

Samsung is getting back i9100 at the place of i9100G(i read it somewhere)
I had a i9100G till recently actually had to do many mods myself, even made a custom rom for it but i guess the frustation of very few people working on this was too much. Got it replaced with i9100

it would be great news if it's confirmed!
and even better if Samsung exchanged G against free all classics! but ... we dream
but again I had a classic black and my white G only suffers from a problem: the lack of interest from dev. as far as hardware only benchmaks may find slight differences
I got my I9100 from Tesco, UK. 12 month contract, £20/month, 5k texts, 500 mins, 500 mb.

I was literally needing i9100 just for the amount of support we get from developers all over world...more over this is internationally available model..when I got the g version it was available only in Asian countries and it lacked developer support big time compared to now..but now two weeks with international version tried five different ROM...Ics is not officially released in India but from the day I got this I am in ICS!!!

Samsung Galaxy Note launched in India with a MRP. of Rs.34990/- and will be available everywhere within a weeks time starting today. Also the first 100,000 units will come with a free complimentary leather case worth 2200/-.

Actually I got it from eBay, the seller had decent reviews so I thought what the heck. I couldn't get it ordered from online German retailers since the only one which could ship to India was charging me 290 Euro for shipping. It is set to be shipped today and then delivered within 3-5 business days, hope it goes well.
EDIT : It was 820$(USD) plus 79$ for shipping. I'm not sure what the import duty will be, but I'll deal with it.
good luck with indian customs ... im sure saale bahut jyaada charge karenge tujhko .. all the best !
I only had to pay 14% for my ipad 2, it can't be more than that. Plus I chose fedex which has there own custom clearance department so it gets processed faster.

That's still so expensive..smh.. hope its price is lower when it launches in India.. 40k+ Rs is just too much.. its supposed to be a hybrid of galaxy tab 750 and a galaxy s2.. so ithe price is supposed to be in between.. but since Samsung doesn't want to interfere in the sell of the new galaxy tab, it is costlier.. and besides there is still no other product in d phoblet department to compete with the galaxy note.. so its goin to be expensive here too ,I guess
It's supposed to arrive today

Hey everyone I have been monitoring the price of the Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 daily from late November 2011 and its amazing that this phone has climbed from basically $499.99 to now over $600 on ebay and $559 and $569.
I think the increase in price which is due to its overwhelming demand is a testament to how great the product is but sadly it really prevents me from going in on the experience because I cant afford it right now.
The price trends do leave me wondering how much further the price can go though.
Any thoughts?
Meh nothing compared to ehat happened to the Leo (my fave phone i ever had). Prices in the states are different and ebay isnt a good price guide, I see this for £600 when released now you can get it from carphone whorehouse for about £400 on pre pay
Sent From The Dove From Above
Ok I see your point im not in the US actually but I mostly buy electronics from the US. Can you point me to site or person that sells the i9100 for a good price outside the USA?
As I said id love to join the android party with a i9100 asap but the price is prohibitive for me. I have been using a N95 8gb for 4 years now so im in need of a change.

Hasn't the Thailand floods last year have something to do with this? One of the largest manufacturers of semiconductors used in mobile devices is located there (I think it's Hana Electronics). And I've seen the same trend in other electronic markets. I've been trying to purchase a Canon 60D slr and stores are having a hard time getting them.
The Thailand floods could have something to do with it but im seeing declines in other similar models.
The prices for most of android devices climbed up a bit after release of latest iphone, I see that that release was mostly disappointment for everyone, there's nothing in it that can beat sgs2 or some other android tops. That's why prices gone up. Android has more potential for future.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Maybe this is specific to different countries because on say eBay in Ireland and the UK ive noticed a slight drop in the price, nothing major but you can pick up a SGSII for €370 if you search and if you get lucky on fleabay you may even get it cheaper.

This is also true, despite the release of the Galaxy Nexus it still doesn't beat this phone, no micro SD card facility was a shocking emission, the Galaxy Note whilst a serious piece of kit is just far too big for most people for a phone, the size of this phone is perfect even slightly bigger but it the Galaxy S3 was as big as the Note i wouldn't buy it but i don't think it will be.
got it right on. There is not a single android phone that runs as smoothly as the sgs2-especially out of the box. I have been due for an upgrade for a while and just dont want to use it just yet. As far as the Nexus, had it for a day and promptly gave it back. I dont care what anyone says, its laggy as hell if you're coming from the exynos sgs2.
I bought my i9100 for 529.99 @ ebay unlocked tho
I use it without any problem, I'm from Ecuador.
In Ireland you can pick one up for under 350€.I got mine brand new for 340 and unlocked it myself , saved myself 300 euro by not going to a shop.

Bought mine for $3900 HKD a few months ago, dropped to $3800 or even more right now.
$3900 HKD = $502USD
$1USD = $7.8HKD
Good 'nuf because I sold my iPhone 4 for $3200HKD and added $700HKD for the SGS2.
I9100 model has very high demand which Samsung cannot meet, hence they are replacing it with slightly different I9100G model. Due to this the proce of I9100 has increased. Atleast thats the case here in India. You no longer spot I9100 here, only I9100G.
i bought mine for 400€ in an online shop from the netherlands in december, i also recently noticed the price rose to 440€ already in a month!

Yes thats true. even here in malaysia. about rm100 more. U need to know the guy in order to get it and if u do, it'll be an open box.
I still went ahead with the "G" and never looked back on this decision.
Prices are actually going down here.
Even in local shops, the S2 goes for 435,-€ at the moment, stock, sealed, unlocked.
Saw this:
$900.00!
Yesterday, we told you that US Cellular and Samsung India are accepting pre-orders for the Galaxy Note 2 and today were made public the release dates of Note 2 for several European countries. It seems like Europe will get the upcoming Samsung sensation phone first and you should try to find more info at your local dealers to find out if you can pre-order it.
Samsung says that it will start shipping the Note 2 ‘phablet’ starting with September 27 and the first country that will get it, is Germany. However, almost all European countries will receive the device in weeks 40 and 41 of 2012. It will be released with the latest Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean firmware and it comes in two different colors, Titan Gray and Marble White. You should check web sites of your local dealers and see if they are accepting pre-orders for Note 2.
The release dates for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 in Europe are these:
Germany – 27th of September.
Italy – 28th of September.
Netherlands, France and UK – October 1st and 2nd.
All other countries in the EU should get the device around the same dates. The device will pack a 5.5 inch 720p HD Super AMOLED display, an 8MP camera, 1.6 Exynos quad-core CPU, Premium Suite for Note, S Pen stylus, Corning Gorilla Glass 2 and the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean OS.
The pricing of this smartphone-tablet device starts from 700 Euro, but it might differ from country to country. Also, Samsung said that they expect to sell at least twenty million units of the Note 2, but I personally think that that number is a little out of reach seeing that numerous phone manufacturers are getting ready to launch new devices in Q4 2012.
The Titanium Grey and Marble White are the available colors, just like the ones used for the Samsung Galaxy S3. If you like big screen devices and you take into consideration the specs of Note 2, then this device is a must-buy and you shouldn’t hesitate to purchase it, even if the pricing is around 700 Euro or $900. Tell us in comments that you think about Samsung’s new Note 2 device and whether you think that it will become an instant success or not.

price is high, GPU is old....
hope HTC will release a phablet soon (im buying only htc, samsung and sony. samsung is expensive and sony wont release a phablet..).
~ 2 more weeks and my suffering will be over (on a Nokia N97 temporary cuz my original note died on me )
The reason the price is so high is because it includes the VAT (value added tax)
For those outside Europe, the price should be about $150 lower.

beside tht is it the right time to order Note 2 coz I purchased galaxy SIII as soon as it was launched for 42500/- it went down to 37500/- within a month....

Look mate. Every gadget ever produced will get beaten by something better. So there is nothing future proof. S3 was in a lot of demand just like the note2 is now so sellers were making a lot of premium. Once the demand settled it got to its actual price. I expect the same to happen with note 2. I think if u will buy it on the day it becomes available you will be paying atleast 3000 more than the price after 30 days of launch. But then i guess thats the price of being some of the 1st people to have it.
So if you want the best device atm, buy the note2. If you want something good the future, i am afraid yoh will just keep waiting.
Hope that helps.
Cheers!!!

galaxy s3 is still future proof..there is no app/game out yet that will work on note 2 and not on galaxy s3 because of more ram or faster processor
prices will go down if you wait more...s3 16gb is available for 33-34K now..
so the decision to go for it now..is again up to you..can you wait couple of months to get the fastest mobile on the planet just for a few thousand rs. less ..i know i cant

The problem with the SIII is its RAM is always running out of memory...
I use a lot of apps as well as auto...so my RAM always "NETIME OF THE DAY" is out of memory....
It's like i only get around 100MB of RAM free n phone hangs a lot during scroll playing videos etc...

As the price has fallen down to 33000/- I have a 4 months used SGSIII n its getting sold out for 28000/-
I went to a Samsung store y'day in Kothrud, Pune for having a look at SGN2.
He did not have and said it'll come in an hr.
Price of S3 has droppoed to 32,400 n he said SGN2 will be smwhr betn 35-40k...
He also added, i'll have to book SGN2 and deliveries will start from 5th Oct.
M waiting for exact price and will then buy...
Flipkart is too still showing it as a "pre-order". My guess is that they would be one of the first to get units.....Damm, the wait is killing....
If I call my neighborhood retailer again, he will probably think I am really desperate and hike up his price to me....
I had played around with a white GN2 yesterday and it's awesome. No multi-windows support but that Samsung has clarified would be available as an update soon.
In Delhi deliveries are going to start by today late evening according to the same dealer with most dealers getting stocks today. The best price quoted to me was 39,000 without the bluetooth headset, which I really don't care about. However, the dealer wants an advance in the morning today for delivery in evening. He also has no clue whether he will get both the colors or just white initially.
Though I was very excited about the device, I have decided to wait till the end of this month before I get the device for a few reasons.
1. Expected price drop. There a good rumors that this phone would be priced lower soon, around 37,500, which is the price a few readers on this forum got as well. A site called uniquekart.com already quotes this price.
2. eBay Diwali Offer. There is no hint of eBay diwali offer yet but if I am buying this expensive phone, I can wait a bit. Most likely eBay will give a free 1TB hard disk as a free gift, but hey that's great.
3. EMI. Dealer currently was offering only 6 interest free EMIs, though the VP clearly mentioned 9 months.
4. Other Diwali offers. Samsung is expected to launch diwali offers.
5. Lack of accessories. Buying now means you will not be able to get any accessories including basics like scratchguards.

I am tempted. Very tempted to buy. It's also likely that if I visit the dealer again and he has stock I would probably too. But, I have done this in the past and I am just going to use my head a bit better this time.
I am not waiting till Diwali. Just till the offers start around 15th of this month maybe 20th. Pre-orders are anyways shipping after 8th. So, two weeks perhaps. A free 1TB HD worth 5k is not a bad deal. Even now, you could pre-order on ebay with a free Asha phone worth 4K, which you could gift to someone if you want.
Recently I've been a frustrated Samsung UK underling, whom was unable to get any Note 10.1(2014) pricing or availability info internally.
Hence, I've been following threads in this forum in the hope of some info.
However, through a stroke of good fortune I met the Tablet Buyer of a Leading UK High Street Retailer...
The Note 10.1 (2014) 16GB WIFI only device will be priced at £479
The device will be available in approximately 2 weeks.
The buyer didn't know the price of the LTE model, which would suggest that the LTE model may not be available within a similar time frame.
Also the Tab3 LTE models will be available (Sim-Free) at the end of October priced with £100- £120 premium over the WIFI only models.
Hope this info eases a few minds!!!
Many thanks for all the great posts
all the best...
A definite pass from me then

Damn so we're looking at around £530 for 32 gb. too dear for me
WTF
Why are we always being ripped off here in the UK? Gotta buy them in the US then.
Tesco Hudl perhaps.
.
I don't care what components and specs are inside this thing. It should not be priced more than an ipad if it is still made of cheap plastic and looks like it was designed by a graduate.
Should be around £350.
Im not buying this out of principle despite being a millionaire and someone who just lost many many times over this amount in a poker game last night.
The Note 8 pricing was a complete joke but this isn't too far behind.
I don't understand why it is much more expensive than the US. $550 converted in £ with 20% extra for VAT makes £400 not £479.

Ok millionaire, can you give me £530? I swear it's not to buy me a 2014 GNote 10.1! Pretty please?
£479 = $775 for a 16 GB WiFi only device. Please tell me this is a joke.

I haven't yet, read a few reviews that have put me off. If it's not released here by the 14th, I'm going to take the risk.
I have received a confirmation from a major retailer here in Greece that it will be available next week. They told me that they have plenty of stock already.

Did you ask about the lte version and the prices ? btw which retailer ?
Well here in Sweden it is expected to be £550 for the wifi-only 16gb model. You do the math...
Wow, why is it so much more for other nations compared to the US?
