Im sure everyone is getting their hands on a SGS3...for those kiwi XDA members, blue is basically unavailable...Ordered my 32GB today haha...at Noel Leeming...
Noel Leeming has the 20% off deal for all Vodafone handsets...$839NZD for 16GB and $919NZD for 32GB...cheaper than Ebay offers at the moment! Official New Zealand stock, not parallel imported...Vodafone stores are still taking orders for $1049 for 16GB...a few of the dodgy parallel importers have it for about $1019...not far from New Zealand stock, so you might as well get stock with valid New Zealand warranty...**** Smith has it for $949? from what I have heard...not sure if its New Zealand stock, I suspect parallel imported since **** Smith do not sell Vodafone?
My friend working at a Wellington Vodafone has confirmed that they are out of stock...though I suspect that JB HIFI still have stock as they were unwilling to disclose stock numbers but insisted that stock was still available for purchase lol...
I have heard that some people have managed to get another 5% off $839 at Warehouse Stationary? Basically $797NZD...can anyone confirm this??? sounds wayyyy too good?
cant wait to get my hands on it!!!
16GB White ONLY:
Warehouse Stationary: Not listed on website / have heard some have purchased for $797NZD
**** Smith: $949NZD (confirmed) limited stock (suspect to be Telecom stock)
JB HIFI: $1049NZD (confirmed) Vodafone stock
Noel Leeming: $839NZD (confirmed) Vodafone stock
Vodafone: $1049NZD (confirmed)
parallel importers: $1019~ refer to Pricespy.co.nz (patchy stock...)
The ETA for Blue 32 through Noels and Bond + Bond is mid June, I work at Bond's and ordered the Blue 32 aswell I will update this post as soon as I can confirm we have stock in quantity
Please use the new zealand thread for this, ask the op of it to update with the info you need. Else we end up 20 threads per country and loose track of the important ones..

TATA Docomo started selling HD2 on 15th. They say that HD2 will be sold exclusively by them for 7 days. However I could see that the phone is already listed in Univercell.

HTC has updated their site with the price and availability info.

Univercell Doesnt Have it yet
I ordered through online on 15th Dec in Univercell site. They are saying that they are yet to get the stock and not sure when they will get it. On the other hand in chennai many other stores have HD2 ready to be sold. So call up univercell and enquire about the availability before ordering.

Since I buy for my personal purpose, the customs duty was very less.
It came AED10, which is around Rs.130.
And yes. It was through DHL only and the price I have given is including it.
Tata docomo had a lock in period on the HTC HD2 from December 15th to 21st...they have horrible customer service, who would want to buy a phone from them, specially something so expensive!
from tomorrow onwards, the unlocked versions should turning up, have confirmed with a dealer here in Chennai...
only thing is i am wondering if i can push him to lower the price a bit!
33,638.10 INR here in Switzerland

Officially, it is the latest ROM available from HTC.
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?
I went into my local Vodafone store with a friend who is after one the same as mine and we where told the 16GB version is no longer available in Europe , is this correct?
We tried a Phones4you and they did not even know there was a 16GB version for sale.
On the plus side he said Vodafones version of Froyo 2.2 when it comes out will not have all the Vodafone crap integrated into it this time around.
Paul.
they did have 16gb last week in holland though =/
When I was looking to upgrade through either Orange UK or Phones4u there was no option for the 16gb version (which I really wanted) so guess it's not that readily available

I think the 16GB version is exclusive to Vodafone. Other operators here also sell the SGS but the 8GB (as in the phone stores)
No, there is an unbranded 16GB available for Portugal. I have one that I bought in Holland ( http://www.studentenmobile.nl ). It came with English and Portuguse manuals.
Product code is : GT-I9000HKATPH
Build Number: ECLAIR.XWJM2
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
I rang Samsung Netherlands, and they said that the guarantee is valid in Holland, and everywhere else within the EU for the I9000.
Anyone know the country of origin of the GSII that Newegg.com is selling?
It doesn't look like it's Europe because in the product picture tour it has what looks to be a US travel charger. Other vendors that sell the GSII show European chargers with a US converter added.
Central, South American maybe?
Bump? Talked to Newegg in an email and they replied made in Korea....sigh.....
Sigh? You rather want one made in china? Remember samsung is in korea.
No, i wanted to know where they imported this phone from not where it was actually manufactured.
Get it from Expansys, they should be shipping UK phones now that supply is keeping up with demand. Tell them you want a UK phone when you place the order and you should be fine. If it ends up being something else, they're easy to work with for exchanges too. They'll also ship the phone back to the UK for you should you ever need warranty work whereas the newegg.com phone is sold without a warranty.
I bought mine from overseaselectronics.com and it came with U.S. samsung OEM charger and last but least it's made in china...but the quality of the phone is top notch, I don't think it's a knock offs....Oh...this version of the phone when you first power on the phone it's in different language as a default.
I just got my SG2 from newegg yesterday. I can't tell where it's from. I guess I'll have to do some more reading to find out what the differences are.

Hi all just a question I'm from UK and pre ordered the s8 from vodafone but my question is.
If I've pre ordered the phone and get it 8 days early before they launch it in the shop do i get the phone from vodafone with there stuff on there or do they take so many pre orders first then order them from samsung to deliver straight to customers?
Not sure how this works
from previous experience . I have always found vodaphone phones always come with there own custom firmware not the generic firmware direct from Samsung. so will have vodafones own apps etc and proberly wont get updates as fast because when Samsung delivery a new firmware Vodafone will then customize it with there own things before releasing
Oh well looks like I be flashing it with Odin when I get the chance.
Thx anyway
