I was one of the 1000 lucky preorders that will receive a free galaxy tab wifi only 16GB.
The question is, do I keep it or sell it and buy something cheaper.
I love Samsung but its quite expensive.
I have a galaxy s2 at the moment

Is it a galaxy tab or galaxy tab 10.1? If it is the 10.1, you're crazy lucky and that's a promotion I'm sorry I missed. If it's just the "galaxy tab" (and I suspect it is) it's worth about $100 on craigslist. Keep it if you want an e-reader, or sell it and buy a real tablet.
***edit: I just looked up the S3 (not the promotion, I don't see any sign of that existing). If you can afford $900 for a phone pre-order, why are you even worried about it?
Well, not harm doing either way, you can keep it as a spare, or a "toy"
I have 2 galaxy tab 7, still playing with it
Its the 10.1, and I love the phone but it was a big decision upgrading. It was carphone warehouse UK that did the offer btw.
well, then i suggest u keep it, u might not know if it will come in handy someday later
how...
how did you know you are going to recive the tab did u get a email or something as i also preorded it when the offer was still showing about 4 hours after launch and i have not had a notification about it ..

How is it "quite expensive if it was free ?
Wish we had a deal like that here in the Netherlands.

They sent me a confirmation text 2/3 days later.
And its expensive because I could sell it for £300+ and get a cheaper 10 inch tablet.
But do I want to loose the awesomeness of the galaxy tab?

It is definite a nice promotion that they are giving you a tablet. Good luck and have some fun with it
posting now from my free 10.1 tab...... And its brilliant
cool~~too bad there isn't such sweet deals at where I am...
very nice. And you can't argue with "free" though I would probably sell it and get an asus transformer TF300 for a bit more.

Did you end up getting a 16 GB? I was also one of the first 1000 but I received a 32 GB White model (and oddly I also received a 32 GB Micro SD which was supposed to be for the people who pre-ordered after the first 1000), both were completely unexpected as I thought I was getting 16 GB and had no clue about the MicroSD... Absolutely loving the Tab so far and my S3 is none too shabby either
I receive one as well, and love it! I wish ICS was out because I like chrome a lot.
By the way, Why would we sell this to get the Asus? Care to inform about the advantages?
Thanks

Yeh turns out they gave me a 32GB wifi tab and micro sd, in car charger and screen protector, with an s3 of course

For those of you with an SG3 and a Tab 10.1, have you been able to use the Wifi Direct features?
I notice on my Tab 10.1, it does mention Wifi direct, but since I've never had any use for it or heard of it until the SG3, I'm wondering if it works between the two.
I pre ordered my SG3 here in the US, but still hasn't shipped.
Yes. Wifi direct is really good between the two. It's miles faster than Bluetooth. Well with using for anything bigger than a photo. Once connected it's so fast to send multiple files.

i havent tried that, thanks a lot for the tip...
p.d i was so dumb transferring files on the go upoading from one device to dropbox and then downloading in the other.
I've never ordered from them so I suggest you use your Credit Card (so that you can do a chargeback if anything goes south).
Comes in White or Blue.

Should put in the thread title that it's the AT&T version and not the international version. The listing isn't particularly deceptive, but when I (and I assume most xda members) see "unlocked GS3" the first thought is I9300. Frankly an I747 isn't much of a deal at $500.
1sale1day is legit. I bought a 32in 720pHdTV new for 205 vs Amazon 300 and retail 400. Also got some jewelry for the (ex)gf

I have the i9500 variant and my friend who has a note 2 asked if I wanted to trade. I know Note 3 is very near so even if I get the Note 2 I'd have to sell it instantly. I am on vacation in India and checked the prices.
Galaxy S4's, new ones cost about 35,000INR. Used ones sell for about 30,000INR.
Note 2's sell for 31,000INR. Used Note 2's sell at about 18,000INR.
I checked how iPhone was doing and saw.
iPhone 4S 16GB, new costs about 25,000 and used costs 20,000.
iPhone 4 16GB, new costs about 37,000INR and used for about 35,000INR.
So I am in a dilemma. I have about $60 worth of accessories with my S4 which I'd obviously giveaway. I do not wanna invest 10,000 more and buy a current highend device. I am eyeing the Xperia Z and Xperia Z Ultra but they say the display isn't nice. And Sony resale/support isn't good. HTC One is nice too but I think its expensive and HTC isn't good with updates.
So what should I do? How much should I sell my Galaxy S4 for? My friends offering me the Note 2 AND 15,000INR. So can anyone tell me how much would a 2 month old used Note 2 sell for?
Should I do it? If so, what should I replace my S4 with. I am thinking to get iPhone 4S and wait till Note 3 is out and sell iPhone 4S for Note 3.
I chose Apple cause they have good resale prices. I am thinking about getting the Nexus 4 too.. are their resale prices good too? betting on Nexus is risky as Google does price cuts wayyy often and there hasn't been a new Nexus in a while.
I need a good temporary phone that will sell well in about 3-4 months.
Opinions?
Note 2 is a bit of a niche phone. A lot of people can't deal with the size so obviously the s4 will have better resale value.
Unless there is a reason you don't want the s4 anymore then I'd just stick with that.

If i were you, id stick to my S 4 till the note 3's up for grabs.price wise, i see the galaxy s 4 price is still high tho it was released few months ago.But its your call mate, decide what suits you best.
I guess I'll keep S4. Note 2 internals are bad too... but for some reason it is tempting.
I do love my S4 though.
Silentrazor why are you even comparing prices? If you have issues with your phone cool.. Why sell your high spec phone for older tech?

Note 2 internals are not bad they are just not as good as the s4. I do understand why you are tempted ... I have both phones and am finding it hard to sell one of them as they are both great. At the end of the day though the s4 is much more popular and will be easier to recuperate money on later.
-- Sent from the mighty Note 2 --
As long as it gives you what you need... Theres no reason to change your phone...
I would definitely keep the S4. It's a fine device.
Weird that the iPhone 4s sells for less than the 4. Or maybe you got it the other way round.
But anyway, if you like the note 2 it wouldn't be such a bad idea considering he's also paying you cash on top. Personally I prefer the S4 and wouldn't trade for any available phone.

If you think the bigger screen and longer lasting battery is worth, it then go for it. But remember the note has a weaker camera and isn't full 1080p HD

Wait for the Nexus 5, if its anything like the LG G2 looks and the same specs it will be the hottest device around running KLP.
I think you should keep S4 till the next generation. Think about it, you're changing your phone within less than a year!! S4 is still a beast device, so why not hold up with it a little more? I bet your warranty (if not rooted/unlocked) is still there!! Do you want my advice?
Wait for Note IV or something like this
Your device can still keep up with current generation and even further
Also, if you're really going to buy the Note III, sell the device to your friend, get a 50$ cheap one, and then buy the Note III! I think it's better than investing in a good phone and selling it later.

Seriously? I am reallly considering the Z but lets see.
Holding onto my S4 as most of you suggested. I thought about selling my S4 and the Note 2 I get and get a very cheap phone till thenote 3 is announced then invest into it. I'll let you all know what happens. But for now I have my S4.

Yeah really... I had the Z but it overheats too much and I don't think the camera is better than the S4's camera... and Sony UI doesn't have that small cool features like air view if u like...

I will definitely keep my S4 and will go for Note III when it is launched,
Price of note 2 will drop again when note III is released, so better to stick with your S4 mate
S4 is a Good choice for now my friend Note 2 will loose it's charm once note 3 is released btw in bangalore india it's available at 27500 inr with bill :thumbup:

I feel it's not viable because of the high price.. in India is quoted at Rs.49990 nearly 800 USD .UNLOCKED... way too expensive... think Samsung has got the pricing absolutely wrong this time... 40k should have made me think off an upgrade.....

It depends on whether it has features which one really needs and which cannot be found on NoteII. Maybe you look at it from that angle.
Just wait till its available (25Th September on wards), 49900/- is the MRP should be available or around 47.5k give it lill more time till October end and u should be able ti buy it for 42/43k, most of the online store are selling sony Z1 for 43k where as its available for 40700/- locally.
Personally I won't be updating this time around. The only features which really grabbed me are the new note taking ones but I don't even use my note 2 for that. I have a note 8.0 which is much better for the purpose. Phone calls, texting and email work just fine on the note 2 and battery life is great so no reason to upgrade until note 4.

No. Maybe N5 or N6. I have my N2 for 6 months.
No , going to Note 4 or S 5
No, Note at All
Actually I am very happy with note 2.
Who will go for 49000 INR mobile phone.
Rather I may buy another Note 2 for my wife because I can get it at 28000 INR only.
Practically there is no app in the Google Play that could not be run perfectly on Note 2
I was going to but my dad just got an s4 and I've been setting it up for him. And honestly most of the new features are pointless and possible battery hogs.
Granted there's 1 or 2 i would like. But unless I can get it for say 50 quid plus my phone? I don't see the point.

That's just the launch date price and in store price. I buy my phones off of Amazon.es, since I'm here in Spain. They go down in price really quickly. The note 2 was 700 euros when it launched last year, in October (mid october) I bought it online for 540. Which is 160 euros off the list price in stores. 8 months later in store it was still 700 euros.
I think stores have to get more competitive or else they will lose more clients. I can't beat lower prices, free 2-3 day shipping and being able to buy stuff from home. I still go out and buy stuff, but really expensive stuff is a lot cheaper online. I found my current house thanks to a listing online! haha.
Back to the topic: I am thinking of the Note 3 as an update to my Note 2, but not this month or maybe even next. November? December? January? I love my Note 2. But I am also eyeing the Sony Xperia Z1 as well was waiting for the Nexus 5. After we get some proper reviews I'll think about it. But I honestly think that 550 is a good deal for the Note 3. I refuse to pay more than 550 for any mobile phone (unlocked of course). So just wait a few days or weeks or maybe even a month and you'll see the price drop quickly, especially online due to competition with other online retailers.
So... Are you going to buy it ?
For battery the LG g2 is also nice!

I dont think I ll buy another samsung device. Note 2 is to keep untill it fries itself. And then moving back to HTC whatever they might have then.

Just wait for the JB 4.3 update for your Note 2....then you will have a note 3...except for the tacky plastic simulated leather case. Admittedly, it may not run as fast as the Note 3....but it will do everything the note 3 can do....why waste your money if you have a N2?:fingers-crossed:
