Whoa 31k for a grey market unit?
The actual retail price must be really close to that then.
Gray market unit means no warranty right? I wonder if this will make a nice phone change from an s3 (s3 user here)

Galaxy Note II in the Philippines
Hi Pinoys! This thread was created to have an avenue for Filipinos to dicuss their Galaxy Note II experience. Please post in English!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
Hello! Nice seeing you here! I remember you from the other pinoy forums, sgs2 I think. Did you buy yours in the gray market or officially?
Just out of curiosity, what's/where's the grey market? Only asking because, i'm taking my family to the philippines in 2 weeks...so it would be cool if Im able to get the Note 2 cheaper over there than here in SoCal.
Oh a gray unit is bought from places like greenhills or sulit.com.ph or tipidcp.com. These items usually come with no warranty thats why they're cheaper. Since you're going to bring the unit abroad it would be silly to get one here with warranty. Locally I'd recommend getting from gamextreme. It's a reputable shop and they have listings on sulit.com.ph
What's up kabayan? Does note2 Philippines firmware already has split screen?

It depends where you got your phone. 2 friends of mine who got the phone in the gray market have the split screen through an ota update.

No,i will be in Pune on 17th,then to Mumbai with 1 of my friend.
Both of us are going for SGS 2,as per now the dealer has confirmed 1.2Ghz+Super Amoled Plus version.But the final price he is saying might go to Rs 32,000 also but then as two of us are going for it,we are quite confident of the deal for Rs 30,000
I would appreciate it if you would post some pics after the purchase. Ill take a trip down to Mumbai as well.
Well don't get your hopes up, because lots of people get fooled by phone resellers... I'm not saying you won't get your phone by Monday, but don't be too disappointed when you don't, because you probably won't

my thoughts exactly. a big authorized retailer would not risk the reputation and the relationship with Samsung by selling a phone [under the table?] prior to the official release date. But I have never been to India, may be it is standard practice there

Let's see,it's the same shop from where i got my N1 back in March 2010.
Mumbai & Delhi in India are the two cities where you can get almost all the latest GSM Smartphones.

Not really comparable. Nexus One was already available as from January 2010 in some countries, so maybe it was an import model I don't know...
Here we're talking about a phone which hasn't been released anywhere worldwide.

I Hope so too!! I am from India too and right now waiting for the S2. It would be great news for all those who are waiting to buy it in India! Do post some pics! it would be nice too finally see the pics of the Samsung Logo on the front
Well, about that video. Damn that screen is nice!! I have been waiting for a vid to really show off the screen, this does it. Those blacks, omg!
Was it just me or was the Quadrant score in that video less then the one in the image posted a couple of days ago. It might be due to the processor speed or something else.
They might have the 1Ghz version.
I was thinking the same, I believe the score was 2500 vs the posted image of 3000.

Hmm. I thought so too but one of the responses in the YouTube video says that it was a 1.2Ghz model.
Perhaps running apps in the background might make a difference.
Just a thought.

If you buy it now, it won't have Jelly Bean - but it will get it in mid-July when Jelly Bean is released on this, the Nexus 7 and I think something else (I forget). So said those at Google I/O at least...

Thanks for the reply. I do understand the difference between gsm vs cdma. I have the LTE nexus currently. My question had to do with not being able to see the nexus for sale on my market (along with accessories). I also can't find the nexus 7 on the play store. Any ideas other than clearing data?
No way has Google sold out in under bloody 30 minutes!!!
I am so angry right now. I had the damn thing in the frickin' checkout for Christ's sake! And then it just disappeared... now it's telling me it's 'coming soon' WTF?!!!
What's going on? Surely Google are not that blind that they would only stock tiny limited amount?

Be on a lookout for new devices coming today or the nearest days I say. I accidently ordered 3 Nexus 10 tablets because of spamming buy. Just one seemed to go through, but in the end I had 3 pending. Surely they will be made available again soon once I cancel them.

Google Wallet and Google Play Store were crashing down.
So they closed ordering for a while.
It's not sold out yet.
Though it seems they weren't ready for all the orders, so there might not be that many units left...

Indeed. But I have a feeling USA will suffer the same fate
seems alot of people are having bad luck and some lucky bastards orders went through here
Between 10 am and 1pm I was constantly hitting the refresh button and on around 8 occasions I was greeted with the add to cart button, on one occasion I even made it to select quantity, the max being one handset, the rest of the times I got the stupid oops something went wrong screen
I have a sneaky feeling that something might give around 5pm UK time and not all handsets are in fact sold, fingers crossed

How to order Nexus 4 ?
Hello everyone. I want to buy this new android smartphone (Nexus 4), but Google Play isn't available in my country. How can i buy it at the astonishing price of 350 EUR (16 gb version) ? I'll pay the shipping..that's not a problem. Where I live (in Romania), the phone will probably appear in stores in December at the price of ~~599 EUR. A little help from you, guys...
Thank you.:good:
If you must have it now then same as me eBay and prepare to pay more for it, maybe lots more!!!!

I don't need it right now. If i could get it before Christmas at a good price, i will be quite amazed. I really hope i'll manage to find a way....
I'd keep checking throughout the day. It's possible there will be a lot of orders that don't process and some stock may become available again. Some people have already noted they've seen the COMING soon switch to available and then back again (I haven't).
Well ive just taken the plunge and paid £339 for an 8GB on eBay.

I think i'll stick with the Samsung S3 if eBay is the solution. It cost "380£" in several reliable stores in my town.
Although I prefered the N4...

Well. It's not a first time when Samsung promising an update and than delaying it for ages. In my pinion we can expect 4.2.2 to be relised after note 3 arrival. That why I'm a happy user of custom rom. Alliance Rom 3.1 is the best I've tried till now.:thumbup:

Android 4.2 is overrated in my opinion, there's nothing really major. If anything, Android 4.2 is known to be buggy and battery life is worse compared to 4.1 which is very stable. But it's great to be on the latest version of android....
