Sellers at Amazon has the Note II. Should I buy?? - Galaxy Note II General

Hey all,
If you notice on my signature I have an iPhone. Nothing to say here. I don't want to get into which OS is best, and the reason for keeping an iPhone for so long.... I have my reasons; anyways, time to move along and the Note II is really teasing me. I have some extra cash before all the huge expenses in December and definitely I want this thing.
Now, I found that a seller at Amazon already has the 16GB version of the Note II. I live in Belize, and I cannot pre-order from US carriers, but I can get anything from the US without any sweat (as long as I have the cash to pay the shipper from US and the import taxes here at home...). So, should I jump the gun on this one or wait till after the official release date in the US?

See if you can purchase from Newegg. They are on sale for $699.99.

Hey thanks guy. That's a fair deal. Thing is, I kinda prefer white as smudges are less visible, and secondly Amazon knows my address is a freight forwarder so I get no Sales Tax charge, whereas I'd believe newegg would.
So I guess you guys see no real benefit in waiting for amazon or Samsung selling these directly... I'll buy it from Amazon then, unless you have a promo code for newegg

So how do you know he is a good seller? Just joshing here... I'll buy it, I'll not be able to sleep for the next week or so...

Well, thanks for the encouragement guys. It's been bought, and just like that I spent a good chunk of my pay. If it makes it to Miami by the 9th, it'll be in my hands by next week Friday. If it makes it after that, then I'll have to eat my finger nails until Wed of week after next...
See you at the water cooler.
And to the Texas bro asking how I survived all this while with an iPhone. Well, you an show the arse where the water is, but you can't force him to drink.... and secondly what held me back considerably was the craps-load of apps I've bought over the years - it's considerable....

the guy has nearly 3000 ratings on ebay , 99.7% positive as well as was very responsive about the questions i asked him about. also mailed me to ask if i wanted overnight for a little more than what i had paid, ended up taking up his offer for $14 all in all $729 paid. id say still cheaper than many of the other sellers.

Are you freaking kidding me. After reading that the guy offered to ship your phone faster for couple more bucks, I went and wanted to email him that proposal. Guess what. This thing shipped 15 minutes after I placed the order....
Well, he deserves kudos indeed. So FedEx says it will be delivered the 10, I hope it makes it the 9th...

1saleaday - Scammers

I ordered a Galaxy Note GT-N7000 (i9220) from 1saleaday.com on 03/15/12, and finally received the shipment yesterday (03/28/12). When I opened the shipping container, I discovered an unsealed Galaxy Note box (These were sold as BNIB) that contained all of the accessories, but no Galaxy Note. I have been in constant contact with them the last two days, at which point they tried to persuade me into purchasing today's deal on the Note, at which point they would refund my money and cancel my previous order. Unwilling to do this, because I am already out $584, and was not prepared to throw good money after bad to a company that does not even have a customer service phone number, I was finally informed at the end of their business day today (4:30 PM EDT) that I would NOT be receiving a refund, after all. You see, apparently I am not alone in this, and rather than them take care of the customers who have already tied money up in their shady venture, they now want to do an "investigation" into how widespread this may be. I signed a sworn affidavit attesting to the fact that I did not receive the phone, just the box and accessories, yet they still refuse to refund my money or send me the phone. I do not believe they do this to everyone, but I think they selectively choose random customers here and there when they think they can get away with committing fraud. So, consider this a heads up that doing business with these losers can leave you without the item you paid for or the money you used to pay for it.
I have bought quite a number of items from 1Saleaday and received everything in order including a BNIB HTC View 4G. Just file a dispute or charge back from your Credit Card. Hope you get your money/phone asap.
I have gotten a tentative refund from my credit card company, but this could easily devolve into a "he said, she said" mess, which I want to avoid. What I do not want to avoid is publicly defecating on their business name, which I am in the process of doing across the internet.
I bought a motorola Atrix lapdock from them a couple of week ago. Finally got it 3 and1/2 Weeks later. It was a b#$&h trying to communicate with them. It was only $55 but I was that close to calling my credit card company and filling a claim to get my money back. that's the first and last time I'm buying anything from 1 sale. Might be a good idea to call your credit card up and see what your options are.

Exactly. I'm no fan of 1Sale either, but they can't just issue such a large refund immediately. If I were in charge, I'd want to investigate this claim as well.
Their internal investigation is of no consequence to me. They asked me to just sign an affidavit so they could issue the refund, I did so, and the minute I told them I was not interested in buying today's special, they changed their tune. Either state that I am getting it, dependent on some conditions, or tell me they need to look into the matter further.

+1 for sure, I always set up my tripod and camera before I open the package, even if I'm super excited to get it. I've gotten a box of CD's and a few rocks instead of an XBOX on Ebay. I'll never make that mistake again.
I had an interesting experience with them as well when I was in the market for a 2nd computer to do some dev work on. Received the computer that I purchased from them and it had a bad power supply. Argued with them and it took 3 weeks after receiving the computer for them to issue me an RA and return shipping label, then another 3 weeks to get my refund.
I ordered 3 htc Evo views from them all came flawless. Also ordered 32gb cards a bunch of other things from then with no issues. Hope everything works out in your favor...

I've dealt with 1saleaday on numerous occasions. They may be slow about sending stuff, but I've always received what I ordered. Willing to be they've got someone nefarious in their warehouse/shipping partner chain. Hope it all works out for you!

Thank God !
Well I got my GNEX today !
And its all good.
but while packing the rest of the stuff back in the box, i thought of
something. I think its not THOSE websites they are screwing people.
But their packaging department people probably trying to get away
with some stuff if they could, while packing.
Any way, I thank God that so far I have bought a lot of stuff from
these websites and never had any problem.

64GB MicroSDXC Sandisk - $16.55

Not sure if legit, but I ordered. I know some people jumped on the ones for $24 or whatever they were back in November, and I missed out on it, didn't want the same thing to happen.
If I lose my money it was on my discover card I think I'd be covered, plus it's only $17!
NEVER buy one from China! I bought PSP and Phone memory cards from China before. They were fake! If it says 16GB, it probably is a 2GB. If it looks to good to be true, it probably is.
Garunteed fake.. I feel bad when i see people jumping into this... Perpetuating spam..
The seller has 200+ perfect feedback. Plus there's always eBay's Buyer Protection. Hopefully everything works out for the buyers though.

That is correct, HOWEVER, if you win the case, you have to pay to ship it back to China. It'll cost more money to ship it back and its not worth it.

Yes and No about that. I've been using eBay for over 8 years. I use it pretty much daily lol.
If it is in the US, they will give you a free return label to ship it back.
If it's in another country, you have to pay out of pocket and it must have a tracking number. To ship it with a tracking number (a must to have since they have to see it is delivered), it will be well over $30 (if I'm not mistaken) to ship it to China.
sooo tempting :$

The wait is over! Ebay has finally shut this guys account down. I contacted paypal (I paid as a paypal guest account) they informed me since I paid as a guest there was nothing they could do to recover my funds. So I am contacting my visa card to get this refunded. I will never do this again. I figure this guy is laying on some nice beach in china drinking a margarita with some girls, telling them about the chumps he has worked lately.

[Q] unlocked-mobiles.com - Samsung Galaxy S4

Has anyone bought from this site before http://www.unlocked-mobiles.com/
If so, what was your experience,
The Galaxy S4 is very cheap on this site http://www.unlocked-mobiles.com/sim-free-mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-s4-sim-free-p-84354.html
I was thinking of getting it, reading some reviews the only problems customers have come across is after sales support, if the phone has a fault or is damaged in some way unlocked-mobiles are hard to deal with (apparently).
advertisement!
I've pre ordered mine with them. They have taken payment already, which some people don't like. I'm not bothered as I've paid by credit card. They seem legit and are registered with company's house under ulm.com. No sign of going bust or scammers. They have been around a while too.
The price they are charging appears to be the same as the "leaked" rrp price that was reported several days ago, a few weeks after they first listed at that price. Seems like everyone else are just greedy gits

Eh, I don't think they're all that good as a company to be honest, my USB port died on my GS2 after 13 months, I emailed to ask about the warranty and they told me even though they advertise that it comes with a 2 year warranty, it's really only 1 year, and anything after that I'd have to prove Samsung was at fault and that it wasn't due to wear and tear.
Their site is hosted by "uk-cheapest.co.uk" and the registrant for their domain name has a Yahoo! e-mail address. They're certainly no Clove or Handtec.

To be fair that's down to Samsung. It's their discretion on warranty cover. Although you could go down the legal route when goods don't last a reasonable amount of time for the price paid, which the supplier is responsible for.
I'm not sure many companies would help after more than a month or 2 without a push.
Even Game required a snotty letter (pointing out consumer law rights) before they agreed to fix an xbox 360 past its warranty period.

Careful with these guys - they charge a 15% restocking fee if you change your mind - check their T&Cs. You get a shock if you return the item.
I know it won't be an issue for most as you'll want to keep hold of your S4s but worth thinking about of your not sure as it's a huge restock cost.

Galaxy note 3 Simfree UK Price?

Hey everyone, anyone got any idea how much the note 3 will be simfree in the UK I've got an s3 at the moment and I bloody hate it need something a lot more powerful with a better screen and screen size. I'd be willing to pay like 500-550 although wouldn't be willing to pay over the odds like 700 for it or what they normally try to charge. So yeah anyone got any idea on how much the note 3 will be simfree only as I really don't want to be stuck in and tied down to a contract.

I've pre ordered from handtec, they have always been pretty decently priced. especially when you choose royal mail. no one acts as your gst/tax customs unlike DHL. so you save heaps. fck buying it here. price is always like 300+ more. joke country haha.
plus its never in nz until like 3 months AFTER the rest of the world has it
feeling a custom ROM first day I get it, just like I did with the note 2. custom ROM first day. sweet phone there after xD
where in AUS you live? I always remember your SIG haha

Yeah, prices are way too high here! I'm from Melbourne! I have actually lived in Auckland for 2 years about 10 years ago and I loved it! Where abouts in Auckland are you?
I went with clove again this time. Although Handtec is cheaper but after my horrible experience with them for my GN1 (I don't know if you remember it, I have mentioned it last year) I have decided never to buy from them again.
I have also had a pretty bad experience with DHL last year for the delivery of GN2, so this time I went with the slightly more expensive FedEx ;p

nah not aware of your issue, what was it? I live in greenlane. pretty central. like 1 min walk to the MC D's haha. at the greenlane round about.
what happened with dhl?
I've been Melbourne a bit. got mates there. nice city. bigger Auckland, I could live there easy. instead I'm moving to Europe in Jan next year. making use of my EU passport.
FedEx is pretty good. I've never had problems with them before. I bought my first android from clove. the s2. haha. was a sweet phone back then. I went to it from an iPhone 2 or 3 cant remember now. yonks ago

Had to return 2 consecutive GN1 to them which cost me over 200 bucks because the first one had a bad screen bleed and second with bad dead pixels.
DHL last time had a 2 days deals with the shipping of my GN2 and lost the tracking those 2 days! So decided to spend a couple of dollars more and go with FedEx this time
So what colour have you chosen this time?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
wow that's epic **** luck. I got a 29" monitor the other day and came home, always dread turning on first time and seeing a dead pixel. I had about 8. had to drive alllll the way back. just a major mission. overseas would be even worse lol, no compensations for our shipping eh.
I went black, I've always done black/silver/dark. anything white and I feel like someone might comment on my iphone -_-
I think I waited last time only white was available for the note 2? or something like that, I just held off until the silver was available, think it was the note 2?
what color did you go?
what, spigen screen protectors are mid october in your hands? fck need a temp screen protector asap. link me to what you got? curious to see.
I was going to do a hybrid case but I don't like our already large phone, to be larger. that's why I've always got back replacements, never back/sides or even a complete case that covers the back piece.
from what I read, the spigen screen protector I got from amazon is available 20 september, say 10 days to get here. makes 30th, then if the note 3 is released 25th, say 5 days which is what I can remember how long it took last time, might both be bang on? and 10 days for the spigen is stretching it, I reckon it'll be like 5 days or 7 max

Check out clove UK. I've pre-ordered mine there last night... It will probably end up costing me 725 aussie dollars with FedEx shipping

Just picked one up, not quite as good as the crazy $179, but still a great price! If they were down in the $200s to begin with this tablet would have gotten more of the attention it deserved

Those idiots. There were plenty of people ready to drop the $299 that the pre-introduction rumors indicated. When it came in at $349, most of them walked away. If only...

Agreed. The reviews tend to justify the $350 price, but it's just not a magic spot. $299 along with an actual advertising campaign would've sold these things like hotcakes.

Wonder if Newegg is dropping prices like crazy to unload the batch with the bad screens.

That's really a pretty inflamatory question. The same could be said of virtually any retailer that discounts any product on Cyber Monday. Irrespective, Newegg's generous return policy makes it a non sequitur.

I haven't received mine yet, but from what I've read, I doubt that the blue line is a big concern for all owners.
It's not. If not for the anal retentive folks here, I would have never even noticed it.

I noticed it the first day, but really never again. I use it all the time for playing games and browsing and even if I look for it I can't see it.
People just like to complain. It's like that on every device forum.
black is soldout... but white still available... great price,

I don't see the N5 or new N7 discounted extensively like this. Anyways its just all speculation. The deals dead anyways.
The N5 and N7 are subsidized by Google from the start.

When did you order yours from Newegg? Still waiting on mine, crossing fingers to avoid backlight problems because it'd be tough for me to return where I live.

I ordered Monday and still shows as packaging, I've called twice trying to get overnight shipping for the delay, but no luck.
