You also have to remember that UK prices don't directly transfer to US pricing even through currency conversion. I suspect that the sgs II will be between $500 and $550 in the US at launch off contract.

Yea but the US versions will take apart a lot of features to lower the price. I remember the original EU galaxy s was almost 700!

Not necessarily. I will bet you can find an imported eu sgs II for around $550 pretty soon after it's launched.

OK, so I have had my Vibrant for about 9 months or so and want a new android device. Trying to figure out what I should get? Thinking about doing it in the next 2 weeks. I would like to have a duel core processor and a decent screen and maybe Gingerbread built in. Any ideas? T-Mobile don't seem to have very many devices with these specs! Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks a million!

I was looking at the HTC sensation tonight but I am not so sure now. It has a bootloaders for now. I am on month to month contract but I plan to be on a contract before AT &T takes over.
Might wait for this Samsung Hercules Device. If it's even real! Sounds to good to be true and $350 is way to much Moolah!

Get the Hercules. It have all the specs you want.
If you're willing to buy from ebay buy a sgs2 or you could wait for the hercules.

No 3g though, which is annoying, since pictures and stuff are naturally larger.
It was funny. Everyone in the store kept asking me what phone it was and how huge it was. The manager asked me to root his phone for him so I referred him to xda. But they loved the bad ass note

You have to edit the APN to get the data working with a GoPhone sim card.
Why not go with mysimplewireless? $40 no contract on T-Mobile network.
That is what I am planning and I need 3g

Buy S3
the better sites ever is amazon!:good:
Mobiles.co.uk. - for a low / moderate tariff eg. 300 minutes, unlimited texts, 750 mb data, only £26 /month - £22.75 /month with cash back. Free phone

Amazon is probably best place to buy gs3!

If you're in Europe or the USA/Canada I would suggest either via your carrier or Amazon.
Op I hope you pop into a store and check out the phone first, see what you are really buying. With the colors available, and I9300 & I9305, it would be really wise to get see your options before thinking about contact etc.
Don't end up buying an"Alibaba"phone
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
depends if you want it on contract or not. The best mobile deal comparison site for finding contracts is http://www.comparemobiledeals.com/mobile-phones/Samsung/Galaxy-S3 but Id personally wait until the 4g comes out as prices will fall.
Still waiting to get confirmed specs on the nex nexus also.

In the US, Negri or Techno Trading House. They usually have the best prices and the fastest stock.

If it is the 16gb make sure it is not thru Tmobile. People are purchasing thru TMO for $199 or even that last deal they had where it was for $50 or free I think. After they sell it then they wait a week or 2 and report it lost, stolen and TMO will block the IMEI.

Let's say that after a month or 2 you don't want the device and want to sell it, you will have a better chance of selling it to able to use on att, tmo, simple etc.

Assuming the seller doesn't have insurance on the phone:
What would this seller gain by reporting it stolen? He's still gonna have to pay the early termination fee.

I think it's easier to assume the seller does have insurance, especially on a two day old phone with plans of doing a scheme.
it's also easy to assume the seller may prefer the phone he was using before the n4, change the SIM, no etf

That's assuming he/she pays the etf. Some won't and could care less about their credit. Seller could be selling an already stolen phone and banking on getting rid of it before iemi is blacklisted.
I've also heard people use fake info to sign up for a 2 year contract get phone then just stop paying
