In Malaysia, I got my Galaxy Note bundled with the flip cover.
It is very nice and is attached to the back cover, thus making it very thin and also gives added protection to the front screen. The thin back cover is also included should I decide not to use the one with the flip cover.
I also us a belt pouch and the entire phone including flip cover can be slotted in for ease of carrying and also for added protection to this lovely phone.
In India Samsung is going to offer blue flip case for first 100000 buyers.

Italy sends you the flip cover, a bt, a gender changer for usb, a car charger and - unsure now - a tv adapter. Lots of stuff if you buy within the year. I should receive them next week I hope.

I have a friend coming over from HK next month & was thinking of asking him to get the wifi version Gtab 7.7 for me. He told me that Broadway sells it for HK$4088. Anyone here from HK know of somewhere to get it cheaper?
Thanks
Yrah, im interested in that too, just i need gsm version
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
The retail price for 3G version and wifi (16GB) should be $5,088 and $ 4,088 HKD.
3G version included a 16 GB micro sd card~~
A colleague came back from HK sporting one she picked up at the Airport Duty Free, apparently for a very good price (don't have details now). Might want to consider that. Said that it was the best impulse buy she'd made for a long time.

This is correct. I bought mine in HK 2 weeks ago and all major stores use the same price; I got mine at Fortress.
My cousin doesn't suggest buying from the grey market, and I echo that excellent advice.
I bought mine in NYC about a week after it was released and paid $750 or something.
I have just brought at new one, the price is
Tab 7.7 (3G) : HK$4680 with 16g SD card
Tab 7.7 (Wifi only) : 3680
Mine was 4200 RMB in Shanghai, 16 gig 3G
Check http://www.price.com.hk/product.php?p=134460&hw=h&ps=star . Address of the shops is usually at the bottom of each listing. You can just search on google maps using them. So the price is in general around 470 USD (including 1 year warranty).
you can buy a wifi version 7.7 @ HK$3500 @ a shop called
A Grade
Lower Ground, (near escalator)
Golden shopping center
Sham Shui Po , Kowloon , HK

In HK there as 2 ways of buying electronic goods. From authorised retailers where you generally pay rrp but get the benefit of full manufacturer warranty & the security of knowing the item is legitimate.
The 2nd way is from unauthorised resellers (the grey market) where the same item generally costs considerably less than rrp. The main negatives of this are no warranty except for the token one the reseller gives you, depending where the item was sourced it may not have menus in the language you require & most importantly legitimacy of the goods in that they may be factory seconds, stolen (rare), certain included accessories may have been taken out prior to sale, etc.
When I lived in HK a few years I bought 90% of technology items from grey market & only ever had one serious problem.
As you are not resident in HK I would go grey market you'll save a lot of $$$s and any warranty would only apply to HK only, but make sure you inspect THE actual tab you are getting making sure that everything supposed to be in the box is in there, turn on the tab making sure it works & inspecting it for any damage.
Best place to go for these sort of items in Kowloon side is Mongkok -Sin Dat Centre or Sham Shiu Po - Golden Centre. If you are nearer Hong Kong Island side then Wan Chai Computer Centre. I used spend hours in those places.

Thx again for your well explanation.
I found the places you mentioned above on Google Map but not Sin Dat Centre. I found Sin Tat Plaza. Is that it? I will be on Kowloon side on Canton street so I should be able to take a quick MTR to Mongkok. I love trying to find my ways around in Hong Kong.
Thx in advance
Canton Road is the main tourist area of HK. Lots of electronics shops around there that have the signs that say tax free but don't be tempted to buy there, big rip off, HK doesn't have sales tax.
One more thing before you seal the deal don't be shy to ask for freebies such as case & screen protector. If you do get a screen protector ask them to put it on for you. Don't know how they do it but it will be much better than you doing yourself. But if they don't do it in your presence make sure you make a note of the serial # before they take it away.

You guys are great here with all these awesome tips. So forget about Nathan street nearby right?
Thx in advance
Nathan Road is long...from where you will be nearer the the waterfront its the tourist part so no go. The further you walk up you get to the more local areas from Jordan - Yau Ma Tai - Mongkok - Prince Edward.
By the way the main authorised dealers would be Broadway, Fortress & Chuen Yuen. I think you'll find the rrp from these dealers is HK$4088 for the wifi version. Mine was bought from Fortress with free screen protector & a neoprene pouch. I have friends & relatives that come & go over regularly so if I ever need to use the warranty they can do it for me.
The cheapest my friend found for wifi version was HK$3680 but I heard they are as low as HK$3500.
When I was in Hong Kong in January I was told that there are 3 models:
1. International Wi-Fi
2. International Wi-Fi/3G/GSM phone
3. Hong Kong Wi-Fi/3G (Chinese language only)
Is this correct? For me English International Wi-Fi of course.
Thx in advance
My beloved Galaxy S is dead. The Samsung technician said it's the motherboard. I dread the thought of spending more money on a new phone, especially if it only lasts 2 years. However, there is a guy selling supposedly new Galaxy S phones on Yahoo's local Internet auction. I'm tempted because of the price and because I have an extra battery and a really nice case (not to mention I now have spare parts), but I don't know what I should be aware of. How can a 2-year-old phone still be around when the Galaxy S3 is out? Can this be legitimate leftover inventory? Are there known fakes out there? (A search of Ebay shows a lot of Galaxy S phones in Shenzhen, China, but I don't know if they're fake or not.)
What questions should I ask the seller? I want to know if there is an OEM battery and if it comes in an unopened box. What else should I ascertain?
Thanks.
Ask him to type *#1234# in the phone if the box is opened;
if he says like
Pda I9000....
Phone I9000
CSC I9000
the best way to know if it is fake or not.
if the box is not opened you should decide yourself.Want some picture from seller for the box etc..
I didnt see any fakes of galaxy s.But as you know galaxy s has some variants
I9000
I9000T
I9000B
Or korean version which's name is entirely different and so on
i recommend you to choose international one,I9000.Custom rom support is amazing for it!

LOL, I bought mine in January 2012 at Noel Leeming NZ
The guy said that i9000 stocks are still available in Vietnam
I haven't talked to the seller just yet, but I got a rough translation of some of the questions people have been asking him.
First off, he had 50 for sale, 41 are left. He says they were display models. They are not 100% new, but no one has asked him yet how much use they have had. He offers a 7-day exchange if something is wrong, and a 30-day warranty. It is the i9000 as that was all that was available here. He sells a lot of cell phone-related things and has pretty good feedback. He has some HTC Arias and Heros for sale, too, which may lend some legitimacy to his business.
I'll have to register an account to ask him more questions. If the phones have never been turned on, he may be reluctant to type in that code.
MrAndroid12, how much did you pay for yours?
I bought mine in january of this year to ;p, for €150 (idk how many dollars that is).
But it broke recently while flashing, and i'm experienced with flashin, but i could not fix it D:, so i got the sensation, thats a really good phone to, and if you know where to look, you can get it cheap

Maybe it's on your manual or something, but in some countries it is not necessary to tell the costumer where the device was made in.
You can also try the app phone info samsung.
I just find the samsung devices made in Korea has even a better quality than apple devices.
usually made in Korea > made in China > made in Vietnam, but Samsung (or exactly the Samsung's factories) usually decide to sell worse devices made in China to Chinese, because China's law on protection of consumer is a joke
I boughted my SM-P900 off Amazon (usa), and it was apparently maded "in Vietnam by Samsung."
I've been quite happy with it, no issues. It feels solid and sturdy, although, I tend to baby new electronics for the first year or so. I got one of the Samsung book cover cases and a zagat screen protector (which is awesome, btw), and put both on immediatly after taking it out of the box.
So far, this tab appears to be much more solid and well built than my old asus TF700T, that's for sure. I still want one of those dual booting asus trio whatever. Google made asus scrap the duet, but they just came out with a better, more expensive dual boot convertible and called it a "trio."

On a sticker on the box. Or possibly by looking up some sort of serial or batch number and comparing it to some list that may or may not exist somewhere. If you're dying to know, you coukd call Samsung, I'm sure they could tell you. Most likely it's either China or Vietnam. I doubt it was made many other places.
Bought at Best Buy in Canada. Made in Vietnam.
I bought my P-901 from Cairo, Egypt and it is made in Vietnam By Samsung. Its quality is good but the silver borders are ugly.

Still not as ugly as the bezel on the Galaxy s5. It's hideous. If you get an s5, you better have a case to immediately throw that sucker in.
P905 LTE Black, Bought in Germany (Media Markt Nordhorn), no information on country of production.
Almost no device in the EU has that information on it. I spend 6 hours looking for it regarding my Note 3. No luck.
Quality is excellent, as I'm used to from EU devices.
What we established a few years ago is that legal quality demands in the EU are MUCH higher than in the US. A fact I've run into more and more often with newer devices. US devices had issues with creaking cases, loose screens, extreme light bleed, colour issues, loose buttons.. For the TF700T the entire US batch had these issues, including a quickly-breaking hinge, whereas the EU ones did not. Part of it is the legal laws, as our quality certifications are MUCH higher, and another part is our return policy. Where US shops easily accept a device that was used for 2 weeks back when the user 'dislikes it'. For us in the EU, the only way to do that after opening the box is if there's a factory defect. Used = No Return.
SM-P905 LTE. Purhased online from Negri Electronics. Fed Ex paperwork says Made in Korea.
In the Netherlands
Bought my P900 from Trendy Computers (Netherlands) for € 608,00. Works fine, no creaking case, almost no screenbleeding, I am a happy owner. Can't find any information about about where it is made.
made in Brazil
Mine is from Brazil made in the Samsung factory in Manaus the first one I got hat the silver part damaged near the power button the metal was gonna an u could see the plastic inside revealing that the metal isn't metal just a thing covering the plastic inside
So I changed worried that over time the silver plater could go loosing more and more of the silver finish the second one has the finish perfect but at first use the vibration sound was weird the stopped not sure why it seems xda has relates about similar issues in other people's tablets too it was like if my vibration was more strong Than most... really loud ...
As it has stopped I kept the device change things in Brazil is not easy even when broken they don't want give u a new but fix the broken I think mine warms a bit near bellow the camera location on normal use web browsing etc it gets 33 Celsius 90 f
What is the temp of yours ?
I bought my Black P905 in Germany (Base/Provider), yesterday i root my Device.. Yeeaahh
Bought in USA made in Vietnam.
Quality seems fine, kinda hard to judge with such a large plastic device, but no noise or uneven seems.
While at Best Buy i noticed that the display model flexed when picked up from a corner, after mentioning this to the Best Buy associate standing next to me, he took the tablet and proceeded to bend it, quite forcefully. The tablet bent what appeared to be between 3/8 and 1/2 in. across its width, with no damage, i was pretty impressed. Thats not to say I am going to show this feature off to friends but its nice to know it won't fall apart if treated a little rough.
Black 64GB P900 purchased in USA from Best Buy and it's made in Vietnam.

Hey guys,
Whether you have the phone purchased outright or subsidised on a plan from your service provider - did you receive your box SEALED by LG at all? If yes, please advise how or what it was sealed with (sticker?) or if it looked opened and re-sealed (eg: tape).
If no, please comment where you purchased from. My last 6 phones have been from Samsung...and from what I'm hearing which I'm yet to confirm, is LG don't have a seal on their G4 box. Or does it vary by model/location? It shouldn't, but i don't know. Please SHARE your experience.
Thanks!

I got mine from Vodafone when I prolonged my contract and the box was originally sealed with a label
Bell, Canada. Sealed with a transparent-circular sticker.
Mine yes, the guy on the store opened it right in front of me. Was brand new phones, i got it on release day in my country. The seal is this one btw:

Thanks! Appreciate that.
I'm beginning to believe it depends on where the G4 model is sourced from...whether it be direct from LG, checked and re-sealed by a carrier or a 3rd party, or not sealed at all.
My story is for dual sim H818P model. JadoPado (in UAE) are a retailer who advise their "supplier" (not direct from LG) don't have seals (or broken ones, for that matter) on them. So my one is without I actually expected this to be the same everywhere, especially if buying outright - ie ONE standard brand-name seal...but it's not the case!

I got mine from tropical mobile. It had a sticker but there was glue from a previous sticker that had been removed.
My Verizon model came with no seal.
Amazon us had two clear circles. I do think what you get is regional.
Also in the US I know best buy and sprint will sell opened phones. They have opened new phones right in front of me to show me a feature ( the best buy demo did not have the leather back so the guy opened a new one for me). I also rejected an opened phone once and left the store...
