I got my G Tab for the 255.00 on woot, and since having it others I work with want one and was wondering if you know where to get a great deal for the G Tab instead of paying the 399.99 at Sears.
Also the Clip case question. Where can I get one?
Happy Hump Day!
Many places are mentioned in the threads
Office Depot has it for $299 on the website. It's the cheapest I've found from a reputable retailer.

The Sears Outlet also has a bunch of "refurbs" which a lot of times is one that a customer returned without any defects. Several folks here have bought them before the Woot deal and have reported no problems with buying a "refurb" from the Sears Outlet. Although the site says it's store pickup only several folks have reported that if you first buy it online and then call the store after you've bought it the store will ship it to you for free.

Note: click the "Find all available products" link after the above page comes up to see all the stock.
The clip case you can get at www.electroniccrap.com. He sold out of black so only white ones are available today.
When was it on woot for $255? I only saw $279 both as a daily and the woot-off. I bought mine for $279 on the woot-off.
As low as $316 shipped from Amazon Marketplace.
Oppps, Yes it was 279.00. Was in an alternate reality when I was typing and don't know why I typed 255.00.
Anyone know if or when the Samsung Galaxy S 2 will be sold in stores in Hong Kong?
I'm going to be heading there next week and would love to pick up this beast!
The S2 will not be available until sometime in June. You could buy a UK version for about HKD$6300. But stocks are very limited.
I got mine last week and it's the Korea version S2.
order in expansys just HKD$5880
so it'll hit stores in June? I'm gonna be there till from beginning of June till end of July so hopefully I can pick one up there!
Purchased mine in Hong Kong last week from Expansys at $5880 also, no problems so far, when I spoke to them, these are actually UK Handsets they are getting shipped in from their UK warehouse but they do support full chinese symbology which is also great. They come debranded with the XEU firmware.
Is there an actual Expansys store in Hong Kong that I can purchase from? or do you have to order from them online? Thanks!

I've buy it for HKD $6180, at causeway bay (Germany version)
Was that the best price you could get it for, or like was it one of the only stores around that sold it? And when did you buy it also, cuz I'm wondering if any would have them in stock.
Just wondering do you live in hong kong? If so, you think sin tat plaza would have it for cheaper? And do you think it is reliable to buy from one of those vendors? E.g. I want to look out for buying a counterfeit/fake or a used one.
Also do vendors at sin tat plaza would buy a used phone from me?
now can buy
Might i ask where you can buy it? And say the range you'd get it for?
Would be nice if someone can recommend a shop which won't sell me a counterfeit or used one and has a good deal.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Soooooo, no one? Love it if I could get some more info.

I would not buy at Sin Tat. All those little shops look like crooks to me and that **** hole smells like smoke as sellers continue to smoke there even prohibited. It is basically to rip off the china mainlanders and women and foreigners that don't know they are paying for. Buy from a legit shop. There are plenty nowadays. As for the Galaxy S 2, they have the imported (grey market) ones now for about 6000hkd. I am personally waiting for it to arrive to CSL or 1010 carrier so I can renew my contract. If anyone else has more information on what stores they got theirs from, I would like to know too. Only place I saw is Citylink in MK.
Ah thanks, was afraid sin tat would be something like that since my cousin warned me of hk, just can't think of anywhere else to go.
Guess I'll try to check out citylink, I knew they'd all be grey marketed anyways but thanks for the info.
What's your estimate on how long it'll take from tin shui wai to mong kok from train, etc?
Kind of a stupid question, but any idea on how I may be able to tell if it's a legit shop? E.g In mong kok, are most shops legit? Or say like the shops in tourist shopping areas like causeway bay, kowloon city, etc, is it safe to say most shops there are legit?
Thanks man for the info, you've been most helpful.
Bumpity Bumpity bump. No spam intended... wait...

Hong Kong version always is better because most are factory´s unlocked
As someone else stated before, you can get it from Expansys, but technically you can get that from most other countries as well. Expansys Hong Kong ships the UK without NFC version, which works on quadband 2G/3G. Very fast.
At the moment, it isn't out in Hong Kong yet, and yes - the local smaller vendors charge an arm and a leg for a total of $6300 HKD ish from the places I went. I only found it at Sin Tat.
Not sure if the ones they sell there are UK or Korean versions, but I heard the Korean versions run under Korean networks which means it's NOT quadband 2G/3G.
TIP: Check Settings -> About Phone - make sure it's not the Korean version.
I talked to Broadway and Fortress, but no one has any lead time for the Hong Kong versions of the phone. I just ended up buying the non-NFC UK version. I'm impatient (plus the non-NFC version is thinner).
I'm not sure, but the word online is the Hong Kong SGS II is going to be running on the Tegra 2. Of course, this is unconfirmed. No real retail store will give you any details (unless you got hook ups -- in that case, give me the juicy details too).
Xian da guang chang (Sin Tat Plaza) is a total rip-off stay away, also most of the little electrical shops on the golden mile in TST.
Buy from a large retailer such as PCCW, Fortune and eXpansys, dont get halled in by the small shops offering you one for 4kHKD to find out when you leave the box is empty, there are so many scams.
Thanks so much for the replies. I was thinking of ordering from expansys hk when i get there but im wondering how the mailing system works there, and how much taxes i have to pay, especially since im a visitor.
Also is it safe/profitable to sell an old phone at hk? Or like will the vendors buy?

So my friend is currently in NYC, and he's thinking about buying the S2 over there if the price is luring enough.
two parts to my question:
1.) What is the going rate for the S2 in the US right now?
2.) Where would you advise that he buy the device? (Actual stores are preferred to online ones.)
Thanks in advance for your help.
Amazon, expansys, newegg, negrielectronics, xda marketplace...may be few other online sites.
Used ones you may get around $550 - $600. New ones I think $640 plus.

The S2 isn't released yet in the states, so an actual store having it stocked is pretty rare to find. There is only one import store I know of, which is mobilecity who sells it for around 730$ (NYC Tax already counted) with no warranty. TBH your better off ordering online because that's pretty much overpriced already.
Guess i should advise him to just get it locally, thanks!
I wanted to make my own but I couldn't find a store selling resistors anywhere in my country (Jordan), including RadioShack, sad I know.
Anyway my only option is to buy from Amazon and ship internationally to my country, so eBay is out of the question.
So my question is, did anyone buy one from Amazon? I would appreciate a link. And how are they usually packaged?
Thanks.
I found the $9.99 one but I'd like some cheaper alternatives.
Created my own, worked like a charm and has cost me less than $3. Wish I haven't ordered the one above lol. Oh well, could use spare one.
If anyone needs help creating one drop me a message.
Hi guys I can see that the Galaxy S2 is being sold at US$579 on Expansys USA. I found better offers on ebay.com but people on this forum told me that Expansys is a very trustable company while getting a S2 on ebay isn't a trusted source.
is there any other trusted company that sells the S2 in the US for less than US$579? thanks

I got mine for 400 off ebay with accessories in new condition 3 month ago. If you do not wish to buy from ebay even from a reputable seller, expansys seems to be cheaper than other places. (If you are in US)
