Hi there,
I am thinking about buying this wonderful phone and so I found that on mobilecityonline you have the best price. However, I saw that the model is i9100BKEU. Is this something I should worry about? On both amazon and amazon uk you have the I9100LKAXEU model. I really like the price on mobilecityoneline but I don't want to have any surprises after buying the device.
Could anyone please explain the differences?
Thanks.
Oh, nobody knows? I hope not to buy the wrong version.

Oh thanks. So that means that there is really no difference in hardware that I should worry about? Sorry to ask so much about it but for that price I want to be sure .

China Scam...
I'm half suspicious you are the scammer responsible for that page, and you've only posted to get more hits, since I can't believe anyone with even an iota of critical thinking would need to actually ask that question.
If you do pull the trigger on that one, then I know this nigerian guy who will be keen to be in touch with you, could be quite a lucrative opportunity.
if it looks to good to be true.......chance is this is like many sites in china......con, I used to get loads of ads of these kinds of companies with stuff mega cheap, just google them and see, other chance is that it is a cheap copy.

I can assure you I am not. how do I delete this post then before more people click on it? Trust me dude, I'm just like the rest of ya'll trying to get my hands on one.
Yeah, I know you are desperate to have the phone like the rest of us. You're not the only one here to have rational thought overtaken by gadget-lust, you should see the number of guys here who purchased 32GB microSD cards for "amazing prices", only to receive fakes.
When you're buying electronics you should really only ever stick to reputable sellers - anything online that looks too good to be true is a sham.
hello everybody!
I'm living in germany and the Evo3D actually isn't out till today, so I want to buy one from the U.K., because I thought of the gsm-network there, we're using the same here in germany..my question is what is better? wait until it will be relaeased or buy it know and ship it to me?
also were do you think it would be great I would buy one? at ebay.com or amazon.com? or from another site?

the sooner you buy it the better. (my opionion)
my reasoning (paranoia)
old software better than new. Hboot specifically
unless you are never gonna root it the just get a new one.
so if I would buy one now, I would might have the old version of the original rom from htc that I could root? because I want to root it, I actually use my XDA Touch 2 (HTC Topaz) with original rom from htc without branding, so I would love to root it......I thought htc has released opened bootloader for some android devices?
so what's you're idea? what shall I do know?

HTC did unlock boot loader, but from what I've read there are a few more obstacles with that method. Maybe i'm old school but I'd much rather rely on the guys from xda than HTC. HTC makes great phones but I prefer the software from hackers.
ok, so you would say that it would be good to buy one now? ok, but the question is from where? I've seen many auctions and 'buy now' offers at ebay.com (for me ebay.de, but it doesn't matter and they were all something like 450-600euro...so what do you think about?

i dont know how much that is but i buy and sell the evo 3D here in USA for around $250-$300 US dollars . thats a used one with CDMA . not sure how that translates to euro or if the GSM is priced differently.
hm.....so my only option to get one is to buy one from there for the 450-600euros....ok, it's very expensive compared to cdma phone in usa so I have no option, thank you, will inform you here if I bought one

Good luck shopping!
I've been playing around with making themes lately. Going to try to make a skin soon. Skins work on both gsm and cdma. Hopefully I'll have something for ya by the time you get your gsm phone.
Have a good day!

sorry, don't knew that there is a special Q&A forum
thank you all, as I said, I will inform you and I think I will use your goodies for the phone
I am hoping that this is a simple/quick question. Since like 2 days after it became available, it has been constantly sold out. It is quite annoying. I was wondering if anyone knows what is going on with the availability of the Canadian Nexus 10, and if it really isn't available, or if there is a possibility that it actually is available, and a cookie, or something on my computer, makes it displayed as sold out? Thanks in advance!
Note, I wasn't sure whether or not I should put this into Q&A, or General. So, I stuck it in General. If this is wrong, please tell me for future reference.

I didn't say release dates, I said availability. And I have heard about it becoming available, then being sold out, but I have never come across it. Which is why I'm asking. I don't know if it is my computer by chance, or if it really is sold out. Either way, I asked if anyone knew anything. Because maybe someone does. You obviously don't.
A friend of mine has come to me with his broken SGSIII display, and we want to replace it. I Google'd around but it's impossible to tell what is actually genuine. Any advice?

Check out its..
PRICING
if it is relatively the fair market value
WHERE THE PRODUCT IS LOCATED
this is one of those factors that won't just tell you the quality of the product by looking. But, if you are buying the product out of the US, and the price is super, dirt cheap; be careful. I am not saying that all sellers in China sell low quality parts. In fact, there are plenty of sellers here in the US that do it. But what I am saying is that is where a lot of the low quality parts come from. And if for some reason you do buy from there, it may be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to get any sort of return or exchange.
ehh.. just check this ebay guide out http://reviews.ebay.com/How-To-Spot-BAD-QUALITY-iPhone-4-LCD-Digitizers?ugid=10000000125935382
it is similar on other devices as well
Hi not actually buying this phone,but asking for a friend of mine,he found one red SGS3 on web and the guy said it comes with preloaded jellybean,can that be possible?? because he said the phone is new!(but the price is to low about 60€ low) should then the phone had the version of software that was when he came out?? did anyone buy a NEW SGS3 with jellybean,preloaded?? and what should he look when buying this phone? I'am thinking about some build issues or other issues hardware software,that are possible on this phone??
well, first of all - yes there are devices preloaded with JB.
secondly 60€ ?? if there is something that's always true is if you see something that's too good to be true - it's probably is.
make sure it's unused, undamaged and simfree. also i would suggest to make sure it's one of the models listed here:

For this price it seems almost too good to be true, check for damage, software issues or general problems with the phone before buying. Made the same mistake with the HTC one x, brought one that had £150 off its original price and stupid as I am, I went for it, big mistake. I now have a sgs3 and I'm very happy with it although this was brand new

it is the international version I9300,are you sure that some SGS3 come with jellybean?? and I don't think you understand me price is 380€,that is 60€ cheaper than same brand new in local store 440€,and I don't think that they update your phone in factory,I bought HTC ONE X and it is produced in august,but it still had 4.03 not 4.04 that is available on update at that time,if it is written on the specs ICS why would they preload JB,it is against the law to mislead costumers like that,you have to sell what is in specs of the phone,right??
oh ok 380€ is more likely.
could be a killer sale but as i mentioned i would double and triple check. are you getting the device unopened from the store and with warranty ?
if so - just "sniff" around check the store reputation.
about the version i wouldn't call a newer official software mislead but if they'd say that the device has 2200 mah battery for example that would be against the law...
