expansys
http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-android-smartphone-unlocked-16gb-209554/
seems to be where everyone is getting there's. I'm outside Chicago, IL and I brought mine from a guy @ a flea market. He provided a receipt which shows that he brought the phone from some company, I'll give you that name once I get home.
Bought mine from expansys-usa. Was an excellent transaction, and got the phone faster than they estimated.
in land of democracy, we have something called search
look for handtec, expansys or clove
Thanks everyone for you're help, I juste ordered from expensys, total prices after tax and all the shipping fee is 812$. the phone it self costed 725$ canadian because the can$ wort more then the usa$ now. Kinda happy, but I feel that it expensive. and I also found the 25$ discount , it helped.
Now i have to wait for it, he said I should receive closer to the end of the month, they will recevie them next week and 2-5days shipping.
I also found this phone on mobilecity but it out of stuck and they said they will get it by the end of the month. So i will be saving 15-20$. Not a big differance.
I was looking first to see if this phone is good and looking at this forum, it amazing. No issue what so ever and compaire to my current galaxy captivate, the battery life is 500% better. FU** galaxy captivate or s1, same thing.
Hope to get it next week but thats hoping....
sovietunion, wen you receive the phone, can u let me know how much tax/duty u paid for it? im really tempted.

so where can get get one that works in the US?
Non works with US 3G yet
ebay or import one, only work on edge until north american version is released and even then it only has ATT 3G bands if that is important to you
T-Mobile USA
Simple question guys. I think the answer is 'yes' but I want to verify this with people w/ more experience.
Does the UK version of the Hero work w/ T-Mobile USA data network?
I'd like to get the Hero but it would be a waste of money if it doesn't work w/ my provider.
Sorry guys...found the answer on another thread
noob mistake
How trustworthy does this seller look to you guys?

It's cheaper than handtec, which is the best value I've found..
$400?! that's suspicious .. everyone else has it starting from $634
refurbished? it says new ..
the store has zero rating in google shopping
ohhh, now i see why, i'm sure they messed up the currency sign, hero costs 400 british pounds
That's possible.. but everything else on the site is also in dollars and relatively cheap compared to other places.
I guess it is too suspicious though, I'm not going to touch that one.
thinking about buying from mobilegadgetsonline.com
if anyone out there HAS bought from there i would appreciate a quick note about it.
i am thinking of buying from there as they are CHEAP!! CHEAP !! CHEAP!
but as some of you, i am skeptical as well.
they say that they are a new store, with new goods....
trying to obtain a sound customer base.
they also stated that the promo prices (which are fantastic) end on July 31st.
hmmm, what to do, what to do?!?!?!?!?
if its to cheap.....
the alarm bells would be ringing for me
do your homework before you buy.
I would not deal with any company that does not have a land line phone number to call. Not that it makes a difference.
No Whois information either - I know for dot com it not needed, but hay. BEWARE
THATS A SCAM i recently purchased a hero from them and got an email saying ur order can not be prossesed because our credit card processors are down and you must send cash or money order your credit card was not charged
JerryBarcenas, which site did you buy it from so we can know where not to get it.
I'm waiting for the hero to come to the us and will hopefully get my unlocked hero by october/november
that mobilegadgetsonline is a scam however the next cheapest i found was integrontechnologies.com its 599 free shipping and has google checkout ill try them next if not ill just got to expansys i trust them
Thanks for the info, Jerry.
I guess I would recommend everyone to buy from expansys if they wanted to be safe.
I was just curious does anyone know of a good site other than ebay or kijiji. This question is more for My Ontario Canada brothers.....I understand every community or region may have a certain place to sell used tech stuff. Hey if anyone is interested pm me. Also what do you all feel is a good price? Thanks ahead of time for the responses.
Hey man i feel you still I bought my X10 on the day it was released here in Canada with high hopes, and it been kinda of ****. But to be honest If you got your phone with a contract just keep the phone for a year or something and just wait for the next gen phones to come out to Rogers/Canada. I know some people are have switched to the Desire and stuff, well it may seem cool now it is kinda outdated and the "next gen" phones are coming out next year as well. So yeh.
Also try ebay. I tried to sell my X10 at a point but people are kinda aware of the lack of multi touch and stuff so I gave up. One guy was asking me 250.
Redflag Deals might be a good place, but plenty are already selling their X10s there.
The going price in the UK for a used X10 in good condition without scratches is between 200 and 250 pounds. I think it's a good price. You could can sell on ebay as long as you are priced right.
I get one free device per year of up to 1,000 euro in value from my service provider. Plus the local dealer let's me get a second device at the same price as a new customers with contract. So I bought the iphone4 in the beginning of July for 300.
I got the X10 for free, so 200 pounds would go towards covering the cost of the 4. I am taking mine to a flea market next weekend and going to try to get 300 to 250. If not I will put it on Ebay with a buy now price of 220.
Are you just trying to sell it or do you want to replace it with another phone? I'd suggest offering a trade for some other phones on Kijiji and various message boards...
Good grief. Nobody here want to use XDA's own marketplace?
im looking to pick up an x10 if youre still looking to sell. send me a msg and maybe we can work something out? im in ontario as well
Seems like they now have the S2 in stock, going to give them a call later to see what they will offer me...
Just looked at their online prices

Do you have full speed internet or throttled?
How long for that contract?
How much for the handset?

Was for 24 months... Phone was given free of charge..and a they are an autherised tmob reseller, you get the same internet as if you had purchased from tmobile directly...unlike buying from a 3rd party reseller...
Link to there current deal for new contracts...though you may get better as an upgrade as i did
http://www.chitterchatter.co.uk/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-new-pd-74.php
Awesome, i think will give them a bell when i get home and see what they offer me.
Just had a look at my t-mobile and i can get the handset for £180 if i stay on my current £20.56 a month contracts (for another 18 months)... tempting

Why wait for orange?
If you're with orange and due an upgrade phones4u will do it. As far as i'm aware it's the same as upgrading through orange except phones4u get a cut.
I got the standard pack through from orange thanking me for staying with them, kept the same number etc......
Plus now i've got a nice unbranded phone without all the "lovely" orange extras.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Managed to get a Samsung Galaxy S 2 for £9 for the handset and Flex 35 over 18 months

WHATTTTT??? WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS????
I called and spoke to some really nice woman and she checked on their internal "coming soon" list and said that, she can see the GSII will be coming but no date. (This is in spite of the fact the "consumer" websites says June)
So where did you see that you can get it from them direct?
(My contract is such, that I could only do a straight call-up and delivery (regular) upgrade.)
I first saw it as an option when i logged into t-mobile.
Called them literally 2 hours ago and they were offering some horrendous £35 plus contracts for the handset...

Sorry to be so immature BUT OMG!!! Things must have changed since literally a few days ago!
I'm going to try and log in now. (I'm on my dad's business contract so hopefully it will cover it )
And as for the price, it is indeed a very expensive phone.
I've phoned T-Mobile up twice and both times, I've been told they're stocking them, but their internal "coming soon" doesn't actually have a release date!
However the GSII, is on their website.
So if anyone orders from T-Mobile directly, could they please inform us, and when it actually gets delivered??

I did try, but the shop here couldn't process the order.
I phoned on Saturday, they said they'd got a shipment that very morning. Mine should arrive tomorrow; I'll be happy to answer any questions
Worth noting that if you order online or over the phone, you get a 7 day cooling off period, so if you don't like T-Mobile, or your contract, or the phone, or your cat's reaction to the phone or anything else, you can send it back and the contract goes away
Source:
http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/common/returns_policy.html
From what I've read, this does not apply instore. When I first signed up with T-Mobile 18 months ago in a brick-and-mortar store, I asked about this.
Me: "Do you have a cool-off policy?"
Sales guy: "Yes, we have a policy, and that policy is that we have no cool-off period."

Its not specific to T-mobile. Its a statutory protection offered in the distance selling regulations and applies to all distance sales.
I had my T-Mobile SGS2 delivered this morning.
I phoned T-Mobile up on Friday evening and they said they have just got in a delivery of SGS2's so I upgraded to it.
It has got the T-Mobile logo on boot. Havn't tried any other sim cards but I am quite sure it will be locked.
Anything anybody wants me to check?
This is my first android phone so nothing too complicated lol, but Ive been doing a lot of reading about android so am not a total n00b
I'm travelling to NYC in a few weeks and am really interested in buying this phone. The cheapest way I found is ordering it from Clove or Handtec and have it sent to a Fedex office for me to pick it up (it will be impossible to receive it at my place).
The only inconvenient I have is that I will be here for 11 days, and in case i order it 3 or 4 days before leaving i don't know if I will receive it on time, as I'm not familiar with US customs.
If anyone has another idea, please tell me, as I'm desiring to buy this phone from a long time now and in Argentina is impossible to do so (it's $1300 at least!).
Thanks for your help and excuse me for my english, I'm working on it
Cheapest way to get it my my opinion would be to Purchase it on www.expansys-usa.com its 719.99 use promo LSJUNE25 for 25$ off. Have it shipped and call fedex to hold at fedex location. Goto the fedex location and pick it up. I got it over at expansys it took 3 days to deliver to NYC and I live in NYC. It's really upto you. If you are staying at a hotel, you can get it shipped to the hotel and get it. If you need any help let me know.
The phone actually cost me 694.99 after the 25$ off. If you sign up for ebates.com you can get 26.50 cash back so that will drop the price even further.
Also.. No tax/ free shipping over at expansys.
The only problem of buying at EXpansys US is that they require an US billing address, which I don't have. And I'm not staying at a hotel, it's an apartment where nobody will be available to receive it.
Check mobilecityonline. They are located in downtown NYC

MCO is an option, the only problem is it'll cost 100 bucks more as it's 740 plus tax. That is a bit off my budget , considering that from UK I can get it with case, screen protector and MHL adaptor for 750 with shipping.

Hmmm. Yes. Do you have any friends here in the US that you can give cash and they can order it for you from expansys? Also another idea, they have an option to pay with paypal. Maybe that will bypass the US billing address. Give them a call, They have great support working there. They'll help you out.

There´s no one I know that lives in the US, I've already contacted them and pretty much told me there's no way I could buy it. I'll try with Expansys UK, as I think they take international credit cards. I read in a thread that someone from NYC already bought from them. Thanks for your help.

Alright. Hope all ends well. Some tips for NYC... Please .. OH PLEASE! don't stand in the middle of the streets of nyc looking up at the pretty lights. People have to get places so move over to the side and don't stop randomly in the middle. That's the only reason i hate tourists. Other than that enjoy your trip!

Thanks but I want to buy a brand new.
This country is 9 times out of 10 a complete and utter rip off of the highest order in every respect so imagine my surprise when i click on eMobile and Meteor websites and you can purchase the Galaxy S3 for €599 on pay as you go that's actually cheaper than Amazon.de which comes in at €617 including postage, i was astounded as generally id expect a phone like this especially in Ireland to come in nearer the €700 mark, this is actually the cheapest ive seen yet, Amazon and Carphone Warehouse,etc charge 499 sterling which is about 627 euro.
I assume the phone is locked to these networks but no doubt it can be unlocked for free or a small fee.
PS - Both these mobile providers ive been with before and are useless especially Meteor the worst customer service of all time but if your just buying the phone outright throw away the SIM, get it unlocked and away you go.

Why is that cheap? We pay about 584€ in Germany to get a non-branded S3, tax and shipment included

I assume you are talking about....
Amazon.de comes in at http://www.amazon.de/Samsung-Smartp...R8XB7XF&s=ce-de&ie=UTF8&qid=1338325215&sr=1-1
which is great if you live in Germany but for everyone else there are added costs up to €613+ including shiping,etc therefore the links ive provided are cheaper if you are not resident in Germany.
Amazed again The Carphone Warehouse in Ireland are only charging €569 on Three Ireland
http://www.carphonewarehouse.ie/Pro...ndgt-Galaxy-S-III-16GB-Pebble-Blue/238553/1_3
UK Carphone Warehouse charging £499.95 which is about €627 im astounded as usually it's always dearer in rip off Ireland.
Right to hell with this im gonna get one at €569 then ill have to sell my SGSII pretty quickly or ill be completely broke until the end of June.

haha unfortunately it's true mate full of corrupt bankers and Government who have decimated the country besides being a rip off!!!
ANYWAY enough of all that - went into 2 different carphone warehouse shops today in Dublin City, asked about the GALAXY S3, first girl said she "thinks" it might be available this coming Friday but wasn't sure about the price or what network it was on, i informed her according to their website it was €569 and on 3 Ireland she said well there you go you couldn't make it up, how fuc*ing unhelpful or just plain thick!!
Second shop not that much better, confirmed it would be available from midnight tomorrow night if anyone is sad enough to actually wait outside a carphone warehouse at that time just to get a phone but didn't know what price or network it was on, one must ask themselves how did these people get a job in the first place in the carphone warehouse surely everyone cant be as thick as them, all i wanted to know was how much stock they were getting, was it locked to 3 Ireland or not and to confirm the price was correct but they couldn't answer any of these.
Anyway sorry for long rant people like this annoy the hell out of me, fingers crossed they will have stock on Saturday as i wont get a chance before then to get back to the shop, still the best price ive seen anywhere at all!

Hi guys, thinking of getting the s3 for 299 on meteor with a 25 euro 18 month contract, but I'm only studying in ireland so will be going back home to norway for holidays etc. Do any of you know of any reliable unlocking services?

hear in the next budget that there will be a 20 euro/year tax on mobile phone users
Wouldnt put it past them, they need it to fund the bail out and the banks not to mention Ministers 114,000 euro tax free expenses
