Anyone knows how much do we have to pay in customs if we import a SGS2 from the U.K. on release day? I am looking at purchasing one once I get a good review of the GPS performance and want to make sure I am not surprised with any hidden cost.
unless you live in new york, you dont have to pay any. you just pay for shipping, i ordered from clove.co.uk, and there was no tax, or customs charges, only a shipping fee of 14 their money. however mobilecityonline.com is US based, and is cheaper than clove, you will pay 699, no tax, free shipping, no international hassle. the only reason i went with clove was because they will get it to me anywhere from 2-4 days faster
edit, i just noticed you wont be ordering the day they get released, then it would be faster to order from mobilecityonline, because they will receive stock from uk, which will take a few days to ship, but after that, you can order overnite delivery if you live in the US, so i suggest mobilecityonline.com

MobileCityOnline has free shipping on pre-orders. But no ETA. Yes, it's 699 but no certain date when they receive stock.
I also ordered from Clove and it's about $744 with 2-4 day shipping. I hope it'll arrive by the end of that week. Also, I think there's some currency fee charged by your card issuer. Maybe 3%?
Handtec is slightly cheaper but they've been inconsistent with stock date.

I cannot find anything on their site. If I purchase a sgs 2 from mobilecityonline will I have any kind of warranty? From them or from samsung?

I can't directly answer that question but an email from Clove says, "Samsung offer a two year warranty on the SGS2!!"
I suppose that's regardless of where you buy the phone from. Anyone care to input?

When I ordered a phone from the U.K to Chicago, I was not billed any customs rate what so ever. Even while ordering stuff from H.K, I didnt pay any customs.

then you have to pay sales tax, thats all, idk what it is over there, but in ohio its 7%
thats if you order from mobilecityonline, if you order from clove there wont be any tax. the tax is only from mobilecityonline because theyre actually newyork based, so newyork residents have to pay =/ not sure who would be cheaper in this instance, hmm
thanks everyone
That was one of my worries, at least I can breath now
Now to see if the GPS performs good or not. The first SGS let a sour taste in my mouth.
Ok, so the sellers that can ship to the U.S. that I have so far are:
clove.co.uk (444.00 euros + 14 euros shipping = 458 euros)
mobilecity.com (699.99 dollars + 0 shipping)
handtec.co.uk (515.99 euros + 12.99 euros shipping = 528.98 euros)
expansys.com (519.99 euros + ?? shipping)
expansys-usa.com (749.99 dollars + ?? shipping)
Watch out, UK still uses pounds, not euros
So it's actually 14% more expensive (1GBP=1.14EUR)

I believe the Handtec price you listed includes VAT, which you don't have to pay if you're in the states. The last time I checked it was about 430£.

It's 8.75%.
I tried figuring out where it's cheapest, realized that I was using euros instead of pounds, and gave up.
I just had jaw surgery so I can't think much right now... lol

Is it an international warranty? From my previous experience with Samsung products (laptops, not phones), the warranty would cover the item in the locale where it was purchased, which in this case would be the U.K. no?

Clove just emailed saying if there's an issue with the device, it can always be sent back to them.
They didn't mention any other details. It sounds pretty vague so I guess I'll have to deal with either SquareTrade or Ensquared.

Guys, i want to make sure i've got it correctly: if I'm buying from UK (expansys or handtec) and ship it to USA address not in New York, in my case Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, then i wont pay any US taxes and customs, and expansys's price (which exclude EU VAT while shipping to US) + shipping costs will be my final price?
Price of phone plus shipping is what t
I paid. Shipped to Florida with nn tax.

Well, the closest Fry's to me is 150 miles south in the Bay Area, I think I'll skip that, thanks anyway though. NorCal is pretty much devoid of Fry's, except for the Sacramento and San Francisco Bay Area's.
Edit-Just for fun I checked their online availability tool, it seems the Campbell (SF Bay Area) and Roseville (Sacramento area) stores have them in stock, but Campbell is 170 miles south of me, and Roseville is 150 miles southeast of me, with gas costs that would easily bring the price of it to over $200

That's true, I bought mine from Best Buy online, I actually have one of those fairly close to me, it's 70 miles south of here in Santa Rosa. We have Staples and WalMart in Ukiah (the "big" city in Mendocino County at 16,000, about 10 miles south of my place), but Staples here only sells the Xoom, and WalMart only sells the iPad and iPad2. They seem to be in stock more and more and longer and longer now, I don't think you'll have a problem getting one soon.
So you tried out the Acer, what did you think of it? I looked at them, but it's 100 bucks more, and it looks like it's a lot thicker and heavier. I love my TF anyway, so I'm all set

Walmart had it for $520.00 (in store) last week. I assume that's still a good price. That's the best I've seen.
Typically 3rd party retailers won't discount on off contract price because they can't make money on your contract. In most cases, their price will be higher than AT&T. So Walmart deal is the best you will ever find.

Rofl the link you posted shows the card for $34.99 on amazon. Same price as best buy. Also looked up the Sandisk ultra micro sd 64 gb on amazon...it was $34.99. I don't know where you got $50 from.
And I was basing my claims about best buy on a cnbc documentary that talked about how people just use best buy as a showroom and buy all the stuff online...

I got the $50 from the link I posted. Look at it again. I was citing that Amazon has had it for $50 during this past week alone. And yes Amazon has it for $34.99 because they price matched Best Buy's price.

"Show rooming" as its called will never go away and Best Buy isn't the only company that is losing business because of this. Right now it's a matter not just on competing in price but also the overall experience. Best Buy has made improvements on this for sure in the past year and I'm very sure will continue to keep improving as well. It's never a bad thing as a consumer to have choices in the market for where to buy products. Especially since the demise of Circuit City which you can't deny did hurt more than helped Best Buy for a good deal of time by not having a direct specialized electronics retailer competing against them.

Actually, if you live in a state that has sales tax, Amazon WILL charge you sales tax. Unless you meant buying from a third party seller on Amazon, then it depends on the seller. Buying FROM and ON Amazon are two different things.

This is not always true. I live in Missouri, a state which charges sales tax. However, amazon does not charge tax when delivered to MO. I am charged tax when the items are delivered to my boyfriend's place in KS, but not to my home in MO.
