http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Where+can+i+buy+the+Samsung+Galaxy+S2+in+Paris?
no luck...
i would use google if i knew french
There are thousands of retailers selling the GS2 across France and Europe, buy it on eBay you'll probably save money.
I'm not being funny mate but when you start threads like this you will most likely be flamed on here
allright.. i hope i can buy unlocked sgs2 in paris as non-resident. coming to france only for 1 week.
I was there a few weeks ago. There are SGS2 ads all over Paris. You can't miss it.

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 I know some people are have switched to the Desire and stuff, well it may seem cool now it is kinda outdated and the "next gen" phones are coming out next year as well.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
im thinking to ship it from box.co.uk
did anyone had a problem with the shippment or anything from this store?
i will be shipping it to Lancaster UK
Probably not big new place in Minworth had traded in the past for a number of years from a big store in Birmingham .

I bought my SGS2 from box.co.uk. Delivery was 1 day late with City Link. But I guess that's to be expected with the 4 day weekend we just had.
i just ordered gs2 from box.co.uk wish me luck
During the upcoming week my sister is going to be in Berlin.
I was hoping that she could bring me back a nice little S2, however i don't want to send her searching all over the city.
Do you know of any store (physical, even better) that holds the Galaxy S2 (SIM Free!) in Berlin?
She's flying over on Monday, hope i can find something suitable by then.
Thanks to whoever tries to help.
Im not living in berlin, but she should try it in a store called media markt. they sell the gs2 but i cant tell you if they will have it there when she is in berlin. and a little advice. i think your sister is able to speak and read german right? if so then tell her to do this what im gonna tell you now. before she buys the gs2 in media markt, tell her to check the price at amazon.de!!! if the price at amazon.de is cheaper than in media markt, she can tell the employee the price from amazon.de because in most cases they sell the gs2 for the price from amazon.de!!! that way you can get it a bit cheaper!!! i hope i could help you a bit.
that's actually a lot of help, seeing how i don't know any german retail chains that's fantastic.
sadly, she doesn't know any german at all, though i think comparing prices with amazon.de should be fine.
however, the (w-ww.amazon.de/gp/product/B004XBQ9HK/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&psc=1) galaxy s2 on amazon.de has two versions, one's regular, and one's "import" - any idea what that means?
also, currently the (w-ww.mediamarkt.de/angebot/smartphones/samsung-galaxy-s-ii) price on mediamarkt seems cheaper (or, very close after taxes) however, i don't know if that's sim free or not, and also if that "import" thing has any relations to it...
if anyone can shed any light on the matter, i'd be most grateful.
on a side note, does anyone have any idea if this version does NFC or not?
U might whant to check cyberport.de, too. That's where I bought mine for 550€. They have stores at Stadtmitte and Walther-Schreiber Platz.
Good luck
I am from Austria and i think i can help you in this matter.
The 'import' on amazon.de means that those phones are from the UK. I would buy it at one of the mediamarkts. They are really popular here in austria and germany. I guess there are at least four or five of them in Berlin. She could alternatively try it at the retailchain Saturn. They are very similiar to the mediamarkts, but i think the phone is in stock everywhere.
Good Luck!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Supermult said it all. If its simfree your sister can ask the staff there. They should be able to understand her
Btw we have no NFC here.
if you want to compare prices in germany's online stores, you should use www.gh.de imho one of the best platforms (despite the comments of the users there ...) here is the SGS2 link: http://gh.de/a615532.html
as for retail stores, the price you posted in Media Markt is definitly worth buying it, unless it's unlocked/unbranded and doesn't come with any contract.
Not to be mean but your sister should be aware that mostly (!!) the employees at Media Markt are a bunch of morons, so she should be well informed what she wants and don't ask them for advice.
Other stores she could try would be:
- Saturn (same as Media Markt) should be the same price as Media Markt
- cyberport (adress: Store Berlin-Steglitz, Walther-Schreiber-Platz 1, D-12161 Berlin) price between 545 and 569 euros
- ATELCO (adress: Filiale Berlin-Wedding, Oudenader Straße 16, D-13347 Berlin-Wedding) price around 566 euros
import means it's the european version (XEU) which is hard to get atm here in germany. Almost all devices are DBT (german retail). Just make sure it's unlocked and unbranded.
if you have any more questions feel free to pm me.
PS: I don't live in Berlin, so I can't help you with exact information.
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!

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
I saw a few topics about help for buying s3 so i decided to get some help from you guys I'm going Hungary with AFS intercultural programs for 1 year. And i want to buy a Galaxy s3 from here. How would you buy it ? With 1 year contract or without contract ? Btw i'm going to buy a sim card from here if u can tell me which operator is better it would be good too.
P.S: Going in August so prices will be same i think.
Thank you
T-Mobile has the best services, quality and coverage.
The cheapest would be the one with one year contract
thank you jasahu do you know anything about Tax-Free shopping ? What about VAT in Hungary what percent ? And can i get a refund for VAT with contract ?

I do not much about tax-free shopping. I do not think that there any more to that than the usual airport duty-free thing.
VAT here was raised to 27% not too long ago :-(
I suppose there little chance to get a refund with a one year contract because you basically get refund if you leave the country soon with your recently bought item. When you do the shopping in person (as opposed web-shopping) I would expect them to give you the refund at the border when you leave, but that is just a guess.
But you can of course try it I suggest you should go to a T-Mobile (or Vodafone or Telenor office at a mall) they often have usable English speaking assistance and ask them.
Or ask them in e-mail. At least T-mobile.hu have an (limited) english version of their website and definitely trying to answer your question.
ok thank you so much I looked to all operator's websites but they haven't English in shopping section =/ i'm going to look for 1 year contracts then when i went there
Here are the prices for one year contract, in descending order of monthly fee:

And I need correct myself when it comes to coverage, Vodafone has the best 3g coverage
