I want to order an s2 from amazon uk. I'd preffer the white one, although the colour does not matter as much as if it is definately I9100 or unfortunately the I9100G. Has anyone ordered them from there recently? Please let me know asap as I wanna order it soon the price has gone down quite a bit.

anyone there? I wanna order it today
Go ahead & buy it. If it is supplied by Amazon you should not have any problem. Always had great service from them. Black @ £407.30 & White @ £416.40, good price.
The UK doesn't have the I9100G, but that's not to say someone couldn't sell one on Amazon UK marketplace.

Like oinky said we dont have the G version you could get lucky and have the P version that just means you will have nfc but I think only orange branded have them anyway.
Surley there is a Q&A section on amazon.
I have ordered the black one just because a mate of mine told me the white ones are all G in the UK. Uninformed idiot :C. Oh well i'll just have the black one instead. When it comes to a Q&A section on amazon, I did ask the customer service people but all they did was copied and pasted the title of the item, which wasn't that helpful. Cheers anyway guys I hope i'll be looking for a good rom and kernel soon
I've never had a problem with Amazon, go ahead and order the best phone ever!
I chose next day delivery and on the royal mail website it tells me it will come on the 30th while amazon says 28th, im confused :s

You can pop the battery and and check where your phone is made from, with my SGS1 it was Korea by Samsung, now my SGS2 is China by Samsung.
Please take note that you HAVE to remove the battery in order to see the location in where it was wade as the batteries are almost always made in Korea but the actual phone could be somewhere else.
EDIT:
To those who voted others, please leave a comment.

Mine actually says "Made in Korea by Samsung".
SGS II: Made in Korea by Samsung
Battery: Made in Korea/Finished in China
Mine Says: "Made by Chin-Ho and his father Chun-He. We slaved all day to build this Device and it still has a battery drian. I wouldnt mind but we get paid peanuts (Litrally)to make it as good as the iPhone4®©
I even sliced off the top of my finger while inserting the gorilla glass that might be why there is a RED PIXEL on your screen. Ohh and the bluetooth will crackle on A2DP because i replaced it with my yellow molar's since it was already falling out and it saves samsung creating a fresh chip. Anyway i hope you like it and dont return it because you will be dammed if you think im building a new one for you. Dont sweat it cz were already working on the sgs3 and your phone will only be worth half the price by then 6months later with no support".

"Ohhh dont forget to update your phone to the latest CM7 when its developed it will kick ****sungs arse"

I think most of the SGS2 roaming around in India is made in Korea ones.
As Far has i know they said that the release date was the 6th of march and that is long gone and still none off the major mobile company's in Portugal such as Tmn, Vodafone,optimus are selling the phone. Can anyone please confirm the date that the phone will be on sale or do i have to buy it from another country seller.
Phone was launch in the UK on the 9th Most of the carriers will have it by 13th in the UK. Not sure about Portugal most probably same time.

Had this phone for 2 days now, I am glad I did. SGS 2 great phone at it's time. The XS skins are light and the screen is just awesome. ONE S interesting phone you like sense then?
not really i would only buy the hts one s because off its processor otherwise i would have bought an xperia because i like its interface, music player,track id etc basicly everything
I'm thinking of buying the sim free S3 in either amazon.fr or amazon.de because it's cheaper than in my country and that way I wont have to buy a charger like I would if ordering from UK (Portugal doesn't have an official price yet but if the unlocked HOX costs about 699 € S3 will be at least that much).
It will be my first samsung and from what i've been reading there's a lot of firmware versions (In my htc desire I just had to search for a "world wide english" version) will I have to stick with the firmware from france or germany when updating or can I just flash any firmware from "Portugal" or "Open Europe" later? Will the original firmware have any problems working in other countrys?
Thanks
I always try buying from Amazon.de if it is possible, and i have also bought many times from UK Amazon as well, so I would recommend German one, the delivery is quicker, the prices are better.

good call mate your spot on it is cheaper on the German Amazon and Google translate does the job when ordering so no language barrier, how long for delivery though to the rest of Europe and i assume no excess is paid like if you order a product from USA,etc?
I've ordered mine from the German Amazon. Had it pre ordered from Expansys, but they are selling the S3 at a much higher price, so I ended up canceling the order.
Cheers
Yeah ill definily be ordering from the German Amazon website, the UK one is much higher and don't get me started on the likes on Play.com and expansys they are about €90 dearer than Amazon.de
---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------
Wont make any difference at all but emailed expansys
I notice on your website you are charging €664.99 for the Samsung Galaxy S3 but on the German Amazon website it is available for €588.80 plus €7 postage with a delivery time of between 2 to 9 days but having uses Amazon.de before they usually deliver within 5 days or less so im wondering what incentive it would give me to spend an extra €70 odd quid with Expansys?

People from different countries have different delivery methods available
Hello guys !
Anyone have a good feedback from the amazon.de ?? never bought there anything from them before and im also interested in buying from them also !!
Some feedback would be nice, especially from portuguese people !!
Regards
Limaspt
What can i say, they are Amazon, so they follow the same standards. Good service, good customer support
Can anyone help with the original post questions?
Hello,
If i understand your question you want to know if the software will work in our language, if this is the case you can be rested, since the moment you turn on your phone for the first time you can put the base language in portuguese, english, french and some others.
The only thing that wont work in portuguese its the Svoice, there are no suport in our beloved language.
Hope it helps !!
Regards
Limas
Also, just be aware that, if you order from Amazon.de or .fr, their website price will be at their VAT, eg 19% for Germany, but you will be charged at the VAT rate for the delivery country, 23% I believe in Portugal. So the price from German Amazon would be about 608,59€ plus postage for delivery to Portugal. It only shows up after you have inserted your delivery address. That may still be good value for you but you should be aware of it.
EDIT: Though having just looked at the price on French Amazon, I am sure you won't want to buy from there. 649€!
Thanks for the answers. I should be able to change the firmware to a diferent official one or do i have to stick with the stock one (from germany for example)?

Let's say that after the phone is out for sale you will be able to change almost anything in the soft/firmware, the guys here in the XDA are magicians, they can do almost everything... so no need for worrys.
There is only one "but", its our country itself, the things here usualy go on a slow pace, im almost 100% sure that we will need about 2 or 3 months to have a official portuguese rom, but, trust me, if you are in the android wave the las thing you will want its a official portuguese rom.... im talking for the experience i have with android devices.
The SIII will be the third android device i will have, and i really hope that i dont have to stuck with our roms, they are heavy and full of "crap".
When i buy a phone i like to costumise it at my own taste, and not be obliged to have software that i dont want it.... that its what our phone companys do, they make you use what you dont want.....
Best regards

Joining this discussion a little late, after having ordered my SIII from amazon.de and having it delivered to Italy, I can say that the portuguese (TPH) ROM is preferable to the original German ROM. The bloatware included in the German version is absent in the Portuguese one. Unfortunately, SVoice still doesn't support Portuguese.
Another complete mess is samsung apps, I created my account with a Belgium SIM and now it won't let me install anything unless I have that or another Belgium SIM; if I have an Italian or Portuguese SIM in the phone it will ***** and moan that my samsung account is for Belgium only.
Hi guys I need some advice here, I am going to go to Guangzhou, China this Sept '12.
I am wondering whether there is any place to buy Galaxy S3 in Guangzhou? I have done some researched and I found this place called Galaxy Computer Plaza. Is it available there? And what shop can be trusted (as I've read that they sold some imitations)? And how much does it cost there?
Or maybe I should take a ferry and go to Hongkong? How much does it cost in Hongkong and where can I get it?
Btw how does this device compare to HTC One X?
Please advise, thank you very muchhhhh! =)
Better buy from your origin place, easy claim warranty. Believe me, at least you don't have headache during something bad happens.

Why don't you buy it from your country of origin? If you're from the US, buying it there is not going to be much (if any) cheaper from my experience.
If you can't find it in Guangzhou, you can go to Shenzhen. It's about an hour south by train, right near the HK border so you don't need to cross through immigration. Once there, just go to Hua Qiang Bei Electronics district. There will be plazas lined up with tons of shops selling phones.
Would buy in China could be fake. Hong Kong be the best place.

Thx for the info! I am planning to study Mandarin for one year in Guangzhou, that's why I think it is better to buy there =)
Hey guys!
Massively interested in this phone. My HTC U11 broke just recently. The back and front smashed and my insurance company said they couldn't fix it so sent me the cash. That's when I did some research and heard about the Pocophone F1 which looks amazing! The only thing is it isn't easy not having a phone when I need to work....
Is there any chance a release date for Europe or the UK in particular will be announced soon? Any rumours flying about? I'm really trying hard to hold out for this phone!

I'm talking official release but thanks.
It is the Global Version with a UK charger!
It is here also released in the Netherlands, only webshops.
U get Dutch warranty, so I think when u buy it from a UK store u get UK warranty.
Since there are no Mi stores

Thanks for the info BassBounce. That's good to know. The only issue I have with buying from one of these sites is whether they are putting a mark up on the price of the phone? I wonder if when it is officially released will it be cheaper than on these sites? Also, I can't seem to find the Armoured version of the Poco F1 anywhere to buy in the UK. I'd really like the Armoured version since I seem to be pretty unlucky when it comes to braking phones....

Its a UK seller so yeah ur getting a warranty here, ur covered by the seller for 12 months, and even if u get the phone from like Netherlands u still covered by EU warranty, keep in mind the phone is only like 250 quid.. its not a 1000 quid phone, or trying lookin at alternatives like second hand pixel 2 xl for around 300-350
Apparently the one from Appliances Direct doesn't have a charger with it at all!
