Yes you will have a 'Spanish' Prime, but I do not think there are Spain specific updates, As far as I know there are US, World Wide, Taiwan, and a few others.

So you should just get WW updates (which are usually a few days after US) and you'll be fine
However, if you plan to unlock the bootloader and install custom, or stock roms for that matter, then there should be absolutely no difference.
Have a nice day
thanks for the reply, I was thinking the same thing about having a world wide update... anyways ill ask in the store if it can be updated world wide

Hi,
A couple of members from Belgium are reporting they bought a 10.1v tablet with no signs of Vodafone on it. Not on the tablet and not in the software.
I bought my tablet from Vodafone and I have Vodafone saying on the back.
I am not seeing any signs of Vodafone in the software, I have no simcard installed if that matters, I am on Wifi only.
I have seen one testvideo of the 10.1v where the guy was saying there were some Vodafone settings in the software!
*****
Do you see signs of Vodafone in the software?
The Belgium members have the latest firmware P7100BUKE2.(3.0.1 HC)
Who is responsible for putting this firmware on the tablet.
Samsung, I quess.
Why is it, other 10.1v users cannot get this firmware from Samsung.
I don't understand.
******
Guys from Belgium!, Samsung Netherlands wrote to me they won't support software for the 10.1v, I have to contact Vodafone for updates.
They only will support hardware issues.
I am really curious how things will turn out for you.
*****
Maybe you guys have one of these tablets already.
This is a confusing article I must say (posted by another member) but look at the date, it is pretty recent.
http://techcircle.vccircle.com/500/samsung-launches-galaxy-tab-10-1v-in-its-home-market/?sf1857262=1
it is a stock android without vodafone apps. a Google Experience Device< GED>
samsung says vodafone will do the updates, some vodafone countrys say samsung does it. there is a tweet from vodafone nl that the update is coming but they don't know when.
i'm not happy that i have a samsung tablet because te bad experience with 3.01 and none know when we get a update. i suggest to my friends,family and customers not to take a samsung tablet and look to a brand that support als there older models

Yeah, it is sad, isn't it.
I just read on tabletsmagazine that Asus is rolling out 3.2 tomorrow for the Transformer here in The Netherlands.
I plan to visit Italy in mid-November (Rome, and a few other places I haven't decided on), so I just thought I might use that trip to get myself an 800. So I would appreciate if our Italian fellow XDAers or people who know could answer a few questions about shopping for phones in Italy.
First of all, are there multibrand phone stores that sell unbranded SIM-free phones? If yes, what are they called?
If not, do operators sell SIM-free phones like in some other countries?
Are there chains like MediaMarkt or BestBuy? Are they good for phone shopping?
Molte grazie!

Hi vangrieg, in Italy most of stores sell a lot of unbranded phones and smartphones. The only problem seems that, at the moment, Nokia Lumia 800 is not present in many stores.
In fact some stores accept Lumia 800 preorders, but the release date is set for 20 November.
There are lot of chains. I am not from Rome but they are more or less the same in all country: Mediaworld, Euronics, Trony, Unieuro are just some good known.
e.g. Euronics (Lumia preorder)
Enjoy your visit to Rome!

Thanks for the names! I've seen their websites but wasn't sure if they had brick and mortar stores, most seem like online only. Will check these out.

I'm sure I will. Not yet decided whether to go up North to Firenze/Venezia/Genova/Milano or South to Napoli/Palermo. The North has more familiar names, the South is warmer. Tough choice!

I checked with the Helsinki store and they do not have it available. Even if they would have it I'm hesitant to buy seeing that the keyboard will be different than usual Finnish.
Thanks OP for the tip!

Thanks for the answer but I was hoping for a more specific answer. Is it NL, UK or other layout? If you are unsure could you please post a photo? Seeing that Capi is international Im interested in what country version is being delivered. If you can't take a photo is it possible for you to post the product code?
Again, thanks for the tip and help!
it qwerty US intertional layout 100% sure. Will ty nd post a pic for ou a bit later so you can see but i got a dutch prime because the box is dutch and the info inside is also dutch
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.
I want to buy the new Gear Fit 2, but it hasn't been released in Denmark yet. I'm considering ordering it from Germany since it's the closest country where it has been released so it would arrive here earlier, but I'm worried that the device's language might be locked to German, as I recall reading some posts about users who bought the Gear Fit 1 having trouble changing the language.
Ordering from the US, Canada or Australia is not an option either, as it would have to go through customs and I would end up paying import tax.
So does anyone know, if I order the Gear Fit 2 from Germany, will the device be running in German? And if so, will I be able to change it to English in the device settings, or maybe from the Samsung Gear app on my S7E?
Would there be any other problem that I'm not contemplating right now?
Thanks!
There is no language settings in Samsung Gear and Fit2 itself. Most likely, Fit2 get same language as host phone.
Hi there, I bought mine from Amazon.fr (i'm in the uk). The box and instructions were in French but when I turned on the watch for the first time it was all in English. I've had no trouble.Hope this helps

Hi!
Norway here
I ordered from amazon.com (they collect tax etc.) so there won't be any additional costs to what you are paying to Amazon.
I get mine today, so I'll check if you can set the language to danish/norwegian.
EDIT: you can order it here: https://www.komplett.dk/search?q=gear+fit+2
