Hi,
in one month I will be in the USA for my vacations and I would like to see if buying a S3 (and the nexus tablet, in case it comes out by then) there would be cheaper.
the thing is I live in Italy and I would like to know if:
A) an unbranded version of the phone is already available there/will be by then
B) if it is, if there are any differences in the version of the phone and if i will encounter any issues using it in Italy (maybe also considering warranty?)
thanks in advance for your attention ,
Nicola

Hey mates,
I've been a loyal nokia user since the last few years, things are about to change tomorrow as im buying my first android phone, the galaxy s2!
Vodafone india is exclusively going to sell the phone from tomorrow. They're also offering 1gb per month data usage on 3g for the first 6 months.
Im curious to know if the phone will come with vodafone badge/logo, etc. Im also assuming that the phone will be locked? If i do unlock it through some 3rd party app, will it create trouble, end my free 3g usage? Or should i wait till the 9th and buy a factory unlocked phone(i hope they're gonna sell factory unlocked units in india)?
Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers!
No, it is exactly same as the retail version(Unlocked) . Indiaplaza offers the phone for 29.9k . I hope the price is going to be come down below 30k in retails stores in a week or two .
Thanks - Anish
Hey i was unable to locate any vodafone store around Delhi, India which had information regarding SGS2 from which part are you?
Im about to buy the Samsung Galaxy S2 Unlocked from Expansys USA for 656
http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-android-smartphone-unlocked-16gb-209554/#unlocked
But I have a couple questions.
First of all:
Is there any difference in this phone model i9100BKEU that any other? Like as far as flashing ROMs, and flashing back to stock?
Secondly:
Have any of y'all ordered from Expansys, any reviews?
Thanks! Hopefully If I order this I can make my DlevROM for the Galaxy S2
There's tons of posts on purchasing the phone for use in the U.S. Expansys-USA provides warranty support so by buying it from them you retain the two-year global warranty and they'll ship it back to the UK for you if necessary. EU means it's a European phone I don't know what specific country that code references. You can flash any ROM you want once you get the phone and they all provide U.S. English support. Most Expansys phones are UK but some have come from Poland and Chile too.
Hey there,
I am currently considering buying a Galaxy S II off eBay here in Australia and i was wondering what I should and shouldn't be looking for.
My main concern is that if I get Hong Kong/International stock then it may have differences (OS or Hardware) to the ones you can buy locally. Is there a way I could check to see where the handsets come from based on a model number or anything? and is anyone using an eBay bought SII to list the differences to local stock?
Thanks in advance,

I bought mine off ebay ages ago, was listed as Australian stock...so if you are worried about overseas models just use the advanced search and choose only located in AU...then if it is not stated in the description just ask the seller if its aussie stock...though in most cases ones from overseas work just fine and I don't believe there are any differences (both local and overseas stock are international versions, besides the I9100T for telstra)

Thanks, there's a massive price difference between Australian ($700) and Unmentioned ($550) stock though so if possible I'd just love to make sure it won't turn up in some unheard of language with no way to change it, the wrong bands, restrictions (I know NTT Docomo limit text messages to 160 characters) on the OS or something like that.
so the I9100 stock is all the same with no variations? I thought there were different letters at the end to signify which region they were made for..
Thanks again,

hmm well I got mine for $600...I'm pretty certain they are the international version...as long as it states I9100 and nothing else, it should be fine...also some sellers (eBay shops usually), provide 1 year warranties as well..
EDIT: there is an Australian stock on eBay now for 600 + 15 postage...if you're really that worried I'd recommend you just save yourself the worrying... I'm sure you could message the seller and negotiate for free shipping or something...

That's true Thanks for your help! +1 Thanks to you!
Your biggest concern with ebay is getting scammed, rather than getting a weirdo off-spec unit. As others say make sure it says I9100, and specs make sense (eg. 1.2 dual exynos, 4.3" screen, etc.) If you ended up with a qualcomm unit by accident (and wanted exynos...or vice versa) and your seller is legit they would have to accept return for product not as advertised.
This phone is sold for 400 is it worth buying guys? Can I use it with AT&T in English language...Anything I should worry about? I need as many responses as I can get before I head out to get it!
Just got the Spain version from the eBay Daily Deal/Buy.com seller yesterday.
For $400 I guess it's a good deal used.
how do i know if it's GT i9100 or 9100T, the international version vs the US version?
Ask to the seller. You can find model behind the battery.
Regards.
I remember when I bought my Samsung i8910 a couple of years ago I didn't know to buy a version for a specific region as opposed to another, and as updates for the Italian version consistently rolled in my Portuguese version NEVER was available for update (even 2 year later) without flashing a new ROM ... not a big deal now but not the easiest thing back then. Is that still the case today ? I am planning on buying an International GS2 for use on AT&T in the US ...and bottom line is there some version that is better than another?
