It's not waterproof. Don't try it.

Sure, if you dunk it in water it will still work if you let it sit in a bag of rice for a week.

[Q] Buy phone for USA or CANADA

Anyone know where can I buy the galaxy s2 unlocked in USA or CANADA or online website that will send me the phone ?

expansys
http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-android-smartphone-unlocked-16gb-209554/
seems to be where everyone is getting there's. I'm outside Chicago, IL and I brought mine from a guy @ a flea market. He provided a receipt which shows that he brought the phone from some company, I'll give you that name once I get home.
Bought mine from expansys-usa. Was an excellent transaction, and got the phone faster than they estimated.
in land of democracy, we have something called search
look for handtec, expansys or clove
Thanks everyone for you're help, I juste ordered from expensys, total prices after tax and all the shipping fee is 812$. the phone it self costed 725$ canadian because the can$ wort more then the usa$ now. Kinda happy, but I feel that it expensive. and I also found the 25$ discount , it helped.
Now i have to wait for it, he said I should receive closer to the end of the month, they will recevie them next week and 2-5days shipping.
I also found this phone on mobilecity but it out of stuck and they said they will get it by the end of the month. So i will be saving 15-20$. Not a big differance.
I was looking first to see if this phone is good and looking at this forum, it amazing. No issue what so ever and compaire to my current galaxy captivate, the battery life is 500% better. FU** galaxy captivate or s1, same thing.
Hope to get it next week but thats hoping....
sovietunion, wen you receive the phone, can u let me know how much tax/duty u paid for it? im really tempted.

[Q] Want to buy the Jetstream in Holland

Hey guys!
The jetstream wont be coming to Holland..
Does anyone there have an idea how I can get one?
is anyone in holland selling ?
Thanks in advance!
I got mine from my brother in law (philippino) who bought it when his ship landed in US of A. The AT&T salesperson did not ask for a SS number, nothing. Just payed the 849 dollars and got the pen for free. No questions asked about data plan. I also let him buy the black cover and screen protector.
I unlocked it and it works great. I'm a happy camper (from Belgium)

Demos should be on display @ BBY and FS tomorrow at some point. Its sitting in our warehouse right now waiting to be unpacked. Stock should be hugely available june 20th for the 16th, and in limited amounts of the 32.
Anything else?
Will all Best Buy locations including Best Buy Mobile have them on June 20th? I know the less traffic BB locations don't usually get them on launch date.

I hope the accessories are available right away. I ordered the pebble blue from clove and I hope it ships next week. I want the flip cover for work but don't want to pay for shipping. Didn't think to add it when I ordered the phone.

I hope they have at least the screen protector and some cases to choose from. IMO, all touchscreen phones should come with a pre-installed screen protector. Sony Ericsson/Sony does.

Its being released June 20th. My store has stock on order, which should ship Monday morning.

tomorow I will try to go to see the demo and if my seller have order stock
(Sorry for the bad english, i'm french)
I really can't wait to be able to check one out on display. I need to see it to see if its worth upgrading to from the SGS2! A little worried about going from international to the variant though due to limited updates. Lets hope that since all the variants are basically the same (i747) that updates will be frequent for N. America
on the best buy site I saw a version at 32go for bell :O

Noooooooooo !!!!!

This is really sad.
I feel for those who have pre-ordered the phone and were patiently waiting for their handset to arrive.
I got lucky as CPW delivered my phone on 30th.
But I feel like I may have to return it, if samsung do decide to recall all note 7's.
Ouch.... So this could be a worldwide problem not just Korea. Not good mine seems to be running fine for 2 weeks now. I wonder what the symptoms are before it detonate.
I find it kind of exciting. My phone could self deduct at any moment. It's like playing a never ending game of hot potato. Except you are always holding the potato. And the potato explodes. ?
In all seriousness, I'm confused. Yesterday it was just about batteries from one Korean manufacturer and used only in Korea. Now I could be carrying around a pocket bomb.

Ya it seems like a global problem, people from around the world are getting messages from their retailers to shut off the phone and return the unit.
I just want to know how to stress the battery to see if it heats up (obviously not to the point it does explode). I've been charging my N930FD with various non Samsung fast charging adaptors and doesn't even get warm.
When rooting my phone, it got extremely hot during the boot process like most phones do, but I've never felt it get warm after that.

Not in the United States, the phone is still for sale at all five US carriers, and no notice has been sent from either Samsung or the carriers- Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular, Sprint. My Verizon Note 7, SM-N930V, has no issues, charging or otherwise. Canada is also similarly unaffected. It's looking like a exynos issue, the North American models use the Snapdragon 820.
returning mine to cpw for refund as ive opened it would there be any problems cpw taking it back? also would they ask for gear vr back?

For once, Snapdragon FTW, lol.
I just had my boss hold my phone to see if by some miracle it'll explode, 10 minutes passed and it is still stone-cold. Mine is a N930FD made in Vietnam.

This kind of contradicts your text from CPW. Samsung's said launches are continuing in other markets. Hopefully its CPW trying to be conservative and holding deliveries so they don't have to swap phones until an all clear is given. I've been using mine for over two weeks and it never even gets warm charging whether fast wireless, 9V cable charge, or 25W cable charge. Even if U.S. phones are recalled I'll keep mine until it blows up as it takes me a full day to rebuild my phone. It's not a Takata air bag where I'm going to be maimed by shrapnel.
Samsung concluded that the faulty batteries are to blame for the explosions. Samsung SDI is the group within Samsung that makes batteries for the Galaxy Note 7. That is, Samsung SDI produces the battery cell, but the battery pack production is outsourced to other firms. Korean ITM Semiconductor produces the battery pack for the Galaxy Note 7’s that are sold in Korea. ITM’s batteries seem to have been the ones that exploded. Meanwhile, most phones sold in China are going to have battery packs from Chinese company Amperex Technology.​

[Canada] All S10 models and variants. [Waiting Room] Discussion.

Who's hyped and ready for the 10th anniversary Galaxy S phone? Let's talk about it. Whether you pre-ordered from Robelus Samsung or abroad because Exynos is more your thing. Let's share and compare.
I first went with the Ceramic black s10+ 12GB/1tb variant but dialed the crazy down to the 8GB/512gb variant because, who needs 12GBs of Ram? Well not me that's for sure. Pre-ordered from Telus on Feb 20th how about you guys?
I ordered the same model as you from Samsung. They said my device would ship March 5th. What is Telus telling customers?
i wanted the 12GB/1TB version but Rogers are not doing it, all other Canadian Carriers have it except Rogers, so i went with the 8GB/512GB ceramic black.
do we in Canada will get locked trash version again ?
I just ordered with pdaplaza from québec a s10 plus SM-G975F dual sim (1400$ with tx). they assured me that it has the exymos processor (because I want to root it because since Nexus 4, I can't live without Viper4android). it will run with Fizz, the new cell provider (as my s8+ since a few weeks).
As everybody I'm just waiting for it now to be delivered in Montréal (expected in the next few weeks).

They always say that it will ship on release day. It usually ships between midnight and 2am and I've always received my phones on the first day.

Yes. Locked bootloader SD 855. I personally prefer the better processor over root. But I know a lot of people can't live without it.

anyone know if anywhere is giving away the free buds in Canada with preorders ?
also i see t-booth and wireless wave have the trade in deal so you get $300 trade in long as device is worth $25 trade value , but it also mentions a top up to $500 . i tried calling but they don't have all the details on this yet.. so i curious if anyone else knows...
Im still on the fence...that oval hole in the screen is just something i dont know if i can stand.
Everything else looks killer on it.
Going with the S10 in black from the online Samsung store. That $200 credit is pretty sweet.

I wanted the Ceramic White which was with 512. Was the lowest I can select for 1299.99.
Luck for me on the 1st launch, trading my note8 and getting a credit of 550. That's why I chose the deal. 699 plus tax at samsung website, tmobile was lower,
Yesterday noticed samsung dropped all the prices, now the Note 8 is 225.
Lucky for me.

Whoa! The only reason I didn't go with that one is because I'll probably sell it to get the Note 10 and Samsungs don't hold their value like iPhones do. I'd lose way too much money on the resale. Enjoy it!

Any advice on what deal slash plan to hit up. I've always stayed with the big three but with all these other sub carriers, I can`t figure out what to do if I were to get in on this. Im in Alberta, currently with Bell and my S8 term is about to end. She`s in mint condition and im trying to find the max trade in plus a plan with at least 5 gigs of data and like 100 bucks per month or less.
Traded in an old iPhone my girlfriend had lying around and picked up the 128 model from Samsung directly, was happy they had Prism Blue available, it's a nice change from constantly having a black phone. Samsung says it ships on March 5th, so fingers cross it comes in a bit early - do they ship via Canada Post?
