Where to buy batch 2 I9300? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Decided to go with the International version instead of the att one. Do you guys have any info on where to order online and get a batch 2 (or newer?) device?
Thanks

Have you try alibaba website?

Not sure if being sarcastic or honest. Either way, I haven't heard of that site before.

I would try websites that are in the UK that might seem the international version like Amazon.co.uk but wouldn't you want lte as the international version doesn't support lte? Also the quad core processor might drain the battery faster though things you need to look out for.
Edit: I believe you can buy stuff from Amazon.co.uk and will ship to the USA

Thanks, will look there.
I know, but I rather have the dev support. Besides, I'm on wifi 90% of the day, so don't really need lte. Also, I'm pretty sure lte will drain more than the quad core processor.
Thanks for sharing your opinion though!

Yes that is very true good luck in finding the phone!

Any experience with negri electronics?
Their price is a little lower than Amazon US, and their online rep claimed that the phone is from the second batch:
Victor
Are those phone from the second batch of production? I've read that the ones from the first batch had some issues.
Ted - NegriCare
Yes. These units are from the newest batch available.

I recommend going with Expansys USA since they are a USA vendor and you can get a square and trade warranty.

Nope, Amazon UK does not ship phones to the US (not sure about seller from their marketplace)...

Galaxy s2 lte hd

I just saw one in hong kong selling for us$650. Anyone has one? And how do you like it.
The only thing that is preventing me is the battery life... And of course the lack of large community support. I guess 2 things.

Will this device ever be available globally?
Also does it have NFC?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Is it only available in Korea only?
I don't know whether there is a global launch. I saw it from a llace where they sell import goods. Nevertheless, $650, seems to be a reasonable price.
Pretty sure it'll works in hk and us.
This is like better than the galaxy nexus with better camera and memory expansion and hd screen. Man....

With my knowledge, I think it's not a global launch. The vendor might take it from Korea??
It would awesome if Sammy launch all over the world.
yes it worked in HK.. u can even get it cheaper than $650 through Chinese website. this phone is great but just too new and lack of discussions and roms.. most of the mods and themes came from korean community...

Why do we have a 2500mah vs. International 2600mah battery?

Why does the att Gnote have a 2500mah battery instead of 2600 like the international versions???is there something special like NFC built in or something else?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Maybe it has to do with the NFC antennae that is mounted inside of the back cover of our phones.
just checked
They both have the same size battery man, here is the link to the UK which is the international version. thank you

I just noticed the antennae sits just above the battery. Nvmd.
That's the n7000 model..the other model i9220 or whatever it is sports a 2600mah...a 100mah difference isn't a big deal by any means..just wondering.

The i9220 is from China.. it is a weird device. It is also underclocked to 1.2ghz.. I guess they take battery life more seriously.
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
It's not under clocked, they just got the better processor. Their 1.2ghz is faster than our 1.5 by far, but it was a trade off for LTE service.

Yes, it is underclocked. The n7000 from Europe runs at 1.4Ghz. The i9220 model from China runs at 1.2Ghz.
I still don't understand why there is an international version and a north American version. Bell messed up with note this time by using the north American version. On the S2 they had the international version which was really fun to be a ROM flasher

The NA version has LTE, the international version does not. As such, they have different processors.

Yea the Samsung Exynos processor found in the non-NA Notes does not support an LTE radio, they just don't work together. So it was the trade off to have LTE on our phone which I really enjoy. So if you would blame anyone blame Samsung for not developing an LTE friendly processor.

Sorry to bump this thread for what is probably a silly question but I have a Note in th UK which came wuth a 2500mAh battery and was considering this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B007AA1E3K/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1337533622&sr=8-1 which are 2600mAh batteries. They would work in my phone right? And physically they will be the same size as I know with 5000mAh baterry you need a bigger back cover.
Thanks.

These listings are pretty misleading. I got three of these batteries with a charger. While they work and are listed at 2600mAh, they don't last nearly as long as the stock 2500.
Still at that cheap price, I guess you can't complain.

I'd recommend that you get the tmo version and not the international version unless you want to be stuck with 2g data.

im not planning to get any sort of data plan so it would be best for me to stick with the international version.
Is there any other reputable sources to buy the int. s3? it looks they they are only offering the white version...

Well there are two options for you. people have good reviews for both expansys-USA.com and for negrielectronics.com
You also have option to import from UK from websites like clove.co.uk
All these above websites will have atleast two weeks of lead time due to tons of pre orders. Average cost its just under seven hundred bucks.
If you want to spend some extra money you can get it from Ebay as well. Average cost here is about right hundred.

Anyone getting a Galaxy SIII this week?

I'm curious if anyone here will be grabbing the GS3 later this week when it's released? I'm not up for resigning until later this year but honestly am very interested in getting one.. Obviously the specs are not up to the international version but still higher then out GS2s...
Also hoping the Devs here on our forum are going GS3, loved their work and I have a feeling we're going to need them to do to the GS3 what they did for our GS2s, get rid of the bloatware and find ways to improve battery life for starters

Nice, please let us know your thoughts when you get it...
Have you checked the status of your pre-order?? Wondering if there is any truth to the rumors it may be delayed??
Was hoping to have mine by the end of the week BUT I just talked to AT&T and it is now backordered. I pre-ordered at midnight the 6th so i 'should' be one of the first...we shall see.

Well there are definitely benefits. Like for example now we'll have even more people coming in here posting questions when they have the wrong phone version. (Like them lovely skyrocket owners lol)
My pre order days processing. I was told it should be in my doorstep Thursday afternoon! I'll keep you all updated.

There's a strong chance I'll be getting a review unit(probably won't be able to root it) but I will not leave this phone as I can't afford to buy it

That's because it hasn't been released in the US yet (I assume that's where you are by the carriers listed).
All of us in the US that have a Z2 have one imported from one of the other countries it has been released in(even if we got it from a US seller).

Yeah lol
Go for it and let us know how it went. Could your luck get any worse that it has been already.
Surprised to see this model is d6543 thought it would be d503.
New budget says mobiles should be cheaper, wonder if that means they reduce the 7% import duty.
