[Q] Buying Galaxy S3 from the USA - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
My sister is flying to USA and i asked her to buy my Blue galaxy s3 (die iphone 4, die !! )
Where i live there is no 4g yet (but soon to be) so i asked her for the international I9300 version, i have 3 question
How much should it cost for 16 gig model ? and the 32 gigs?
Is 16 gigs are enough ?? I'm gonna use dropbox and 8gb unclassified sandisc memory card and I'm wondering if 16 gigs are enough for some games not much and some movies,
Last question, is the price is global in us ? cuz i didn't searched where she should buy it , i trusted her to find some big electronic store and they will have it, is this wrong attitude?
which stores she will find for sure? she gonna trip in New york city and in New york the county
Thank you all !

WHY post the exact same question in two forums .
Especially as you have already had replies to the other post .

The only place that I know of to sell international phones brand new legally is Expansys but that is in Illinois, but she might be able to find some small place in new york selling it or you can tell her to search Craigslist.com in new york might find someone selling g one but it would most likely be used. And a 16gb brand new from exspansys goes for $634.

[Q] Where to buy Samsung Galaxy S II in Europe (Spain)

This might be an odd question in a wrong forum but I couldn't think of anywhere else to ask it!
My sister studies in Spain and she's going to return home 3 weeks from now.
I have the fabulous SGS and wanted to upgrade to SGS II and since SGS II won't be available in out country anytime soon, I thought it would be better if my sister bought it for me there.
I want my phone to be equipped with SAMOLED+ screen and the Exynos chipset. I don't really care about NFC.
The thing is I Googled but I didn't come across any retailer that distribute in Spain, and frankly I don't know how thing work over there.
I even looked for online shops but since I don't really know about any of them, I wasn't so lucky and in fact there are quite a lot of them and I don't really know which one is better!
She could order one online but there is another problem. Since my sister is not a citizen in there, she said she could get back the VAT tax on her way back if there was a proof of purchase for the product. However I don't know if she could do the same thing if the product was ordered online.
So I'm totally lost and don't know what my options are...
I would really appreciate it if you guys could help me out here.
Thanks a lot in advance

[Q] Galaxy s2 on vodafone india

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?

S II on Amazon UK?

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

Buy Galaxy S 3 in Guangzhou or HK?? Need advice!

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 =)

Galaxy S3 Vs Galaxy S2 Plus

The prices for the phones are;
$326 USD for the Galaxy S2 Plus
$489 USD for the Galaxy S3
So, what should I buy? I don't know much about how big the hardware difference is, but compared to the prices, which one should I buy? I'm not rich or anything. Last time I bought an phone, it was a Galaxy Y a year ago, and only because it was cheap. So, either of these phones would be a big plus. I'm thinking of keeping the phones for a long time. Maybe a little over 1.5 years. Dunno if this is important, but I don't work, and only get 277 USD a month for allowance. I want the best phone ofc, but will the S3 be worth it, or should I only go with S2 plus?
What I'm planning to do with the phone is; Play games. Maybe 1 - 2 HD games, since I have never played them on Android, since my current phone is a low-end one. Apps. I have currently somewhere around 50 - 70 apps. 30, give or take, of them is 1 - 3 MB, and the rest are 6 and up. Total almost 1.5 GB of apps. I used Link2SD to link them to the SD card. Internal storage of that phone is only around 100 mb.
Video playback. I want to watch movies, while, for example riding the train or bus. I ride bus to school almost everyday for 20 minutes, so it's a great timekiller. My current phone doesn't play them well, as it lags very much, but I think that either of the phones will do it well.
Normal usage. Calling, sending messages, and such. I'm no business man. I only send 2 - 3 SMS messages during a week, unless something comes up.
Yeah, that's pretty much it. The S2+ is on sale till midnight, so I want answers before then. Thanks for taking your time.

It's I9305. It's the only model they sell in my country. I converted the currency used in my country to US dollars, as it would be easier to most of you to understand how much it costs.
