I wouldn't question them mate... either they have too much stock of the alpha or it's a mistake!
Either way, bite their hand off!

[Q] Galaxy S2 Plus coming at MWC: will the standard S2 get cheaper?

As you may be aware, the Galaxy S2 Plus is coming to the MWC. Currently the price for the standard S2 is US$579. Do you think that the S2 Plus will cost more than US$579? Or do you think that the standard S2 will decrease its price to something like US$499 while the S2 Plus will be sold at US$579?
Im interested in buying a S2, should I wait until MWC? Do you think that after the MWC the standard S2 will cost US$499?

And where the fu** did you get the info about Galaxy S2 Plus? I'm really wondering how the rest of the world didn't find out yet.

Questions about t-mobile galaxy s2 vs s3 based on ICS rom changes

So I'm looking to switch to the t-mobile 30$ monthly 4g and have been looking at a phone. Theres a pretty big price difference between the s2 and s3 and I'm not sure its really warranted after you factor in that ICS is available via roms for the s2.
I guess my questions are- is the screen on the s2 really going to be that much better with its plus display? I know the t-mobile s2 is a more or less suped up version of the normal s2. Also, will the camera be identical to the s3 since from what I understand the only difference was the software? What downsides am I really looking at in the end choosing the cheaper and older phone?
thanks in advance for any insights!

I'm guessing you're asking about the T-Mobile USA versions of the S2 and S3?
This isn't the forum for the T-Mobile USA version of the S2, that is in a different forum instead.

Too expensive , samsung repair

Ok here is the deal , my phone got hardbricked by this stupid 4.0.4 thing , so i gave to samsung and i was out of warranty , after 3 days they called me and told me it will cost about half of the phone to replace the motherboard
Now what should i do , get a new gs2 or get my old made in korea samsung repaired
Or just wait for the gs3 to get cheaper then buy it
Sucks man. How much is the repair? Maybe get a Galaxy Nexus. They are pretty cheap now and you will get the latest updates fast, no more rooting BS. I'm thinking of trading my S2 for the nexus. Brickbug has scared me too much

If you know what you are doing or can even read, then the brick bug can never affect you.
And even if you have galaxy nexus, you will still eventually root the device.
Unmodified Aosp ICS Android build has it's own obvious limitations too.

Motherboard is the most expensive part of almost any electronic device.
Getting it via official source will even be more expensive.
My advise:
1. Change your motherboard via unofficial route. It's will be cheaper
2. Buy used Galaxy SII or nexus while you wait for the price of galaxy Siii to drop significantly.

Gonna buy second hand GALAXY S2

So I live in India and a person is making an offer of 3.5k for his old and used galaxy s2.
Non-rooted.
So is it worth it or I can go with something low.
