hello.
i am using t-mobile wing, i have to purchase its case but unfortunately in pakistan i couldn't find any web shop for because i cann't afford shipment from abroad. if anyone have information about that please share...
thanx
I'm thinking of buying the sim free S3 in either amazon.fr or amazon.de because it's cheaper than in my country and that way I wont have to buy a charger like I would if ordering from UK (Portugal doesn't have an official price yet but if the unlocked HOX costs about 699 € S3 will be at least that much).
It will be my first samsung and from what i've been reading there's a lot of firmware versions (In my htc desire I just had to search for a "world wide english" version) will I have to stick with the firmware from france or germany when updating or can I just flash any firmware from "Portugal" or "Open Europe" later? Will the original firmware have any problems working in other countrys?
Thanks
I always try buying from Amazon.de if it is possible, and i have also bought many times from UK Amazon as well, so I would recommend German one, the delivery is quicker, the prices are better.

good call mate your spot on it is cheaper on the German Amazon and Google translate does the job when ordering so no language barrier, how long for delivery though to the rest of Europe and i assume no excess is paid like if you order a product from USA,etc?
I've ordered mine from the German Amazon. Had it pre ordered from Expansys, but they are selling the S3 at a much higher price, so I ended up canceling the order.
Cheers
Yeah ill definily be ordering from the German Amazon website, the UK one is much higher and don't get me started on the likes on Play.com and expansys they are about €90 dearer than Amazon.de

Wont make any difference at all but emailed expansys
I notice on your website you are charging €664.99 for the Samsung Galaxy S3 but on the German Amazon website it is available for €588.80 plus €7 postage with a delivery time of between 2 to 9 days but having uses Amazon.de before they usually deliver within 5 days or less so im wondering what incentive it would give me to spend an extra €70 odd quid with Expansys?

People from different countries have different delivery methods available
Hello guys !
Anyone have a good feedback from the amazon.de ?? never bought there anything from them before and im also interested in buying from them also !!
Some feedback would be nice, especially from portuguese people !!
Regards
Limaspt
What can i say, they are Amazon, so they follow the same standards. Good service, good customer support
Can anyone help with the original post questions?
Hello,
If i understand your question you want to know if the software will work in our language, if this is the case you can be rested, since the moment you turn on your phone for the first time you can put the base language in portuguese, english, french and some others.
The only thing that wont work in portuguese its the Svoice, there are no suport in our beloved language.
Hope it helps !!
Regards
Limas
Also, just be aware that, if you order from Amazon.de or .fr, their website price will be at their VAT, eg 19% for Germany, but you will be charged at the VAT rate for the delivery country, 23% I believe in Portugal. So the price from German Amazon would be about 608,59€ plus postage for delivery to Portugal. It only shows up after you have inserted your delivery address. That may still be good value for you but you should be aware of it.
EDIT: Though having just looked at the price on French Amazon, I am sure you won't want to buy from there. 649€!
Thanks for the answers. I should be able to change the firmware to a diferent official one or do i have to stick with the stock one (from germany for example)?

Let's say that after the phone is out for sale you will be able to change almost anything in the soft/firmware, the guys here in the XDA are magicians, they can do almost everything... so no need for worrys.
There is only one "but", its our country itself, the things here usualy go on a slow pace, im almost 100% sure that we will need about 2 or 3 months to have a official portuguese rom, but, trust me, if you are in the android wave the las thing you will want its a official portuguese rom.... im talking for the experience i have with android devices.
The SIII will be the third android device i will have, and i really hope that i dont have to stuck with our roms, they are heavy and full of "crap".
When i buy a phone i like to costumise it at my own taste, and not be obliged to have software that i dont want it.... that its what our phone companys do, they make you use what you dont want.....
Best regards

Joining this discussion a little late, after having ordered my SIII from amazon.de and having it delivered to Italy, I can say that the portuguese (TPH) ROM is preferable to the original German ROM. The bloatware included in the German version is absent in the Portuguese one. Unfortunately, SVoice still doesn't support Portuguese.
Another complete mess is samsung apps, I created my account with a Belgium SIM and now it won't let me install anything unless I have that or another Belgium SIM; if I have an Italian or Portuguese SIM in the phone it will ***** and moan that my samsung account is for Belgium only.
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 =)

Too bad I already bought mine...considering I was the first view and would've gotten first dibs on this code. *sigh*

The one I posted in the OP is still active, and the one posted two above you by CoreGaming is active as well. To use the codes in the format we posted them in, add onepl.us/ in front of the code to form the link.

I want to buy the new Gear Fit 2, but it hasn't been released in Denmark yet. I'm considering ordering it from Germany since it's the closest country where it has been released so it would arrive here earlier, but I'm worried that the device's language might be locked to German, as I recall reading some posts about users who bought the Gear Fit 1 having trouble changing the language.
Ordering from the US, Canada or Australia is not an option either, as it would have to go through customs and I would end up paying import tax.
So does anyone know, if I order the Gear Fit 2 from Germany, will the device be running in German? And if so, will I be able to change it to English in the device settings, or maybe from the Samsung Gear app on my S7E?
Would there be any other problem that I'm not contemplating right now?
Thanks!
There is no language settings in Samsung Gear and Fit2 itself. Most likely, Fit2 get same language as host phone.
Hi there, I bought mine from Amazon.fr (i'm in the uk). The box and instructions were in French but when I turned on the watch for the first time it was all in English. I've had no trouble.Hope this helps

Hi!
Norway here
I ordered from amazon.com (they collect tax etc.) so there won't be any additional costs to what you are paying to Amazon.
I get mine today, so I'll check if you can set the language to danish/norwegian.
EDIT: you can order it here: https://www.komplett.dk/search?q=gear+fit+2
