Ready to jump into the samsung .
I am waiting for ATT announcement with samsung on the 25th and expecting them to announce G2X on ATT.
However
I am tempted to get one from expansys-usa ( with rebates would come to 703 usd)
The downsides
1. Could get it cheaper from att for may be 199 with 2 yr contract
2. No NFC ( dont know if its going to be useful)
Any gestimates about when it would be released if announced on may 25th ?

The Captivate was announced on June 18 and released on July 18. So if they follow a similar pattern, then around June 25th for the SGS2? (not G2X...)
What rebates/coupon codes are you using to get to 703 on expansys usa?
Also, the AT&T version will most likely be bloated up with crap... it's up to you if you wanna deal with that.

Has the announcement of this meeting been posted anywhere, just trying to find the offical announcement before I order this phone from one of the on line sites. I had rather get it from AT&T because of the possible warranty hassels and having to ship it back to Europe.
are they going to have a live streaming event?
anyone got a link?
This is all that is known:

Doubt the US version will keep the already awesome original design. I love the physical home button with back and menu being capacitive. Much classier look imo.
So what will work and what won't work on ATT's network?

its fully compatible with ATT's network, so there is nothing that doesnt work or is broken. full functional goodness.
my hunch is ATT will take the good looking SGS2 and change it into ugly ATT variant.
ATT would be crazy to announce the SGS2 after 10 days of launching the Infuse 4G.
If ATT does not announce this , they are going to miss a big boat here.
THe closest competitor to s2 is HTC sensation. Sensation is set to be launched on tmob.
So i guess tmob wont have it either.

This is exactly what I'm thinking... if they don't announce it though, I'm getting the Infuse.

It's posted that the release date is the third quarter and I suspect that AT&T plans on it being a direct competitor to the iPhone 5. I think AT&T is planning on having the best Android and the best iOS smartphones side by side and the S2 will be priced considerably higher than the Infuse.

Knowing AT&T, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the Infuse 4G is their excuse to fool most dumb American consumers into thinking they have a GS2.
Infuse 4G. 1.2 ghz single core? BAH!! My Captivate is running faster than that!
Sorry If theres a thread like this anywhere, but i once heard that small retailers should be having a different release date. I looked around and couldn't find an ETA
for small retailers in canada anywhere.
I'm sure it must be different for many small stores, but i general estimate would be greatly appreciated.
None have a date here in canada yet. NCIX I have contacted and they do not have a date.

Nope. Even big retailers like BB and FS says they have no ETA from Asus. We are probably looking at January for bigger retailers and some time after that for others.

Not sure why they put up preorders so early when they can't even delivery their products a month later.
NCIX emailed me that they should come in either late last week (obviously didn't happen), early next week, or not at all this year... So vague. The fact that American retailers are shipping them to online customers is really pissing me off... Anyways, that's what I know. I don't know if I'll be waiting much longer than early next week (week of the 19th) for it to ship.
If it is not possible to get mine here in Canada.. I will more then likely just buy from the states. I do not know if NCIX is a big store compared to BB or FS. they were on their Pre order page.
Hi all, for those in North America that cannot wait for the release date here have you had any interest in importing this phone from another country that has it already available?
If so, which one and are there any downfalls?
I'm wondering if this phone will work here if it's from another region, being unlocked.
Also cheapest region to import?
I just bought one from a seller on ebay for $679 shipped (2 biz days fedex) and seems to be pretty legit. We will see.
I preordered from Handtec in UK and is supposed to ship next week. It's a little less than $600 shipped to US with a few gifts included (http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/6338/sony-xperia-s--sim-free-unlocked--black-)
so my local chinese mall has them in stock.
gonna go check it out tommorrow and purchase if legit.

ahhhhh jesus I can't wait till I get this in my hand, I want it so badly.In China they don't have it yet.I'm thinking of getting this from ebay or somewhere.
Bad news guys, they didn't have the Xperia S.
They guy at the phone store screwed up, he thought I was referring to the Xperia Arc S... goddammit.
Why does Sony release the Arc S now in Canada? Nobody cares, we want the S.
Looks like I'll have to import elsewhere.
I'll bet you money that Rogers screwed us. They had a big splash when releasing the Arc/Play first and I wouldn't doubt they had a deal to sell through those and the Arc S.
So now they tell Sony to wait lets say 3-4 months after they release the Arc S so they can sell those before they bring the S here.
it looks like rogers is in the same case as telcel in mexico, they're just introducing the arc s which is a 1 yeard old phone
think I'd import it

Hey Nimche, did you get it from the Japanese seller from last time when we were all getting the Xperia Arc? I found a similar deal on Ebay (never-msrp) that says he'll get it on 3/9 or 3/11 at the latest. He helped answer a few of my questions and seems really responsive. Thinking about giving him a try. BTW, are you getting a black or white one?

Why buy overseas get it in US from negrielectronics.com or expasys. I bought from negri before they are the best.
Can you do a speedtest on AT&T and post the results. Thanks.
I was wondering if anybody else who pre-ordered from clove got any word on when they would start shipping the Z2? The only answer I got so far is early to mid-May. I've never ordered anything from Clove before so I don't know what to expect.
I ordered a Z, ZL and Z1. Now I have a preorder for a Z2. Never had any problem. I have the same info you do.

Yeah, I e-mailed them. They just told me that they will ship when they expect their shipment to come in.
They answered to someone on their blog.
"No confirmed day yet Nick. As far as we are aware, Carphone are still selling through their initial stock provided earlier this month"
I think i am going to get my money back in 2 days.Because this guys dont know anything about the release date.Its so unprofessional.i made big mistake i paid them last month.I would've get my phone from CPW 10 days ago.
I think Clove is doing their job. They are very quick on posting responses on their blog and very knowledgeable and dedicated to their business. They even pulled the Z2 from the top part of their website. I believe the problem is with Sony, and they have been slammed with orders worldwide. Sony did not expect this many orders and were not prepared for it. A little lack of strategy and market planning, but still, I'm waiting on mine and it's all good.

Hi
I've been for a long time a Samsung Note user but this year the Note 8 disappoints me, so I am looking for a V30.
I am an early adopter, I don't have enough patience for the global launch and I was wondering if you might know a reliable korean source to preorder it.
Cheers~
What a joke on LGs part. Announce a phone and then give no indication of its release.

Same here. They keep posting pics of it on their IG and I keep commenting about the release. Nothing. They comment on most things but that. I have the S8+ and a bad itch to get something new. I do not want the Note 8. I also hate to go back to Apple, but if the X is released before the V30, I might get it. Then check out the XL2

It seems that the iPhone X won't be available before 2018: https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/18/16329756/apple-iphone-x-8-availability-preorders-consumer-demand
The LG V30 will probably be on the korean market starting from september 21, you can preorder it on Ebay.
I don't know if the bootloader will be locked or not but the phone is branded and there are some korean apps that cannot be uninstalled.

I will wake up early and preorder it. I will wait on the Tmobile variant of the V30 unless the wait goes into Oct/Nov.
To be honest, i don't know how LG survives? They are making mistakes after mistakes in bootloops, hardware choice, hardware distribution, release dates, announcements, delivery date. Their next mistake will be pricing of the v30.
How doest their mobile division still exist?!

if you got jump on demand with tmobile you can get the s8 then get the V30. now with tmobile you can jump every 30 days.
They finally replied to the 100s of comments on every pic they post of the V30 on IG asking about the release date. To add more insult they said "Very soon" "Only a little bit longer". Not a damn date!!
Nothing new here. Same process as the V20. Which they also messed up the shipping out of once we all did get our pre-orders in.
I don't know about pre-order, but extrapolating the LG G6 schedule, U.S. carrier branded LG V30 should come by October 10 (40 days after official announcement on August 31).
THEN U.S. "carrier unlocked" version probay 5 weeks (35 days) later in mid-November. November 14, if they keep the exact same timeline, which they probably won't... But curious to see how much it will differ.
I purchased the Korean lgg6 and while its a solid phone, the lg store won't work, its region locked. I'm gonna guess a Korean v30 would be the same and moreover I imagine that could impact any other lg server specific features.

That is all it will take to completely lose my interest. It would have to come with 6GB of RAM, the US998 would have to have band 71, and it would have to be $700 or less to recapture my interest if it isn't out by the time the new Pixel line is out.
Guys, I could not take it anymore so I've ordered a silver one on Ebay...
I seems that I haven't learn much after the Note 7 fiasco
