Hi guys, congrats for those who bought SGSII.
I'm from India. I would like to know is there anyway to import this beauty from South Korea.
Because I hardly can wait for this to arrive in India. More over it's priced 6-8k overpriced compared to the rest of the countrys.... Kindly tell me a way to buy it for cheaper online.... There shouldnt be any problem with customs & the retail price should be cheapest.....

Hi guys,This is my first post here, this is an excellent forum, keep up the good work2! I am living in the UAE where it looks like the SGS2 wont see the light of day till Q3 2011, I cant wait till then so I am looking at my options. I am not very comfortable with ordering it online from sites like Expansys or Handtec, so would prefer getting it from a physical store.
I will be visiting South Korea very soon and have heard that the SGS2 is already on sale there. My questions are:
1) Are the Korean models (sold exclusively through the carriers I hear) fully unlocked?
2) I will be going to study in Manchester for the next two years, so would like to use the SGS2 there. Seeing that S Korea, UK (and the UAE) use the same GSM and 3G bands - 900/1800 and 3G 2100, I understand its possible but are there any other problems that could crop up? I cant find any specs online for the Korean SGS2.
Thank you!
[EDIT]
Guess noone knows or must be thinking that I didnt search before starting a new thread. Thanks to those who did help! Found the answer from a variety of sources, just listing here in case anyone needs it:
The Korean SGS2 are not quad-band, and are physically thicker due to the inclusion of NFC and a TV tuner. Some carriers have different (non global) MMS standards as well. I have been informed that they are probably locked as well and available on contract to locals only. Also the Indian SGS2 has NFC and costs just 675$ to 700$, guess I will just get it from India!
I will tell you what i know.(it is not 100 sure.)
You are correct that there are three different models of SGS2 in korea.
If you want to use the phone in UK,
You should buy SHW-250K( from KT, one of the service provider)
it meets the mms standard of other countries.
Once again this information is not sure.
I need someone's confirmation for this.
Thanks.
If you're going in on a standard tourist visa then you will NOT be able to buy a phone, even outright. Phones are only available to locals and people on long term visas.
Yeah, get it from India.
Im about to buy the Samsung Galaxy S2 Unlocked from Expansys USA for 656
http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-android-smartphone-unlocked-16gb-209554/#unlocked
But I have a couple questions.
First of all:
Is there any difference in this phone model i9100BKEU that any other? Like as far as flashing ROMs, and flashing back to stock?
Secondly:
Have any of y'all ordered from Expansys, any reviews?
Thanks! Hopefully If I order this I can make my DlevROM for the Galaxy S2
There's tons of posts on purchasing the phone for use in the U.S. Expansys-USA provides warranty support so by buying it from them you retain the two-year global warranty and they'll ship it back to the UK for you if necessary. EU means it's a European phone I don't know what specific country that code references. You can flash any ROM you want once you get the phone and they all provide U.S. English support. Most Expansys phones are UK but some have come from Poland and Chile too.
This phone is sold for 400 is it worth buying guys? Can I use it with AT&T in English language...Anything I should worry about? I need as many responses as I can get before I head out to get it!
Just got the Spain version from the eBay Daily Deal/Buy.com seller yesterday.
For $400 I guess it's a good deal used.
how do i know if it's GT i9100 or 9100T, the international version vs the US version?
Ask to the seller. You can find model behind the battery.

Hi to All,
since I'm spending the holidays in South Korea, I'd like to buy the samsung galaxy S3. There is much chaper than in Italy
Can you tell me if it works with Italian/European Networks (GSM/3G) ?
Thank you in advance for the help
Hello everybody, my father is going on a flight to China and it's a great opprotunity to finally buy the Galaxy S3.
In my country, the price is about 730$ and I'm guessing that it is much cheaper in China.
However, we all know that the potential to get a fake Galaxy S3 in China is VERY HIGH!
So I'm asking you what are the best shops in China to get the Galaxy S3?? shops where it is 100% genuine and also good price
For example in USA you got "best buy" and stuff like that, so what are the popular shops in China where it's recommended to purchase the Galaxy S3 and how can he avoid getting a fake one??
--- I need the GT i9300 unlocked version ---
Thanks in advance!!
.........?
please don't bump the thread more than once every 24 hours. it's against the rules.
You can go to any major electronics store, I presume
When I was in China, I found a lot of places with S3. Most of the places I went to sold it for around 3800 yuan... I think. Then I went to a legit Samsung store and they sold it for 5000 yuan. I bought mines in Hong Kong for 6000 hk? I don't remember the price. But I think GuangZhou has it too. If you find a place where they ask for money first so they can order it, it's most likely fake. And remember. No refunds.
