was looking at getting another SGS to use as a device to try out differrent roms. wondering how much is to much to buy
Not sure where you're located but here in The Netherlands I am seeing prices of around 400 - 500 EUR, while I know in France a collegue of me recently picked up a new unlocked one for 280 EUR.
Hope this helps.

Hey there,
I am currently considering buying a Galaxy S II off eBay here in Australia and i was wondering what I should and shouldn't be looking for.
My main concern is that if I get Hong Kong/International stock then it may have differences (OS or Hardware) to the ones you can buy locally. Is there a way I could check to see where the handsets come from based on a model number or anything? and is anyone using an eBay bought SII to list the differences to local stock?
Thanks in advance,
DarkRyoushii
I bought mine off ebay ages ago, was listed as Australian stock...so if you are worried about overseas models just use the advanced search and choose only located in AU...then if it is not stated in the description just ask the seller if its aussie stock...though in most cases ones from overseas work just fine and I don't believe there are any differences (both local and overseas stock are international versions, besides the I9100T for telstra)

Thanks, there's a massive price difference between Australian ($700) and Unmentioned ($550) stock though so if possible I'd just love to make sure it won't turn up in some unheard of language with no way to change it, the wrong bands, restrictions (I know NTT Docomo limit text messages to 160 characters) on the OS or something like that.
so the I9100 stock is all the same with no variations? I thought there were different letters at the end to signify which region they were made for..
Thanks again,
DarkRyoushii
hmm well I got mine for $600...I'm pretty certain they are the international version...as long as it states I9100 and nothing else, it should be fine...also some sellers (eBay shops usually), provide 1 year warranties as well..
EDIT: there is an Australian stock on eBay now for 600 + 15 postage...if you're really that worried I'd recommend you just save yourself the worrying... I'm sure you could message the seller and negotiate for free shipping or something...

That's true Thanks for your help! +1 Thanks to you!
Your biggest concern with ebay is getting scammed, rather than getting a weirdo off-spec unit. As others say make sure it says I9100, and specs make sense (eg. 1.2 dual exynos, 4.3" screen, etc.) If you ended up with a qualcomm unit by accident (and wanted exynos...or vice versa) and your seller is legit they would have to accept return for product not as advertised.
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.
Regards.

you need to find out if your country's uses the same frequency as the Korean model. I know its 2100 for S Korea but there could be more. The reason why Korean is cheaper could be that only S Korea or a few country's is compatible with Korean models.
I'm using SHV-E210S for a week now, so far it works in China, HK, S'pore and Indonesia. So I guess should be not much different from the international version. There are a few issues I discovered with this model.
1. Battery size is smaller than the international version so you may need to buy backup battery from Korea.
2. Unable to upgrade software/firmware unless you use SK Telecom's USIM.
The advantage I found:
1. This Korean model sports 2GB RAM whereas the international model only has 1GB RAM
Anyone knows more? Pls share!
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.

Hi Guys,
The Find X has been released in Australia, and is available from today exclusively at JB Hi-fi. The price is pretty reasonable compared to other markets at $1099aud. JB Hifi gives customers who port their phone number to Telstra in store a $200 gift card towards the phone. Many employer discount programs include JB Hifi discounts. I've just picked up my Find X Bordeaux Red for $849.00. Lemme know if you want any more deets.
Possum.
Is it a global version? There's italian language? In this case can you extract the software or maybe you have a link to the australian oppo website to download it? Thx

Yes. It's global. I just bought it from jbhifi
Is it possible to dump the firmware or something? But damn 850 AUD is really cheap that's like 550 euro's.. only thing holding me back is the China version.. In the Netherlands it will sell for 1000 euros but that's a no no while the Chinese version is around 650 euros. Hopefully we could put the global version on it
Woo-hoo! I've got one coming in the mail
