If I ordered a SGSII off Amazon in the US, what region would it be coded with? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since US isn't an option, according to Check FUS. I will be returning my phone and want it to be in the closest condition of what I ordered it.

Well im going off your title. If you order a mobile off of amazon it will be international and unlocked.

As long as there is a working ROM on it, I doubt very much that anyone checking the return is going to make a fuss about it.

Lovely, this forum won't let me post the direct link because I'm new.
So, google "best buy transformer TF201-B1-GR" and the first link should be it.
hurry!
Nowinstock.net emailed the link to me. Go to the site.
Edited the link. Still in stock.

I wish they would get the docks in. The wait for 1/5 is killing me inside.
me too i want one so bad!
Cool, had two gift cards for BB. Unfortunately, we pay tax here unlike Amazon... Now for the keyboard...
I think Office Depot is listing them as in stock as well right now again.

id like to know about this as well.
odd that they are back up in stock... theyve been out for a few days, i bought mine on friday and just got my tracking number this morning
Got one too. Express shipping. I've been going through this since November. Amazon cancelled, best buy back ordered so I went back to amazon... then today nowinstock.com sends me the txt. Hope its true because my amazon pre order says 1/27 - 2/4. Please post when you get a shipping confirmation. Thanks!

ordered. Should be here on the 3rd or 4th
Canceled my first pre-order, but just ordered another one. I chose the free shipping, and it states that I will receive it by 1.9.12. The reason I wanted the slowest shipping, is I want to give BB as much time as possible to get it in store should I have any issues with the tablet and it can go back to the store.
did you guys get charged as well? Best buy might just charge whether they have them in stock or not...office dept didnt charge me yet, nor did new egg but i canceled that one today
verified showing in stock still

My BB card was charged immediately.
I saw that link over the weekend, ordered it on Sunday morning, and it just arrived. Did the update and all is good so far. Wifi seems to be working, but flash isn't with some apps. I suspect it's the same permissions problem that phones have and it can't be fixed until it's rooted.

Something wrong with i777

Resently i decided to buy used i777 at ebay. While was purchasing 'new' device, i found out that almost all esed ones are previously repaired. Have you got any information what is wrong with it?

How to know your note is brand new and not refurb

ideas.............
It's too new for there to be refurbished devices in stock. So new, in fact, that a customer with an online ordered phone who came into our store last week was told that in order to get a warranty-provided phone, they'd have to place a $650 hold on a credit card till they received the defective phone.

that makes sense yes, I remember I saw a refurbished one on ebay but I guess that must have been the int'l one lol. I see you work at att, is there any code, key combination which tells you how long the note has been used for or nah?
None that I'm aware of.

Importing to USA

So I'm planning on importing a Z2.
I'm on AT&T, are there any unforeseen consequences to doing this?
I just want to make sure I don't screw myself.
Thanks in advance.

I did it and it was painless. I had my concerns but someone on another forum recommended a reputable dealer "e-bagel-tw" on eBay. He accepted my "best offer" price and the shipping was free. Since it's an international phone, it has to have AT&Ts LTE enabled after you get it. Some people have been panicking thinking they're stuck with 3G, but it's perfectly compatible once you download and install the right files.

I can confirm that ebay seller "e-bagel-tw" is legit. I ordered my purple z2 from them and had it in my hands in 2 days from Taiwan to U.S. Phone has worked flawlessly for the 2 weeks I have had it.

Do you know a reliable source for these files? Just getting my ducks in a row.
I'm also on AT&T. I will say that I'd you don't already have the correctly enabled sim card, the system will give you a 3G only one of they enable the Z2 in your account. I had to go back and get them to fake the system into thinking I siding a different model so that it would provision LTE on my account.
Other than that, turn on LTE in the settings and use the system software to download the Internet settings and you're golden.
FYI, I dealt with the same seller and have the same comments about how great he is.

I wish I was paying more attention at the time. I took the phone to a local AT&T device support location in NYC when I realized I was not receiving data. The tech there couldn't figure it out at first either which is when mild panic started to set in and I backed off to let him fiddle with it. Eventually, he had a eureka moment when he stumbled upon a setting that required the download of a little file that allows the phone to connect to US LTE carriers. AT&T was one of the choices. Now in my phones settings: tools...wireless networks...more...internet settings...accept...and one of the three choices is ATT.
I'm going to order one as well. Probably will use the same seller.

If I buy a brand new S4, will it be MDK?

I was asking one of the best buy guys, and he seemed to think it would be on original software. I could always return it if it wasn't, but does anyone know off hand if new, unopened merchandise has been updated?
Very doubtful. But I read somewhere in here that the software version will be on a sticker on the bottom of the box. The one with the barcodes and such

Yes, the box has the revision level.
No, you won't likely get MDK, unless your local BB has been sitting on those phones for a very long time.
