Not sure where I can buy the sealed unlocked phone legit in order to retain the Samsung warranty.
I had a friend who bought i9100 from a sketchy shop and he had to ship it to the UK for service as advised by Samsung US. Shipping cost him an arm and leg.
Help =(
Could buy direct from Samsung mate

I'm on the Samsung site now and there is no buy button on the S3 page, only a "Where to buy" one that is greyed out, doesn't go anywhere.
I'll sell you mine! I'm from Ontario. PM me if interested.

Dude. You're never gonna get Canadian warranty for i9300, sealed or not.
It's not sold by samsung Canada, therefore no Canadian warranty.
You want warranty, buy from Canadian providers i747m lte model. That's it.
Waiting for JKay mod on GT-I9300

And the ATT version is only $549!!
All of a sudden NewEgg has the International version for $800!!! I paid $649!
I may get this one to replace the wife's Captivate. She doesn't use much data. I have to have the Unlocked one for the $10 unlimited data plan as long as it lasts.
Buying the international version anywhere in the U.S. means it has no warranty. Clove has it for 395GBP ($615) delivered and it retains the 2-year global warranty since it was purchased in its country of intended sale. Expansys USA has it for $595 delivered and they provide warranty support by sending it to their UK branch for service should it need it.
Walmart has it in stores for $520 off contract.

If you want international version eBay is your best bet. They sell it around $550 with free shipping.

You can get an international SGS2 from an amazon reseller for $550, so it's not like $550 for the ATT version is amazing. I've seen it on Newegg for under $600, and right now Newegg also has the white version for $600. So tempting...

Hey guys,
I lost my phone in Paris around 3 weeks ago while I was on a group tour of Europe. I am still waiting for my tour manager to send me a lost property form (as the French police wouldn't give me a lost/stolen report within 24 hours) and want to buy another phone. I am in London at the moment and am looking to buy a new Galaxy S2. I was wondering if all Galaxy S2s are the same – as I want it to work on the Vodafone network in Australia (Melbourne). I'm guessing I am likely to find a GT-I9100 (and not a GT-I9100T, as I had previously).
So the question is, will any Galaxy S2 work on the Vodafone network in Australia or do I have to buy a specific model (i.e. GT-I9100T)?
Thanks,
Jack.
Should do, yes. Will have to be unlocked to work on Australian networks though.
if both are gsm and if its unlocked ,then yes.
just go for the international version of i9100 , you should be ok.
since you are buying an international model with (non carrier locked) should work with any networks, no need of any unlocking.
I can confirm the opposite worked for me, lost my phone due to a night out in Melbourne on the Absinthe, bought a new phone out there and used it back in the UK after getting it unlocked no problems (On Telstra in Aus > T-Mobile UK)
But as others have said, fairly sure most models you get here are unlocked due to the international model.
Are you going to buy from somewhere like Carphone Warehouse/shop, or eB*y? You can get sGS2 off there for £260-£280 at the minute.
Why don't you wait two weeks and buy the s3!?

and how much that would cost? just for my knowledge if you know that
he got other options but all require some money spent...
hello, I would say how to buy a galaxy SHV-E210K in korea from italy, and if it can be used here. thanks a lot
easiest would be having some contact in korea who can buy it for you. if you're desperate enough like some iphone user who bought iphone 5 from australia, you can go korea and buy one.
otherwise, i'd say just wait for the intl lte version to be released. they have the same specs. probably the safer option too if you want any kind of after service

I have a s3 that I originally got from att. I got it unlocked and have been using it on Cincinnati bell. Well I called Samsung last night because the latch that holds the back on Brooke so I asked if they could send me a new one (just the back). They said they couldn't because this model is the European model and they don't support it. wth!!!! I told them I bought it at a us store.and he said too go back there. But they only have a 14 day watery and u have to still have service with them. Has any one else had this issue with Samsung turning them down. I talked to a tech and a manager. Do I need to tall to a special department

The store where you bought it from should provide the back and cover warranty for the phone. As it is imported Samsung USA can`t help you. Seems obvious to me to be honest Good luck.

Not imo, they should send you the back you need. This has nothing to do with software.
FYI, a new back is around $15 on ebay
If I were to pay "full price", as in $600-$650 or whatever, what is usually the best place to buy the phone, when something like warranty is considered?
Looks like Best Buy and Amazon don't sell it.
I'm considering getting the TMO S5 to use on my AT&T plan (grandfathered unlimited data).
If the TMO S5 gets TWRP recovery then I'm definitely in.
since you're looking for a TMO S5, have you tried a TMO store?

I don't know if this will help you but I purchased my Note 3 from TMOBILE but had to buy a TMOBILE PLAN (they said they couildn't just sell me a phone. So I bought the phone online and when it came in the mail - I cancelled the tmobile data plan aft, before I activated the line. Because I never activated the line, I didn't have to pay any fees - beyond the cost of the phone. The only other thing you have to worry about is getting an unlock code for the phone - Tmobile may or may not give the code to you - in which case you can probably buy it online - or it might be possible that Chain Fires Region Fix will work as well. (that is what happened on the NOTE - the region fix also unlocked Tmobile CARRIER. (it is also possible that secret samsung codes will unlock carrier (The S4 has codes that work for that phone - I don't know if they work on the S5)
I hope this helps... (I think I read that some people were able to buy a phone from TMOBILE for use on ATT and they purchased it directly from the TMOBILE store - but I am not for sure about that. I know that Best Buy will not let you do that.
The code to unlock the phone was fixed in future versions of the software and don't work on the 4.4.2 s4 software.
I doubt that it will work on this one.
If you are going to continue using AT&T you should be able to go into one of their stores and buy one out right.
It shouldn't impact your account if you do.
May as well buy the international version.

Give them time. There are two international versions of the Note 3 out there and the one I have has 4G.
They will appear on Swappa.com soon enough.

Lol.
T-Mobile store will charge full retail.
Dang, does Amazon, BestBuy and no other major retailer out there offer this phone?
I want to stay away from eBay because of warranty concerns.
