Guys, who all have got sgs2 today as promised by handtec in uk ?
R u guys happy with their delivery service ? Why no one has posted their new experience with this phone ?
One strange thing is bugging me, eventhough sgs2 is such a popular device around the world, why handtec still has huge stock left ? Is it because they have too much of stock or no one except few crazy people like me have bought it from them ?
I mean this is very strange for handtec, as new device gets released arlest we have to wait for min 1 month until we get the devices in stock. Atleast that's what happened to me last year when I ordered htc desire...
I guess the reason could be because of the samsung's thoughtful plan of releasing it throughout the world at the same time or around a minimum duration.
Or it might be because of lack of NFC which is preventing people from buying it online from uk ??? I think it's the least cause for the people to do it that way for such a master piece in the whole mobile industry till today....
This is what I guess whenever I see " in stock next day delivery" on their website now....
Anyone could possibly know what's the genuine reason for handtec still having the stocks in ???
no its because handtec is HUGE and they ordered a huge supply..

I just hope there is stock left at the end of the week. Because if AT&T/Samsung do not announce the S II U.S. launch date at their press conference Thursday, I will be ordering from UK.
It sounds like they are launching in 120 countries this week and next so I assume they made sure to have plenty of stock.
Any chance of them reducing the price of sgs2 to promote the sales ?
If it's like that, then I am here to wait for another 2 wks..... You know competition is always good for customer....
Samsung has really done a great job by decentralizing the availability of their master piece till date.....
I think it's foolishness tobexpect the price drop atlasest for another 3 months....
My bad..... I will order for one from them.... It would have been nice if the UK model carried NFC chip along with it.... Too bad that samsung played a dirty trick to boost their sales figures.....
Hmm.... Pls don't repeat this trend samsung.... No one likes it .....
Can we have some unboxing pics & new hands on experience from UK buyers.... Pls many people here like me are dying to see this sexy showing off it's true collies until we all have one in our hands.... Pls.... It's a request to those who have already bought it... Tease us with pics, not by just asking or commenting about new feature or doubts..... We as fed up of seeing those threads with questions about new features & unknown things about sgs2.....
Come on guys..... Do us some favour by posting things what we would like to see here....
it is actually a interesting question, why wouldn't they have stock?
They know how many are pre-ordered and they just got it from samsung, that's it
After all handtec is a big business, I trust their ability to fulfill all pre-orders and having a handful handsets left for sale.
Yeah I hope so.... Over a period of years they must have learnt s lesson on his to stay ahead in the market with many new competitors introduced.....
Actually it's a good thing gig them as well as for us....
I wish they have enough stick till I order one for me from them... way to go handtec.... Keep it up
Also I am dying to see someone post screen shots of unboxing & hands on review pls ... Only pics would suffice our desires to see this beauty flying in colours....
you'll have to wait for tomorrow for that...
They have same day delivery services in uk?

i'm utterly confused by this thread
(,"o Yeah Man ~
All Optimus One Users..
Let each other know why you choose this Handset instead of other High-End Android Device..
So The Question Is..
WHY LG OPTIMUS ONE P500 '?
Well... because probably many of us aren't rich enough to buy a Samsung Galaxy S or S2
BUT aside that obvious financial reason... at the time the conciliation between the pricing AND the phone specs just seemed unbelievable to be true so I took my chances and I'm not regretting at all having this phone! Although I am now tempted to try the Ideos X5, however I am not rich nor can spend more money at the moment so... I'm sticking to my good old fashioned P500
because good price/performance ratio
Best in its price range with hell lot of features
For the price, its basically a g1 w/o the keyboard and has a slightly higher processor. Its not a bad phone

Long Story ^_^
well here's my story.. lol
back in february me and my wife are in hurry buying phone coz we both lost our phone back in november 2010.. we went to a shop near our location and she was in a hurry getting SE X8.. now its my turn to choose what phone should i get
honeslty i dont have anything in mind @ that time' my last high-end device was Nokia N70 hahaha.. then i grab Samsung Wave. first thing i did was go on youtube and watch video' i was a bit dissapointed coz the video was pixelated' i tried to play the same video on X8 and it was not pixelated. Then i gave back the phone to a sales personnel who took care of us. Then i found LG GT540' its pretty fine but i dont like the resisitive touchscreen' and we're running out of time coz its almost 10pm and the shop was about to close. then we went home the other day we went to a mall to buy something (not a phone) then while walking' 1 guy gave us a slip of paper (flyer) and it was an advertisement of LG Optimus One Limited Edition (glossy cover) w/ silicon case & bluetooth headset. Hell Yeah ^_^ the following day i search about LG Optimus One' i found out that its a cheap pretty decent android phone then after a couple of days we went to LG Store and purchased it..
that's my Optimus One Story .. LOL
and im so damn happy how it works now..
im not considering buying another android handset' i am now looking forward to Asus EEPad Transformers ^_^ we'll buy it on December Yeah Man ~
sorry for my english
To be honest I only had cheap flip phones before this one I decided I would spend some money and get a good phone for once. Went to the store, started checking out some phones, took a look at the Blackberry Curve 9300. It was on sale for a good price, and the plans they were offering at the time were good.
Bought the blackberry, found out I hated it after having it for 5 days. I have buddies with androids and they love them. So, back to the store, and I exchanged it for this nifty phone. Best part was that it was 80 bucks cheaper. Now I don't think I'll get anything else, best bang for the buck. I lost my old one and rather than get something different I just bought this phone again.
Then I found this site and now I don't think you could pry my P500 from my cold dead hands.
Thanks XDA for fueling my android addicition
Because my mother only allowed me buy a $0 dollar handset at my Telco. So i picked this instead of galaxy mini

I didn't know much about phones at the time and I just picked this one because I thought I wouldn't need a high end device. It turned out to be an awesome pick and it's a very good phone, but if I had to repick now I would of gotten a higher end phone.
I didn't pick my phone. It picked me!

This is an extra reason for acquired this phone
There was a half-off introductory sale for the Optimus One last year. I read about it and it became a snap decision to get one. Half off was 6500 pesos (around 151 dollars) unlocked. My friend and I went to the mall at 9.30 am (it opened at 10am) and sneaked into an open fire escape / side entrance and sat there until 2pm.
We were the first ones there, even before the employee who opened the store arrived. Then he shooed us away since it was against their agreement with the mall to have a crowd before the actual sale. When 10am hit, we heard a stampede of people running towards the store and before we knew it, we went from first to 17th...
I failed the upcoming exam because we stayed there and couldnt focus on reading. Then I failed the next exam since I bricked my phone within the week of getting it. Good thing the warranty was still there.
This phone is awesome Thank you talented developers of xda for making it super awesome!

I dont know what it is but for some reason I just REALLY want this phone right now. I have to admit when the gs3 was first announced I thought it was the ugliest thing out there. Lately its been growing on me and I just want it very badly right now. I probably seen every unboxing/review video of it in youtube and I constantly check for updates on what the situation on this phone is. What makes matters worst is that i pre ordered this phone on Verizon so i have to wait longer then everyone else to get it. Im just hoping for a stroke of luck that some how The verizon model gets shipped out before the 9th. Anyways am I the only one like this?
i think the hype for this phone has been just so much a lot of people are feeling the same way...
im actually about to return my HTC Evo 4G LTE (which is an AWESOME phone), for putting in my pre-order for the sgs3
the removable, larger batter and the 2 GBs of RAM really have me pumped, plus a lot of cool extra features, gesture controls, etc make this a super exciting phone...

Exactly! lol and i think what sold me the most on this phone is the fact that the battery is gonna be way better then my galaxy nexus so i dont have to worry about it dying all the time. Also all of the other features are just amazing.

lol noooo you're not the only one. I've watched almost every video on youtube.. over and over and over again and finally someone shared a video of the Canadian version which is the same as the U.S. one which I will be getting on June 21st from tmobile I am too too excited! imma have to pay 600 somethin for it.. grrrr
hahaha same, im stalking this phone like a bieber fan.
Yea you're alone. I'm coming from an Evo 4G, and there have been some decent replacements, like the nexus, galaxy S II, but I've been stalking this phone since it was first annouced back before march. I'm with Sprint, so I'll have mine next week. You can live vicariously through us.
Waiting on a pre-order is worse than simply waiting for release in my opinion, since the money is already gone from my account, but no phone in hand. Reading about how much the international people are enjoying theirs already makes it even harder.
You are not alone. I am also very excited for the S3!!! Then again I have an X2 so really any phone is looking good to me right about now lol!
I'm pretty blown away by the specs of the S3 and if I don't have to pay full price for it, I'll probably get it. Does anyone know if I would still have to pay full retail price for the S3 if I upgrade my contract before the 28th and lock in another 2 years unlimited data?? On Verizion, obviously...

I am glad I am not the only one who feels this way. I think Samsung should start doing their press release events the day before release because making us wait this long is simply unfair. I am secretly hoping that my carrier will call me today and say 'we got a stack of phones in early, would you like to pick yours up early?' LOL. Seriously, I know once I have the phone a while the novelty will wear off a bit but I want it now. And its not like my SGS2 is not a good enough phone or won't hold me over for another year. Do we need help or are just simply victims of marketing?? haha
And now it looks like the Canadian release date has been increased another week to the 27th.
I can't wait either cuz I'm not rooting this evolte since its temp so I want my permanent gs3 yeah buddy.
I thought I was the only one... I thought this was the ugliest phone, but it some how has grown on me, a lot, like I haven't been this bad since the first iPhone came out (everyone was going crazy about it)... and the fact that I haven't seen any U.S variants is driving me nuts...
Lol same here, I almost bought the international version a few days ago to use on AT&T. *Patient running on low*
Im watchin youtube videos of the s3 on my evo lte drooling over the s3 lol

Currently waiting for my S3 from Verizon also and going crazy but over the last couple days it seems that I'm phasing it out more and more. I was going crazy at first and now I'm just like whatever when it comes it comes especially with no solid release date, I've heard so many 6/28, 7/9, 7/10 all I know is that its pre ordered and I'll be in the first batch of shipments whenever it happens.
This is not just a phone - Galaxy Nexus

Just a phone dude. And like all android phones that get rooted, you never find it perfect because you keep flashing and flashing until some other phone comes out and you feel the need tio get rid of the one you have.
I'm on here like 100+ times a day among every other site that I can find info. I even went and did a recon on a T-Mobile store to find the best tactical advantage for me to get my phone first. Crazy!

Watch the review videos by phonedog the gs3 looks amazing.
Well if you wanna call it a place holder thread then so be it !
Also if this doesn't comply with any rules - feel free to delete it straight away !
But if this stays - LETS CHAT !
hows the development looking on it
Nothing so far
But its too early to call
Thread wasted i suppose
Once people get the phone and head to the forum, I think it will pick up

Triple post dude? And you have an obnoxiously long sig. Talk about abusing this thread...
I'm so antsy to pick this up. Hopefully I'll be first at the door when the Verizon stores opens next Wednesday. I'm too impatient to wait for the mailman to show up. I waiting outside for the Thunderbolt on release day and it's finally time to replace it. I'll really miss the kickstand though, and it seems backwards going from 8GB+32GB down to 16GB while at the same time losing my Unlimited data plan for a tiered (going with 6GB shared) data plan....
I'm honestly most excited about NFC and Wireless Charging. I've been dreaming up an arduino powered door lock that uses a key + OTP (NFC) to unlock but my biggest hold point was no NFC devices to use.
Also, I hate the term "phablet". I consider the DNA a large phone, not really a tablet at all.
Oh and 1080p wallpapers... I think it's nuts that a 5" screen on my phone will have the same resolution as my desktop monitors (and my home theater projector).
this actually has a larger resolution than my 20 in dell monitors and far more than my 12.5 in laptop
Wonder how long it will take for unlocked versions to come up
The ratio of angry HTC fanboys complaining about other people complaining about the battery, to actual people complaining about the battery, seems high. Nothing unexpected from a specific device forum on xda, however.
I'd like to cmoplain about the battery, to even out the ratio.
The battery suX0rz! HTC FAIL!
International version deluxe is also coming
Im getting mine January, gotta keep doing these surveys for amazon credit ha
Initial enthusiasm died or what ?
Ill bring it back! I always liked checking the off topic thread in the Rezound forum.

So forgive me if this is obvious and I am missing something, I have been out of the Tech loop for 2 years now. This phone caught my eye as I want to get back into a phone I can mess around with OSs on and such, plus a KEYBOARD!! But anyhow, my question is what is the difference between the Pro1 and the Prox1X? I am really struggling to see anything. I see there is an 6 and 8gb ram version of the pro1x but only a 6 gig pro1 it seems? But otherwise it seems things are about the same, can someone help me see what I am missing before I buy?
There is almost no difference, only more RAM, storage, the ability to pick between having Ubuntu or Lineage preinstalled, and of course the color

Honestly, the PinePhone Pro is a seriously BETTER contender.
The OG PinePhone was a solid Linux phone for the price. Specially considering it was their first run at a phone.
FxTec?
With their "diverse portfolio" on mobile security and blah blah blah...
It's honestly a joke now.
I stand behind my statement previously made: I feel very bad for XDA exec's.
Clearly they had a metric **** tone of sunshine blown up their ass, and I don't think FxTec's ass can cash the cheques it's mouth has written.
XDA has always stood for right to repair, FULL device ownership, and honest reporting, all the while offering a stellar community of (mostly) helpful like-mindeds, and access the largest repo of android development in the solar system!
I truly do hope, in the not too distant future, XDA partners with a outfit that can get just ONE product from design, to release without enormous, unexplained delays, and actually DOWNGRADING what the us early birds had already paid for, and where promised.
Anyone else hoping for the same thing from XDA??
