I didn't buy it from mobilecity, but it should be the same one (the one listed as quad-band 3G).

Doesn't seem to be any conclusive evidence as to when this particular model is going to be out, but I'll let you know if I get mine first.

yeah, they're all the same, but that's the only place i know of located in the US so shipping isn't outrageous.

where did you purchase from? if you don't mind me asking

I preordered from NegriElectronics.com.

I actually got it cheaper initially, over a month ago, but after announcements had been made of changes they raised the price. Mobilecity is actually cheaper than NegriElectronics now lol.

oh damn lol thanks!

Yeah... the waiting has been killing me... Pre-ordered on the 24th of March lol...

wow that is a while ago! i'm hoping that online retailers get it by mid may, mid june at the latest.

 

[nomnompie]

I'm hoping it's Mid May the latest ... Mainly because I'm coping with an HTC Hero running a somewhat buggy 2.3.3 rom.. The Hero just feels slower and slower every day I have to wait!

heh yeah that's pretty old skool right there man. i'd be more likely to buy a temp device lol

 

[nomnompie]

I actually thought about it numerous times but if I did that I'd lose a bit of money in the end most likely and negate the money saved by preordering so early..

Just gotta keep our minds preoccupied till then I guess..

Anybody get theirs from MobileCityOnline yet? I had to cancel my Negri Electronics pre-order as I did not realize their policy was that if you pre-order and the price goes up, they do not honor the original pre-order price, and I can't afford 800 for a phone lol..

I pre-ordered from MobileCityOnline, late I know, but it's listed as 700 instead of 800.. I don't expect to be one of the first, but I know for a fact that Negri Electronics got their first shipment last Friday and shipped them Monday (yesterday). MobileCity however still says pre-order..

 

[edward90]

From what I understand mobilecityonline won't be getting any til the end if may..and who knows how many units they'll get..so it could be awhile

 

[nomnompie]

Wow... that is really a shame...

I was actually the very first in line at Negri, but when I found out it was up to 800 bucks, I just couldn't do it lol... I'm not even happy about 700 but I know technology isn't free..

Apparently MobileCity doesn't have as many friends as NegriElectronics, lol. Negri I think had another small shipment today as it was in stock for a bit and then backorder again. That's too bad.

i'm okay with that. gotta replace some windows in my house and take care of some other stuff before i can throw down $700 for it. will be late july or some crap before i can actually buy it. by then, they'll def have stock

I pre-ordered from Mobicityonline too.

But, I got mine at unlocked-mobiles.com

What a great deal, they sell it international for a VAT-free purchase. I paid about $680 for mine

Wow..has it already been delivered? Can I trust this site? Feel uneasy about spending 700 dollars with an over seas company with no toll free number to call..

 

[leightos]

well... all I know is that I got mine 2 days ago. I'm in Australia.

I pre-ordered. I think they have a back log where a 2nd shipment will go out Friday.

I suspect if you are in the US, this is your best option. Not only is it cheaper, its faster. Usually you give up one or the other. It's a lot of money.

Good luck

MobiCity(au) and MobileCityOnline (com) are not related

 

[nomnompie]

Hm, seems to be pretty close to the same price or a bit more with the shipping added, plus a currency conversion fee on the credit card most likely..

The one thing I do like though is that they say when they're getting them... MobileCityOnline has not emailed me back yet and it's been about 12hrs since I emailed them. NegriElectronics was very easy to get an answer from. lol... almost thinking it would've been worth the extra money.

 

[rldev]

Why not expansys?

 

[nomnompie]

more money and they arent getting another shipment till the 25th according to them.

 

[rldev]

What do people do about warranty? What if something is wrong with the phone?
Will Samsung honor the warranty? This is really the only thing holding me back.

 

[edward90]

My unit is being shipped tomorrow from mobilecityonline ..i'll get it friday..
