well hopefully you didn't pay for it yet since now its removed from ebay for some reason

 

ok I found it. Your link is not right but the item number works
$882 seems like bigtime $$

 

Jeez, even considering how awesome my Galaxy S2 is, I'd never pay that much money for it.

 

You'll have to report your results once it arrives good sir, as I was hoping to do the exact same thing. 8D

Also I can't see the S2 being $950 here, as the iphone 4 wasn't that much, nor the Atrix. If the price differences is so vast, I may just be getting an Atrix, as $750 outright is where I draw the line.

Keeping in mind, a premium must be paid to have something in advance, like you said, won't be released until Q3, worth the $850+ imo

 

lol i paid less that $600 for mine, that is loads!

 

Please let me know where you got if for $600. Please pm if you don't want to post it here.

 

I got mine for free on contract, I pay the equivalent of $40 a month for 1200 minutes, unlimited internet, and unlimited texts.

If I bought the handset up front, and then paid for credit myself each month, it'd cost LOADS more than that, hence wouldn't be worth it.

 

I'd like to know where you read that it wouldn't launch until Q4? Because I read that I would launch either late Q2/early Q3

And as a BestBuy mobile salesman, I asked the Bell national retail representative, who played with the phone 2 months ago at a Samsung conference, told me that it would launch some time this summer, likely exclusive to Bell.

So PLEASE, share your links

 

Too much money. You can get it from Expansys USA for $749:
Samsung Galaxy S II Android Smartphone (Unlocked, 16GB) #GT-I910016GB - Expansys USA

Or from Handtec.co UK for the same, and from Clove UK.

Bought mine from Expansys and shipping is free as is the UK to US adapter.

 

expansys is the cheapest indeed. $725 after LSMAY25 coupon is applied, with free shipping. Only other route i'd go is Hantec!

 

You don't have to pay VAT if you don't live in the UK, do you? Cause 430 pounds = $675 Canadian?



Darksky Yeah it sounds like you and I are in the same boat, I'll be looking to order one SOON (also depending on your results with Telus) but I will wait until the NFC chip is in all of them I think =D
Speaking of which, you should check if yours comes with the NFC chip or not..

 

No VAT if you are out of the UK or EU.

 

I may have to order from handtec, $675, I wonder if they ship to Canada..

Damn you foul NFC chip!

 

Handtec and Clove ship to Canada.

 

I'm starting to wonder whether or not this NFC chip is worth it, as well as if I'll want to use it or not..

Does the UK use different power cables by chance, will I need adapters?
Sounds like I can just order from the UK and be as happy as a pig in mud..

 

Yes, the mains adapters are different, you will need an adapter. Expansys includes this with the phone.

 

That place is FISHY as hell. I called them and they told me they would price match at $799 with expansys for $749, but since expansys was out of stock they wouldnt do it. Then I offered to pick the phone up, and they said they "out of stock until wednesday." They just told me they price match, but only on stores with the phone in stock, then they told me they themselves didnt even have stock. Then, i called overseas electronics which is RIGHT NEXT DOOR, and they said they had them in stock. I was getting ready to head out when the guy called me back and said "we are out of stock until wednesday." They also wanted $50 more. IF thats not enough, heres a google maps of popularelect and overseas:

Orange.

Any phone dealership has the Galaxy S2 for free on contract.

samsung galaxy s ii contract mobile phone from phones 4u

That's where I got it from. See, the handset is free on contract, don't be a twat.
