I can't wait to get this device looks awesome!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Salvador:
They updated the shipping date from the order status page on their website. I think it's not 100% sure but I will email them.

Yesterday I contacted them and they told me it should arrive soon, but he didn't tell me an exact date. Now they've set the date at week 18/19, just like all other shops did.

Anyway I will email them to ask if they can assure me that this date is correct.

the phones are currently backordered and they're waiting on the supplier to deliver the phones. They expect to get them in stock at may 6th and they will ship on the same day.

So it's all estimations, nothing is certain yet.

they've had it in stock several times in the last two weeks... but it is not amazon, since it is sold through hardwareversand.de, which does not look like a serious seller. There is no chance to have it in stock so early...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master05:
I ordered several times from hardwareversand.de when I need components for my computer, they are trustful but I doubt they have the phone in stock I guess it was a mistake and those other guys who ordered last time it was available some days ago won't get it aswell.

Samsung Galaxy S2 gets early UK release date

Phones 4U gets the jump on the new dual-core wonder

Phones4U has announced that it will be the first mobile retailer to offer the Samsung Galaxy S2.

The dual-core handset will hit Phones4U stores and online on 27 April, giving the retailer an exclusive headstart in selling the much-lauded handset.

It's a little funny, i ordered the 7.April same place,same price, but shipping date is 4. May.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarsh11:
I tried using Google Translate to translate the page but I dont see the part where they say its available. I can't make heads or tails of that page, also it says 575€ and I am not from EU so would that mean I would get it for about 500€?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touness69:
Well, first it is already gone you've been too slow :p so no chance you can get that offer anymore and for the explanation see:

BEFORE I ORDERED (the dealer is here) :

and

AFTER I ORDERED I.E NOW (the dealer disapeared):

and

So that proves that they really have got TWO GSII in stock and they really sold them, and I'm one of the two :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flooki:
I'm German and they don't have it in stock (anymore?) - it says that it'll be ready for shipping in 4 to 5 weeks. Also, the price is 545,90€ now.

handtec will get it the same day as well.... exclusive headstart my ass... they prolly paid them for this article
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master05:
:D

I ordered at Amazon.de and if things don't change I'll get it the 21st of may :(

It seems that I'm not in the first "delivery-wave" as my friend is supposed to get it a week earlier from amazon :mad:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demiourgos:
I see everybody is fighting for earliest date, but tell me please

where can I find it in the best price? (and posting inside UE)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Death666Angel:
Just a quick fyi from me:

Since amazon.de lowered the price from when I originally ordered, I have cancelled and redone the purchase. My delivery date dropped from the 16th to the 25th. :) If it stays like this I might get the phone from somewhere else 10 days earlier if the price is right and the shop is trustworthy.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master05:
Never cancel your order at amazon just for the price drop, you can always send them an email shortly before the phone's release (f.ex. 1-2 days early) about the price drop difference and ask nicely(!) for them to refund you because otherwise you could always cancel your order and re-order it for the lower price. This way you can save them the trouble sending the phone to you and recieving it back some days later which costs them money and time aswell. Amazon is very costumer-friendly accommodating so you don't have to fear anything :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixstring:
I did exactly the same :( wonder if the delivery date will change again....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chainfire:
My dealer says 509 euro (Netherlands only), but doesn't know shipping date for sure yet - "early May" is as close as he can get. He hopes to be able to tell me an exact date before the end of the week :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Salvador:
which dealer?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Death666Angel:
Honestly, I've been busting my ass of with a change concerning my ISP and I haven't been in the mood for nice support emails. This way was quicker and the 9days extra aren't that big of a deal in the end. :)

Can't seem to find the payg option on the phones4u website, only contract options.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Its because Phones4U are a charlatan company that only likes to deal in contracts. And they will only sell offline if its a big store...

They really are a joke company. I bought a Desire HD from them wehn it was first released and they had stock in a store but would not exchange a faulty phone for a new one as they wanted to sell that phone with a contract... Thay are underhanded snake charlatans;P

Rant over....

Just wait for CPW to put their prices up for PAYG, should be up very soon;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madpete:
Guys, with regard to those of you who are hoping to get their phones early through Handtec (and this will probabley apply to the others too) its not going to happen.

I realised yesterday that if Handtec dispatch the order on thurday 28th as they say they will, fri 29th is a bank holiday in the uk, then its the weekend, then Monday 2nd is also a bank holiday. Meaning the earliest next day delivery is 3rd May.

I contacted Handtec to ask if it was possible to pay to upgrade my delivery option to Saturday 30th, here is their response:

"Thanks for your email,

With regards to this the item is due with us on the 28th however we are still awaiting confirmation of this but if this is confirmed we will only be able to have the item with you after the 1st May, this is the date given by Samsung for the release of the Handset and we would be unable to have the item with you sooner than the 1st.

Kind regards."

So there you go, Samsung says after the 1st May and thats it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Salvador:
There's a Dutch shop that claims to have them in stock. Someone on a Dutch forum already bought one, it should arrive tomorrow.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brambo84:
And just now someone replied that it is an error they made. I guess we have to wait a little longer...

Edit: to slow...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Which is what I have been saying all along in another topic but members chose to have other opinions, so I gave up trying to explain.

I know for certain this phone will not be going anywhere in the UK until the 1st May.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Salvador:
there seemed to be a misunderstanding, though the person who actually bought one, also called the webshop and they assured him (by confirming multiple times that it really was the i9100) that the phone was in stock.

Anyway, it seemed to be a too-good-to-be-true story.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turt:
Phones4u claims the Galaxy S II is "Available Now", so it's even earlier than what they had previously announced (April 27)...

http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_contract_details.asp?ItemKey=519740
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turt:
Just to show the difference, earlier today it stated "Pre order" and "Delivery on 27/04":

So is it really available NOW?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Broomfundel:
I gave in and ordered from them earlier, but if they have the stock, and send it out right now. Then I might get it Sat. (Long shot I think.) Otherwise it would be 26th due to bank holidays anyway. Still Ill update when I get the sent email, and also of course if and when it turns up.

Just got off the phone to the O2 upgrade team - the SGSII is availeable from them from the 28th to order either online or over the phone..... Order and shipped same day, but delivery not expected before the 3rd, a lucky few may get delivery on the Saturday but cant guarantee!!!!

Shame I cant pre order on an upgrade.....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
It is NOT available now from Phones4U I just rang them, they said it will be available from the 26th, only on contract and for sim free we would need to check online, we can pre order the contract phones for direct delivery from warehouse.

They said for stock info you'd have to find out on the day...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kozzman1983:
Yeah i just got off the phone with them too, they said they DONT have it now (very misleading), and all orders placed on internet come locked, the only way for sim free unlocked phones is from the stores themselves. I heard from another site that it'll be £499.99 but according to the sales advisor they havent had confirmation on the price yet.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jazazze:
So they will actually be selling this sim-free on Wednesday?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
I believe phones4u did say Delivery on April 27th, so I would assume so that you should see it then or a day after.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bart1981:
I just bought mine yesterday for €489,00 (and €7,50 for inshured shipment).

Hi Mansoor,

If you could hold off and or cancel your order, a few people from Ahd are going looking to group buy this. It might be significantly cheaper (28K INR or so)

I will have more detail on Monday.

hi dhruv,

i am from maharashtra & hantec has already charged my card...coz they are saying that item will be shipped on 28th april & i will get it within 2 to 5 days via DHL... one question i didnt made such a big purchase internationally previously, so i am worried about the delivery of product to my home... i live in aurangabad maharashtra.....do u have any idea??

& thanks for ur offer really appriciate it....but i think i will stay with my order
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
I saw your status that said Abad so I figured it was Ahmedabad. I am not quite sure what the process is but I believe the device will arrive at Mumbai Customs and then you might have to pay some Import duty. It is usually 4% and they release the device to you right away. I dont think you will have to go there, but DHL should take the responsibility to do so.

Please call up DHL in India and inquire, it would be the best suggestion anyone could give.

Also let us know what DHL says.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mansoorkasmi:
had a talk with DHL people - they say that they are not sure about the custom duty, they say that its completely upon the custom people to charge or not & if they charge then they only decide how much it is, but he asured me that DHL will pay any custom duty that is upto 30,000 INR & we have to pay it to them at the time of delivery....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
Sounds good, Thats what I figured. Since DHL has fronted the cash, they will be knocking at your door soon after to collect ;)

Its normally 4% in electronics according to Ahmedabad Customs Office.

Good Luck ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
Alright, Let me just get a few things known.

This is not an official Group Buy so its not really open to all, I have 4 Co Workers who are looking to purchase this unit, but perhaps more sales might = higher discount, IF NOT then atleast faster delivery.

Since we work in the same building as A SOURCE, they stated that they will give us a Good discount. Strangely enough, we are looking to purchase many devices from them for office purposes and it will be a large quantity order.

I have a meeting on Monday to talk costing for the official devices and will also inquire about the discount rate on a larger number of the SGS II purchases. So far, they have stated casually,"20%" or so. I am heading back to the States in June or so and want this beast before then. Otherwise Ill have to wait for July / Aug for it to show up in the U.S.

You can PM me to chat further.

Edited For Multiple Reasons. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mansoorkasmi:
4% custom duty if applicable then, 4% octria appicable in my city.....where the final cost is going....but i am so desperate for the handset... so it was hard to wait...

@dhruv - are u planning to buy one??
