@ arjun90

Yeah, I get exactly the same message once I have entered the promotion code, and then try and select the COD option. COD option works fine without the promotion code though.
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Ya m also getting same message after entering promotion code.
[Galaxy S II General] parassaxena3:
if i choose cash on delivery then how i hve to pay 1000 rs pre booking price?
[Galaxy S II General] aayushb:
@ arjun90 and Dhruv

I spoke to the infibeam people about this. They told me that once I place an order, even with the promotional code, the full amount shows in their invoice. There are some formalities that they have after that, and because of this, they cant do COD with any promotional code or gift coupon. What now guys? Thanks for the help!!
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
What cant v have COD?
[Galaxy S II General] eRajesh:
Got my Galaxy S2 today from Krishna Telecom, City Center, Kolkata for Rs 30,500!

@ajun90

Does the sales package contains Pouch and 8gb memory card as specified on letsbuy and flipkart.com
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Price on Flipkart increased to 32830.
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
Inspite doing the above, there is no code generated to pay Rs 1000. Infact the email i received mentions the same as the confirmation page-to pay the amount 29400 by wire transfer, cheque, dd. So what happened to COD

I got this message... there is no such option to pay 1000 Rs... Whats next??? :confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
Just got of the phone with Infibeam customer care. They claim (including some senior executive) that once a promo code is used, we no longer have the option of COD. Its only for those who pay the entire amount, they can opt for COD....Makes no sense to me at all.!!
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Read read read! Thank you, =)

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY WORD-TO-WORD. ITS NOT HARD! I UNDERSTAND EVERYBODY IS ANXIOUS.

There are special instructions when ordering

1). When you add the product to the cart, checkout.

2). Confirm your Billing / Shipping Details.

3). Coupon Code SAMS2PROMO

4). CHOOSE Pay By Cash / Check / Bank Transfer / DD

Then you will get an order No.

Now,

WAIT 'TILL THE AFTERNOON, AND INFIBEAM WILL BE SENDING YOU ALL A PAYMENT LINK SO YOU CAN PAY RS.1000

AFTER DOING THIS, YOU PAY THE REMAINDER COST THROUGH CASH-ON-DELIVERY!

YOU WILL GET A CONFIRMATION IN REGARDS TO THIS.

REMEMBER, THIS IS A SPECIAL DEAL, FOR XDA MEMBERS ONLY! THERE IS SOME SEPARATE PROTOCOL TO FOLLOW (Aside from Regular Orders Placed By Other Customers Not Affiliated With Us), AND PLEASE ADHERE TO IT.

YOUR ORDERS WILL BE SHIPPED ON JUNE 9TH / 10TH AND REACH YOU WITHIN 24-48 HOURS. DON'T WORRY. BUY HAPPY!
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Ignore what customer service has to say. Don't call them! Read the special instructions I previously posted. Infibeam is handling our orders differently. WE ARE NOT DEALING WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE. Keep that in mind! Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
Are you kidding me?? If you don't call Selling an item which costs 5$ Retail price for 21$ ripping off then maybe your definition of ripping off is totally different!
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
thanks.i am sure this will calm everybody down.
[Galaxy S II General] Ad-sales:
Since when is selling something at MRP 'Ripping Off'? He is legally allowed to do it.
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
So we shld order now or wait ?
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
Dude the MRP IS 5$! Get your facts straight! He's selling it at 4 times the MRP!
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Disregard that message,

you will be getting further instructions from infibeam later this afternoon. Patience...
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Disregard that message, await further instructions from infibeam in the afternoon. They will tell you to do the following (i've spoken to them):

Read below!

you will pay 1000 rupees first and pay the remaining by cod. You will get the cod option once that formality has completed.
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
There is no such 8GB card included. Samsung is providing a Leather Pouch (Manufactured and Designed Exclusively by Samsung with Genuine Leather- BLACK)

Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Read the previous posts!
[Galaxy S II General] akg42:
Hey what about the pouch ?? Is it included in the sales package?? and 8gb external memory card??
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Order now, wait for Infibeam this afternoon. thank you

[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
Why do you think so??:D
[Galaxy S II General] akg42:
Hey wat about the screen protector. It was part of the deal before
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Just read all the pages, you will know, anyone will know. I bet you can't even read more than 1-2 pages, all the pages involve useless and off topic info...Oh God.
[Galaxy S II General] dilipan:
I m getting it in 30k this evening in delhi n i think now its available it all spice hot spots..thanks to ronak..
[Galaxy S II General] mrigeshgaurav:
@ Arjun: got another email from infibeam, however there is no mention of paying only Rs. 1000. It just provides the details of thr bank account numbers once again and is requesting to make the payment. Is it the same mail you were talking about or need to wait for another email?
[Galaxy S II General] gp_freak:
Yup. i have ordered it even before i have got the SGS2:p

Any idea when you get the shipment ?
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
You have to wait for another email. If it doesn't arrive to you, revert back to me. Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] tarun.nair:
Project 'Acquire SGS2' complete!!

Got my hands on my shiny new SGS2 today. :D :)

Here is a quick review:

1) Dead Pixel Test = DONE. No dead pixels! :)

2) Yellow tint test = DONE. NO Yellow tint :) I checked at this site: http://fiddle.jshell.net/qFxsC/1/show/

3) Pink spot = Not sure how to check that apart from closely observing the photos that I clicked. I did that under different light conditions and i couldn't find anything at all. :)

So all good until now. Phone is really light & super fast. Made some calls, checked the web browser and all is fine. The Oleophobic coating helps in keeping fingerprints off.

I'll post pictures in some time. :)
[Galaxy S II General] androidsos:
Congrats!! How does it feel in-hand. Is it too large?
[Galaxy S II General] gp_freak:
Selling a product at its MRP price is not ripping off. When a product is sold at a price more than the MRP( ie: Maximum Retail Price), then its called as ripping off.
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
In regards to screen protectors!

note: Screen protector will be included at the time your order ships! Don't worry. =)

- cheers
[Galaxy S II General] tarun.nair:
It feels just about right. Any larger and it might have too big (like Dell Streak). I was able to operate the device with just one hand. :)

[Galaxy S II General] tarun.nair:
No! No default card is included. :(
[Galaxy S II General] kk4htc:
No. I ordered from Jaipur at Letsbuy. They have said to dispatch by today evening.
[Galaxy S II General] androidsos:
8GB card

They will ship it with the free accessories later - this is for letsbuy I am speaking.
[Galaxy S II General] kk4htc:

Micro SD Card

Can anyone tell, which Micro SD Card is best for SGS2, in terms of class, speed, brand etc.
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Nope

No it does not.
[Galaxy S II General] androidsos:
I think they will, I remember reading it on their specs. Also, the supposed letsbuy member here said the same, though there is a doubt regarding that member's veracity.
[Galaxy S II General] tarun.nair:
Sent you details via PM! :)

A deal in hand.

Hi everyone, I have been following this thread for a long time and this is my first post. I contacted a dealer and he said the phone was readily available. The price is Rs.30500. Also I am troubled because the HDMI adapter, which would be very useful for me, and the screen protector are not included. Is this a good deal? Also for those who want to buy, this dealer is in chennai and the stock arrived only this morning. I also want to add that I want to know if buying from here is good or from letsbuy is.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] kk4htc:
Screen of SGS S2

I have one serious question about the screen of SGS II.

As we know the screen has gorilla glass panel, so it is very hard to ge scratch. But the same panel in on Nokia N8. My cousing got "easy scratches" after removing the protector. Now I told him, this glass is scratch proof in normal use, but he got "easy scratches" meaning he has not mishandled it.

So, if gorilla glass panel is not very hard to get scratched, I feel it is really important to get screen protector right now.

What all the current owners are doing.

Please share.
[Galaxy S II General] kk4htc:
It is not very attractive deal. I advise you to wait till 9th June.
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Confirmation-- Thank you! =)

Thanks for confirming buddy! :)
[Galaxy S II General] kwokwchoy:
s2 has the oleo coating on top of the gorilla glass, which gets scratched instead of the actual glass.

hence it is advisable to put on a screen protector.
[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
Just got one mail for the first order... waiting for the second mail... :D
[Galaxy S II General] akg42:
I got the link too.. :)
[Galaxy S II General] srinivas.d:
I spoke to my frnd (he is a samsung employee) he is saying that the devices which can come under employee discount will be listed in their internal site bust SGSII is not listed since it is new one. It will take at least 2 months(roughly he is also not sure abt the period) for this device to get added into the list. As per the earlier messages in this thread I thoght may be some other employee procedure might be their which my frnd might be not aware of.
[Galaxy S II General] vtlrockz:
Thanks for the quick reply. But I also want to add that I will get busy in a few days and it would be really nice to get it immediately. Also can u tell the reason why the deal isn't pleasing.
[Galaxy S II General] buBleZ:
Got mine ordered in Letsbuy in the afternoon. Still they need to ship HDTV adaptor.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Hello All,

Finally back from Mumbai. Nasty weather there... Anyway, I have been trying to catchup with all the discussion on the forums.

I am glad Arjun has been able to fill in the void and has been able to provide you the details necessary to purchase from Infibeam.

If you have any questions, please drop me or Arjun a PM and we will get back to you right away.

Thanks All.

Enjoy the SGS II.

P.S, Dont forget to PM us your order details SO we can TRACK your purchase and make sure billing and shipping is done correctly.
[Galaxy S II General] aayushb:

You can deposit the cash/ cheques / demand drafts directly into one of our bank accounts below -

Bank Name	Account Number	Account Name	Branch

ICICI Bank	00********	NSI Infinium Global Pvt. Ltd.	Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad. Gujarat. India - 380015.

I know I will get the confirmation email for the Rs. 1000 preorder payment, but damn its so hard to keep patience!!:p

@ Arjun and Dhruv,

Hats off to you guys for having so much patience with everyone. I would have flipped and broken my laptop. :D
[Galaxy S II General] dullguy:
Can you please share the following info:

1. When did you pre-order?

2. When did you give the follow up order?

3. When did you get the information about shipping?

I am still to receive any shipping information, though I ordered on 26th afternoon and the follow up order was done on 2nd Jun about 8:30 AM.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S II General] hawkice:
Oh ok ok, if in chennai u can get it redeemed @Samsung Plaza in Express Avenue and the dealer said it would around 20-25% discount, but this wait period even i'm not sure of...

Personally i'm trying to get this coupon & to avail this discount but the wait for 1-2 more months is absolutely intolerable :eek: :( :mad: so i'm confused to go with what offer... :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] amjath:
I'm still waiting for the coupon dude once it comes ll ask the dealer thoroughly about redeeming. Fingers crossed. U got it???
[Galaxy S II General] hawkice:
Not yet, probably this week i'll get it...

All the best, & if u do get it discounted then its double gr8 :D
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
@Dhruv. While ordering , the infi page mentions shipping date as the 13th. Is that true or will our phones ship on the 9th itself
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Be rest-assured, the device will be shipped out from infibeam's warehouse on june 9th/10th and reach you within 24-48 working hours. - cheers! :)
[Galaxy S II General] deepsleo:
bought probably the first S2 from and in chandigarh.....yippeeee bye bye my SGS for a few days :-)
[Galaxy S II General] kk4htc:
IMMEDIATELY, If u can't wait for it, I advise to buy. I have done the same. I feel to have it early also matters. It is just if you can wait and want some price benefit, the price is high. The Infibeam price is 28000 and you are buying for 30500 so net Rs. 2500 extra. So decide what u seem right for you. Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
aaaaa payment transaction problem :(

One reason I hate these online stuffs.... but i cant live without it :D anyway eagerly waiting for them to revert the money or give me a payment confirmed transaction...

my wait is even longer now...

LETSBUY

The so called LETSBUY person is not posting anything today. I guess he or she was using fake ID for Letsbuy.:)
[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
Thts it.. It seems he/she works for letsbuy at weekends only...Lol... Sure its a fake one... :mad::mad:
[Galaxy S II General] deepsie:
Are you sure??? My friend from Samsung told me that you can only buy mobile which is <15k for using the employee voucher (25% discount)
[Galaxy S II General] kk4htc:
Letsbuy shipping

They have started to ship some phones today and sent SMS (not to me:mad:

Someone on facebook profite of Letsbuy confirmed. I pre ordered on 25th May and paid balance on 3rd June. Still no shipping details. Any guesses here..
[Galaxy S II General] ujwols:
As far as I know the employee discount is applicable only for phones with MRP < 20,000. I know this from one of my friend in Samsung who is currently in a senior profile. So most likely, the employee discount WILL NOT be applicable for SGSII
[Galaxy S II General] srinivas.d:
I think if it is at least 10%-15% it will be the best pricing. But Is it possible to Employee discount right away are do we need to wait for couple of months ?
[Galaxy S II General] hawkice:
I guess that must be the case since i have not personally spoken with my friend's friend...

If that is case then its no use waiting for the discount, i'll have to get it through some other means...
[Galaxy S II General] wackyguy_07:
That letsbuy ID was made just yesterday or day before.. I'm pretty sure its fake.. And the only posts have been on this thread i think..
