[Galaxy S II General] MrDpak:
Found the below in another Thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=959545&page=118

Also, checkout the video in the quoted link - it has an application called 'NFC Service'
[Galaxy S II General] SohumD:
Just did a sweep of some dealers at heera panna in mumbai, most said next week, one guy said he will get it on the third.
[Galaxy S II General] sharma_sid:
likewise, a dealer in delhi said , the live demo device will be in store from 3rd when vodafone launches the device Globally, the sales stock will arrive by 9th
[Galaxy S II General] MrDpak:
Samsung planned well

Guess everyone was asking why would Samsung release an NFC version in India. Well, think NFC is coming:

"NFC will take off this year"

[Galaxy S II General] sharma_sid:
any update regarding the availability in Delhi ?
[Galaxy S II General] prashanth1990:
what about vodafone??? no offers??? are they selling it for MRP???
[Galaxy S II General] alok_dhawal:
For Arjun90's note:

Infibeam alok_dhawal
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
No, nothing as of yet. Dont feel to edgy, news should come out soon enough. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
The Samsung Galaxy S2 will be exclusively available via Vodafone Stores (Offline and Online, 6-Day Exclusivity) starting June 3rd. Buyers that opt for the Vodafone version and entitled to 1GB Data Plan with the telecom operator free for 6 months!

- Note: The Vodafone version will include a pre-bundled Vodafone application and display branding on some aspect of the phone. For those that are disliking this, wait for the retail unit to show-up on June 9th!
[Galaxy S II General] Shylesh:
What about the speculations of june 1 availability??

Where is the source..Is this the same old source???
[Galaxy S II General] hawkice:
On May 25th i was following androidos.in 's twitter updates min by min from 11.30a.m since he attended the launch event live in Delhi & from what he said, the Vodafone offer is valid as arjun90 said plus it will not be locked & only the box 'll have branding with some apps inside the mobile BUT nothing on the mobile :)
[Galaxy S II General] dilipan:
I just called up the guy at novelty communication in delhi, he said it will be available on 2nd june..
[Galaxy S II General] ronak_1078:
But when i called him he said it will be available on the 1st itself..:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] the0fiskis:
i have a sgs2 and i love it :D

[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
Any update Hyderabad folks?. Looks like we have to wait till 3rd June to get our hands on it.

I never bought anything from ebay...if I use credit card on paypal, will there be any extra charges?.
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
You will not get charged for using your credit card with Paypal on eBay. Make sure you use Paypal only. If you are purchasing from eBay India, better use PaisaPay option. Hope this helps. Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] prashanth1990:
two things i don't want on my SG2. ill wait for 9th!
[Galaxy S II General] MrDpak:
Have a couple of questions for the folks at Bangalore.. Based on past trends,

Do you guys know which Retail Stores would most likely get the Galaxy S II first ?

Would you know if stocks are evenly distributed or unevenly distributed amongst stores?

If they are unevenly distributed, which store(s) get more of a preference?

Just wanting to be prepared if I have to run out the door, to pick one up before they are out of stock.. :D

dhruvmalik & arjun90 : Hope I'm not nagging but, how close are you guys to finalizing that deal with Infibeam ? Or are you waiting to collect a good number of potential buyers first?
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
We are working simultaneously with Infibeam and getting a good number of people at the same time. Infibeam is taking us seriously, and we shall get back to you with some concrete details by tomorrow or Wednesday. We are very close to finalizing something. Infibeam is still working out the kinks with their sources along with accessories. TBA

- Cheers!

guys read this

the galaxy s3 to come early next year

http://www.overclock.net/hardware-news/1029490-rp-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-coming.html
[Galaxy S II General] Ghostbustersin:
I guess you guys must check out this from Mobile Store and they say they have it in stock. Most probably, it just appeared on their site. It wasn't there yesterday. ( Correct me if m wrong! )

themobilestore. in/mobilestore/best-buy/store-price_Buy-1013_shop-3_online-8_latest-1_/Mobile_Phones/Samsung_/Samsung_Galaxy_S2.html

It's available for 31k. Theres nothing mentioned about the in-box contents or NFC anywhere nor do they say anything about the shipping until you complete the checkout. ( Anyone brave enough to put though with the order on that price & info on their site or you want to waste your time calling their Call center at this time to try to get any info this?! :P )

Anyone had any previous encounters with buying on themobilestore? I'll try to talk to them tomorrow morning.

P.S.

Correct the link, m not allowed to post links yet.
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Sweet...

Nice find buddy, hopefully, we will hear something from Infibeam tomorrow then. Be aware, their main warehouses for mobile devices are located in New Delhi itself. This should be a good indicator. - Cheers! =)
[Galaxy S II General] vinaymonu25:
hyderabad

someone here from hyderabad? except shaik786...

And hi to arjun im the same guy who followed your quotes on samsungreview.org, once again gr8 work dude...keep going u ROCK!!!
[Galaxy S II General] ronak_1078:
they have a 24x7 customer support try calling them now?? :P
[Galaxy S II General] vinaymonu25:
there is a dealer in hydbad who told me on 18th of may that s2 will be launched on 25th may but he didnt tell me when will i be able to buy it from him.i thaught hez just lie-ing so that i come 2him to inquire but to my surprise he was right.and now im so busy at my place n work that i cant go to him to ask when he will be able to sell it to everybody...
[Galaxy S II General] vinaymonu25:
still i asked one of my friends to inquire at that dealers shop but i dont trust my friend alot as he himself has a mobile store and wudnt like me 2buy sumwer else...im sure that dealer will be right this time too but how the hell should i ask him :-(
[Galaxy S II General] Ghostbustersin:
BTW, if you closely analyze themobilestore deal, it's pretty mouth watering! It says 31k for Galaxy S2 and you can buy it now.

And there is a site wide clearance sale, for which you will get 5% cashback on any mobile purchase on their site! Now that makes, the brand New Galaxy S2 for only 29.5k. :D ( Plus Consider your Cashbacks on Credit card transactions by your bank as well! :D )

If only, i get any confirmation on when will they deliver, and what will be the inbox contents, i might well switch from Infibeam.

Infibeam got to be much better than this to keep everyone interested with shipping not on 9th for any reason now! ;)

Edit : Here's the catch - "Offer valid for Mobile Store Outlets only in Mumbai and not on Online Purchases " for 5% flat cashback on any mobile.

P.S.

And where is the Vodafone exclusitivity? :P
[Galaxy S II General] angynagpal:

Its too expensive for an average Indian to buy. That is the reason iphone dint sell in India. Average income of Indians is less than 300$ per month. Cheaper version of this phone should be launched.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Let me give you a little bit of clarity here.

We will be posting some information in regards to the "DEALS" we have going on this afternoon.

A notice will be posted which will require those interested to follow specific instructions.

Dont worry all, SOME news is on its way.
[Galaxy S II General] hawkice:
Gr8 news buddy :D
[Galaxy S II General] hawkice:
Galaxy ACE is its smaller brother which u can buy for ~15K
[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
Thts really is a great news Dhruv... :) Im so excited...:D
[Galaxy S II General] manbearpig86:
Also dhruv if possible find out their date of shipping of the device.. :)
[Galaxy S II General] aru1988:
I had a talk with The mobile store guy......he said the phone is not available...becoz there was some prob in the stock so they(Samsung) send it back to korea....so it would be available next week.......and it would show in their website as coming soon. for appx 31k..
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
Mobile stores MRP price is Rs 100/_ more than the actual MRP provided by Samsung... Is that extra 100 bucks supposed to be the shipping cost :P
[Galaxy S II General] Shylesh:
Flipkart kidding!

In Mobilestore.in it was just pre-order and you can see it on the coming soon in their home page!

I've sween this oage before and tried to check out which didn't work at all. and i sent many mails to their customer care and didn't get a reply.

Today,there'll be a shut-down in our city,so that i cant be able to check this thrad as i did for the rest of the month.

I'll be back on 6 in the evening.

Till then, Read this :-(
[Galaxy S II General] mansoorkasmi:
my dealer is telling me that he can deliver the handset on 1st of june, but still i am awaiting for the infibeam deal to happen...lets wait a little
[Galaxy S II General] vinaymonu25:
For us hyderabadi bros Can you find out at that dealers shop when he will be able 2start selling s2...he gets it directly from chennai. Wil giv u his name and address if ur interested to go n check out.im damn sure he will stand by his given date...he gave me the launching date as 25th may some 1week b4n he was right,dis tym too he wil b right.plz can u ?
[Galaxy S II General] Beautyspin:
Sure. Pls give me his Name and Address. I will see if I can go there :) I am guessing you do not have his phone #
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
Just got of the phone with 2 samsung dealers in Mumbai. one mentions the phone will be in next week, the other asked me to call tomorrow evening as he expects the phone to come in by the 2nd. fingers crossed..
[Galaxy S II General] alok_dhawal:
Just a curious question. If someone books a pre-order on Letsbuy.com and opts for a cash on delivery. After that say the infibeam deal or vodafone store launches the phone. can we cancell and not pay the Letbuy.com guy who comes and collects the cash??
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
They will send the person only after you confirm the order. They will ask for confirmation once they get stocks i.e. around 5-6th June.

Till then you can cancel the order. But once you've confirmed, I reckon, cancellation would be a problem.

So don't confirm unless you're absolutely sure.
[Galaxy S II General] vinaymonu25:
faizul communications,chiragali lane,abids. I have there contact no. I called them too but they r not responding well,dey r like wil come to know in 1st week of june about it.But they r not allowing me to talk to faizul the main owner wid whom i had a conversation last time.his words can be trusted n im sure he knows it when he wil hav the handset as he is d one who take cares of the stock.
[Galaxy S II General] alok_dhawal:
So they will ask for a confirmation for collecting cash after receiving delivery of handsets?

So a person can pre book and try getting the handset from vodafone, if we get from vodafone we can cancell the pre order
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
No not after delivery of handset. They will not deliver only unless you confirm. First they will confirm from you whether you want to go through with the purchase or not and only after that they will deliver you the phone.

In the meantime you can look elsewhere and see if you get it earlier at a better deal.
[Galaxy S II General] mrigeshgaurav:
I have been checking with Faizul communication guys in Banjara hills. As per them the stocks will come only on 5th/6th June.
[Galaxy S II General] vinaymonu25:
@arjun

@dhruvmalik

Waiting to know about the infibeam deal will decide after knowing there price+extra accessories+delivery week...i read a quote behind which said we will get to know details about the deal by today afternoon or evening...waiting eagerly.
[Galaxy S II General] vinaymonu25:
ok.thanx lets c another retailer told me to expect on 2nd june...1of my othr frend who happens to be also a retailer is expecting his stock on 3rd june..but expectations are expectations afterall nothing is confirmed.
[Galaxy S II General] mrigeshgaurav:
How about adding a column for quantity as well. Like I plan to buy 2 handsets. As of now I have just mentioned that with my username.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Have done so!

Thanks ;)
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
Thank you for the update Arjun. All those on the list would sincerely want to thank Dhruv and you for all the efforts.I understand that at this moment of time, there is no more concrete information possible.

Here lies the problem. From what it appears, its probably by the 3rd, one will get the idea in the retail market about the price and date of availability. So when is the latest can one withdraw from the list. At the end of the day, we want the best deal.
[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
Vinay, please let me know if you hear anything
[Galaxy S II General] bharat_xda:
Arjun, Dhruv

The list looks blank now(was fine a few minutes ago). Can we ensure that only users logged in through their google accounts can access it?
[Galaxy S II General] ckhurana:
I agree with speedy! This purchase would take a piece out of our bank A/Cs, so we would obviously try to get the best bang from the spent bucks!

Any more details would make the decision making more easier. Anyways, Arjun and Dhruv are both doing a great job!
[Galaxy S II General] ckhurana:
Hi Dhruv/Arjun,

The list is getting random posts and comments, would be best if it is closed to genuine Google ID logins.

Kindly update!
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Attention All:

We have disabled EDITING of this document due to the fact that to many immature individuals were messing about. Its a shame for those who are genuinely interested and are getting messed with.

We will have a new list up soon and would appreciate if you could PM Arjun or I with the details such as.

(XDA NAME, Full Name, Location, Quantity and Confirmation.)

We will maintain this list and update it for your viewing ability.

Thank you and we apologize for the disruption.
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
Seriously? People are lame :/
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Infibeam confirms that they would arrange a pickup if anything is found to be wrong.
[Galaxy S II General] mithunk:
Guys i dont know but i get a funny feeling that orders from letsbuy will be shipped first before anyone else.... I have prebooked one through letsbuy and i will also be buying one more for my bro thru the infibeam deal... In the pre-booking voucher they clearly mention that SGS2 will be yours before anyone else... Or is that only a catchy phrase??

Anyways only time will tell....
[Galaxy S II General] deepforest:
o yaar wen this phone will be available on shops

i am dieing to get it.

you all peoples also sleeping due to boredom LOL

as i see your replies are reduce too much in quantity
[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
Yes, I am refreshing for every 30 minutes..lol

I am sure most of us will get it by 3rd June morning..just 2 days left.
[Galaxy S II General] sharma_sid:
from dealers ? ( not the vodafone offer)

lets wait and watch
[Galaxy S II General] ckhurana:
Mine is on auto-refresh (firefox+Tab Mix Plus add-on) !

Are you getting via the bulk online purchase (infi / fk) or via the retailers?
[Galaxy S II General] deepforest:
o yaar its too difficult to sleep at night

even i have desire hd

very bored
[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
I checked Vodafone store yesterday but they do not have a clue. Will visit again on 3rd June, if its available, will get it one.

I think dealers will also get it by 3rd June..lets see..
[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
TJ and zavenfoizon

You guys supposed to get SGS 2 Today?. Whats happend..Any update?.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
I commented on this point before, when I had a chat with a friend of mine at Vodafone. He has specified that this promotion will go on even after the launch of the device on the 9th of June. Only Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore will be getting the news to their local offices due to availability.
[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
Does that mean Hyderabad Vodafone stores will not be going to offer SGS 2?...hmm bad luck then..
[Galaxy S II General] vickysud:
request to da creator of this thread

can u name dis thread as indian official thread so tht it will be easy for all of us whn v get dis phone regarding updates or problems v can discuss all dis in a single thread
[Galaxy S II General] chattymango:
Correct

This thread is now dedicated to INDIAN Version of GALAXY S II
[Galaxy S II General] MrDpak:
That seems a little unfair to the other countries that are yet to get a launch of this phone.. Maybe starting a new thread might be a better option.
[Galaxy S II General] vu2ikl:
Agree...lets start a new thred of sgs 2 india.
[Galaxy S II General] angynagpal:
OR lets just stick to this one till 9th June and then another country can take over ;)!
[Galaxy S II General] vickysud:
Y for a new thread when most of da comments n da users r indians..everyone r familiar with this thread now so it will be easy for us
[Galaxy S II General] vu2ikl:
Thats fine..

Or whoever gets the first sgs2 in india will create a new thread of India. :)
[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
Yes, please wait few more days..atleast till 2nd week of June.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
We have over 170 Pages of Indian Dominancy, why create a new thread? Discussions here are going on just fine.

1st was Availability

Now its Pricing

Tomorrow it will be back to availability

Once its released, it will be on to issues.

ALSO....

Arjun will post some new developments from Infibeam soon enough.

Flipkart details will soon follow. (Not Today)
[Galaxy S II General] manbearpig86:
Yup.... I personally would prefer a few accessories like memory card, case etc instead of a discount.. coz I know i will be anywaz spending money on them

either way please keep us posted..

These final days of the wait seem to be the longest.. :D
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
***Update***

Dear all,

In regards to a conference call through myself and Infibeam today, we have been informed that on June 2nd is when Infibeam will be given cost, availability, and shipping details from Samsung directly; they will soon after compile an attractive package for us.

We also discussed with them, and they have specified that all purchasers to inspect their devices as soon as they receive it prior to paying. If you have any issues within 24 hours. please contact Infibeam immediately to file a claim.

The highlighted news is that by June 2nd we should have official details from Infibeam, and you should not expect to have this phone before then, unless sold by Vodafone the next day. :)
[Galaxy S II General] zavenfoizon:
guys i dont think we will sgs2 before 9th (retailers) my friend he is a retailer said, the device has came but it will be out on 9th only and price 30k..

If you want without bill and waranty than 32k.. You can get it tomorow itself.

[Galaxy S II General] mansoorkasmi:
I think if we buy any mobile w/o bill then it is less costly, but why some people are saying with bill - 30k & w/o bill 32k, my area dealer told me that he will give it to me tomorrow...hope he keeps his commitments...(wish he was like salman "ek baar commitment kardi toh khud ki bhi nahi sunta") ha ha ha.....
[Galaxy S II General] dilipan:
Sometimes i feel who is the right person to ask about mobile technology in india..today i asked at mobile store about gs2 the person there said it ll be available in july..what to say den..ok, den on reliance store asked for 1500 rs 3g coupon, said dey dont kno abt such coupon, they have only 100 rs one...cmon man..called mtnl for poor 3g reception, executive said " sir chhat per jaiye, full network aega n he was damn serious..lolz..moral of d story is they all r noobs abt 3g, upcoming mobile n technology so just wait n dont take their words for availability of gs2..wait continues..

NO NFC in I9100

hey guys, check GSMArena for "SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 I9101". I guess that is the real device with NFC, not the one we are getting(I9100). Even Samsung india did not put NFC under the "specification" tab for Samsung Galaxy S2 (I9100). If you still think we will get NFC in I9100, you seriously need some brainwash.
[Galaxy S II General] Techvir:
who really NFC at this time. It will still be a 1-2 years before NFC become freely available .

Currently just available in some select cities ( and none in India yet )
[Galaxy S II General] dev3718:
oh well, many people do really care to have NFC in their device or atleast me, because i'm not going to buy new devices again and again just because samsung will launch new variants now and then with little-little udgradation! I want many features to be packed in this one for this much price!
[Galaxy S II General] Techvir:
I think i understand what u r saying.

My first 3G phone was Sonyericssion p990i that i got it in 2005. I was all excited about 3g at that time. I still dont have 3g in my home town. :D
