Guys, does the price from infibeam(29,999) communicated earlier include VAT??

Univercells price including VAT rounds up to 30500
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
I have got my SGS 2{from Pune} @ Rs 30,500:D:D
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Yes, all of the products on Infibeam's website (Including the speculated price of the device mentioned on the previous post) are inclusive of VAT with Free Shipping! =)
[Galaxy S II General] kryptoner:
did anyone buy sgs2 from vodafone store in india today?
[Galaxy S II General] ronak_1078:
I don't think any vodafone store had physical stock of sgs2, someone posted earlier that they were taking preorders and delivery was after 9th only
[Galaxy S II General] vu2ikl:
Radhika communication?
[Galaxy S II General] mahistuffs:
Letsbuy.com has started shipping S2. Got a mail short while ago with tracking number :)
[Galaxy S II General] chattymango:
Please share contact details of that retailer. I want to buy on Monday.
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Guys,i don't have his number but here it is another retailer from Mumbai{one of my friends will be getting his SGS 2 from here next week}

Mobile Number is 9892569521.

Name-Dhaval

City NERUL (Navi Mumbai):D

He has quoted me & my friend the price tag of Rs 30,000...you can call him & ask for all the details & also share the price which he is offering to you;)
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Huh?....

I'm confused. Wasn't this suppose to arrive in India by early next month? None of the online stores have the item in stock. There is no pre-order option either.
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
No online for SGS 2 atleast for some time,only big retail shops are getting it
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
For how much? This is urgent. Please send me a PM disclosing the details. Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
In another thread, he has mentioned around 30k or so. Before you jump the gun, just wait till Monday. He might have it then, or like all, he will wait till its here in India via retailers.
[Galaxy S II General] xpooz:
Hi there, is it mean all the sgs 2 will be running the same clock speed 1.2ghz, no matter where do you buy you still get the 1.2ghz, or there will be 2 version of sgs 2.. one is 1ghz and another one is 1.2ghz.. can anyone confirm about this? I'm about to place order on the pre-order..but the store cannot confirm their stock will be 1ghz or 1.2ghz..
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
There is no definitive answer to whether the Tegra 2 will run at 1.2Ghz, but it can be assumed that all the Exynos SGS II's will run at 1.2Ghz.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II General] xpooz:
I9100 is powered by exynos while I9103 is powered by tegra-2

then I think I can place my order now ;) thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Man,don't know about that.

Samsung SouthAsia Forum was organised in Delhi for 2 days & it's during that time they announced the 1.2Ghz+SamoledPlus version for India,i think initially there will be only 1 version{mentioned above}.

Tegra 2 may follow later or not at all.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
According to the image, there will be a Tegra 2 version and will be heading to HK with sAMOLED +.

How much of this is factual, well your guess is as good as mine.
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Will that Mumbai retailer ship? I've tried contacting him through SMS but did not receive any response. Although I am excited I am not sure if this release is true. We will have to wait and see.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Like mentioned before Arjun, let Android_Master check the place out and see whether the source is concrete of was it some sort of miscommunication.

If he is able to obtain the device, it will be good news for all of us.
[Galaxy S II General] rons_sacramental:
Agree.....better to wait for some confirmation.... we all waited this much then why not wait few more days.
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Finally It has been confirmed that SGS 2 will now have 2 versions

1) SGS 2 with 1.2Ghz Exynos+Super Amoled Plus

2) SGS 2 with 1Ghz Nvidia Tegra 2+Super Amoled Plus

As per now there is no super clear lcd{otherwise known as super crap lcd } :mad:version,which is great

1) UK,South Korea,India getting the 1.2Ghz Exynos+Super Amoled Plus

2) Hong Kong getting the second version ie Nvidia+Super Amoled Plus

But still that dealer sounds too confident,hopefully deal will be final on Monday:D
[Galaxy S II General] MikeyMike01:
I can't think of a single reason to get the HTC. I can think of a half-dozen not to.
[Galaxy S II General] onbacardi:
I can't think of a single reason WHY NOT to get the SAMSUNG. I can think of a half-dozen WHY I SHOULD :D :P
[Galaxy S II General] MikeyMike01:
That's exactly what I said?

Sent from my Captivate
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Man,i am amazed as to 56 guys{100%} have till now voted for SGS 2 only.;)

I have made the same pole in HTC Sensation Forum also,the result is 60-40 in favour of HTC Sensation.;)

I am actually amazed as to everyone or most of the guys going for SGS 2 only:D
[Galaxy S II General] tasgr86:
i vote for sensation!
[Galaxy S II General] R3Y:
Congrats! Can you please tell what are the box contents? :)
[Galaxy S II General] antisp1n:
What will you guys be doing with your old SGS? Any good stores that will buy a second-hand SGS?
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
***Current Status***

Okay everyone, we will be updating you all shortly with a response from Infibeam. - Cheers ;)
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:

It is a very attractive package!

Please appreciate the effort Dhruv has taken with Infibeam in the last couple of weeks

Unfortunately due to heavy rain, he does not have power to post the details right now. However, he should be able to get his Internet service back soon, and will post the official details in his next post! Stay tuned...

Shop - Universal
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
PM (Private Message) your First Name, Location, User ID, Quantity, and Confirmation for June 4th and so on.
[Galaxy S II General] mrigeshgaurav:
Patience!!

Hyderabad too got some stock today. one of the guys from Himayatnagar called and said he has 2 phones and can give for Rs. 32500. but guess what, I will wait for the group deal. Its hard to resist but patience is a virtue :D
[Galaxy S II General] bazoomba:
Address or contact no. pls
[Galaxy S II General] Beautyspin:
I have PMed you the details. I am not sure about the Confirmation details but I need it ASAP. Thanks in Advance..
[Galaxy S II General] gp_freak:
Exactly. Even the guy who called me said that he has got only two phones. Damn, i smell something fishy from samsung's side. Only difference is it cheaper by 2k from hyd in chennai.

BTW, if patient enough, wait for sometime and walk over to the store and get it after testing it in your hand.

@All - Any idea about the Sandisk 32 GB class 2 SDHC card ? its available for 3.1 k. Is that a good deal ?
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
Arjun, of Dhruv is yet struggling with internet service, would it be possible for you to update the deal with Infibeam
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Cant wait now plzzzzz update.
[Galaxy S II General] deepforest:

[Galaxy S II General] deepforest:
If you purchase on less or more bargaining, it will be more future proof and at the time of resale your lose will be less ,

Don't do mistake like me as my previous purchase of desire hd,

I purchased my dhd @34000/-.

And after a week its come down to

29000/-

And I realize now wen I want to resale its too much lose.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Infibeam deal final...

Hello All….

Well the time has come to make the official announcement of the Group Purchase with Infibeam in regards to the Samsung Galaxy S II handset.

Arjun and I truly appreciate all of those who had faith and held out purchasing this device on our account.

We have tried extremely hard with many online vendors to accomplish the most economical deal with the best value.

From what we have surveyed is that most of the online retailers like to bundle items which we are not usually interested in and hence that incentive is wasted.

What we have pushed for is a good discount on the device with some sort of an option to purchase WHAT WE LIKE for cheap.

Here is the deal, and please remember that we have tried very hard to accomplish this.

1)	Infibeam will sell the device TO US USING PROMO CODE for

Rs.29399

.

2)	Infibeam will provide an

Rs 250

Gift Brochure

that you can use on ANY PURCHASE aside from the PHONE. Use it towards a case or any item you would like.

3)	Infibeam will also include a

Screen Protector

with the purchase of this device.

AS a Value Added Benefit. If the device goes lower than their NORMAL cost (Not our group cost), the difference will be added to our group cost.

For those who have purchased, I apologize but your sale is done, but who are still pending the sale, you will get a better discount while keeping the Gift Brochure as well.

4)	A Promo Code will be given to us BY

Saturday (June 4, 2011)

OR

Monday (June 6, 2011).

5)	They will have the Page Up BY

Saturday (June 4, 2011)

OR

Monday (June 6, 2011)

– Same time as Promo Code For Us.

6)	While I was at the Infibeam Offices, we spoke to Samsung directly and confirmed that the devices for Letsbuy.com, Infibeam, Flipkart will all start delivering by the 7th and they will start shipping on the 9th of June.

7)	They have assured me that all devices will be dispatched on the SAME DAY as they receive it and you should see the device within 24 to 48 hours.

8)	Cash On Delivery Option is also available (Only in areas they service, please check with them first).

NOTE:

ONCE you purchase from Infibeam, please PM Arjun90 or I with your Conformation number. We will confirm with Infibeam and make sure everything is on track.

All sales activity is done with Infibeam and we cannot interfere there. What we will make sure is that your sale is looked after with the utmost priority.

ALL SALES ORDERS WITH OUR PROMO CODE will be processed FIRST.

You will also be eligible for ANY Additional benefits WE receive.

What Arjun and I will also like to setup for is a group purchase of the specified accessories. This will happen soon enough and Infibeam has assured us that some GREAT stuff will be offered and excellent rates.

Please once again confirm again via PM if you will proceed.

To do so, please PM the following Details.

Full Name

City

State

Add Statement “Infibeam” if you are taking the detail

Add Statement “REMOVE” if you would like to be removed from this group purchase.

Once again, Arjun and I appreciate all of your patience and look forward to us all enjoying this device soon.

Thank You.
[Galaxy S II General] deepforest:
This is only corpus or bubble of panic for just 2-3 days,

After these 2-3 days it will smooth deal
[Galaxy S II General] Beautyspin:
Hi Arjun - What about the MHL cable (HDTV adapter?). Are we not getting it?
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
Awesome deal dude.... really appreciated...

I was a little confused at this part... Can you explain it better...
[Galaxy S II General] manbearpig86:
Thanks for the info mate.. So is this the best deal we are getting or will arjun post the flipkart/other retailers' offers soon? :)

Edit: As far as accessories are concerned.. The ones i would really want are a good case/leather pouch and a microsd card... hopefully a group buy for those also will be arranged soon...
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Once an HDTV Adapter becomes available, we would be able to do a group purchase of that product as well and take advantage of a good discount. - Cheers! :)
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
I have spoken to LetsBuy.com, Flipkart, and Univercell.in and they have presented their offers to me. All three online retailers were using the MRP to reflect on the group purchase. Hence, I refused their offers; there wasn't much to take advantage off.

However, Infibeam, is providing the best deal (a significant one!), and that's definite! - Cheers! :)
[Galaxy S II General] androidsos:
Hi, what about the likes of me, who have bought the phone, but would like to join in on the accessories' group purchase, if they are good. Will that be possible or the accessories' group purchase only for those who have bought the phone from this initiative.
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
Good job on the deal! Though if everything goes fine, I'll be getting my SGS2 a couple of hundred bucks more than the Infibeam offer tomorrow itself :D
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Pre-order terms will also be given at the time of Promo-code availability. Those details will be given soon; don't worry, we will all go through a smooth transaction.
[Galaxy S II General] sharma_sid:
can u pls share the dealer details in Delhi ?

i'm interested as well.
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
Will share it when I get final confirmation tomorrow!
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
fantastic deal guys. thanks . BTW..what would you suggest would be useful for the phone with the gift voucher
[Galaxy S II General] aviatorarun:
Hi Arjun,

You didnt confirm whether these mobiles from Infibeam comes with an NFC..
[Galaxy S II General] sharma_sid:
sure , i'll wait for it dude.

if i can get it tomo as well, nothing like it.

Pls do PM,if you dont wanna broadcast.
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
Infibeam or not, either all will have NFC, or none will.. As far as we can say, the Indian version does not have NFC..
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Yes, accessories are open to all members, including those that did not opt for the Galaxy S2 Group Purchase! - Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
I would use it for protection, cables, accessories, and other goodies not already included in the Retail Box and Bundled Offer. =) - Cheers! :)
[Galaxy S II General] androidsos:
Thanks..hope there are some killer accessories.
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
AFAIK, there is no NFC. However, Samsung is always "subject" to change their specifications.
[Galaxy S II General] Ghostbustersin:
So, to cut it short we will get the SGS2 @ 29399INR + One Screen Protector + 250 Gift Voucher. Thats it! :(

And we can't expect it before 10th ( Even in New Delhi ).

Frankly, this is not so attractive deal or worth the wait. For people who got SGS2 yesterday ( thats 2nd june ), that too home delivered for 30k in pune are missing out on nothing. Just ~1k bucks? ( 30k - 29399( for price ) - 250 ( for gift voucher ) - 200 ( for screen protector ) :confused:

For a DP of 29990INR, if we are getting just a discount of 600INR + goodies worth 400 to 500more on a group purchase of over 7.5lakhs :eek:, do you really consider this a great deal?:confused: I mean, it's definitely better than what others are getting presently, but then is it really worth the wait?

Please don't get me wrong, i'm not discouraging anyone to step off the deal, infact m in as well. I'm just a bit disappointed with what i expected. :( ( More discount on DP + Accessories. )
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
:eek:how much did you expect? 25K? :D
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
I appreciate your input, but we have tried to the best of our abilities to get a deal prior to it going mainstream.

If you are interested, then please PM Arjun, if you would like to consider other means of obtaining this device, no harm - no foul.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] manbearpig86:
You are right in what you said.. But we also have to understand that this is a flagship phone which also happens to be in huge demand.. All retailers know this (so many statements by people here saying they are themselves driving the price up by calling the retailer repeatedly :P) and this is why they are not budging faar from the dp.. I am pretty sure the prices will go down like anything by july - august... But then there's the fear that Samsung might start putting S-LCD screens on newer stock.. dhruv tried his level best I think.. I am in on the deal :)

Just hoping we get sweet offers on the accessories too..
[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
What happened to this deal?? It is said in the afternoon with the details below deal is almost finalized.. Little disappointed tht we missed HDMI adaptor and Car charger in our deal.. :( How ever still our deal is good..:D I appreciate both arjun and dhruv for ur efforts.. :D:)
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Hey all,

The accessories group deal details will be given a little bit later once we get more details in a few days.

Rest-assured, a few goodies will be made available to us soon.

As of now, we are getting the brochure (goodies package--we will have information shortly) and Screen Protector.
[Galaxy S II General] Beautyspin:
I am confused - Univercell is directly giving it for Rs. 29,327. http://www.univercell.in/mobiles/displayMobileDetails.action?productId=28621. So shouldn't a groupd deal from Univercell be a better?
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Well-said! =) :)
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
ADD 4%vat to it.
[Galaxy S II General] Beautyspin:
Sorry for raining questions. Is the cost inclusive of taxes, Shipping and transit insurance or is that extra? ( The cost in Univercell is not inclusive of all these).
[Galaxy S II General] sharma_sid:
dont worry about S-LCD, this will seldom happen this year ....

samsung has just set up a new production line exclusively for S Amoled display.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/31/samsungs-new-amoled-production-line-should-help-ease-smartphone/
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
Infi deal is inclusive of all the tax and shipping and vat and what not... so wat u see thr is what u pay.. no other charges...
[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
Taxes and delivery charges Extra :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] Ghostbustersin:
I guess you are right! Demand-Supply game! Anyways, my question still remains & is bothering me, is the wait worth it?

M in anyways!
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Univercell is excluding taxes. Factor in the taxes and you are seeing something very similar to Letsbuy.com
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
***FYI***

For those that are going to purchase additional quantities from Infibeam (more than 1 SG2's) are requested to place individual orders! :)
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
Dude.. if u keep thinking whether it is worth it or not... u will never be satisfied... I think everything was clear earlier.. if you want it early u pay that 1k or 2k extra and get it... thats how everyone has got it till now... as u have already waited... u are getting a 2k reduction on the mrp and further to that assured stock availability and mobile on ur hand on 10th...

if you had some target in mind then let it out... may be tht shuld make u feel better...
[Galaxy S II General] sagarguyus:
agreed... galaxy s was 29k when launched.... it's now available for 22k.... waiting is never an option.... if we keep waiting.. then obviously prices are going to drop for sure...
[Galaxy S II General] amjath:
Guys dont wait too much if u wait SGS 3 ll be released lol :):):);)
[Galaxy S II General] aviatorarun:
Look at what samsung india has tweeted last week.. It clearly says NFC will be available in indian version.

If they are not releasing NFC version then one should think about the legal actions against samsung for giving false commitment to their customers.

It is unfair by samsung to change the specifications in such a short period without any communication.

Those people who had already bought the phone would have surely disappointed.
[Galaxy S II General] chattymango:
NFC Question should be asked directly to SAMSUNG INDIA COUNTRY MANAGER/CEO. We want to hear from him.
[Galaxy S II General] ronak_1078:
what is the price you'll be getting it for? and what area in delhi?
[Galaxy S II General] ronak_1078:
Count me in!! :D
[Galaxy S II General] kwokwchoy:
When is the last date for this infibeam deal?
[Galaxy S II General] ckhurana:
Something I would like to know too!!
