Some questions:

So there will be no cash/card refund? In case something terribly goes wrong and I don't wish to do business with infibeam then..?

Also who pays for shipping item back to infibeam? The customer or infibeam takes care of that?

Thanks in advance Arjun.
[Galaxy S II General] bharat_xda:
I think your best bet will be to pay via credit card. That way you'll have to option to dispute the charge(if you're not happy with infibeam's service), return the product and get a chargeback.
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
Customer pays for shipping. And no cash refund.
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Simple...

Based on my recent purchases of a TV and another mobile phone in the past, from what I've understood, dead pixels "can" occur in transit, because in any of the delicate transistors built into the screen, if the device is mishandled like being dropped during shipping, can cause the contact between the transistors to slightly dislodge; then when the phone is turned on (thanks to the heat generated), a dead pixel can form on the spot!

Stuck pixels can be fixed in most cases by lightly rubbing that area of the screen with the tip of a pencil eraser; had to do this with my Samsung UNC8000 3D LED TV back home.

Even though most companies have a dead pixel policy ranging from 3-9 dead pixels for replacement, even one dead pixel (on arrival) can convince certain companies to replace the whole device from Day 1 itself.

If within a few days (>2 days) after receiving the phone and 7-9 dead pixels occur, this situation would have to be directly dealt with Samsung.

You can only return the device to Infibeam within 1-2 days (if there are any problems with the Screen or physical appearance of the device).

After the 2nd day, the executives will NOT cater your complaint.

Their main reason behind immediate replacement (in that 1-2 window) is because they would accept that there was a mishandling during delivery.

;)
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Clarification...

Infibeam will bear the charges when returning the item back. They schedule a pick-up, usually with Bluedart. They DO NOT offer a refund, only an in-store credit.

However, if you replace the device more than 1 time because of careless delivery, then you can kindly request them for a refund.

:)
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Interesting...

Here is something that you all may like before receiving your devices. - Cheers!

What I am interested is the kind of accessories which infibeam is providing.. :)

Let's see.. I am willing to bet that these online retailers will definitely give a better discount OR provide coupons/accessories with the device.. :)
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Another look...

Hopefully, by as early as tomorrow evening or later this week I should be having that information ready for you. =)

Also, take a look at this. Very reputable company, don't think something this premium in quality will appear as a freebie in LetsBuy or some other Online Store.

LetsBuy.com Customers

For those that placed pre-orders on LetsBuy.com earlier, you will most likely be getting a Rs 1,000 Rupee Voucher today via Bluedart from the online retailer so that you can apply that coupon as an adjustment when paying the remaining amount for the Samsung Galaxy S2 (2nd Week of June). - Cheers! ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
Does this mean that the tracking code we've got is for the voucher??? You just broke my heart :( And here I was hoping for it to be the real deal :(

Anyways here are the Accessories I've Ordered:

XtremeGuardz (same quality as Zagg but dirt cheap): $4.95 (Rs. 225) : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230623874918&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

[Galaxy S II General] dhiru1602:
Any Source of the same?
[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
Dear Arjun.. U are doing a great job.. I really appreciate it.. :):D
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
If they're sending the coupon code by courier, they are retarded :/

Couldn't they have just emailed it? :/
[Galaxy S II General] Ad-sales:
Confirming that Letsbuy is only sending someone to collect rs1000 and may be give out a coupon or something. Bluedart sent me a message saying this.

Also, since we opted for cod for preorder amount, what other option did they have?

I dont know what is happening with guys who have already payed the preorder money through cards.
[Galaxy S II General] Shylesh:
I'am hurt!

Skip it. What about the Igyaan deal which you also included in your site??

Is it available from june 1????
[Galaxy S II General] kunalparwani:
Thanks arjun90, for patiently sharing all the developments of the deal.
[Galaxy S II General] hawkice:
Soory to break ur heart Tanmay, but that "Samsung Original Red Mesh Case" isn't original coz the original case will have the 's' as big kinda italicied font, check this out http://www.youtube.com/user/samjpullen#p/u/6/xw__Xc1tMBo
[Galaxy S II General] tarun.nair:
I am not sure about the authenticity of this website but if true then this is a crappy offer by Vodafone. Same price as letsbuy and locked? I am not sure I believe this though. I'll be going to the Vodafone store today. If you guys learn anything, please post. http://goo.gl/xUhQw

[Galaxy S II General] amjath:
For those thinking about NFC and whether there ll be a increase thickness of the phone!!! The post which didn't satisfy u guys, here is a post to prove that NFC is actually a thinnest part of the phone. Google launched Google Wallet they said if u dont have a NFC device use a sticker.;););)

www[dot]blog[dot]gsmarena[dot]com/want-to-use-google-wallet-but-dont-have-an-nfc-enabled-handset-here-have-a-sticker-instead/?doing_wp_cron#more-15070
[Galaxy S II General] amjath:
I'm also thinking where to buy in chennai. Samsung says no official dealer partner in Chennai as well as in Tamil Nadu. I'm worried:confused::confused:
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Even though its not Original Samsung, that red still looks hott... The only drawback I see is the edge finishing being a bit rough and the "S".

Please PM Arjun with the details.
[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
Sure buddy..:D:) I will do it now..:):)
[Galaxy S II General] vu2ikl:

We probably will see a early launch of SGS2 in Countries where the LG optimus 2x and Motorola Atrix havent shipped yet.

What would be the point in launching the phone in Countries where everyone allready has bought an O2x or an Atrix...
[Galaxy S II General] sckc23:
Not sure if anyone has posted this.

Samsung has confirmed to TechRadar that the Samsung Galaxy S2 handset will feature 1.2GHz dual-core CPUs in the UK.

Can't be sure if its Exynos or Tegra though.. and they mentioned their source confirming the device was still on for an April launch in Europe'.
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
A very very good news for our South Korea Friends:D:D

Samsung Electronics is going to launch its first dual core Android smart phone Samsung I9100 Galaxy S2 on April 25th in Korea.

Reuters, KT (South Korea’s second largest mobile carrier) will launch the Galaxy S II on April 25.:D:D

This phone is said to have 1.2Ghz dual core processor instead of 1Ghz. Other than that this has 1GB RAM, 8MP camera with LED flash and comes with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread).

Unsurprisingly, South Korea is among the first countries where the new Galaxy will be released.

For the moment, there’s no word on what other markets will get the new Android 2.3 smartphone this month (if any at all).

Folks in India,

Unconfirmed Price (Wouldn’t get so awe about it as launch price could be much less)

[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Arjun, the news for India... Although it is published yesterday, is is old news. These types of sites do not have fresh content so they publish data based upon speculation and front it as UPDATED Data.

They also mention only 1 Ghz. Although we do not know whether India will see 1.2 Ghz, its surprising they it is published at the old specs.
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Samsung Mobile India, Twitter is not answering any tweets from users that are requesting information for the status of the Samsung Galaxy SG2. Lol, I wonder why. :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Im sure Samsung said, STFU on Twitter... We will do the talking from now on...
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
Could be because it is after 10pm local time there now, and they do not tweet 24/7?
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Or it could be that ;)

official email from Clove

You recently requested to be notified about the availability of the Samsung Galaxy S II smartphone. We are contacting you today to confirm the current situation with this soon to be released device.

There have been a lot of rumours on the internet regarding the release date and specification of the unit. Having spoken to Samsung UK we can confirm the following:

- UK stock is expected to be launched and made available for sale from the 1st May.

- As the 1st of May is a Sunday and the 2nd May is a UK holiday, we expect the dispatch of orders to commence on Tuesday 3rd May.

- The Galaxy S II will be available as a 16GB model.

- It will have a 1.2GHz dual-core processor (as opposed to the previously advertised 1GHz).

- The processor chip type is to be confirmed, but we expect it to be an Exynos chip

- We expect the screen type to be Super AMOLED Plus

The price is due to remain at the current GBP 440 pounds + shipping costs + VAT (if applicable). However, please be aware that Samsung might still change the price and/or release date. All customers who have placed an order will receive an email form us approximately one week before release of the device to confirm the price, specification and shipping date.

Here at Clove we plan to have sufficient stock to cover all orders and hopefully be in an 'in stock' situation upon the day of release. Having said this, the demand for the Galaxy S II is higher than we have seen for any other smartphone, so we do recommend that you place an order as soon as possible. Please remember that you are entitled to cancel your order at any point up to dispatch.

We trust that you find this information useful and that it clarifies any rumour that has been circulating.
[Galaxy S II General] janne303:
No info about NFC chip?
[Galaxy S II General] Banner:
I don't get it ; everyone knows by now that there is NFC. How many times should it be mentioned? Or would you like some technical specs that you wouldn't understand anyway? It's new technology, most people don't really understand how it works. Bottomline : There is NFC.

What info are you looking for ?
[Galaxy S II General] janne303:
had a bad day or something?
[Galaxy S II General] Banner:
I didn't mean to offend you. It was an honest question : I don't get what else you'd like to know. It's not like we're talking GPS chip, or GPU. What kind of info are you looking for, besides the fact that there is NFC?
[Galaxy S II General] janne303:
Hehe no problem. I just wonder if the chip is on every device or if its a region thing (different countries). I live in sweden and on the samsung sweden page it says nothing about the nfc in their spec. Companies is waiting for devices like Sgs2 to be release so they can sell their products. It would be great for me if I could "load" my phone with credits to go by the trains, subways and buses instead of have around 3 different plastic cards :D
[Galaxy S II General] DKMIK:
The Danish site does not saying anything about NFC or how fast the cpu will be.

[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
It would be helpful for everyone if you could provide info on the source of that statement.

Even though Arjun and I are trying to get a good deal for everyone, it wouldn't hurt to see if its truly available or just claims from dealers / shop owners.
[Galaxy S II General] hravnish:
Guys.. Hope we get our phones soon.. !!

Although I have received case for s2, which i had ordered few days back... !!

The price for this case was 35USD per case which is approx 1500 INR..

I have in all ordered 4 cases.. !! And to say this frankly speaking this are awesome case.. !! :) :)

[Galaxy S II General] mrigeshgaurav:
Have been trying to refrain from posting without any concrete info, however not able to contain my excitement :D Galaxy S2 stocks have reached national distributors and would reach regional distributors by EOD today. General availability and street price should get confirmed after that.

My source is someone in Samsung sales. I have decent enough reasons to believe him as he helped me a lot when I managed to brick my Galaxy S and it went out of stock immediately after that. So fingers crossed!!
[Galaxy S II General] mrigeshgaurav:
Just wondering if these would fit properly with the Indian version of S2 as these are coming from Korea and the Korean version of S2 is slightly thicker.. Please confirm otherwise I like the case and would like to get one too..
[Galaxy S II General] hravnish:
Well You are absolutely right.. !! you could get the phones by tomorrow in some regions !!
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
Samsung is known as Anycall in Korea. The case comes with an Original Hologram too! And the S doesn't really matter to me as far as the build quality is original.
[Galaxy S II General] hravnish:
there is no difference between the body!! need not worry for that at all. !! its international standards. .!! I am a reseller for cases which i do import it from CHINA, KOREA, UK, US.. !! I did brought this from my permanent manufacturers...
[Galaxy S II General] hawkice:
:) Enjoy bro... but for me in addition to that build quality, that original 'S' looks so cool in its original font :cool: 'll try to get one with proper logo too :D
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
Yea have fun. But for me it doesn't make any sense at all to pay more than double the money and get that italicized S while the build quality is the same! Plus if you buy the retail boxed version you won't get any color choice. Red IMO looks much more sexier than black.
[Galaxy S II General] ronak_1078:
I ordered the same and recieved mine today morning itself :D its pretty awesome and along with it i also ordered a Case Mate case which is great too
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
IF the build quality is the same then it truly doesnt make sense to pay extra just cause it has has a different logo.
[Galaxy S II General] hawkice:
I know there is an original samsung shop inside 'Express Avenue' but not sure which floor so find it out (& tell us too if u do :p )

(The reason i'm saying this is that, in this shop only we can get the samsung employee's discount coupon rebated for certain as one of my friend did )
[Galaxy S II General] hawkice:
Yeah u r right but for me, having such a costly mobile with such a cheap looking case is a definite no-no :eek:

What i actually meant is i'll wait n try to get similar build quality case & still has that cool logo :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
In that case, toss Invisible Shield OR similar on it and just get a nice leather pouch. You don't have to cover it up with anything, keep the nice stealthy look and protect from scratches and all.
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
A leather pouch is a part of the in box accessory for SGS2 in India and is included with the phone :)
[Galaxy S II General] hawkice:
Gr8 so i just need an Invisible Shield, is AMAZER good enough or is there any other that is very good? If possible can u guys provide the link, thx in advance :)
[Galaxy S II General] MrDpak:
Thanks for the great suggestion, however I've always wondered, when it comes to full body guards - since the back of the Galaxy S II is textured wouldn't it be hard to keep a guard on it ? Anyone come across a post/review concerning this?
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
You can buy XtremeGuards. Its the same quality as Zagg but a lot cheaper. I've personally used Zagg, BestSkinsEver, Bodyguardz and XtremeGuards and XtremeGuards was the cheapest with the same quality.

You can buy from here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230623874918&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
Ohh thats good point! I didn't think about that! Maybe it won't stick that well. I'll ask the seller this question and get back to you.

Anyways I've also ordered the Red Mesh back casing too so I could just use the front, side, top and botton screenprotector strips.

Chck this website who are offering Galaxy S2 for Rs 25,600!!!!! Yes even i could not believe.

as i am new user not able to post the link... check the website "mnvcollections" add .com after this.

Can anyone check the genuinity of this?

The price alone is enough to suspect that there is something VERY fishy about this deal.

yup thats right.

And guys sgs2 finally arrived in mumbai , my dealer is giving it but without bill and warranty, he said if i want with waranty than just wait till tomorow or max day after tomorow, and price he said for without waranty is 32k.
