Wiki actually sources from samsunggalaxys2review(dot)org/samsung-galaxy-s2-release-dates
[Galaxy S II General] Dextrosan:
I see :) thx. Now the source of the wiki is this. It states that those are the official release dates but I haven't seen an official release date for Germany so far. Guess it's not 100% reliable....
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
Just had a word with the courier. Looks like i will have to wait till tomorrow. They received the courier from Infibeam on saturday evening. If i had any clue on this delay, i would have gone to Ahmedabad and been back with the device yesterday. This sucks.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Sorry Bro, I was just in Mumbai last week also...
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Thanks dear. Ya its strange for such a big company to make mistake like this. My phone is manufactured and packed in june so they havent still rectified the mistake since earlier ones were manufactured in May.

Man i am in LOVE with this display. Dont have words to tell , colors pops out and i have not seen any Yellow tinge , As long as its not visible to naked eye , i dont care. Now after using this display i cant go back again to any other phone. Its charging and m dying to use her :)

Link o fcar charger supplied with phone.

+1 Count me in Dhruv, and thanks for the great work here.
[Galaxy S II General] antisp1n:
Looks like the banding issue to me (artifacts caused due to a lower colour bitrate). I don't think anything is wrong with your phone in particular.
[Galaxy S II General] aayushb:
I checked my status today, and it was still not updated. I called up infibeam, and they told me that my phone will ship HOPEFULLY today. When I asked them about the information they had given Dhruv and Arjun that all our orders had shipped by saturday, they said there must have been a mistake. I know its frustrating, but its alright. Just a few more days wait. Really is no one's fault. Infibeam did not get the stocks they had ordered on time.
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
Guys this is a off topic but its regarding the courier company used by Infibeam. A heads up to all, avoid Quantium solutions. Pathetic status updates and i have had to call branches at both ends,chase them for an update....and i am still waiting to know which city the phone is in at the moment.
[Galaxy S II General] mangodolly:
Same here, checked with Infibeam customer service this morning. Order has not been shipped, they said it might ship today or latest by tomorrow. Disappointed with Infibeam commitment. Arjun/Dhruv, would appreciate a clarification on the shipping status, if and when you talk to Infibeam.

Regards
[Galaxy S II General] mysterion86:
Same here.They say they will update tracking details by 3pm.Disappointed :(
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
I have called up the corp manager and am awaiting a call back. I will follow up with it ASAP.
[Galaxy S II General] ckhurana:
Hi Dhruv / Arjun,

As I said earlier, I would be interested in a GP for these too! One thing though, are these better than Xtreme Guards and do these have a full body protection?

And Dhruv, as I said earlier, the Xtremeguards ($4 vs $14) are the same, the seller clearly says it includes front, back and side guards.

You can compare you $14 link with the $4 link.

Do get back please! Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
The material should be exactly the same, but could vary with build quality (precision of the cuts made).

Pretty much all of the same stuff but advertised in a different way. One thing is Invisible Shield stuff peels off quicker and doesnt stick back on. Best Skins Ever and Gadget Shieldz stuff I use on my iPhone doesnt peel off that quickly and when I see it peeling, I apply soap water and hold it in place for a minute. Its back on like new.
[Galaxy S II General] techguru_delhi:
Just got my phone from Letsbuy y:)y Had ordered on 2nd and finally got it today!! Anyway better late than never. The MHL adapter is still missing though. Can't wait to get home from office today and play with this baby
[Galaxy S II General] amitoberoi:
guys i got the set finally, and lemme say it is absolutely fantastic. The display, as has been posted earlier, is AMAZING. I have never seen a better display in any phone. The colors are literally popping out. Phone was packed properly and i received the bluetooth headset, molife cover and screen guard. Still have to check the yellow tint and banding issue whether it is there or not. Will update soon. Somebody also asked about the battery cover not fitting properly. The set is have the battery cover fits nicely. So i guess you have to complain to samsung and get the cover replaced. The phone is super responsive and the audio is also good.
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Congrats:)So now 3 people from have confirmed getting phone today from letsbuy. Great.

Did u get MHL adapter with phone?
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
One question plzz reply fast

I have ordered Hard Mesh case from korea , dimensions of phone is different from korean ones so can it be fit indian ones nicely?
[Galaxy S II General] cooltarun:
I am still waiting for mine. The status on Aramex website is "Shipment Received at Operations Facility". Could you guys who have got through Aramex check and tell me what's the status on yours? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Info...

I have just gotten off the phone with Infibeam. Orders have been shipped LATE on Saturday and hence there is a delay with your accounts reflecting the status change. All status changes will start occurring as of now and will continue to do so as soon as the courier company has provided a tracking number.

THREE orders are still pending since the Courier company declined to accept the product due to it being to late on Saturday.

I do not have the names of the 3 pending orders but customer service will call and notify you directly

I will be quite limited with my responses due to time constraints today. (Its BUSY Monday...)

Please check your order status page to keep track of what is going on.

I do apologize for all the inconvenience, but again, if it were to be in my hands, I would send you all a free phone weeks before the launch. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
I have got it to day through Aramex and status showing is OUT FOR DELIVERY.
[Galaxy S II General] MrDpak:
Just got an email at around 12:30 pm from Infibeam with a tracking number. Although the order cant be tracked as it looks like the courier has not updated its status.

Courier Service: AFL

Shipping Date: 11 Jun 2011

any one used or is familiar with AFL ? and how long it usually takes to ship from Delhi to Bangalore ?
[Galaxy S II General] kk4htc:
I too got with today in Jaipur.

Not yet checked, still opening, I am at office, so not able to give time..

Same details as you guys, car charger, molife case (not good), screen protector. HD adapter not received as yet:):)
[Galaxy S II General] jaisun2004:

But I enjoyed the way they have understood my name :D

Consignee : A POLYSHINS RAJ :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Guys plz tell.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
It should fit fine. UNLESS the location you ordered it from Specified the Korean Model Number / Dimensions / OR stated its for the Korean version.

More than likely, it will fit fine since majority of the world is using the 8.49mm body.
[Galaxy S II General] mahistuffs:
I ordered one from Korea and it fits perfectly.
[Galaxy S II General] mysterion86:
i haven't yet got the email.finding it tough to be patient
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
I ordered it from here . They have specified ANYCALL so it will 8.89 mm

http://www.exportprive.com/anycall-hard-mesh-case-samsung-galaxy-i9100-p-16339.html
[Galaxy S II General] amitoberoi:
Nope, no MHL adaptor. As many are saying, maybe they will dispatch on 14th. Also is it final that NFC is not available in these phones, because letsbuy had earlier claimed on this forum that the phones supplied by them has NFC and will be activated later thru software updates.
[Galaxy S II General] buBleZ:
Please include me too for the gadgetshieldz deal
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
Please go to the order section in Infibeam if you dont have any e-mail indicating the shipping... all your tracking details will be thr... :cool::cool::cool:
[Galaxy S II General] parassaxena3:
there it is also blank..!! :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] bhavyak:
I'm in the same boat. Still 'in processing' and infibeam cust. service clueless about if it has been shipped or not. Very disappointed in their service especially given that I have paid in full and am in the same city as the warehouse; will stick to flipkart for future online purchases.
[Galaxy S II General] Dhirajlaw:
I knew that we may face such issues, hence kept on escalating till they hand delivered the phone on sunday and inspite of the phone being delivered, still the status on the infibeam site says, "in process to be shipped on 13th...." lol.....

By the way just had a confirmation from infibeam that the screen protectors shall be dispatched tomorrow.
[Galaxy S II General] parassaxena3:
yeah same here.. i too have paid d full amount.

and also i instructed them ki it shud be delivered before 16th as i am moving out for 15 dayz.. :(

n d infibeam cc is saying it wud be probabily delivered on 16th.. whats dis yr.. too mch dissapointed.. :'(
[Galaxy S II General] hawkeye7:
DITTO. Except that i am at kerala... And payed full for 2 orders.
[Galaxy S II General] MrDpak:
Just got it a half hour ago ! Its brilliant.. Had to force myself off of it to post this message..

Thanks for the deal Druv and Arjun !
[Galaxy S II General] bhavyak:
Tried the 'hound them' strategy. According to them they've not even shipped my order as of now; even though they currently have stock because they're experiencing 'high demand'. It looks like having paid in full for your phone puts you right at the bottom of their priority queue.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Frankly I am getting a bit upset with all the nagging. If you all care to read what is posted about Customer Care, then you would realize that they are not aware of the Group Deal.

If you continue to call them, it will not make a difference since your orders are being processed by the Corporate Manager.

According to him, All orders have gone out as of now and your order details will be updated. Even though people's order details are stating in progress, they have received the order.

This can be concluded that Infibeam is very far behind with processing updates. SO DONT GO BY IT AS THE ULTIMATE WORD.

The rest is up to you.

AS ALWAYS... IF YOU HAVE received your product, PM US so we can make sure you get your Voucher.
[Galaxy S II General] Dhirajlaw:
I agree to what you are saying because in my case inspite of the delivery, the status is still showing as in process.

Transferring Contact to Galaxy S2 from Nokia

I want to know about transferring contacts from Nokia e72 to SGS 2

1. If I create .csv file, then all fields are not properly transferred. And photos are also not transferred.

2. If I sych .vcf file to google, then it is one by one.

3. How to use the method *.vcf >> all_contacts in Windows. (I googled it and it creates one .vcf file for all)

4. Whether Kies software will sych from MS Outlook 2010. (I have not tried)

5. Any other method you know...

Thanks in advance. (I got it today:):))
[Galaxy S II General] bhavyak:
I've done the contacts transfer already; and its a bit of a pain. The easiest method I found was as follows.

Sync your contacts with OVI-In OVI, choose to sync with Windows Contacts-Once Synced; Backup Windows Contacts as a CSV-Then Import to Google. In Google contacts you'll get a list of fields that it can import; just select whatever you want. Aside from contact images I think you'll retain mostly everything using this process. I'll be glad to get off my very buggy symbian E72 once the S2 shows up too!
[Galaxy S II General] kk4htc:
We are in same boat. I appreciate this method. But last time this method did not work well from my HTC Diamond to E72. It created a space between 0 and mobile no. It results in duplicates when I synch in ovi.

I dont have too much images. Did you tried Kies for it.
[Galaxy S II General] bhavyak:
Don't worry about duplicates; Google Contacts will remove the more obvious ones automatically and the less obvious ones it'll give you an option to merge. I don't know about the HTC Diamond to E72 process; but this method worked perfectly for me as far as retaining numbers and email address details was concerned; as well as merging well with my existing google contacts.
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
I just got a call from home saying that the phone has reached.... Thanks to Arjun and Dhruv for making this happen :) :) :)

will PM you the details soon.... To others... wait for a few more hrs... thr is still time... please be hopeful...
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
Received the phone 10 mins back. A big thank you to Arjun and Dhruv. (PM sent). Tested the screen and cover-perfect.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Thanks Avi... Glad you finally got it. Just hook us up with some thanks in previous posts. :)

People, orders are coming in irrespective to the status page.
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
For those who are still waiting for the phone to arrive from Infibeam...BE PATIENT. We all have waited so long and trust me the phone was worth the wait.

Infibeam sent the phone in a thick corrugated cardboard covering..well protected. No damage to the phone.

Once again a big thank you to Arjun and Dhruv for making this happen with Infibeam.
[Galaxy S II General] sachinaik:
I just used bluetooth to transfer all contacts from my n82 to sgs2. Later sync the contacts from sgs2 to google account. Simple :-)
[Galaxy S II General] amitoberoi:
Can the same method be followed to transfer the contacts from iphone 2g to sg2.
[Galaxy S II General] skrao:
am going to AFL office in Jogeshwari to collect my piece... :) :)

AFL said that it was nt taken out fr delivery today and hence lying in their office..was surprised to see that response..am dying for the phone and AFL has not taken out for delivery.. :( :( they were to deliver it by tomo evening..but i decided to collect it myself.. hw can i wait when i knw that its in mumbai :P :P
[Galaxy S II General] akg42:
I too got mine delivered today :)
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Cool, just PM us once you get it.

Congrats, you are the 7th person to have gotten it.

You were the 6th, since you have it already.

Enjoy fellas.
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
I had got mine from my usual chappie. I wanted it over the weekend to set it up to get going for the way I wanted for today. So I did end up paying a bit higher than online price. Anyway price will probably drop by 5-10% or so in a couple of weeks, especially since HTC Sensation is around the corner.

So far so good, great phone and screen. Some teething issues:

1. Phone does heat up in some situations.

2. Very very slight yellow screen - but only when set to a specific brightness setting - leads me to believe it is a software issue.

3. Don't really like the lock screen, will have to look for a replacement.

4. Is eating battery and does take long to re-charge. I may probably use a slightly higher rated charger - 850 -1000 mA, instead of the 700 supplied.

5. The browser does not sometimes re-flow text properly on zooming.

Should have thought about the bluetooth option for transferring contacts. I did it through outlook - now have to edit some contacts for the field types.

Original similar rated Samsung car charger I got for Rs. 390/-.

No deal breakers yet and hopefully expected updates will only make it better.

Such a huge change from symbian.
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
LoL!

Just an interesting update from all major online retailers,

Infibeam has bumped the price to Rs.30,499 Rupees

Flipkart has kept the price at Rs.30,999 Rupees and still selling

whereas

Letsbuy.com is officially out of stock. Who knows when they will be getting more stock. I'm also beginning to wonder what they are doing about accessories that have not been shipped yet, lol.

:cool:

[Galaxy S II General] hawkeye7:
Now my Infibeam order page shows as shipped on 13th june by bluedart with tracking number. It was said to be shipping on 13th june since day1 no wonder. Tracking code doesnt work yet may be because it has just shipped today. Disappointed with infibeam. Thanks to Dhruv and Arjun for getting all of us together for this good deal.
[Galaxy S II General] parassaxena3:

[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Guys battery life is pathetic. I used for 4-5 hours and was showing battery low. Even though used for web browsing, videos , music .
[Galaxy S II General] Unamrakerag:
Even I was dis-appointed with the battery life initially. Its been only 3 days since I have had the phone, but the batter life as improved quite a bit, since the first charge.

On the 1st day, the phone lasted only 4-5 hours on a full charge. Of course I was continuously busy with my phone, syncing contacts, setting wifi, personalizing settings, setting up my accounts and all that. But still 4-5 hrs was so less.

I had to charge it 3 times on the 1st day.

But from the 2nd day onwards battery has started to improve.

Today I was able to get full 12hrs out of it. I have also optimized it for efficient battery performance, screen brightness , wifi off (most of the time), auto sync disabled.

What I do leave on all the time is the EDGE data connection , Nimbuzz, Gmail and the Android market app continuously running. Even after that I got 12 hrs of usage,its not as much as I hoped, but I can live with it, who knows it might improve further once I stop tinkering with it all the time.
[Galaxy S II General] mangodolly:
Got the device today. Was shipped Ahmedabad to Banaglore, arrived Bangalore 12th, reached delivery facility 13th, picked up from courier office 13th, else would have delivered 14th.

Super slim, awesome screen, still tinkering around. Huge thanks to dhruv and arjun!!

[Galaxy S II General] pankaj87:
Aramex's site is showing "Shipment received at operations facility" for the last two days. No furthur status update is given and the no. for customer care which they have given can't be connected by mobile.

Ppl who have received from Letsbuy pl tell how many more days will it take for the delivery ?
[Galaxy S II General] amitoberoi:
I think it would be better if you call their office in Delhi and check from them if the customer care no. in your city is not reachable. Maybe that will help. Tell them you had sent a package from delhi to your place and want to check the status.
[Galaxy S II General] buBleZ:
This is how my shipment from letsbuy was for s2. Note that 4th and 5th are sat and sun. Otherwise mostly my shipment would have reached in a day.
