Thanks ya opening paypal account.
[Galaxy S II General] mnm82:
yipee.... :):):):D:D:D got my sgs2 here in udaipur at 30k....

may be a thousand more than most of the places but this is not a big city so not a lot of good shops........

the patience paid off i guess as it was very hard to resist the infibeam deal but somehow i dont believe in online shops..... hope u guys get it soon...

there seem to be no dead pixel......

trying to get a feel of it..... will be back later.....
[Galaxy S II General] mnm82:
guys can u tell me whats the first charging duration of the sgs2 should be..... i mean should i detach the charger as soon as the battery is full or should i overcharge it.....
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
There is nothing like overcharging... Once the battery is full then that is it... unplug and enjoy the phone... :cool::cool:
[Galaxy S II General] thegr8anand:

[Galaxy S II General] parassaxena3:
hey guyzz..!!

jux ordered..

1- Amzer® Anti-Glare Screen Protector.. " http://www.fommy.co.in/samsung/Amzer-Anti-Glare-Screen-Protector-with-Cleaning-Cloth-P91270.htm "

and

2- Amzer® Luxe Argyle High Gloss TPU Soft Gel Skin Case - Smoke Grey.. " http://www.fommy.co.in/samsung/Amze...-TPU-Soft-Gel-Skin-Case-Smoke-Grey-P91272.htm "
[Galaxy S II General] tarun.nair:
The second one (gel case) is a good choice. I think even @dhruvmalik ordered it and when I saw the link, I liked it too :D However, I have had a bad experience with the Amzer Anti-glare screen protector. I received it yesterday and tried it but it made the display hazy and had other issues. However, it does give good protection against fingerprints. The Matt finish, however, isn't my cup of Tea! Anyway, hope you find it useful :)
[Galaxy S II General] parassaxena3:
hey thnx for d info. but plz let me knw that is that anti-glare screen protector is rly not gud or i should cancel it..?? :(
[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
got it Today

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120724817096

Ordered it on 30th May..

Good one.
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Thats fast. I too ordered this one.
[Galaxy S II General] tarun.nair:
That's subjective. It has its plus and minus points. Let me quickly mention some points:

It surely offers resistance to fingerprints and smudges. :)

It makes the display a bit hazy. :mad: :eek:

It degrades viewing angles due to its Matt finish. :mad:

Even from a distance anyone can make out that you have a screen protector on. :(

Let me try and post a pic or two. Maybe that will help make up your mind. Will try and post a couple of pics soon.
[Galaxy S II General] tarun.nair:
Here are 2 pics: http://goo.gl/8jp86

Not sure if these would help a great deal. I clicked one with the display on and the other with display off. On the pic with the display on, notice the haze, especially around the bottom part of the display. Similarly, with the display off, the haze is evident across the screen. Don't intend to make a mountain of a molehill but the best feature of the phone is its display and I don't like it being compromised in any way. Hope this helps! :)

Hi, anyone bought any microSD card, if so from where and what class/make.

Hmm yeah, trying to be optimistic here and hoping its some sort of a bug in their system. i.e. when it counts down to a release date it resets the release date or something..

Gosh.. this device has wreaked havoc on me emotions for like more than a month. [Inner Voice: need to stay strong Dpak.. You can hold it together man..] :D

Accessories etc for the Samsung Galaxy S II!

Hi All,

While many of us are enjoying this beast of a phone, I would quickly like some help from the pro's out here about some doubts which I am having -

1. What best screen guard / full body cover to use; (keeping tarun's experience with Amzer in mind...)

2. What back cover to use (would this be required if I go in for a FULL BODY Clear Screen Protector Skin?)

3. What cover/pouch for carrying this set in pocket etc? (any Leather options or the stock samsung pouch would do? Are magnet based covers/flaps safe for the phone?)

4. What brand/class memory card to use? If I go in for a 32 GB card (class 4/Sandisk/Transcend etc) would it slow the phone down?

5. What accessories are MUST for the phone (HD Cable, Micro to USB conveerters, Car chargers?).

It would be great if people can post some links for working accessorizes! I remember seeing someone had ordered a Nokia based converter cable which is in-compatible with SGSII.

If someone wants to add more questions/tips about accessories, they are welcome.

Although due to some unforeseen financial reasons I was unable to go in for the InfiBeam offer, I may be able to go for the Letsbuy option in the coming days.

Either ways I will be getting this beauty in my hands sooner or later.

That's why the above questions.

And one more thing, as I have been following this thread maybe since the start (?) I would take this moment to thank the 2 champs of this thread (and forum) Dhruv and Arjun, for their initiative and drive to organize such a successful group purchase deal! Kudos to you guys!

Hope to join you all for the accessories deals too!

Thanks!

Current Versions does not support NFC

Hi friends, it seems that current versions of our beloved Sansung Galaxy S 2 isn't armed with NFC, See the reply from Samsung_India to other people

https://twitter.com/Samsung_India

So i guess SGS2 with NFC will be dispatched in future...

& sterday i got my Black Mesh original case & it looks awesome :D got it 4m South Korea within 6 days :)

2morrow morning i'll get my Genie (that's my mobile's name :cool: ) for ~28.5k thru friend's friend...
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Yes, that is a mistake. Somehow it changes to Jan 2007 at midnight. I have informed them just a second ago and it will be changed within an hour or so.

Thanks All.
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Hey guys which USB OTG cable is supported by S2? does Nokia ones work? If not, then plzz suggest others.
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
I gave them a call as soon as I made that post... and the guy said they will change it but i guess he slept off :D I also followed them with an e-mail and also asked for the release of the phone.. yet to get a reply... :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Customer Service will be able to HELP you with YOUR order, but they will not be able to answer those types of questions. We are dealing with the ones who have that authority to respond to our questions, Customer Service only follows the news they are given. That takes some time to trickle down to them.

I have informed the Corp Manager and as soon as the Web team will get in the office, it will be rectified. It seems to be a bug in their DB.

That video should help u... Kies is way to simple :) BTW if u have a PC u can download a software frm samsung.. its more like Nokia PC suite :p
[Galaxy S II General] srinivas.d:
Deal looks good. But so far I read about India Plaza service in many sites. They wont care about customers if you purchase through online you will "never get the purchased item On Time". So I am planing to go to their store directly. I think i was their in B'lore Indira nagar.
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
Besant Nagar in Chennai?? which shop??
[Galaxy S II General] Joe_Nalin:
Could you please provide the web link for the case, if its in 6days its awesome..hope its not express shipping!
[Galaxy S II General] androidsos:
First check the usb drivers. If you are using XP, you will need samsung phone USB drivers. They are installed by default while installing kies on your pc.

Next -

1. Do not connect the USB cable

2. Go to settings- wireless and networks - USB - connect to pc

3. Connect the USB cable to pc now :D.

4. press the button connect in usb storage.

Voila! you have full access.
[Galaxy S II General] hawkice:

[Galaxy S II General] hawkice:
I 'm not sure buddy, my friend only 'll get it 4 me i guess... & if u r a normal customer i think the cost is around 29.9k...

[Galaxy S II General] Joe_Nalin:
If possible could you post some pics, sorry to ask more :)

[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
I got my Red Mesh case yesterday. And it looks just awesome. Doesn't add any major width to the phone and makes it feel just the right weight.

Some pics:

Also the case comes with 2 free Screen protectors. Perfect fit and pretty good quality too.

did u receive the 2 screen gaurds ?? r they worth ?????

Nope inside of case doesn't have silicon. Its all hard plastic. But it fits very nicely!

Yes the screen guards are pretty good. They too are a perfect fit.
[Galaxy S II General] swapnilp18:

hey thnx for repiez and pics. ok i cancelled my order. but plz can u suggest me that "Amzer® Mirror Screen Protector" is better then anti glare one..??

plz suggest me the best one and i wanna buy a case also.. that i think this one " http://www.fommy.co.in/samsung/Amze...-TPU-Soft-Gel-Skin-Case-Smoke-Grey-P91272.htm " is good enough..??

hey anyone plz do me a reply coz i have to order that today only as i m movin out on 16th plzz help.. :(
[Galaxy S II General] srinivas.d:
In B'lore based on my knowledge looks like 29,500/- is best pricing in retail stores. try this ph no.(9916769777) location details of the retailer I will provide later. first check with him he is ready to give for that pricing bcoz he is having last piece as he said(not sure). He will say 30k. after that every thing depends on your bargain skills.
[Galaxy S II General] hawkice:
Thx Tanmay® for answering them :)

If u go to link mentioned in the earlier posts and login to ur eBay account u urself can see the INR mentioned thr, for now the cost is 9.7 AUD which is ~469INR but i got it for 11.99 AUD = ~560INR

& Oooops sry 'm getting my Genie 2morrow (Saturday morning) and sterday i couldn't sleep at all, only dreams abt Genie since just less than 30hours for it to be in my hands :D
[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
I got it but I damaged 2 screen protectors..lol

So ordered exim screen protectors

http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260797150130&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:IN:1123

My suggestion is go for shimshop black hard case or case - mate and order exim screen protectors
[Galaxy S II General] tarun.nair:
I think the Case is fine. I too liked it. Dhruv had ordered it as well. Infact I might order it too :)

The mirror screen protector should be better than the previous one as it doesn't have the Matt finish. When the screen is switched off, it would reflect as a mirror. Hope you are fine with that. Overall it should be better than the last one.
[Galaxy S II General] prashanth1990:
thank you!

n wat about indiaplaza! its located in HAL! can i buy one from there?
[Galaxy S II General] swapnilp18:

[Galaxy S II General] srinivas.d:
If you want device Imm. don't go for that. Else you can and as other members of the forum said abt gift certificates. I had a discussion with India Plaza. I came up with few doubts which I am trying to send to they but their customer care feedback page is not working. So again I planning to call them. If you want to talk with them these are the contact no. 080-25208795, 25270906, 25270907.
[Galaxy S II General] hawkice:
All inclusive :)
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Yea, I have ordered it as well. It seems to look as if it would be a good FIT. This is just a temp solution, but that RED Mesh Case does look hott.

I am going to put Invisible Shield (Or Similar) over it and toss on that case. Otherwise Invisible Shield and Sena Leather Case.
[Galaxy S II General] hawkice:
Looks nice & i got those 2 that came with Black Mesh Case, Plus i 've ordered Xtreme Guard Invisible shield also so don't know which one to apply on the screen???

Just wondering whether gelly case or hard case.. which one is better??

and if hard case.. wont it scratch the body of sgs2 due to the usage?? i guess u can understand what I mean.. at the boders of the case it might actually take the paint off the sgs2 body???

I have never used any of these other than a pouch... so not sure of the usage..

Hey Dhruv, the order was paid in full on the 6th, but my account still says:

You don't have any reward points or credit balance.

Im not in a hurry for the credit.. just an FYI : )
[Galaxy S II General] kk4htc:
Suggest me

I have pre booked on Letsbuy on 25th May then paid full on 3rd June. No delivery as yet.

Called them and was told shipping tomorrow evening. So it will go to Mondays.

I am thinking to cancel the same and will lose 3.5% though.

Any one here from Jaipur can tell me lowest price and name of stores here. Soon..

I dont think it is good to go for online buying for such critical purchase except through this forum and with help of Arjun and Druv.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
We have been informed that the credit will made available after delivery of the device to complete the transaction. This is to ensure that you HAVE received your device.

Although you have Paid in full, the same policies have been used for COD & Full Payment. It makes it easier with billing and so on.

Thank You.
[Galaxy S II General] ckhurana:
Guys, anyone care to reply to the points above? Also, any differences between LINK1 and LINK2 or is it just the cost?
[Galaxy S II General] aviatorarun:
Cost @ July

Hi Guys,

Though this is going to be my first android as well as smartphone for me, I can only buy this sleek razor device July first week. All i want to know is, whether the price will go up by July? or it will come down?

Please thrown some insight..

Regards,

Arun
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Thank you for your confidence... Although I cannot advise which is the best route, I would recommend you call up Letsbuy and inform them that you will cancel unless they can ensure your product will be shipped today.

Also, if you can find it in your local area, you can go for the hunt. Tomorrow is SAT and there are plenty of places you can find it. I am sure the Jaipur guys will shed some light here.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
The prices are certainly bound to fall, but as to how much, only the marketers can speculate here. All we know is Samsung can slash the price to 27k by July. Although that is VERY unlikely, nothing is impossible.

All you should be concerned is with the stock availability by July. Since its only about 3 weeks away, I think you will all right and it will hit all the markets by then. You should also be able to bargain the prices down by then.
[Galaxy S II General] ssingh:
Please advice on good quality screen protector and case.
[Galaxy S II General] kk4htc:
What should be ideal price to buy in cash. I suppose 29500. Someone here posted that he bought at this price. Any one from Jaipur here..

I cant believe when people ask the same question that was just posted ABOVE theirs...

HaHaHa.. This made my day (Aside from the SGS II Shipping of course)
[Galaxy S II General] kk4htc:
Any addresses from Jaipur about price or stores...
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
The XtremeGuard ones are same as Zagg. Their material is different that normal screen protectors. You'll get a sort of rubbery feel to the screenguard from XtremeGuards/Zagg but they are more resistant to scratches/micro scratches.

The one we got with the case have are a simple plastic material. They will get scratched easily but offer a generally smooth feel while gliding fingers.

I too am waiting for XtremeGuards. Will apply the back and sides and keep the normal screen protector on the front till it gets scratched and will then apply the Front Xtremeguard after it does.
