Payed the 5000 advance at heera panna, they said stock will mostly arrive by 11am, and they will call me as soon as it comes. Finally!!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
For how much??
[Galaxy S II General] SohumD:
32890 full mrp. They werent budging on price and said they will get very few units. There were 2 other guys prepaying in the store at the very same time, so really no room for negociation.
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
Ohh I too wouldve got from there itself since HP is close to my place. But I'll be going to Maaru NX tomorrow. Their price of 29,990 is just too good to let go. Just hope I get there in time before they run out of stocks.
[Galaxy S II General] SohumD:
Nice, i wanted to do that but just wont have the time to go all the way to vashi for a while, and my office is at tardeo so just went with it.

Anyways best of luck! Lets hope were holding shiny new gs2's this time tomorrow!
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:

Ah... the wild goose chase comes close to an end.. lol..

So by tomorrow afternoon we should see some pics from some proud geese owners :D

The Samsung Geese S II is headed for a landing.. :D hmm... the excitement made me silly :p
[Galaxy S II General] sharma_sid:
have the Delhi dealers relocated themselves to Mumbai and South???

no news as yet of availability in Delhi
[Galaxy S II General] JSAHITA:
Maaru is just 5min from my location he told me now the stocks would arrive on friday
[Galaxy S II General] mangodolly:
drhuvmalik, arjun90,

You have done a phenomenal job in sharing fairly accurate information and ensuring that it has been verified. I have been watching this forum for more than a month now and appreciate, as do many of the members here, your initiative in leveraging your contacts at Infibeam to get us a great deal.

Thanks, guys, keep it up!

Will PM you with my details for the Infibeam deal
[Galaxy S II General] androidsos:
The flipkart offer is not really appealing and it seems that the pre-ordered letsbuy option seems the best with 32830, also they are giving some accessories even though I don't know how the quality of the accessories will be.

Is there any outlet in Pune where this will be available or any info where it might be available very soon will be appreciated.
[Galaxy S II General] kannanX10:
I already own a SGS2(UK/XW/XEU based) waiting to be unboxed by tmr morning........my dealer has confimed me that i will have another SGS2(india DD/INU based) by 4th for 29k..................
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
WTF? But I just spoke to him an hour back??? He said he's 100% sure. When did you call him?
[Galaxy S II General] gurdeepsj:
yes it will be available in Pune tomorrow
[Galaxy S II General] androidsos:
gurdeepsj - thanks. Any particular outlet you may know where I can search for.
[Galaxy S II General] JSAHITA:
I spoke to him 20 back
[Galaxy S II General] gurdeepsj:
i will tell you but dont reach there before me ;):p...its in pimpri radhika communication....
[Galaxy S II General] androidsos:
Thanks just heard about it from a friend as well, seems it will be priced at 29.something k if my friend has gotten his info right.

Still no offer anwhere in Pune, Mumbai or online in India which will make me cancel my letsbuy pre-order. Do let know when/if you buy the beast tomorrow.
[Galaxy S II General] gurdeepsj:
Sure, he told me that he will sell the phone for 32,000/-
[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
Thanks Mate... Will Be Waiting :)
[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
Thats Great :)
[Galaxy S II General] tarun.nair:
Bangalore availability.

It appears that many of you have received confirmation about stores availability by tomorrow or so. However, in Bangalore there is no such confirmation yet. Most stores are sticking to the 9th June availability and that includes the Samsung dealer, Roshni Enterprises in Bangalore. :( I just hope they do launch it at a decent price on the 9th of June. If any of you are from Bangalore and have heard anything different, please post! Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II General] androidsos:
Not sure, I have just heard rumours that it might be below 30k, not sure though.
[Galaxy S II General] blackheart2925:
---deleted---
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
It may seem that stocks are arriving to dealers BUT are not authorized to sell. They will anyway due to high demand which assures them that their stock will be sold while it can, otherwise the stock will be sitting on shelves.

if you pick it up, great and congrats. For those of us who are still waiting, soon enough.... :)
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
Guys!!! I still think XDA Offer is the best...

1. We will be sure that we get the mobile legally.

2. Group discount is confirmed here unlike the shops because they will surely keep it at a high price due to the demand and it is only a few bunch of people like us who are willing to buy it online so the demand for them is more than online shops.

3. We waited so long, why not wait till 9th June. You can bite on to something if you really cant control yourself.

4. I think we also need to divide the group in two. One - who want the mobile immediately and are ready to pay the MRP cost as well. Two - those who are ready to wait a few more days to get the mobile at a discounted price.

5. And all this excitement is creating a unnecessary hype and chaos. So lets relax, work as a group and get a good discount rather than fighting away to become the first.

and thanks to Dhruv and Arjun for the wonderful effort... really appreciated... I still havent added my name to the list as I am waiting for a proper quote from either of the online retailers... if I find the offer good I will close my eyes and order them here..

What I think the offer could be is this.

30,000 + accessories

or 29,000 without accessories

And for those who are getting the phone tomorrow or day after... please post an un-boxing video... would love to watch it :)
[Galaxy S II General] mahistuffs:
Letsbuy.com has sent a mail to place a order for the phone and the shipping will happen by June 4th :D
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
I too got the Email. But Im gonna wait till 3rd and try to get it at 30k locally.
[Galaxy S II General] sagarguyus:

sorry dint wntd to post it twice...it ws by mistake.
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
The yellow tint issue is all hyped up by the media. Its not really much of an issue and most people would hardly notice it!!

The camera pink spot issue has been fixed with the latest firmware update.

Theres really nothing that major to worry about.
[Galaxy S II General] vinaymonu25:
Worrying is natural when u hear something like dis abt ur loved things..
[Galaxy S II General] vinaymonu25:

[Galaxy S II General] hacksome:

[Galaxy S II General] harshet:
@hacksome, could you let us know where you got your phone from and for how much?
[Galaxy S II General] amjath:
It is imported from UK

http://www.vinodlive.com/2011/06/02/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-quick-review/

See comments below he answered it.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
So People, I just received a call from Infibeam and they expect to get updated today in regards to Deals and Pricing; they will get back to me AS SOON AS THEY HAVE NEWS.

Consider the good gesture from them calling to inform me that they are still on top of it.

Hopefully I will get back to you guys soon enough.
[Galaxy S II General] Hilmesh:
@ Dhruv,

I am also waiting for their offer.

Hope it is exciting. Good Work in helping everybody out here
[Galaxy S II General] jaisun2004:
Thanks

Great News Buddy.. thanks.. :)
[Galaxy S II General] sandsm:
I am still confused\lost .....

Will Indian version have NFC ?
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
I just called Maaru NX and he said it will be coming today but at night 8 to 9pm!

I think he wasn't sure this time. Can anybody else call and confirm from him?
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
Good news !

Just spoke to a dealer in Mumbai. He claims he will get his stock ( though very limited) this evening. His price 30K. But seeing the trend till now, i will believe it till i see it.
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
Which dealer?
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
Bhavya electonics in goregaon. I spoke to just a bloke at the counter, not the owner...so i am not sure how reliable the news is. the second dealer in the suburbs has yet to open for the day. I think its important to confirm at more than one place.
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
Call this guy, Maaru NX from Vashi and lemme know what he tells you. He seemed pretty confident yesterday, but today he didnt seem much. He told me stocks would come at night 8pm!

[Galaxy S II General] Beautyspin:
How come there is no info from the Vodafone? Are they really selling S2 or is the plan changed? Or is it only for a few centers. It is all very confusing?
[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
Yes, waste fellows..they are yet to update thier site..do not know they are going to do it or not....no update from Vodafone Hyderabad stores..

Any update from Delhi or Mumbai Vodafone stores
[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
Sleepless nights to come

Its Wednesday.. I woke up at 5 AM.. :eek:It was quite a sleepless night.. I was reading the updates regarding the Group Deal and watching some youtube videos abt the SGS II.. Lol I know it was too early..:rolleyes: I was too excited to know when this beauty come to my hands, about the deal and offers tht we are all getting, abt the price etc.. :):D Time is not going fast as it does earlier.. :confused::mad::(

@ Dhruv nd Arjun: Thanks for the update.. Thts really is a great news.. :D:) This news sure gonna bring some peace in my mind but not for too long.. Get back to us with the good news as fast as u can.. Thanks again to both Dhruv and Arjun for ur efforts and keeping all of us together as a team.. Keep up the good work.. :D:)
[Galaxy S II General] ashok:
Is the problem with the dispaly is causing the delay????
[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
Where are u at trivandrum?? yesterday u said something abt a dealer u know who already have SGS II?? how is it going??:)
[Galaxy S II General] sajadkhan806:
right, look at gsmarena boys, they made a preview then after some days a full review. and they didnt noticed the yellow tint until they red about it in some forums. if the experts cnt notice then.......
[Galaxy S II General] ashok:
I am at vanchiyoor. My friend told me yesterday that he is sure that i will get the item on 3rd. He has updated me today that he will get back to me by evening after contacting the samsung executive.
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
There is no Delay due to screen issues or any other issues for that matter. We have not exceeded the launch date, lol, we are still waiting for it to be officially out by 9th of June. Until then, who so ever gets it is just plain lucky. For some, the wait will be worth it, for others who are just joining us, you got a break since the bombshell just dropped and you witnessed a great device launching.

For many like Arjun and I who have been following this device since FEB, a few days wont kill us.
[Galaxy S II General] themanufan:
I also spoke to him just now..

He said it would come by tonight..

I guess we'll just have to wait and watch..

Lets believe him when he says he has it..
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
Yes Dhruv, it has been a long wait for this phone and a few days will not kill us. But the excitement builds as the dates go by. Any clue on when would Infibeam give you the offer price. All i can say is i hope the phone lives up to the expectations for each person who has waited patiently (or impatiently) for the beast. For the current times, this phone is one of the best you can have. So i hope everyone enjoys the phone rather than thinking what is missing and what could come in the future.
[Galaxy S II General] Ghostbustersin:
No word on price yet, but two dealers from New Delhi confirmed that they would get the stock by tonight. They were pretty hesitant to confirm the price, so it was just a waste of time to ask if they know anything about the in-box contents, but still i asked them and you know the answer!

Will let you guys know if they call me up after they get the stock tonight, as they promised. :)
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:

IN ADDITION...

Some more news will be posted shortly by Arjun or I. We didnt want to put our eggs in one basket so we have been in communication with VARIOUS other online retailers. Discussions are going on as we speak, the outcome will soon be posted.
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
***Current Status***

Okay, so I just got of the phone with another Online Retailer (apart from Flipkart and Infibeam). We should be getting a proper deal going and will update you all once everything is confirmed. I am going to compare which deal is more attractive. Don't expect an update today, but just to keep you all informed; we are getting close to working out an attractive package. - Cheers! :)
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
@ Arjun and Dhruv,

Any word from Infibeam about when they will give you their offer and what is the price. The reason i mention is the word from some dealers is the phones come in tonight and the price about 30K. Are we expecting a price similar to this or a couple of grand lower.
[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
If u are going to compare which deal is better then u already have some details with you..:) We are all excited hear from you..:D Kindly let us know wht u got till now.. Please..:( This waiting is making me crazy.. Hope u understand my situation.. :(:(
[Galaxy S II General] ronak_1078:
What other dealer is offering apart from novelty communications in delhi?
[Galaxy S II General] gurdeepsj:
got a call from a dealer in pune he asked me to come and pick the phone in next hour for 32,000/-
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
Sorry, we cannot disclose any information at the moment for 2 reasons.

1) It could potentially jeopardize negotiations that are currently going on

2) Not much info to give, what we know is what you know. (Aside from Pt 1)

Hope you can all understand.
[Galaxy S II General] Beautyspin:
Hi Dhruv -

How about http://www.univercell.in/mobiles/displayMobileDetails?productId=28621. It is showing as Rs. 28,000 but not available currently. Maybe we can have a deal with them so that we can go to the local shop and pick it up. Just my two cents. That way we do not have to worry about screen issues (dead pixel, yellow tint etc.,)
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
@ Dhruv. Please check PM
[Galaxy S II General] kannanX10:

[Galaxy S II General] hawkeye7:
It is not 28k. It is 28k approx. They have not fixed the price yet as they dont have any details. And they are showing this same price even before the launch of SGS2 in india on 25th may.
[Galaxy S II General] vu2ikl:
More info please. Even i want it asap.
[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
I am sorry.. I can understand:) Keep posting the updates once u have it.. Thanks :D:)
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
We have been in communication with them and they dont really play ball... They wont give good deals or promotions.

We can understand the anxiety but why cant people just sit back for a second and think about it...

You have the following methods to obtain this device.

Flipkart (We are in discussion with them)

Infibeam (We are in finalization discussion with them)

Letsbuy.com (We are in discussion with them)

Univercell (We are in discussion, they are also eager to sell the device but no info from Samsung yet)

India Mart (Were in discussion, Not to concrete in our opinion - Shady Deal)

Samsung Distributor in Gujarat (In discussion about ONLY discounts, no accessories)

Vodafone (A good friend has specified that only Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi will see details)

Dealers across India with Stock (Nothing to do with us.)

Here is the info... Now who so ever is interested, please wait for an update, whoever is looking to purchase it from else where, please proceed and good luck.

Please dont try to PUSH your luck and expect early availability. Samsung has confirmed 9Th of June onwards, obtaining DETAILS and or the DEVICE prior is privilege. I am not saying the device cant be obtained earlier, but we are thinking about the masses and EVERYONE here, not just ourselves. If no one is interested, it makes our life a bit easier and we will just get it from our sources.

Thanks for your consideration.

[Galaxy S II General] mrigeshgaurav:
Vodafone hyderabad is getting it too, however they also just start taking pre orders now. Handset will be delivered only on 10th June. Good thing is they are also providing all the accessories letsbuy.com was offering initially apart from the data package.

[Galaxy S II General] sharma_sid:
can u pls share the details of the dealer who have confirmed for today or tomo's availability in Delhi?
[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
Are you going today itself...please do not go..lol
[Galaxy S II General] themanufan:
I just got an sms from another dealer in mumbai saying that the stock will arrive tonight and be available for sale from tomorrow.

There cannot be so much smoke w/o fire i think.. 3 separate dealers have given me the same info so i', hoping the stocks really must be on their way.. :)

The funny thing is, Alfa and Mobile Point next to it, two shops which sell it cheapest (apart from Heera Panna), still don't have any info on availability. They just say call next week.. It may just be that the guy answerin the phone has no clue, i dunno..

Anyways, will keep you guys posted un case i get confirmation on availability from somewhere..
