I too called up letsbuy.com...they said it's a technical fault and to ignore the message and also mentioned it will be available by 2nd week of June only.

:(
[Galaxy S II General] ronak_1078:
any dealer you guys know in delhi who said it will be available with them next week?
[Galaxy S II General] hravnish:
Confirmed nEWS

Hi,

The DP for galaxy s2 is 29990 all over India which Includes VAT.

Now the point is if the shop keepers make a hype and say limited stock or some silly reason they could sell it at 31k, 32k also..

But do remember you can get this piece for 29500 below DP.. !!

I have already told my dealer to book one.. !!

Its not worth paying 33k on any website for pre order.

Case one can get for 500 Bucks and screen guard is available for 100 Rs.

Even tough i have ordered a Genuine Original Zenus case from South Korea it would be landing up in 4-5 days.. !!

The only point is HML adapter which would be avialable soon.. !!

SGS2 is launching in India at very lower price then UK & US because of the Indian Market, and i respect everyone for that.. !!

I might get my SGS2 within 3-4 days..

Waiting to grab it and make other jealous
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
No, I have NO dealer confirmation. But I did get some news regarding it reaching dealers by tuesday or so.. Nothing concrete :(

@android_master : Which Dealer in Mumbai? Are you sure they will get the shipment on Monday?
[Galaxy S II General] hravnish:
Letsbuy is shipping the old pre orders which they started on 22nd of may.. !! those pieces were told to be delivered within 3rd June. :) :)
[Galaxy S II General] mahistuffs:
:) for a moment I could not believe it ...so unexpected ....but then turns out to be a human error....

everyone has received a different docket number....wonder if the S2 is already with bluedart but with a condition of not to ship it till 9th.
[Galaxy S II General] hravnish:
I dont have Delhi dealer info.. !! but price is confirmed..

it would be available in next week

"Notice"

Guys, look through all 147 pages of this thread! Let me assure that what you are reading from other people is speculation and NOT official. Over the past few months, users in this thread claimed that a release of the Samsung Galaxy S2 in India would be on such-and-such date, and there was NEVER a positive outcome. The official announcement date was May 25th, as stated by Samsung themselves, last month.

Getting to the point...

The product should be made available to dealers and online vendors by the 1st week of JUNE. Letsbuy.com who is a registered channel partner for Samsung WOULD NOT mess up a release of Samsung's Flagship phone this easily.

For those who wish to continue with the Infibeam deal, please wait, for those who wish to withdraw, I wish you all good luck. :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] hawkice:
:D Guys let the good news pour in but at the same time do keep the real intention alive "Excellent offer from Infibeam" so buddies plz keep track of that too... Good accessories & cost ~29K is definitely a good selling point :p lets hope they give these and also deliver soon (just wishing aloud) good luck 2 all of us for getting this BEAST in our hands :cool:

[Galaxy S II General] harshet:
I too got a message from letsbuy saying order has been shipped. I call them and was told that they had sent out a guy to collect the pre-order money and the phone itself will be shipped in 2nd week of June.

Anyone know a dealer in Hyderabad/Chennai who will have the phone early next week itself?

Which is the retailer that will provide you a phone by Wednesday. i am in Mumbai too and would be very excited of getting the phone early
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
There is no point in going to them and there is nothing like discount there,SGS 2 will be selling at around Rs 29,000-30,000..........Rs 32890 is an MRP,when was the last time{ofcourse preorder is always costlier} electronics items{mobiles specifically} were sold at MRP.
[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
Apart from these checkings, anything missing?.

Check List before buying this Beast Phone :

1) check for dead pixel test

( code: *#0*# )

2) Yellowish spot on the screen

( code:*#*#0*#*#* )

3) Red bug in Camera

Check Camera
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:

Hi fellas,

I have been following this thread and read all the posts till 153 page, atlast i planned to post this comment. :)

After seeing the screen defect issues on this forum planned to buy this phone via retailer by checking my phone personally, y because i have faced problem with Samsung LCD Monitor and it took 3 months for them to replace it.

@shaik786 can u post more issues and also there is a pink spot isuue in the middle of the camera seen a video in youtube. U can look by urself cause xda not letting me to post the link lol :D
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
1. With these codes you will get various colors on the screen (1 color at a time) so that you can find dead pixel/stuck pixel i.e. a pixel whose colors won't change.

2. The yellow color issue is an OLED production issue and thus it affects all Samsung phones having AMOLED. You can't do anything about them, have to live with it.

3. The pink spot camera issues has been fixed with the latest firmware update. So not to worry there :)
[Galaxy S II General] amjath:
Chennai fellas plz help

Went to Samsung site click on "Where to buy" choosed dealer locator and searched for dealer in Chennai it says "No dealer found in "Chennai". Please try a different zip code or a wider radius.":eek::eek:

To my horror i searched for dealer in Tamil Nadu it says "No dealer found in "Tamil Nadu". Please try a different zip code or a wider radius". :confused::confused::confused:

Is that means buying in other retailer which is not mentioned in Samsung is not good:(:(:(
[Galaxy S II General] amjath:
@chattymango: U can find no where 32GB version dude!!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] chattymango:
Please suggest me the best CLASS10 32GB CARD for GALAXY S II.
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
The best class 10 32gigs will cost about INR 6000! Check out Ebay.com you'll find some good deals.

However you can find a Class 4 32Gigs for pretty cheap ~ 2400rs
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
That's a pure myth atleast in Android,infact class 4 is still the best,I have 16GB class 4 sd card & it performs quite fast{got it for Rs 1,650}:D:D

No need for even class 6 or 10,infact if you visit Nexus 1 forum{i am using it more than 15months now} you will know what i am talking about
[Galaxy S II General] chattymango:
For contineous smooth/fast read write, video recording @1080p. i think CLASS10 will be required. Price is OK. I need a best brand. How is Kingston microSDHC Class 10. Is it compatible with GALAXY S II. Check the Below link of Kingston INDIA.

http://www.kingston.com/india/press/2011/product/05b.asp

anyone has a review of this card. Request all to kindly share.
[Galaxy S II General] amjath:
this could help u. i think class 6 is enough.:)

[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
Thanks Buddy..so dead pixel is major issue..
[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
Any video showing dead pixel on Galaxy S II?.
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
With the current advancements in production techniques dead pixels/stuck pixel problems are very rare! There's a chance you won't find any video showing dead pixels on the SGS2 atleast for now.

But still if you've ordered via Letsbuy, check your device for Dead Pixels and then pay the money.
[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
Screen shot defintely would help. any screen shot?. OK, I just need to notice the screen for pixel which is not chaging...thats all..correct?.

Nfc nfc nfc...

It is obvious now that India will get the non-NFC version,

125.30 x 66.10 x 8.49mm (according to their Website)

whereas South Korea (a region confirmed to have NFC),

125.30 x 66.10 x 8.89mm

Hope this clears up the NFC-doubt. If anyone does confirm NFC, they will get an award, - Cheers! :D
[Galaxy S II General] kalpik:
The extra thickness in the korea model is because it has an extra antenna to connect to high speed internet. It has nothing to do with NFC.

Samsung officially said in the press event that Indian version will have NFC. It will be very embarrassing if it doesn't.
[Galaxy S II General] bharat_xda:
Actually, it's supposedly due to the TDMB chip inside (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-DMB).

There was a post here on XDA from a Korean user confirming it, can't seem to find it.

EDIT: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13274442&postcount=11
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Update!

NFC or not, the phone will still be highly praised in India. Not many folks (including dealers) who are buying this phone don't even know about NFC. I doubt NFC will be included; Samsung India talks too much. But, who knows what the result will be. Tomorrow should be an interesting day. @ Letsbuy.com customers, keep us informed.

In the meantime, as a reminder, me and dhruvmalik are working on getting a special deal (group-purchase) working with infibeam.com which would enable all of us to purchase an attractive bundle and discount.

If any of you are interested, PM me (arjun90) and include the following:

"Your Username | Infibeam" We currently have over 30 interested XDA users. This should make the overall package very significant.

- Cheers!
[Galaxy S II General] ashok:
Are you sure that infibeam price will be less than retail, also it will atleast include mirco sd to HDMI adapter. Then i am really interested. But i kinda worry is that more people is telling about dead pixels and yellowish on the screen. So i am afraid will this happen during the transit. So kindly confirm the price and if there will be any bundle available with it.
[Galaxy S II General] bharat_xda:
I guess your skepticism is valid. NFC models haven't shipped to the UK(where there's a huge investment towards NFC infrastructure for the Olympics next year). None of the other EU countries have got it either. It's also been confirmed that Australia won't be getting it anytime soon too.

Maybe there was a defective batch of NFC-based models which weren't good enough for the UK/EU so we're getting it instead ;)

Guess we'll know next week.
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Response to Return / Exchange / Refund Policy with Infibeam

YES, it will be cheaper than retail, be rest-assured! =)

In respect to Return / Exchange / Refund Policy of Infibeam's,

Don't worry, if any damage occurs during transit, you do the following:

1). You first pay the courier company (if you are purchasing by COD)

2). Go home and open the package

3). Play-around-with-it for a while

4). Any issues that you spot like dead pixels and a yellowish screen (these issues are considered to occur as a result of mishandling during transit) should be reported to Infibeam within 1-2 business days, no later.

Here is some news I got from Infibeam yesterday,

"Hi Arjun,

We will hold accountability in case of any damages to the product during transit. If there is any tampering or damage to the device before it is delivered to you, we will take care of the problem. The product that would be delivered to you would be a brand new product..."

BTW-

If you are facing problems with the phone as a result of faulty delivery, you first contact Infibeam (explain them the problem that may have resulted because of the courier company), re-seal the item, and return the item to Infibeam for replacement (Exchange)

If you are still not satisfied with your purchase (Samsung Galaxy S2), you will need to return the item to Infibeam, and you only get in-store credit! You use that for any future purchase.

Hope this clears things up. - Cheers! :)
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
Please note that dead pixels, stuck pixels, blue tint screen are not problems caused due to delivery mistakes or by courier companys mishaps.

These are manufacturing defects and only Samsung is responsible for this.

You should ask them what are their policies incase of any manufacturing defect?
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
Elaboration...

You may find it hard to believe, but in the United States "dead pixels" are a common thing to buyers when they need to return the item back to the store for a return or exchange. It can be factors of both, manufacturing and mishandling during delivery. As per my conversation with Infibeam today, dead pixels and "and inconsistent display" will be catered by Infibeam in respect to Exchanges.

As per "other" kinds of manufacturing defects (like Software / Phone resetting itself, etc; you would need to take these up directly with Samsung itself.

FYI: Stuck pixels are normal in every display; they go away after some time, not really a manufacturing defect. And as per blue-tint, that is completely normal with AMOLED displays.
[Galaxy S II General] Tanmay®:
Dead/Stuck pixels are a manufacturing defect.

Accidents or mishaps during transit can't cause a single dead pixel! Thats just too obviously illogical!

FYI Stuck pixels might get fixed if lucky, but dead pixels are pretty much dead.

And most companies have a well written dead pixel policy. Some consider 1 (-3) dead pixel as normal and won't issue a replacement.

As to what Samsungs official policy is on dead pixels is not clearly known yet. But most shops offer a quick replacement.

What I'm more concerned about is the process of getting the replacement. Do we have to go directly to a Samsung service center or send the device back to Infibeam and get a replacement from them?
