[Galaxy S II General] always4vikram:

[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
Search the XDA forums for an update on the pink spot issue... i think someone just fixed that thru an update...

the wcdma is the umts... i am not sure what it is in the indian mobiles but if u change it to wcdma then its almost same as the umts... check wikipedia for more info... i dont think it shuld be of any problem... :cool::cool::cool::cool:

[Galaxy S II General] Shylesh:
Letsbuy!!!!!!!! Thats love :)

For only XDA members ??

Then hats-off. First of all lets have an discussion :

@members :

1) Arjun and Dhuruv had spent sleepless nights so no deal should be concluded without them!

2)How many of you do care about accessories?

@letsbuy :

Let me talk behalf of the most who are absent.just answer me with few questions :)

1)When will our orders in case of this deal will be shipped? (This batch probably , we'd love that from you)

2)Arjun and Dhruv have said to had contacted you, is that true and if it is why was the deal not made then and there?

3)Will we be use any other coupon codes with this offer?

4) Shall we given any priority in other accessories in future (never mind just a over-joy question :P)
[Galaxy S II General] ashok:
We are interested. But when the item will be shipped and will you guys provided COD for shipment to Trivandrum
[Galaxy S II General] vinaymonu25:
to letsbuy

that price is inclusive of all costs like vat,shipping charges,courier,etc if any ?if yes then Can u pm me a code so that i can pre order right now ?
[Galaxy S II General] shaik786:
Yes, purchased it from Himayat nagar Samsung shop on friday (Looks like I am the first one to get this in hyderabad but for very big price..over excitement..lol )...I suggest you to go to Vodafone store near hitech city..you will get 1gb free for 6 months and accessories for just 32K change...
[Galaxy S II General] far1983:
Send a PM or DM to dhruvmalik; arjun90; they will add u to the list...
[Galaxy S II General] Shylesh:
@letsbuy

May be there will not be a group of 100 members formed around.. will the case get us all to sink the deal???
[Galaxy S II General] cyberwarfare:
@ lets buy

when is the offer valid till??

i wont be able to buy till end of this month so can i like prebook at that price??

also is the the final cost to customer as in are all taxes and shipping paid for??
[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
Private message to arjun / dhruv with details.. Name, Location, State, and Confirmation.. :D
[Galaxy S II General] ankydu:
thanks sandsm for confirming that. I am also from gurgaon, is there a demo piece available at gizmos. also can we go in for group buy if you have not already bought we can gather more people from gurgaon.
[Galaxy S II General] androidsos:
@letsbuy, I have a query if you can please answer. I had pre-ordered the phone before 26th May, my shipment is made by Aramex as per your mail. I want to know, why not use a better, reliable courier, as Aramex seeming does not have a good track-record in India. Very nervous about this.

It would have been good if you could have provided with an option for the courier.

Anyway, overall I am very satisfied, when I get all the accessories promised after 14th June and if there are no problems with the handset-delivery, I would have to conclude, you have provided a good deal.
[Galaxy S II General] letsbuy:
This offer is only for Xda-Forum members,and the price quoted is the price you have to pay (Incl. of all taxes ),The shipment will be done by 9th-Jun-2011.
[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
@ Shylesh: lets discuss this with arjun and dhruv... seems like a good offer... its a good price without accessories... lets have a talk with them first... what u say??? I dont care abt the accessories if the price is that low... till now infibeam assured this phone + free gifts (screen protecter(200 INR) and 250 INR Gift coupon) @ 29399... Total cost of free gifts is 450 Max... There is a lot difference in price now (we can save around 1000+ bucks)... Let our boys come online and discuss it with them...
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Ya seems like a good offer from Letsbuy, Interested in it , i dont care for accessories.
[Galaxy S II General] Shylesh:
Sorry, But seems suspicious as letsbuy customer care is off on weekends and some one takes care and posts in a forum :D

A little doubt about the legitimization of the user letsbuy!

Please confirm your identity by one means or other :)
[Galaxy S II General] vinaymonu25:
why dont you pm or dm us the code

@letsbuy it wud b gud if u directly pm us the code whoever is asking u to so interested person wil pre order it instead of waiting 4al..waiting 4all the members to discuss and decide then confirmations,etc wil tak a whole lot of time.im sure atleast 30-40members on this forum wil utilise ur offer & few need 2handsets each so 40handsets wil be booked as soon as u agree to send d code individually ? Wt say ?
[Galaxy S II General] Shylesh:
Ha ha I'm sure letsbuy won't do it because they need a group deal.. planning at-least for 100 members they should have a minimum goal of atleat 70 in mind.. if thats not reached say the deal is not too much of profit for them to go by :)
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Ya agree, Send Promo codes to interested members.
[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
Good point BRO... In an earlier post they mentioned their contact details as

eTree Marketing Pvt Ltd,

75/76, 3rd Floor,

Adchini, New Delhi-110017

011 40808888

Let arjun and dhruv have a chat with letsbuy.. :D They have direct contact with letsbuy..:)
[Galaxy S II General] letsbuy:
Our Customer Care was available today from 10:00AM to 6:00PM,Now we are also available on weekends.Please keep yourself update to date.
[Galaxy S II General] vinaymonu25:
a trap to stop infibeam deal ?

im feeling like this letsbuy is trying to put off d infibeam deal.. Someone is trying to be oversmart here..not at al gud 4us.
[Galaxy S II General] androidsos:
I have already pre-ordered with letsbuy so won't be buying now, but I don't see the problem here you are facing.

Let Arjun or Dhruv call up letsbuy. They can then confirm the offer.

For the list, either one of the members can make the list, ala dhruv did or

letsbuy can send the promo offers saying that the offers trigger only when say 40-50 deals are made.

All can be done in one day. Anyhow, the flipkart offer has also reduced, so will they be willing to go lower. Also, letsbuy say they have asked for confirmation about nfc from Samsung India about how to check if it is there. This needs to be confirmed as well.
[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
I agree with u... Its not at all gud without discussing this with arjun and dhruv... We have still enough time... Let them talk with Letsbuy... :D:)

BTW its a good offer from letsbuy(if the user is genuine)... 27900 INR without free gifts is a good price... I dont care abt the free gifts...
[Galaxy S II General] kk4htc:
I pre booked on 25th May, I should expect shipment from Letsbuy on 6th.

I should get on 7th.

For NFC issue, I think its a harware thing, so it should make some change in physical aspect too.

NFC will come in 1 year or so generally. So immediate its not of much use.

Its my view and others may differ. But simply, the phone has all features amazingly in one small pac.

My one query to all owners is that, whether,

it is pocketable and easy to operate with its dimensions. I made a card board proto type, try to feel. With case if it is easy to use
[Galaxy S II General] ashok:
Yes the question regarding NFC has to be answered first.
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
I am too ready to buy at that price Letsbuy quoted . I think someone shld take initiative before its get too late.
[Galaxy S II General] Shylesh:
Trying to contact Arjun via facebook :( failed ..... fingers crossed
[Galaxy S II General] androidsos:
Don't worry there is plenty of time. I think the offered price of 27999 is where the price of the phone will stabilize in a short span, so don't hurry. Just confirm the veracity and whether the offer is genuine first.
[Galaxy S II General] sumeshd:
Finally got my beast today morning..

loving it like hell..

no problem..no dead pixels no yellow tint..
[Galaxy S II General] androidsos:
Congrats!! Just want to confirm, where did you buy it from - letsbuy?
[Galaxy S II General] Shylesh:
I'd just like to initialize the negotiations as arjun/dhruv is outta reach....

What do you guys say?
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Yess initiate. I already said someone has to initiate. Let u do:)
[Galaxy S II General] anksoft:
At 28K, Letsbuy deal is certainly better than Infibeam. Now only if they provide COD to Bangalore.
[Galaxy S II General] mrigeshgaurav:
Guys, no harm in getting more details, however I have my serious doubts about the validity of the letsbuy deal. this is 4800 cheaper than thr pre-order price. Too good to be true. I believe Dhruv/Arjun were in talks with these guys earlier but they were not willing to budge on the price at all. Wondering what made them change their mind so drastically.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
That's so great that you have got it, but what's the problem by stating the Price and Dealer !

@Samsung- We are paying almost 30k for a Phone, and this hide and seek stuff about NFC just kidding me. We need one straight answer, Is NFC available on Indian GS II versions? I don't give a damn about Lestbuy, Infibeam or any online stores, I mean all the Stores in India, a simple answer is needed, Yes or No. Having NFC only on Letsbuy devices and not sure about others, isn't it a joke for a baby?

@Letsbuy- You SHOULD create a New thread and confirm your authenticity first and then you go on about your offers and blah blah...
[Galaxy S II General] ananth.mg:
Since there is 2 more days time for letsbuy, would have been better if arjun90 and dhruv does it.

Since letsbuy didnt offer competitive deal before and infibeam has gone ahead step further providing device to dhruv etc, I believe they can do one final round of negotiations with both infibeam and letsbuy and close this out.

If somebody else does it, pls list all questions that have been asked in this thread earlier [return policy, COD etc] and check what letsbuy has to offer
[Galaxy S II General] Shylesh:
K...I'm not going to do anything off the thread as of now!

Let arjun and dhruv carry on :)

While in the mean time,

Letsbuy shall answer the questions of us here :D

COD,return policy,post sales support , other coupon code usage on pourchase etc.,
[Galaxy S II General] ashok:
I think first of all they should answer question regarding NFC
[Galaxy S II General] ashok:
Here guys unboxing of Galaxy S2 Indian version video

Another unboxing of Indian Version SGS2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=busL74ZzyGo
[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
They already did in a previous post that NFC chip is onboard for Indian version and it can be enabled via a update or so..

If NFC is builtin everyone gets it otherwise no one will get it.. Its not gonna bother then.. :D
[Galaxy S II General] abhi39:
I am sure its not the real letsbuy posting here. :) I ordered from their site and it turned out to be a huge mistake.. :) Least number of accessories (They are just giving me a screen protector and HDMI adapter)... Highest cost.... And the worst part, I am trying to reach them from 5 days without luck on phone and 2 emails without reply. Pathetic customer support.. :( This was my first time with letsbuy and if i don't get my device before 7th, I will make sure its my last.

Good news is, when i ordered on friday, they said delivery will be 3-5 days. The status doesn't even say shipped yet. So i doubt if i'll get it before wednesday. If i don't, I will return it when it comes and dispute the charges with Credit card to make sure they dont get a single paise including pre-order money. :)
[Galaxy S II General] tarun.nair:
SGS2 available in Bangalore

All Bangalore users who wanted to know. The SGS2 is available at the Spice Hotspot in Frazer Town for Rs 30500 (i know, not an attractive price).

At the store I noticed that the front of the box has SUPER AMOLED spelled as "SUPER AMOL

D

ED Plus". Is this normal? I mean this is a flagship device and can it have such a error on the packaging? Have anyone of you noticed this? I am not saying that this is a deal breaker but just thought this is fishy. Any thoughts?:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Watch out the video i posted above in that also its AMOLDED written.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=busL74ZzyGo
[Galaxy S II General] kunalparwani:
Hey! How to join this deal?
[Galaxy S II General] kannanX10:
check out this video in FS mode,it states as amolded.........so dont worry abt that

Adding name to infibeam list?

My first post here and hopefully SGS 2 will be my first Android phone :)

Been going through this long thread. Not able to conclude, is the group deal happening? From Infibeam? if yes, how do i add my name to the list.

Am from Bangalore. TIA
[Galaxy S II General] eRajesh:
The Indian version of SGS2 does not have NFC. If it would have been present, there would have been a small chip at the backplate of the phone like in the Nexus S.

Ice Cream Sandwich activating NFC on SGS2 is a complete BS statement.
[Galaxy S II General] speedyavi:
Has anyone sent a PM to Arjun and Dhruv regarding the offer from letsbuy? I sincerely doubt if it is sincere
[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
Please send a private message to arjun (arjun90) and dhruv (dhruvmalik) including ur Full Name, Location, State and Confirmation.. they will add u in the list.. :D
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Arjun is online plzz send him PM abt Letsbuy deal.
[Galaxy S II General] anksoft:
COD?

Whoever takes up the task of coordinating with Letsbuy, lets make sure they have good coverage of COD.

Letsbuy has done a good job of engaging with customers here in XDA. Seems to have tried answer questions here to the best of their ability, and are offering good deal without the unwanted accessories (based on feedback they got from us, myself included).

My only concern is the COD coverage may not be as good as Infybeam. I couldn't find details on their website. I for one will only be interested if they have COD option in Bangalore.
[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
Im also waiting for them to come online :( :(
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Arjun is Online.
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
He seems to b offline as i post now.
[Galaxy S II General] harish_hpd:
He is offline now. Lets wait :) We have enough time to come to a decision:)
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Yap we have still two more days :)
[Galaxy S II General] angynagpal:
Hi All,

The phone is available in Delhi in almost all Spice Mobile shops. Its cost is around 30k. Go buy :)!!!!

I had a couple of questions (am asking again in this thread as i think more people read this thread so more chances of gettin a reply):

1) Is navigation not available in India? I get a message in navigation app that 'Function is not available in this location'. What app should i use for free voice navigation in india????

2) Has the 'Smile Detection' been removed from the camera settings?? Am not able to find it!!!
[Galaxy S II General] parassaxena3:

4 months wait is over

today i bought galaxy S2 for rs 30300 from laxmi nagar spice hotspot

thanks ronak for your help
[Galaxy S II General] Ghostbustersin:
There is no NFC in the Version. I can confirm it on my part. May be Letsbuy have a special Indian Version that has NFC. Don't miss the sarcasm in the last statement. And activating it through a software update is another special feature on Letsbuy SGS2.

BTW, look at this video letsbuy and let us know why we don't have this NFC toggle in the settings when Korean version with Gingerbread have it?

www.youtube.com/watch?v=GayyhN85BcY

P.S.

Got my SGS2 from Hotspot @29500 with Screen Protector + Vodafone 3G Offer :D ( New Delhi )
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Congrats:) PLease PM me the shop details.:) I am from NCR too.
[Galaxy S II General] cyberwarfare:
where did u get it for 29.5 with the 3g plan

im from bombay and i would like to get it too so if possible could u pass me the number of the shop so that i could have a word with him please :)

thanks :)
[Galaxy S II General] mnm82:
no offence to anyone.....but after reading the previous posts, it seems that everyone here is crazy about NFC...... :D

this looks like a great device with or without NFC..... and i think that most of us are not going to use it for coming year or two (at least)...... so leave this behind guys, everyone in india is going to get the same hardware i think.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] a_v_i:
Can anyone tell me about the volume of the device ..?is it very low?????
[Galaxy S II General] angynagpal:
I think the volume is pretty good!!! Only thing is (cant say whether its good or bad) that the speaker placement is such that you can totally mute the sound if the speaker is covered even with a thin plastic screen guard :)!!
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Hey plzz tell us which all things u like most abt it.:)
[Galaxy S II General] ronak_1078:
you're welcome buddy :)
[Galaxy S II General] a_v_i:
why "amolded" is printed on the outer cover of Indian box...?Anyone have any ideas?????????????
[Galaxy S II General] techpal:
Must b TYPO. As i am aware there is nothing like AMOLDED.
[Galaxy S II General] techguru_delhi:
@Letsbuy. The Samsung India website which links to the Letsbuy preorder page lists the Vodafone 3g data offer as one of the deals. Could Letsbuy or one of the members who have received the Letsbuy orders confirm if they have received the Vodafone offer as part of the package? Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] arjun90:
***WARNING***

Nobody should fall for the Letsbuy.com "so-called" group purchase deal. When I had talks with Letsbuy.com the other day, we got no where close to the price range that was given today by the "letsbuy" XDA user. No online retailer was willing to go to that extent!

One needs to understand that anyone other than a letsbuy employee could be writing those posts. A lot of points stated by letsbuy, aside from Group Purchases, needs to be re-examined (Letsbuy does not equate to Samsung).

We need to confirm the authenticity of that user, verify his/her identify, and get to the bottom of this. Many dealers and other online retailers are losing business when they see Infibeam rise to the top as a result of a significant group purchase (from the users of XDA). Who knows...those dealers and other online retailers could be writing here as well, to spread panic and create a useless mess, and ultimately attempt to discourage many in respect to the Infibeam deal.

I find it silly for the letsbuy user to confirm NFC (Optional) [Note the Parenthesis]

- NFC (Optional) is confirmed on the Spec Sheet provided by Samsung India, (remember, it is option and goes by region as a whole only, not by individual retailers), not on the actual Retail Box. To get to the point, there is nothing confirmed about NFC on the Samsung Galaxy S2 in India, for now (Remember; Samsung India can't make any hardware changes overnight. The import date for the current Indian model is May-2011).

Internet trolling is something very sensitive to any forum community.

Unfortunately, there are many immature guests overlooking this forum; they decide to make a new account and post Random sh!t

If I want, I can make another XDA account, under the alias, Letsbuyone, and place a Letsbuy.com logo as my avatar. Will you immediately believe and conclude that I work for Letsbuy.com?

There are many steps one needs to take before jumping the gun and concluding that that user works for Letsbuy. If that user does work for Letsbuy, then he/she should unveil his/her identify in a legal manner. Enough with this nuisance.

Reminder from me and Dhruv, You are free to go about your own desires; make your own judgement. Thank you. Patience is a virtue. ;)

Dhruv and I will keep you updated in regards to Infibeam's coupon code later today! :)
[Galaxy S II General] a_v_i:
