Quad-band 3G confirmed by Clove (this is from their blog post today)!
Samsung Galaxy S II UK Specs Confirmed: Exynos Chip & Quad-Band 3G!
Thursday, April 14, 2011
This has been a hot topic of conversation over the last month or so but finally we have confirmation of the Samsung Galaxy S II specs that remained to be clarified.
Having spoken to the UK Product Manager for the Samsung Galaxy S II, we can confirm that UK stock will ship with the following:
1. Samsung Dual Core Exynos CPU (not NVidia Tegra 2)
2. 3G frequencies are 850/900/1900/2100 (Quad band)
3. Display is Super AMOLED Plus
4. Box contents: Handset, battery, charger, USB cable, headset, Quick start guide.
If you have an outstanding pre-order with Clove for the SGS2, you will be receiving an email regarding this confirmation of spec within the next day or so and you will be given the chance to cancel the order if this is not the specification that you were hoping for. However, we hope that for the majority of you this will be good news and we look forward to shipping your order as soon as possible.
No memory card with it then?
well with internal memory of 16GB, do you really need to be that greedy?

In Norway both the Arc and the Optimus 2x comes with HDMI cable. The Arc even comes with a 16gb SD card.
That said, I don't care much whether or not these things comes with the Galaxy S II. If you can buy such an expensive phone, you should be able to afford some minor accessories.

It to be expected that they wont give a HDMI adapter or a MHL Cable. Samsung's alternate solution is to use their certified accessories such as the ones mentioned above.
Even if we can afford it, the problem is that no one have this cables in stock, and some others want a reasonable price, not 28pounds for a cable that the real value is 1$ and we will see months later on dealextreme, but not at the launch date.
Great to hear. Now all we need is confirmation that the bootloader can be unlocked.
No, I think this cable / adapter will be available in the UK region soon after the release of the device. Its the regions like Singapore, South Korea and India that will have to wait as no one will be wanting to spend 30-50$ on a cable to hook up to a TV...
Yes, its a great feature to have but the demand of it will be less, especially in India, hence the retailers will not care to order it right away.
Thank you OP. That certainly did make my day I already have preordered with them and this was exactly the specs I was hoping for. Now we only need to wait and see whether the bootloader is actually open.

No if you buy an expensive phone you expect a decent set of accessories with it including a memory card.

Now that I have sold my HTC Universal for $600USD, I wait to buy the HTC Athena. HTC Athena will be marketed in early-mid march. It is known as the T-Mobile Ameo or the Dopod U1000. Price will range from $650USD to $1000USD? If I am correct I think its competitors (well personally I think that Athena is no way comparable to this garbage f***ed ) are going to be Apple iPhone and O2 XDA Flame. You can take iPhone off your list. It is very low on performance wise. Same goes for O2 XDA Flame. Although both Flame and iPhone will be very popular, dont fall for it! They are smaller and sleeker too! iPhone = $500 and Flame probably $700?
Anyways when Athena hits market anywhere in Asia, Europe or the Americas please post links here that all of us can use to make purchases.

Not really i think the price i offer is pretty descent for a pocket pc only. I dont want any addons. Just a plain vanilla. Since with all addons it costs 600 pounds then maybe 400 pounds without addons? or maybe i have to wait longer?
When you say *all the add-ons* I hardly think the gift pack is adding much to it.
Box Contents:
- Dopod U1000 Pocket PC
- Battery
- USB Sync. Cable
- VGA out adaptor cable
- Stereo wired headset with microphone
- Carrying Case
- User manual, quick start guide & software CD
Gift Pack:
- Bluetooth Headset
- Screen Protector
- GPS Software with Hong Kong & China map

Please be aware of all these cheap HTC Advantage, they are all FAKE!!!!!
It's not out yet the Advantage until beginning of april. I have official confirmation on this. If you look at that seller, he is also selling the Apple iPhone 8G ! Do you believe it or not, your decision.
Yea its not out. maybe thats a pre-order or its just another fraud.. but still i like that offer. Maybe something like that will come later on. I like the black athena and i will only go for that. i had a silver universal earlier and didnt like it much.

It sure looks like it is in stock. Why not call them up?
So now we know why you sold your X7500.
...
Ha! Ha! No still not sure if I'll buy one yet, that wasnt why I sold. I'm a bit addicted to smartphones and UMPCs, i'ts not unusual (although some would argue it is stupid!) for me to buy a phone and then sell a few days later. Over the past 12 months I've had:
T-mob Vario, T-mob Ameo, TynTnII, P3300, Trinity, Blacberry 8310 (still got), S730, (another) Advantage - the one I sold again, a Shift, 3 different eeepcs (black 701 Linux, white 900 Linux, White 900 XP)....mmmm I think thats it but might be more. Now considering either the X7510 or the Diamond....anyone??
The Handtec call centre is only open un til 5:30pm, hence I havent called yet - I have a feeling I might in the morning....although if this post gets read I won't be the only one!
If this is true, then I guess On The Go Solution's stock might really be coming tomorrow here in the US. I sure hope to see more hands on reviews.
I dont understand why any athena owners are excited by this phone, it is a downgrade IMHO from the X7500, I use my navi button all the time.

not to mention the solid state 16 GB memory. To us here in the US, the price difference is only $100, so even with the buttons on the X7500, it does not justify the price. Their milking it too much.
others might say...mini SD or micro SD cards are now cheap... YES that is true, but you loose the ability to hot swap your cards, especially if the hard drive starts acting wierd and you have no other option but to use the card as your storage for applications. YES, you can use the 4 in one cable to attach peripherals, but of course, I wouldn't be carrying that thing in my belt pocket.
To me, the added peace of mind not worrying about the hard drive going nuts is a worthy cause to go for the X7510, especially for 1st time buyers.
...
GoSolutions.com wants $1299 for 7510
If GoSolutions.com is USA, then the $1299 price they are asking is $500 more than the X7501 and NO JOG STICK or BUTTONS. It is a ridiculous price. I have about half of my 2GB SD card free and about 6GB of the MicroDrive to go.

Was this an official outlet? Sounds more likely he's got his hands on prototypes or review models...
I'd stay away from a device without Samsung Branding, as when have you known Samsung not to stick their logo on the phone?
hmm...
If I am not mistaken, the Korean models have no Samsung logo on the front.

Samsung not having a Bright White logo on GS II is strange!! I can not agree more but I made the guy call his boss and ask!! and I made sure that what I saw was retail version with 1.2GHZ CPU.
Now I have more ....
As you know, from one certain date Samsung replaced pictures with ones with logo. from then almost every online store and mobile reviewer changed their pictures too. Recently I realized Telenor and Tele2 (bigest phone companies in sweden) changed back pictures to ones without Samsung logo.
You can chek it yourself.( As I am sure you know! web sites are .se rather than .com or ...)

Nexus S. It has the Samsung in the back cover.
But I don't believe it would come to sweden without Samsung text in front, when it does in Finland.
I have my doubts about this information. I don't doubt the veracity of what you're saying, but of the information you were given.
First, I wouldn't put it past the regional marketing branch of Samsung to hand out some of the former prototype devices to retailers to look at and Media Markt may have mistook it for a display model. Second, the very fact that Samsung doesn't include an MHI adapter cable is strange, especially when they're rare to come by and other manufacturers like Nokia have set the standard (my N8 came with an HDMI cable, USB-to-Go cable, you name it), so I think the local MM manager is just going on logic without really checking things up.
Yesterday I was in an ElGiganten in Stockholm and the whole front of the store was decked out in huge display boards. They expected to be ready for release on May 6, and kind of miffed about having to wait until May 12. Won't they look rediculous when they realize all their expensive marketing material doesn't even look like the device to be sold - with a Samsung logo on it.
I would be very surprised if the hardware versions delivered to the various EU countries have any significant differences (and I prefer the Samsung lable on the front). But then again, stranger things have happened.
The samsung brand is on the back... Strangely like the iPhone?!
And its not just Sweden. If you visit the Samsung page (swedish, finnish, whatever), only the front page and top images have it - the rest in the actual specification/advertisment of the phone doesnt have it. Three UK shows it without the name. Etc and so on.
You're right about the local Samsung page, it's a mixed bag.
The retailer pictures vary, but the OP is right in saying that a surprising number of retailers now or still have the photos without the logo on the front.
If this is true, it makes me worry that there might be other less benign differences from the units that we've seen from the UK, like cheaper camera sensors or the like.
Let's hope that there is no hardware difference in EU. I really hate it when they do that.
The worst case scenario is Samsung having many first production devices that we know as test devices mostly with 1 GHZ CPU and then they realized that they want to go with 1.2 GHZ and the Samsung LOGO and rest is not so hard to guess since CPU speed is just the matter of over clocking old devices and ..... OH just find a cold place in north to get rid of them ))))
I really hope that I am wrong ..... we will know in less than 5 days.
Danish version...
.... seems to be just like the Swedish version - or rather the version i bought.
No logo on front - also no NFC, and only 16 Gb version without memorycard in the box. BUT... also no HDMI-converter. This version actually comes from warehouses in Sweden, where Telia stores it.
But the specs on the phone shows 1,2 Ghz dual-core, and the rest of the specs fully complies with the specs from Samsung on this phone.

This is because usually carriers force their logos on the front. This was partially the reason why iPhone arrived so late in Korea. Apple wouldn't let anyone touch'em.

The Nordic countries always share the same version (at least in my experience of Samsung).
Has it already been released in Denmark???
Could you use Android System Info and see if it looks the same as Swedroid's UK device shown in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt7mdInSWqk&feature=relmfu
At 3:26 it shows some CPU info (although not entirely accurate, it does show the use of the CPU going up to 1.2 GHz).
I Saw CONVERTER WITH MY EYES!!!
People ! I saw the converter that comes with GSII in box in Sweden @ least from Media Market it is a Charger/HDMI converter you use it to charge cell phone or plug HDMI cable. You can see it in the post here for Infuse4G "http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Infuse-4G-HDMI-out-Adapter-Demonstration_id18667"
So now you can charge and use HDMI @ same time.

Hey mates,
You all knows there are countries like India where nexus 7 has been overpriced like doubled than US price of N7 ,
So my question to you, what you decided to do now ? As i was wating for this tab from some months but now due to such overpricei am unable to understand what should i do .
I know i can ask anyone to ship from other country but I have no any relatives from other countries to ship from US or any other countries,
& If i ask to any international shipper then also it goes high price with customs duty & taxes.
My last dcsn will be to buy samsung tab 2 as i cant wait more time,
So tell me guys whats your plans to buy Nexus 7 32 GB + 3G model !!!!
It was completely expected wasn't it ? Anyhow my last hope is ebay !

It was always Expected that Nexus 7 would launch in that Range..Those who though otherwise probably dont know that the price in Other parts of the world doesn't matter...it will always be Expensive In India...and Tab2 doesn't even come close to the Nexus...That is what i would call a waste of money.
Is there any chances to get from other country like US ? Any way ? & is there any better option than N7?

Even with Express Shipping, Insurance, and Customs Duty you can pick up a 32 GB N 7 at less price than the MRP (before taxes) here. Bought a 32G N7 for a total cost of Rs 18669.25

I ordered from this Guy:-
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Asus-Google-...s_Tablets&hash=item2a25ca27ac#ht_46.99wt_1139
He shipped and delivered quite fast
Buddy i know galaxy tab 2 lacks quad core processor and i know that it will not get nexus like firmware update .but believe me its a great device.i own it.and it play hd games great.
And it is getting jelly bean soon.
So if you want to buy it go for it you will not regret.
Also your choice may depends on your needs.
Like if you want multimedia device get tab 2,want os updates as soon as released and extreme gaming choose nexus(tab 2 performs good in gaming but obviously nexus dominates due to quad core).

It looks nice deal, Bookmarked it for future referance coz tommarow 3G model going to launch,so waiting for it, BTW can you please tell me What will be the use if i buy 3G model since i heard its only data no voice calling & sms, so whats the use ? because we can use wifi model net with OGT cable with support of dongle !!! I dont understand the logic of 3G & wifi model & what about imported model as i have heard that some apps not works if we buy from another country.

Yes Bro i even strongly agree for what you saying but some people saying there hardware is crappy it will be tough for HD stuff,I am just confuse whether it will get any newer future updates or not I heard its normally gets very late & this device going old day by day but seriosly awesome piece by samsung , I am getting Tab 2 with 18K new but just waiting for Nexus 3G model ,What i planned like buy 3g or wifi model of Nexus 7 ,if no voice calls then buy wifi model & use OGT cable for HDMI ,Dongle for internet & for storage capacity which same samsung tab 2 can do..your more experiance will be welcome,might be i am wrong in some aspect.

Hello guys. I was using DZ for a long time (jul 2011 - dec 2012) and got it replaced by a "standard" phone without keyboard - Xperia Ion. After almost a year of suffering without hardware keyboard I recently imported Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G (SGH-T699) from USA.
My experience:
1) you can import Galaxy S Relay 4G to Europe without no problem, it runs on GSM/HSDPA networks and has a SIM card slot (Important!)
2) I bought it via ebay.com, in used state but with real pictures of the device and in perfect state. The costs were $125 for the phone + $39 international priority shipping + cca $35 import charges (customs and VAT - 20% in Slovakia).
3) The import charges were charged with the payment and I didn't even know about the customs process, the courier just brought me the phone. That's a plus for ebay when importing from outside EU.
4) The phone was unfortunately locked (even if the seller stated it as unlocked). But after downgrade to ICS it can be unlocked in few minutes.
5) The US charger is no use in Europe, but you can charge it with any other charger, I'm using 1500mA charger from Sony now or 1000mA from HTC. Or you can even use the original charger with travel adapter, but it's uncomfortable, your choice however.
6) The stock firmware is bloated, half of the apps installed are called "T-mobile something" If you like Samsung android environment, you can debloat it manually after rooting, but I suppose most of xda guys will flash CM11 - it's now pretty stable even in experimental state. Honestly, I've been using much more unstable roms as dd...
7) The stock rom has only few languages (en, de, es, fr), but custom roms have full list of languages.
I was considering also Moto Photon Q, but it lacks sim card slot. It can be done, there's a step by step guide on xda to solder a sim card slot. Even the guy from Prague (author of the guide) could do it personally. But I chose the easier way and got the Samsung S Relay. There are no other GSM qwerty android phones usable in Europe.
To moderators: I saw a similar thread that was closed as not related to Desire Z. I must disagree, a DZ successor is a DZ related thread, as the device is pretty old and most of owners are looking for a decent successor. Just wanted to share my personal experience. If you wish, you can move this post to the closed thread, I wouldn't mind But please, don't delete it, in my opinion it contains useful information that definitely has to be found in DZ section. thanks
I also imported one. 180 $ + import tax (new one).
The default rom is pretty decent compared to htc sense, cm10 is much faster than on the desire Z (multitask 10-15 apps: no problem).
The keyboard isn't that good as the one from the desire Z, but you have to get used to it. I have 22Mb as max speed at home (10Mb desire Z) on 3G+.
Looks good and price is good. Was this the only keyboarded Android you looked at or are there other comparable?

I was considering Motorola Photon Q (without SIM card slot, count plus 50 euro and 2x postage to CZ). This model is the only one suitable with SIM card and support for European networks.
In the meantime LG F3Q was announced. Look at the specs http://www.phonearena.com/phones/LG-Optimus-F3Q_id8243
Maybe it's also worth considering, but I don't like it very much at first look, but it has 2460mAh battery. I'm not sure about the SIM card slot, but as it's on TM USA, it should have defnitely one.

I went to a T-Mobile store and look at the actual phone today.
It looks better in hands than on the photo.

To order one from Canada to Europe: http://www.canadagsm.ca/products-LG-Optimus-F3Q-Penta-Band-LTE. 2G and 3G should work; 4G not.

I went to T-Mobile store the other day and I don't think they have that version, at least not for the US market.

I only saw pictures... so you could be right
I am still dreaming of a flagship android with hardware keyboard... the LG looks fine, but 1Gb of ram in 2014 is too little. The biggest limitation of the DZ is by far its ~360Mb of ram...
for me,i have imported Huawei U8730,better CPU/GPU,better RAM and bigger screen than HTC DZ
