I have one thing in mind...
I m a galaxy s III I9300 owner...n i m thinking of moving on to note 2..
could sumone tell me if it would be right option to move to note 2 n ill it be bit future proof coz as soon as i purchased SIII 2gb of mobile ram was out...
beside tht is it the right time to order Note 2 coz I purchased galaxy SIII as soon as it was launched for 42500/- it went down to 37500/- within a month....

Look mate. Every gadget ever produced will get beaten by something better. So there is nothing future proof. S3 was in a lot of demand just like the note2 is now so sellers were making a lot of premium. Once the demand settled it got to its actual price. I expect the same to happen with note 2. I think if u will buy it on the day it becomes available you will be paying atleast 3000 more than the price after 30 days of launch. But then i guess thats the price of being some of the 1st people to have it.
So if you want the best device atm, buy the note2. If you want something good the future, i am afraid yoh will just keep waiting.
Hope that helps.
Cheers!!!

i was a s3 owner ..sold it 2 days back now waiting for note 2
galaxy s3 is still future proof..there is no app/game out yet that will work on note 2 and not on galaxy s3 because of more ram or faster processor
prices will go down if you wait more...s3 16gb is available for 33-34K now..
so the decision to go for it now..is again up to you..can you wait couple of months to get the fastest mobile on the planet just for a few thousand rs. less ..i know i cant

As the price has fallen down to 33000/- I have a 4 months used SGSIII n its getting sold out for 28000/-
I went to a Samsung store y'day in Kothrud, Pune for having a look at SGN2.
He did not have and said it'll come in an hr.
Price of S3 has droppoed to 32,400 n he said SGN2 will be smwhr betn 35-40k...
He also added, i'll have to book SGN2 and deliveries will start from 5th Oct.
M waiting for exact price and will then buy...
Flipkart is too still showing it as a "pre-order". My guess is that they would be one of the first to get units.....Damm, the wait is killing....
If I call my neighborhood retailer again, he will probably think I am really desperate and hike up his price to me....
I had played around with a white GN2 yesterday and it's awesome. No multi-windows support but that Samsung has clarified would be available as an update soon.
In Delhi deliveries are going to start by today late evening according to the same dealer with most dealers getting stocks today. The best price quoted to me was 39,000 without the bluetooth headset, which I really don't care about. However, the dealer wants an advance in the morning today for delivery in evening. He also has no clue whether he will get both the colors or just white initially.
Though I was very excited about the device, I have decided to wait till the end of this month before I get the device for a few reasons.
1. Expected price drop. There a good rumors that this phone would be priced lower soon, around 37,500, which is the price a few readers on this forum got as well. A site called uniquekart.com already quotes this price.
2. eBay Diwali Offer. There is no hint of eBay diwali offer yet but if I am buying this expensive phone, I can wait a bit. Most likely eBay will give a free 1TB hard disk as a free gift, but hey that's great.
3. EMI. Dealer currently was offering only 6 interest free EMIs, though the VP clearly mentioned 9 months.
4. Other Diwali offers. Samsung is expected to launch diwali offers.
5. Lack of accessories. Buying now means you will not be able to get any accessories including basics like scratchguards.

I am tempted. Very tempted to buy. It's also likely that if I visit the dealer again and he has stock I would probably too. But, I have done this in the past and I am just going to use my head a bit better this time.
I am not waiting till Diwali. Just till the offers start around 15th of this month maybe 20th. Pre-orders are anyways shipping after 8th. So, two weeks perhaps. A free 1TB HD worth 5k is not a bad deal. Even now, you could pre-order on ebay with a free Asha phone worth 4K, which you could gift to someone if you want.

Hey everyone I have been monitoring the price of the Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 daily from late November 2011 and its amazing that this phone has climbed from basically $499.99 to now over $600 on ebay and $559 and $569.
I think the increase in price which is due to its overwhelming demand is a testament to how great the product is but sadly it really prevents me from going in on the experience because I cant afford it right now.
The price trends do leave me wondering how much further the price can go though.
Any thoughts?
Meh nothing compared to ehat happened to the Leo (my fave phone i ever had). Prices in the states are different and ebay isnt a good price guide, I see this for £600 when released now you can get it from carphone whorehouse for about £400 on pre pay

Ok I see your point im not in the US actually but I mostly buy electronics from the US. Can you point me to site or person that sells the i9100 for a good price outside the USA?
As I said id love to join the android party with a i9100 asap but the price is prohibitive for me. I have been using a N95 8gb for 4 years now so im in need of a change.

Hasn't the Thailand floods last year have something to do with this? One of the largest manufacturers of semiconductors used in mobile devices is located there (I think it's Hana Electronics). And I've seen the same trend in other electronic markets. I've been trying to purchase a Canon 60D slr and stores are having a hard time getting them.
The Thailand floods could have something to do with it but im seeing declines in other similar models.
The prices for most of android devices climbed up a bit after release of latest iphone, I see that that release was mostly disappointment for everyone, there's nothing in it that can beat sgs2 or some other android tops. That's why prices gone up. Android has more potential for future.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Maybe this is specific to different countries because on say eBay in Ireland and the UK ive noticed a slight drop in the price, nothing major but you can pick up a SGSII for €370 if you search and if you get lucky on fleabay you may even get it cheaper.

This is also true, despite the release of the Galaxy Nexus it still doesn't beat this phone, no micro SD card facility was a shocking emission, the Galaxy Note whilst a serious piece of kit is just far too big for most people for a phone, the size of this phone is perfect even slightly bigger but it the Galaxy S3 was as big as the Note i wouldn't buy it but i don't think it will be.
got it right on. There is not a single android phone that runs as smoothly as the sgs2-especially out of the box. I have been due for an upgrade for a while and just dont want to use it just yet. As far as the Nexus, had it for a day and promptly gave it back. I dont care what anyone says, its laggy as hell if you're coming from the exynos sgs2.
I bought my i9100 for 529.99 @ ebay unlocked tho
I use it without any problem, I'm from Ecuador.
In Ireland you can pick one up for under 350€.I got mine brand new for 340 and unlocked it myself , saved myself 300 euro by not going to a shop.

Bought mine for $3900 HKD a few months ago, dropped to $3800 or even more right now.
$3900 HKD = $502USD
$1USD = $7.8HKD
Good 'nuf because I sold my iPhone 4 for $3200HKD and added $700HKD for the SGS2.
I9100 model has very high demand which Samsung cannot meet, hence they are replacing it with slightly different I9100G model. Due to this the proce of I9100 has increased. Atleast thats the case here in India. You no longer spot I9100 here, only I9100G.
i bought mine for 400€ in an online shop from the netherlands in december, i also recently noticed the price rose to 440€ already in a month!

Yes thats true. even here in malaysia. about rm100 more. U need to know the guy in order to get it and if u do, it'll be an open box.
I still went ahead with the "G" and never looked back on this decision.
Prices are actually going down here.
Even in local shops, the S2 goes for 435,-€ at the moment, stock, sealed, unlocked.
You gonna buy new Samsung Galaxy S III soon?

Hey everyone.
I created a petition to Samsung to release the 32GB and the 64GB S4, as it seems their microsites are showing only 16GB (the 32 and 64gb has been removed). I'm not sure if they plan to not release the 32 or the 64 gb device or they removed because is not out on market.
However, if we don't make some noise, don't expect that to get respect from Samsung.
Please sign this petition. I will do my best to forward it to Samsung Mobile Division.
http://www.change.org/petitions/release-the-samsung-galaxy-s4-with-32-and-64-gb-internal-memory
Signed in the petition. Hopefully Samsung would stop this kind of practice that only releases 16GB initially then 32-64GB after 3months. :|
Also, I hope moderators may move this thread to the S4 general forums (I9505/I9500) as this is a S4 specific subject.

I hope people may see the importance in this. Even those who already bought the 16GB variants may still benefit from this as this will encourage Samsung/Retailers/Carriers (hopefully other device manufacturers like HTC, etc) that there is a 'significant' demand for higher device storage. If this is successfully, we might see a Note 3, ?S5?, other android phones with 16/32/64 or even a 128GB model available at release.
Honestly I don't believe in Samsung that retailers and carriers only orders the 16GB, as some online retailers have the 32GB on 'pre-order' since after 16GBs launch. I am thinking Samsung is purposely holding the 32GB and 64GB for commercial purposes, like releasing the 32GB/64GB in other colors aside from black and white. Or after the demand for 16GB slowed, then releasing some 'new' variants like 32/64GB to increase demand again.
I've signed this, I'm hoping to see the 32GB / 64 GB out soon! Or at least give us an ETA on when..
I am sure that is Samsung fault too. I spoke with a Samsung official and they told me to ask in stores, like he had no idea there is nowhere to buy higher memory S4.
I was in some big stores today and they called to their officials to ask about the stock of the 32gb S4, but they have no info either. Looks like Samsung blame the retailers and the retailers blame Samsung.
We need at least 1000 signatures. This way I would be able to forward the petition to Samsung. Please ask the family, friends, neighbors and share on Facebook, google+, twitter the petition. Come on guys, please help even if you don't like Samsung or have the 16gb version.

Yes I heard that there, in Africa, AT&T USA and even in Australia has been sold some 32gb devices. But what about unlocked USA, Europe and Asia? They should do same like Iphone or HTC, Sony etc, releasing in the same time all three version. We don't care the retailers don't order those variants, Samsung should find a way, maybe they should open an online store and sell them directly. I'm sure this way the price would also be more accessible than now

Thank you everyone ! If they release it fast, I'm sure those who got the 16gb version can replace it, but only if they release it soon.
@Shtihi, there is no ETA of it. Samsung says that they have it but retailers are not requesting them.
Keep voting and advertise the petition ! Trust me, I will do my best to make Samsung know about the petition, but we need more votes. Faster = better

It depends on whether it has features which one really needs and which cannot be found on NoteII. Maybe you look at it from that angle.
Just wait till its available (25Th September on wards), 49900/- is the MRP should be available or around 47.5k give it lill more time till October end and u should be able ti buy it for 42/43k, most of the online store are selling sony Z1 for 43k where as its available for 40700/- locally.
Personally I won't be updating this time around. The only features which really grabbed me are the new note taking ones but I don't even use my note 2 for that. I have a note 8.0 which is much better for the purpose. Phone calls, texting and email work just fine on the note 2 and battery life is great so no reason to upgrade until note 4.

No. Maybe N5 or N6. I have my N2 for 6 months.
No , going to Note 4 or S 5
No, Note at All
Actually I am very happy with note 2.
Who will go for 49000 INR mobile phone.
Rather I may buy another Note 2 for my wife because I can get it at 28000 INR only.
Practically there is no app in the Google Play that could not be run perfectly on Note 2
I was going to but my dad just got an s4 and I've been setting it up for him. And honestly most of the new features are pointless and possible battery hogs.
Granted there's 1 or 2 i would like. But unless I can get it for say 50 quid plus my phone? I don't see the point.

Yeah exactly, unless you have money to burn it's a bit pointless.

That's just the launch date price and in store price. I buy my phones off of Amazon.es, since I'm here in Spain. They go down in price really quickly. The note 2 was 700 euros when it launched last year, in October (mid october) I bought it online for 540. Which is 160 euros off the list price in stores. 8 months later in store it was still 700 euros.
I think stores have to get more competitive or else they will lose more clients. I can't beat lower prices, free 2-3 day shipping and being able to buy stuff from home. I still go out and buy stuff, but really expensive stuff is a lot cheaper online. I found my current house thanks to a listing online! haha.
Back to the topic: I am thinking of the Note 3 as an update to my Note 2, but not this month or maybe even next. November? December? January? I love my Note 2. But I am also eyeing the Sony Xperia Z1 as well was waiting for the Nexus 5. After we get some proper reviews I'll think about it. But I honestly think that 550 is a good deal for the Note 3. I refuse to pay more than 550 for any mobile phone (unlocked of course). So just wait a few days or weeks or maybe even a month and you'll see the price drop quickly, especially online due to competition with other online retailers.
So... Are you going to buy it ?
For battery the LG g2 is also nice!

I dont think I ll buy another samsung device. Note 2 is to keep untill it fries itself. And then moving back to HTC whatever they might have then.

No I dont see any reason why I should
Just wait for the JB 4.3 update for your Note 2....then you will have a note 3...except for the tacky plastic simulated leather case. Admittedly, it may not run as fast as the Note 3....but it will do everything the note 3 can do....why waste your money if you have a N2?:fingers-crossed:

I feel it's not viable because of the high price.. in India is quoted at Rs.49990 nearly 800 USD .UNLOCKED... way too expensive... think Samsung has got the pricing absolutely wrong this time... 40k should have made me think off an upgrade.....

Think it's good idea to wait for 4.3 then decide.. till then the process of Note 3n would have also cooled down... but samsung is delaying the software upgrades for all phones..it's very bad....
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
not me
yeah i prefer the looks of the note 2 more than the note 3.. i just want the update for my note 2 and hopefully some features from the note 3..
and then of topic the galaxy gear, do i need it? no.. do i want it? yes.. but both gear and note 3 prices were out today in finland so the note 3 will go for 750€ and the gear for 350€ and that is just too much for me , so will have to wait and hope the prices will drop fast
Recently I've been a frustrated Samsung UK underling, whom was unable to get any Note 10.1(2014) pricing or availability info internally.
Hence, I've been following threads in this forum in the hope of some info.
However, through a stroke of good fortune I met the Tablet Buyer of a Leading UK High Street Retailer...
The Note 10.1 (2014) 16GB WIFI only device will be priced at £479
The device will be available in approximately 2 weeks.
The buyer didn't know the price of the LTE model, which would suggest that the LTE model may not be available within a similar time frame.
Also the Tab3 LTE models will be available (Sim-Free) at the end of October priced with £100- £120 premium over the WIFI only models.
Hope this info eases a few minds!!!
Many thanks for all the great posts
all the best...
A definite pass from me then

Damn so we're looking at around £530 for 32 gb. too dear for me
WTF
Why are we always being ripped off here in the UK? Gotta buy them in the US then.
Tesco Hudl perhaps.
.
I don't care what components and specs are inside this thing. It should not be priced more than an ipad if it is still made of cheap plastic and looks like it was designed by a graduate.
Should be around £350.
Im not buying this out of principle despite being a millionaire and someone who just lost many many times over this amount in a poker game last night.
The Note 8 pricing was a complete joke but this isn't too far behind.
I don't understand why it is much more expensive than the US. $550 converted in £ with 20% extra for VAT makes £400 not £479.

Ok millionaire, can you give me £530? I swear it's not to buy me a 2014 GNote 10.1! Pretty please?
£479 = $775 for a 16 GB WiFi only device. Please tell me this is a joke.

I haven't yet, read a few reviews that have put me off. If it's not released here by the 14th, I'm going to take the risk.
I have received a confirmation from a major retailer here in Greece that it will be available next week. They told me that they have plenty of stock already.

Did you ask about the lte version and the prices ? btw which retailer ?
Well here in Sweden it is expected to be £550 for the wifi-only 16gb model. You do the math...
Wow, why is it so much more for other nations compared to the US?
