I don't know if its available in the UK but when you add a card to your Samsung Pay account it gives you 1300 points, in the store you can get a few things but the S8 case for 1000 points seems to be the only accessory you can afford immediately.

Bummer that it is the S7 and not the S8, or I'd pick it up in a heartbeat.

Hey thanks for this info. Just received my 1300 points. Is Samsung pay better than Google wallet?

Yes it is. Samsung pay uses mst sensors (pay anywhere you can swipe a card) vs Android pay using nfc only.

Tab 2 7.0 w/ GSM?

The Samsung website, list the Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) with +HSPA ability... but I can not find any stores that sell it.
BestBuy.com only list it w/ WiFi capabilities.
Does anyone know where to purchase the +HSPA (GSM) model? And please no sites like eBay..
I want a reputable store.. bestbuy, frys electronics, tigerdirect, etc. No Chinese CrackStores on ebay.
Thank you...
I think you should post your country
If country is not necessarily for you, I can recommend at least nine nice stores in Ukraine
lol
I bought mine here:
www.negrielectronics.com $388.50
Sorry..
Country: US

That site seems to Highly Overprice its items... iPhone 4S 16GB Original Price $1,198? I think not.. Their sale price is still more than the Unlocked version straight from the Apple Store ($649.00) and the Galaxy Nexus is priced $30 more than what I paid via the Google Store.
Think I'll keep looking... plus I'm not familiar with that Retailer. Really looking for somewhere I can walk in and buy..

The Galaxy tab2 is not overpriced on that website,although the Galaxy Nexus (I also bought mine from Google Play) and the Nexus 7 tab are, and I agree with you.As for the iPhone they are overpriced everywhere regardless of the website.
And yes you can get the p-3100 in the US.

No Note 2 flip cover or batteries. Oh well.
so what you cant even order any gn2 accessories yet
The Samsung site seems to suck hard time finding accessories JUST for the Note 2.
Are there any accessories from the Note 1 that are compatible?

Ya it is probably just good for the universal products as the Note 2 has not been released in the US yet so I can't imagine they would be selling accessories specifically for it as of now... Kind of a bummer but it's good for a few other things... Just wanted to post this in case it might help anyone... Good Luck...

This is posted in a Note 2 forum - that's what. So naturally readers will look for, well, Note 2 accessories.
Guess if you need a $89 SD card (lol) it may be a good deal. But thanks OP.
I was hoping to snatch a pair of overpriced Note 2 flip covers for half off but no dice...
The code still good for at least another month. Hopefully they will have the accessories for the note 2 after the US released.
*Limited time offer. Valid from 10/12/2012 to 11/26/2012. Offer limited to 10 items per shipping address. Discount limited to mobile accessories only.
Well, guys we can just wait til tomorrow (hopefully Note II accessories will be out after the official announcement) and also, you can register your own note and get the codes later.
In any case, if anyone needs a 64GB microSDXC (C10/U1) from Sandisk, Amazon (US) has it for $43:

Pretty pricey and I would check their feedback rating first before purchasing it. If they have 0 ratings or ask you to pay without using ebay I would def stay away
Is it a presale? alot of people do that and wont ship it to you till the phone is launched.

Its not presale. one phone is 500 usd and 2 was min to order. The seler has 100 % positive feedback
Search it on ebay galaxy s4
looks pretty legit aside the photos are dummy phone looking or stock photos.
If you fail to see that this is fake then you deserve to have your money taken from you, period!
I did email the seller.
and here's his response to me.
Hi,
Quick info about my items:
- 100% factory unlocked, 100% genuine Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 in original sealed boxes. I have both colors: White and Black.
- I have EU, UK and US version of the phone with 64GB. You can use them in any country with any sim card.
- The phones are bought directly from factory and also this is the reason why the prices are low. They all have 1 year international warranty.
- I can send them with DHL, FedEx, UPS, Royal Mail or your preferred shipping company. The items are sent from my warehouse in Glasgow.
- Free Customs. That is right... Free Customs. I gathered a lot of experience sending items internationally and Customs are not a problem anymore.
- As you can see in my description: Pickup is not available at this time as i do not hold stock on hand for security and reliability reasons.
- I will provide IMEI and custom photos ONLY after i have payment confirmation from eBay.
Minimum order is 2 (no exceptions). My stock is greater than 20 and also you will get great discounts for bulk orders. How many phones do you want ?
Thanks

Definitely a scam. Possible hijacked eBay account. Seller asks to pay through bank transfer not PayPal. Run! Or kiss your money goodbye.

Don't do it.
The price of this device will be the same when it's released in your store nearby, and you will have a 100% warranty it works or replacement or repairs. You won't get warranty if bought from eBay for sure and they are all PRE ORDER ( PRE SALE ), dispatch will be from 30th April. All written in the description of the product page on eBay.
My advice; wait.
Even if it was legit, I wouldn't order anything that would be shipped out of another country other than my own. Even if the item were socks.
I've bought about a dozen phones through Ebay the last 2 years, sticking will decently rated sellers, 97% and up, and have never had a problem. (Other than the 97% guy shipping too slow; now I go 99%.)
This includes a new OneX, a GT-I9300 and an Xperia P, all from Hong Kong.
Rumor 2 days old about sales already in China, and I've seen several Ebay sales and auctions go through for GT-I9500, for allegedly immediately available stock. I posted in this price thread about the $612 - $840 or so price range, the lower for 2 at $1225: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39194227#post39194227 Buy it now guy seems to be in the US.
I can't vouch for any of the vendors. As far as I know, as long as you stick with EBay/Paypal, purchase should be protected. If it's a scam, then it appears to me probably at least a dozen or 2 people have been scammed and it will become well known.
I'm waiting to see if anyone posts their purchase (or scam) here. Perhaps they're getting early production units with more faults than average. Under Features Radio for one listing though is TBD, LOL. Maybe the app and other software features aren't ready for prime-time yet.

Hey Samsung, where's the freebies and deals for those outside the US!?

- Free VR
- $30 vouchers
- 2 for 1 wireless chargers
- Free SD cards
Seen a number of deals as above for US customers, not a lot for those of us outside the US! Some retailers offered the VR for free but not all.
I know this isn't much but I'm from Canada and my pre-order includes the Gear VR, and a 128gb microsd. I'm used to not getting anything.
don't forget the 6 game bundle from Oculus
Just the VR in The Netherlands. And it seems to look like it that those who got the phone thru a carrier here and didn't pay the full 800 Euro (it comes free with a 2-year subscription of about 50 Euro a month) are not getting the VR. Samsung declined my girlfriends promotion registration !
I bought it carrier free for the full amount and just got confirmation my VR will arrive within 8 weeks.
In UK you get the Gear VR with it, either ourright (which I did), or through some of the operators. VR was delivered together with the phone on 8/Mar (I pre-ordered).
That part is good, and by itself no issues.
however, it is a shame that the US is getting more freebies.
Here in Puerto Rico we got The new Samsung OnLive Bluetooth Headphones, Gear VR and $50 Oculus cupon on the spot for people that reserved the S7 or S7 Edge. Didn't have to wait for freebies Nice package if you ask me.
O2 customers get free Jabra sport wireless headphones 14 days later
In Turkey, we don't get anything except the phone and shamelessly they charge those people who preordered the vr for 30$. What a lame company, The S7 Edge costs about 1100 USD here, total ripoff.
In iraq i bought my lovely s7 edge with 719$ without any extra.. any way i have VR too and so far happy?
Here in thailand

Did you sent the right invoice and filled in the right information like where you bought it etc.
Oh and I got 100GB onedrive for free (Temporary)
The Free Gear VR deal was worldwide..anyone had access to it if they wanted to, one way or another. Sometimes via operators.
However, is the wireless charger deal for the new, angled charger ? Because otherwise it doesn't look like a good deal to me.
I'll trade the VR gear for your root!

Yes Jef, she filled in the form in the exact same matter as me, the reason in the email from Samsung was:
"we need an invoice that proofs that you paid the phone in advance in full", of course her invoice doesn't say that cause she got it with a subscription.
So this leads me to believe the previous statement I made: 'only VR if you paid full'. Another option is that they made a mistake and treated her in the same matter as me and didn't see she prolonged her subscription

Ugly black spot on the edge of the display

Well, I was lucky enough to purchase a s7 edge (935F) with a veryy unusual defect of the display or glass.
At first I was hoping that is one of the edge features, but soon enough my hopes were crushed with reality... Have anyone met such ugly thing?
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2DNP4rFBrsrcXo4djQ3SEdhNlE/view
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2DNP4rFBrsrVUxkZWl2ejZwYms/view
I purchased it from a US ebay seller and mailed to Russia through a forwarding company, so it will be huge pain in the ass to return it to the seller and will lose money on mailing it back to the US.
That's a defect. May I ask you why you got an American version? I assume they sell the S7 Edge in Russia?

Yeah that's defenitely a defect, I investigated a little and found that it is rare but usual occasion for all edge models.
I understand your frustration, but this is actually an international version I purchased from a US seller http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...301908930098?ssPageName=ADME:X:RRIRTB:US:3160
It was 700 USD on march 31 and I also received 10% cashback on my card (ebay + my bank special promotion) so final price for me was 655 USD, including 25 USD for mail forwarding to Russia (direct shipping from the seller was not available).
The price in offical Samsung store for S7edge in Russia is 900 USD. You can find it for 800 USD in some small online shops.
As you can see my soultion was much better in terms of money spending, but now I wll have to pay for my attempt to save some bucks
