Anyone interested in buying a xda 2S only 2 months old cost over 600 euro new. Delivery will be by courier and payment through paypal. Any reasonable offer will be considered. Have placed it on Ebay twice but been ripped off by nigerian scammers twice.
So again any reasonable offers considered
If anyone still needs a Micro USB OTG adapter and doesn't want to wait a couple weeks for one from China, I found this listing on eBay for a nice angled adapter within the US for $8.95.
I actually already had a regular straight adapter, but it sticks way out and tends to get in the way when I have it connected. The angled adapter runs along the side and makes it much nicer to use. I ordered this one Thursday afternoon and it already arrived Saturday morning!
I thought I'd point this out in case anyone wants to get one without having to wait. I ordered my first cable from China, but when I decided to replace that with an angled cable I decided an extra couple bucks was worth a two day rather than two week ship time.
Thanks for that exactly what I was looking for - heaps better with the angle.
Very good find! The angle is going to be helpful

I'm happy I was able to help you guys. I threw up a similar post in the Xoom accessory forum after being really impressed by the price, shipping speed and quality of the adapter, and a few people thanked me for pointing it out. I figured people with an SII would probably be interested in these adapters as well. Let me know what you think!
i was looking for the same cable , with the same waiting time .. but paying via visa not paypal
but bad luck , my country doesn't support paypal
i have a internet mastercard , can any one offer the same cable with 3 - 4 days shipping

Doesn't PayPal allow you to pay with a credit card without having an account? Does the country restriction block that as well? What country are you trying to ship to?

from Egypt , and paypal Totally doesn't support my country
please anyone help me with the same cable in the topic
but from trusted and fast shipping site support credit card payment
something like Expansys , clove , mubilefun , handtec.. etc
because those sites meets exactly what i'm looking for
but the cable is out of stock at all of them
any help with another trusted site i don't know it yet ??
Now that this phone is finally starting to roll out in the US, I figured more people might be looking for a good source to order an OTG cable domestically. I checked and found that the seller has since restocked and relisted the cable, so I went ahead and updated the link to the new listing. Enjoy!

I mad this way back in October and kept it as a backup in case Handtec didn't come through but seeing as they did get it, already have my money, and are cheaper I'm canceling this one and going with them.
For anyone in the US who still wants to order one despite the SAV issue and doesn't want to deal with making an international order they're another viable option.
Don't know if 750 is viable.. what a mark up.

They're just passing the import fees along to the consumer and trying to make a $30-$40 profit like Negri did. Personally I have no problem going through a UK retailer but a lot of folks were hesitant.
I just received the same email too.
They were actually expecting stocks due next Monday. It looks like it arrived earlier.
For the price, I think it is OK. There is a $20 coupon which brings the total down to 729, plus they do not charge tax outside IL.
I just placed an order through expanys usa, only because my bank was blocking transactions though Handtec due to "fraud", which is rubbish because they are a legit company. Anyway Expansys charged me for shipping, while advertising free shipping, also none of the coupon codes worked (10OFFLC nor 20OFFLC).
I believe it is free shipping for 3-5 day.

I just placed an order with them clicking through Mr. Rebates to get 2% back and $20 off. The email acknowledgement shows -$20 for a total of $729.99.
I'll check my CC to see if they did only charge $729.99 or added to that.

I tried 20OFFLC and it did apply it. It shows it at the bottom. For warranty is expansys USA a authorized Samsung reseller?
oh man, soo tempting. I could probably have one in my hands this Friday

Anything sold outside its intended country of sale is considered grey market by Samsung and has no warranty. However, during the life of the two-year warranty Expansys-USA will send the phone to their UK affiliate for service on behalf of their customers. Anyone buying from Negri, Amazon, or eBay has no warranty. No one in the U.S. is authorized to sell the phone by Samsung and it's not a U.S. product. Should the phone need service, Samsung UK will ask for a receipt and/or credit card statement. The purchase had to be made in the UK in GBP and from an authorized reseller for the warranty to be valid. They also keep a database of which phone serial numbers were sent to specific dealers/distributors. Many i9100 repairs were rejected because they didn't meet the requirements I described. All us i9100 owners went through this when the phone first came out so what I'm sharing is fact.
I got the same email. My total was 729.99 and I was more comfortable buying from a company with a US presence.
$750 + $29 for 1 day shipping. = $777.94
is it worth it?

Where does it say that the phone comes with a two-year warranty? Does it say that one the Expansys USA website?
Any word if EX will ship these with USA plugs?

They will ship with a UK/EU to USA adapter.
Has anyone's Expansys USA order status for this phone changed to "Shipped" yet?

Thank you for the clarification. Any idea as to how is their customer service in case something goes wrong with the phone?
Buying from EXPANSYS USA does not void a warranty by any means. I sent my GS2 back for a repair with no problem at all. In fact, I called EXPANSYS and spoke with a rep there that offered to take care of everything for me. I shipped it back to EXPANSYS and they forwarded it on to France for me, got it repaired, and shipped my phone back to me when it was finished. They also gave me all the information I would have needed if I wanted to do it myself. I just went through them to alleviate any huge shipping fees and any unforeseen obstacles. It looks like they do have the Galaxy Nexus in stock now.... It's hard not to buy one!!!

I am tempted, but I really want the 32GB version.
Agreed. It baffles me that they didn't put any expandable memory slots on this device.
like the title says has anyone ever bought from this company? im on the fence on buying a galaxy s 2 now or wait to straighten out where to ship one from for under $650.
I would not do it. Every seller on that site will only accept payment with western union.
They also said why theyre so cheep is because they order in bulk so the cost is lower.
Is it possible? i have a friend that should be int the sates on October and i want him to buy it from the AT&T store, but can he buy it without any contract or a sim card?
if not is there any other way? i don't want to buy it directly and ship it to my country cos the taxes here will make the purchase unjustified (will add more the 125$ not including the shipment).
Yes, you can buy any phone that AT&T sales in stores without a contact.....except the iPhone. Currently the off contract of the Captivate Glide is $500 though from AT&T
If I helped you, please press the Thanks button

Or via amazonwireless.com
(ps. I hit thanks by accident on your message and i don't know how to remove it!)
I bought mine from Amazon Wireless, as phone only (phone upgrade), $ 399, and then unlock with an on-line service ($ 25).
the problem wit amazonwireless for me is that i need to have a US adress, there is a service for that but the charge an arm and a leg.
plus the taxes to import the phone makes it unwise to buy it online. i need to cheack with the customs again, maybe (if buddha will premit) there wont be import taxes on this phone (VAT will probley will be but its low amount).
I live in Europe and went to US in March and a tried to buy this phone in a AT&T Store and it was not possible. Even to buy the phone without contract they require a contract plan. I did buy the phone thru ebay later. I would suggest you the same if you have access to US address.

Do you mind telling us how much you paid without shipping then how much was shipping. Just to give others an idea on what they can get via eBay?

The phone itself has cost $389,99 and international USPS Express shipping was $44,99. This was quite cheap compared to the $600 (+ shipping) on Amazonwireless back then.
Btw. If any German is interested in the taxes I had to pay: It was about 63€ (~19%)
now days the glide cost 400 dollors via amazonwireless and the shiping in the staes is free.
i think i got lucky cos i have a friend that is gona visit is family in the states sooner then expected and he agreed that i will ship this to his family house, and he will bring it to me when he come back. so i can get away from shiping and taxes via customes.
yeah ebay its the only place to buy a phone anymore, altho some pawnshops will cut good deals. seems 300 for a new or refurbished phone on ebay is the going rate & most folks dont mind shipping outa country.
helpslip is there a problem buying from amazonwireless if i ship it in the US?
i can arrange a frined living there to get my package, dont know if he have AT&T service and actualy don't care only want the phone with no contract.
i wouldnt think so altho i have zero 1st hand experience w/ amazonwireless, if its ran the same way as amazon your purchasing from an independent seller sometimes just a dood w/ a garage no different than ebay & ebay now has 30 day buyer protection so they refund price & shipping (& return shipping if needed) if something doesnt arrive or doesnt work etc... ive even been refunded after more than a year for an item that didnt arrive from australia (to usa) altho i keep in contact w/ seller through ebay so they could verify a problem.
damn i sound like a shill for ebay sorry.
now i got confused. i saw that i can buy from amazon wireless an locked phonw with or without a contract and also from amazon.com itself that its seems sells from independet seller (like the market). whoshould i choose? at least i have some time to think about it cos my firned will be in the states in a month from now.
I bought from Amazon Wireless, which is Amazon direct. They will sell you a locked phone without contract.
When I bought it, it used to be wrongly labled as "unlocked" I contacted them and they offered a full refund. Since I'm in the UAE I didn't want that, just an unlock code, to which they said they can't help me with that. So I ended up unlocking from AmericanUnlocker.
I prefer to buy direct, in this case it would be Amazon Wireless, that'll help with returns.
thank incidentflux you made my choice clearer. i will buy it from amazon wireless direct. also the delivery is free and will take 2-3 days to my friend's door.
unfourtuntly it will take a while until i will get it, hope ics will be out by then and if not the inc3ption rom will be a great choise
Glad to help. Yes shipping is free as well. But the smartphone will still be locked to AT&T by the way, which is an inconvenience.
I also ordered the SanDisk 64GB MicroSDXC
