I got it from Amazon today in one day shipping. Just installed my apps and love the phone already. My gs2 needs to go now.
I have two question though.
1. Do they have only one version everywhere? I know the cdma version is a different one, but are all the gsm ones alike?
2. In case I need to get warranty on this, will Samsung be providing it in USA?

Yes and no. All GSM models are the same pentaband phones.. and as for warranty your guess is as goof as mine

I ordered through negri and they handle all warranty claims. Not sure how Amazon does it.

OK, I'll probably never need it but it's always nice to know that the phone is covered. Lucky you! May be I'll talk with Amazon regarding this. Thanks a lot for nice replies.

You may have extra luck because Amazon is good with customer service. But they probably sourced it from one of the UK importers, so that hurts your chances also. Most people are saying that the imported versions have no explicit warranty in the states.

There are a couple threads about warranties. I think people said you can get Asurion (or any other 3rd party, probably) insurance... not sure though.
Share your experiences with Samsung Warranty service in canada
BTW. I sended my Galaxy Nexus on February 16th and do you know when it gonna come back to me ? I miss so much my phone (using a Blackberry bold 9900 right now) -.-
Hello world??
Absolutely terrible. Just wait till you experience there "phone service"
I gave up after they eventually told me 6 phone calls later that my warranty was void because I bought mine on Ebay.

Motorola on the other hand is awesome. They repair rooted devices and purolator then back in a week.

Can i trust them ? I sended my phone because my screen was so crappy. They told me that my screen should be correct after the reparation.
did you get it back yet?
im in the same position.
What do I do I called they said my device is from the UK and I need a replacement also it is the white version
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
So how did you buy the device? If its white then it was from an importer or a site like Amazon or eBay, because that was never sold in the US. Sorry to say, but you have no warranty and Samsung UK has absolutely no obligation at all to help you because you bought a gray market device.
If you bought from a reputable importer, they may be willing to act as a middleman and help you with the warranty. That's the only way you're going to get warranty service done.
I bought it from someone on xda I don't know the history on it or anything

I called T-Mobile asking what voids a warranty and the lady told me that I can do anything I want to my phone and it doesn't void the warranty! As long as it isn't physical or liquid damage.
I think that's pretty cool because from what I've read, doing anything like that to your phone voids your warranty.

Well, she may had not been aware, but rooting your phone and installing custom roms also voids your warranty
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
yeah, probably.
too good to be true hehe
Custom ROMs.. rooting voids warranty... physical damage, lost, stolen, water damage is all covered
Under warranty.. I believe $130.. since assurion handles those this now.

Warranty covers only things that are defective, like screen dieing or speakers going out things like that...
Damage and water damage cracked screen and things like that are covered ONLY if you pay for insurance .. and its a 130$
Rooting will VOID your warranty but won't affect insurance ..
Also, don't listen to T-Mobile reps... they don't know much and will steer you wrong.

I thought there was something on XDA TV about how these big companies wanna act like rooting voids your warranty but if call them and know what your talking about then they would have to complete a warranty repair. It's a episode from a few months back. Look it up. Good stuff.

This is true. I bricked my phone because of a custom ROM that was not built correctly. I luckily had warranty still on it and they sent me a brand new one FREE OF CHARGE!!
if you get the 8 dollar plan, physical damage and water damage is eh. I think it's an amazing deal, does anyone not agree?
If you have that plan and do mess something up, you could always run it over with your car (or something a little more civil)

Do you have an insurance, or just a regular warranty. Did you call Tmobile or samsung?

Same here. I flashed a custom ROM. Don't know how I bricked it. Can't get into download mode with the three button methods. The phone just started and then get into boot loop right away. Brought it to T-mobile store and play dump a little bit. The guy at the store order my replacement for $20 processing fee. Got my new phone last week. They received my return this Monday. Have not hear from them so I asummed it is okay. I got lucky because my phone will be out of warranty on October 24th.

Just a future reference for anyone. Always go straight to the manufacturer or third party when possible. T-mobile F-ing charges you BS fees for everything.

When you do a warranty on the Black Galaxy S II right now, they give you the option of another Black S II or an HTC One S. It's been that way for a week or two. The reason they are doing that is because of low replacement inventory for the Black S II. If you choose the S II, your replacement will be on back order instead of the usual next day delivery. The HTC One S can be sent next day. The White S II does not have this option. Not sure why they are not offering the White S II as a replacement for the Black S II, except that they may be trying to conserve inventory on it, as it outsold the One S.

I dont have php insurance. Can i get that option for a regular warranty

I tend to buy all of my phones brand new, sometimes lightly used and unsubsidized. TMo is great since they charge a decent price if you don't want the phone subsidy. I usually stick with the manufacturers warranty.
All I will say is if you brick your phone, make sure you hard brick it if you are going to a T-Mobile and getting it replaced. I hard bricked mine the first time I tried installing a I-9100 rom on my T989 because I thought "Galaxy S2" meant all of them on the CyanogenMod website (yes, my first time flashing a rom). They replaced it since it was under the 20 day complete return (if its under 20 days they will replace it with a BRAND NEW one instead of a refurbished) and it came overnighted (unfortunately I bricked it friday and talked with them so I had to wait til monday because they were closed on weekends. If not under the 20 days they will give you a 20$ processing fee and a refurbished phone that may look new but it certainly isnt.
Hey guys,
I purchased my note 3 from craigslist brand new, and I broke the manufacture seal on the box. Is there any 3rd party warranty I can get? Square trade doesn't appear to offer warranty for the note 3 and my research online indicates they don't honor phones bought from craigslist

I would like to root this phone which means I will loose Knox warranty though Samsung,so before rooting I want to get a third party warranty in case something happens to this phone. As most 3rd party warranty companies don't care about Knox status

I believe you're fine by rooting it, just don't flash custom recoveryand rom or you will void warranty

All I know is that if the phone is in good Condition you can add insurance to the line.
