Galaxy R was launched in the Indian market with limited stocks so it is not available the market as of now because after the price drop most of Galaxy R's stock was sold out pretty quickly.
Galaxy S Advance is the handset with slightly lower spec and different chipset is in the pipeline to be launched soon without any specific date.
Moreover check out more shops because maybe & I mean in a very rare case you may still get Galaxy R as done of the shops still might have some last pieces.
Do update here whatever you buy.
Hope this helps.

i have searched almost every shop in my city but finding a sgr is like far cry for me they have galaxy s plus in place of sgr but i didn't find it worth money as compared to sgr.. i need sgr badly

Hi,
Please do check entire fone in the shop itself. There are chances that he mite be seliin refurnished fones. Please make a thorough check of the product. If purchased then do check d warranty of fone either by online/Hotline No / service center..
All the best

The only way to check for a refurbished handset is to check for the seal on the box to be proper and a not a re-sealed/double sealed one.
Though there maybe ways around that too but its the first rule to check the seal.
And use the handset and check every thing you can during the first three days itself as Samsung will replace or make a refund to you if you face any issue and report it to them within 3-4 days of purchase.
Do update when you get one.

One suggestion though, why dont you get Motorola Atrix 2 for 22k engadget.com/2011/10/27/motorola-atrix-2-review/
seems a better option all together

Even LG optimus 2x is better alternative similar to Galaxy R you can get it for 19,500 if you didn't find any store who sells Galaxy R. LG UI is not so gud and u need to go for custom ROM, optimus 2x is having so many custom ROM'S.

i found one sgr in faridabad which cost 21900 looking forward for it

Well i think that this story is half true,
People have been using there R, and only few of them have been facing this issue, including me.
The defect varies from each R. And yes Samsung do give refund if its nt repairable.
Also chk d link. people are also facing such issue

I guess there's no way to assure that u will or won't get the defective one. According to my observations (this and other forums' users) I would say that most of the devices are problems-free. I guess not even 10% of users of our community complained over those issues. It's up to you if you take the risk or not.

Shipping

I want to buy Nexus 7 32GB + 3G, but I‘m from Romania and here the price is toooo much!
Maybe i buy it from US or my friend. He is in Canada.
What to do?

Thank you very much!

Ebay with worldwide shipping?

http://m.ebay.com/Pages/ViewItem.as...x364&sv=nexus 7 32 gb 3g&emvcc=0&nbcol=0|null
How about the international shipping price?
Sent from my LG-P350 using xda app-developers app

Just look at various shipping carriers and see how much it will cost to ship - it's going to be the same no matter if you get it on eBay or if a friend sends it.
I sent an iPod to Russia and the flat-rate box was the best deal and it cost me $15 - not sure if you're looking at the same thing from North America. The box was the size of a VHS tape, so it wouldn't fit any original packaging in it - that would cost more.

Cost of phone
What is the cost of samsung galaxy s3 in us?i hope it is low than india..if i m right...i have samsung wave but it is a bad phone to carry on with..i m planning to sell it but i m not getting proper price....plss reply regarding the price...and is there any cheapers means to get mobiles in us??

You could buy a used phone from the USA or otherwise - and have it shipped. The only problem is, of course, shipping costs - it's best if you do your own research to be able to suggest the best way to the seller if they don't have experience. It can be really, really expensive to send non-flat-rate boxes. I sent a package to Japan flat-rate for $16, but a woman who wanted to send a blanket to her daughter in the same country was going to have to pay ~$75 (so she decided to just send her daughter money and have her buy one there).
The S3 is something like $600USD new, I think. You can get it for less used, of course.

I wonder if the $12 one with the standard usb would work?
64gb and 128gb usb sticks AND mhl a la hdmi here we come?
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

Have no clue, and I don't think the USB port would work. Based on the physical design of the handset, there's only positive and negative poles on the left hand side to be contacted with the docking station. In this connection, I would only try the inexpensive version, and to report the same next week(hopefully)
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium

i don't see how any of these could offer usb sync and such.
the pogo pins are solely for powering the device, there is no data interface as far as i know. just +/-
however for that price those things look just like the stock one, if it works well its probably a very good buy.
looking forward for a review.

Agreed, there is no way that the one with full size USB could work, unless Sony had worked some magic to mux the power with the data in just two pins. Doubt it.
Otherwise, it'd have to have a microUSB plug in the dock and you'd have to open your USB cover.

The USB data wouldn't work. Maybe the USB input is just another extension for power, to charge 2 devices at the same time? Some sort of daisy chaining? Sony confirmed that the pins can only transfer power though.

Just check it out, they don't export to Hong Kong, and schedule to release in mid-May
USB port is power outlet only

Lookslike that this page don't send to europe, or I am wrong?

Indeed, If they did, Sony would have included it in their own dock.

Only sales within Mainland China. Hong Kong and Macau are excluded. So as the rest of world.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium

Well this look nice.
I didn't actually need a dock. I just want to charge my phone without opening the water-proof seal on usb port everyday.
A cable attach to the 2 pin power port should the perfect solution for me.
But until we have that, cheaper dock is a must buy for me.

Chatted with seller, the cheap one ($8 version) shall depart China toward my office in Hong Kong on or before next Wed

Is there any e-mail to contact seller, since I can't read chinese and sometimes even gtranslate can't help . I would like to contact seller, to see what are options to get dock in rest of the world. I am pretty sure, for at least 5-10 XZ owners in my area would buy even the most expensive one, as it's still really cheap. Me personally I would go for middle one, since is kinda better than expensive one...

You might consider those taobao agents who buys it for you and shop it to you. Advantage they speak English and accept PayPal for example
I used http://www.engtaobao.com/ to ship mine dock.
Dock itself was $14, shipping was $2,5 and probably small (5%) handling fee.

A new battery: the difference

I got 2 sgs4g as soon as they came out and just ordered a new battery from amazon for ten bux, radio shack will charge you fifty. The difference is just unbelievable. its a brand new sgs4g. No random reboots. My battery lasts a day on GB. Around 20hrs on ICS. Maybe more on jb but I can see now that a lot of sod issues could be the battery actually. A lot of battery drain... it would no longer be a problem if ppl would get a new battery. Its so worth it

Can you use eBay in VN, and buy from a Chinese vendor? Wouldn't that help reduce the shipping cost since China is closer to VN?

Check ebay. Nobody will buy it for more than they ask there unless you offer it with a clean installation of a good custom rom AND you find a buyer who knows enough to appreciate it.

Generally, a pawn shop is the worst place to try getting anything close to market value for an item. You might get lucky and find a shop that does not know how to properly value used electronics and give you something close to fair value. But I would lean toward ebay, or craigslist if you live in a large enough city/region - CL usually means a lower selling price, but no ebay/paypal fees or having to worry about shipping issues or buyer remorse.

Where would you go to check the going price for a used consumer electronics item?
As long as there is one for sale on ebay, you won't get a better price elsewhere.

would you guys with the docks be willing to sell just the dock? I never got the dock to begin with because at first i didnt think it was worth turning my tablet into a little netbook type of thing but recently ive seen more and more people type up notes with their keyboard and tablet in class and im interested to see if its worth it.
Im kinda going on a tangent but did you guys get alot of use from the dock?

Sold mine for 400. Best place is Facebook on any of the university forums.

I originally bought the dock to type my school papers on the go. Then I would transfer and fix it, but I just bought a laptop for that. I didn't really use the dock
