[Q] Buying new phone. - Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G

Does anybody know where to buy this nice phone in Europe?
Best in UK or Germany or Poland.
Of course it can be any international www site that can send it to any of that countries above.
What about warranty then.
Does Samsung have international warranty or it depends from something else?
I am looking on ebay.com but no new phones and with shipping to UK.

Where to buy a n8000?

I am thinking about buying a N8013 but if I do buy a 8000 for the 3g capability, where is a good place to get one from.
Anyone have a favorite supporting store that they like?
Thanks

India it's n8000.
Yes you can order it from India but doubt any of the sites ship overseas
New Egg has them
I am in the USA.
Not seeing the 8k on Newegg, just the 8013.

Do not think 8k is launched in USA you only have the wifi version over there you will need to import it
I'd suggest getting it from Handtec or Clove in the UK. That's where I get most of my imported devices from. I got my N8000 from Negri because there wasn't a release date in the UK yet and it has a Brazil/Trinidad CSC and hasn't been updated from the shipping s/w. EU devices get much more frequent updates and have had as many as three compared to my none. It's 405 GBP ($652) all-in delivered overnight from Handtec. Since you're buying it from an authorized dealer in its country of intended sale the 2-year Samsung warranty will be preserved. But you'll have to send it to the UK at your own expense if it needs repair. If you buy it from Negri or Expansys-USA you'll have to send it to them for repair and they'll send it to one of their oversees affiliates who will have it repaired on your behalf.

Any unlocked Samsung mobile device that's sold in the U.S. is considered grey market and has no warranty because it's not intended to be sold here and can't be by an authorized reseller. Buying a Samsung device outside its intended country of sale and/or from a non-authorized reseller (CL/eBay/Amazon) means Samsung won't honor the warranty. Negri and Expansys-USA get around it by shipping their U.S. customer's devices that need repair to overseas affiliates.
This is what the link you posted says about warranty. I'm guessing the 90 days means NewEgg (not Samsung) will exchange it if it's becomes defective during that time.
Limited Warranty period (parts): 90 days
Limited Warranty period (labor): 90 days

Could be, If only there was a bit more detail.
Does anybody know what the price will be within the US?
Also, should I wait a month for the price to drop? (I heard it drops after a month)... first time buying a phone out right

Sweet jesus!.. I thought these new phones start around 599.
Do you have to buy from an "authorized dealer" for Samsung to cover the phone for the warranty?

Samsung doesn't really warranty unlocked phones sold in the U.S. as they aren't really meant for U.S. retail sale.
Your best bet is just buying one outright from your carrier, Best Buy (for their warranty), or putting it on your home owner's insurance policy. You can even buy 3rd party insurance like SquareTrade.

This came up in another thread and my personal thoughts about Expansys is to wait a bit until they get their information about what they will send and when they will send it more correct. They have failed to reply to my Email (over 4 days now) about verifying the exact model #s and capabilities of the S4s they are going to sell. Do what you want, but I'm going to buy from an authorized dealer (AT&T, Best Buys, Radio shack, etc...). There are reputable dealers that use Amazon (and I presume Ebay) but I'm not going to take a chance with this kind of money.
Close to launch day, and still no news about availibility on Amazon!

So if you buy from Bestbuy unlocked phone, the warranty is from Best Buy and not Samsung? I believe this will come from third party companies, much like Best Buy extended warranty.
Now I'm curious, if I buy from Bestbuy using my American Express card, will I get the extended warranty from American Express?
S4 begin to be available in France, but still no news from Amazon :crying:
Amazon Germany is clueless as always with mobile releases.....
Not always! I had the HTC One before everyone in France ordered on amazon.de
Did someone receive the S4 from Amazon europe?
can someone tell me where can i find the phone in uk online or in stores near london without being in a monthly contract. its out of stock everywhere
I canceled my order on Amazon and purchased the phone directly from the Samsung Mobile Store in Paris, why should I wait when a physical shop had it available nearby ? Amazon just weren't fast enough to my tastes.
Phone is now "in stock" in Amazon.fr

[Q] Electronics Warranty Firm for Europe? (Like SquareTrade for US)

Hello,
I stumbled upon SquareTrade and found it nice, however when I asked them if their services are available in Europe, they said nope. So I would like to ask you if you know of any similar firms that work in Europe? Particularly for a tablet and btw I live in Bosnia & Herzegovina.
Thanks!

Questions about Samsung Warranty, maybe Int/Global. Anyone with experience?

Planning to buy a International / Unlocked phone online (Amazon, Ebay, or some electronic / computer retailer) due to cheaper prices or better specs. Am I still backed by Samsung Canada or Samsung Global/International if phone is having issues/broken within 1st year. Yes or No for either/both ? I've read Samsung International can deal with it if I'm registered or something like that. Can anyone share their experiences?
If I buy phone from other Samsung Stores in other countries (US, UK or somewhere else) and have them shipped to me. Am I only covered for that country and nowhere else? (Example: I buy from Samsung UK, only their UK store covers my warranty. If there is any issues, I have to send the phone back to UK?)
Whats the best way get to their unlocked/International phones that actually has warranty? Apparently the specs for unlocked phones from Samsung Canada are not to my taste; looking at dual-sim which they don't have.
Thanks a million for all help.
