[Q] compatibility

I currently live in the US, and I'm about to go back to Korea for my mandatory military service. I want to buy a Nexus S in the states and take it to Korea, because it's a little bit more cheaper here. I saw a post here saying that the i9020T from T-mobile is the same as SHW-M200K, SHW-M200S from Korea. So if I buy the i9020T here would It work in Korea?

Frequency checks out for SK Telecom, but the other 2 carriers in SKorea, I am unsure of.

Thanks for checking it out. I'm going to bestbuy this weekend to get the T-mobile version then. One last question - is the price of nexus s rapidly dropping everywhere except bestbuy? if so then should I look for a different place to buy it? Thanks again.

If you're gonna buy it outright, its cheaper to buy online at different websites than from best buy. BB has it for 529.99 + tax. I found some for 459.99 at other sites. Keep in mind that bc some of these sites aren't physical stores, you won't have to pay for tax. Also a lot of them have free shipping and online coupons if you look for them.

[Q] Good price for this tab?

I can get this for around $260, is that a decent price?

is it a price you're happy with, how does it compare to other devices?
There are lots of countries such as Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore, as well as the United States that use $ so depends which one you are in too.

Yeah, which model and which currency? New? Used? If it's a new P6800 model and USD $260 then that is a ****in' excellent price. But, more details are needed.

Sorry, probably should mentioned I'm in the US. This model is the Verizon 4g model.

I paid $225 for a sch-i815 off ebay for a used one with scratches.

Why such a difference between the i815 and P6800? Is it because one is GSM? Also, can the i815 be used as a phone, or is it tablet only?

I bought mine through Verizon for the same price and it was "used" but literally brand new with plastic and not a mark on it. Totally a steal man.

P6800 is universal and can be used internationally across various carriers using their SIM cards. i815 can only be used on Verizon network. So it limits you immensely. Besides you can't use firmwares directly released by Samsung on their website. That limits you further because you are on the mercy of Verizon.
However in the USA, you don't have major carriers (except AT&T) on GSM.
One major problem is: If you buy P6800, there is no warranty from Samsung USA.

i think that is goooood price

How much did you pay for a "used" SCH-I815? I only found certified pre-owned ones for $279.99 online order only.

I got this tablet half a year ago for $260 (P6810) in Australia.

in amazon, last december, I bougth new for 200€ (p6810) , in Spain

[Q] Nexus 5 compatiblity in India

I have read at few review sites that there are two versions of Nexus 5. One for North America and Europe while other for Asia. Will a Nexus bought from USA work in India? Am planning to buy from USA from a friend.

While I can't confirm for sure, I believe it will since it supports all the GSM bands. I'm confident enough to have ordered one

My dad's friend who lives in USA is visiting on 22nd. Also my uncle is visiting USA for Buisness trip in November. I can get it from either of them But it should be compatible in India. Very confused

Does anyone what charges and how much for a 32 gig will be applied if I pay through credit/debit card of India and have it shipped over to aunts house in US, who would bring it over to India for me.

400$ for the phone itself + shipping to your aunt's house and local US state taxes (if any, depends on the state). Apart from that your Aunt can carry it in her luggage and she shouldn't have to pay customs (I've done this a lot).

[Q] Buying in China (physically)

Hi,
I'm going to be in China from now and until October and I really want to buy a 1+1, but don't have an invitation.
My question is where I can find this phone on the streets and how much will it cost there?
(I'll be at Shantou, Hong Kong, Guilin, Chengdu and Beijing).
Tnx for the help!

Couldn't you just buy the Chinese OPO online and have it shipped to where you are staying? Since they will ship from China, it won't take too long for it to arrive where you're staying?

He could save on shipping, tax and customs if he's already going to China

If you're already in China I don't think you have to pay for customs? I could be wrong as I'm not familiar with China. I would assume a Chinese phone shop could have them in stock or various carrier mobile stores.

I'm in Beijing and if you go to a store like Gomez they will have it there. Don't remember the price but I remember it being pretty close to what the cost for it was online.

Thanks for the comments!
When you say pretty close to the prices we see online, you mean online Oneplus store or sites like DX, eBay..?

after april 1st.. most likely around the 10th, but better off checking with your carrier as it will vary.

I heard the 10th of April

Whatever the date was in the Samsung reveal presentation on March 1st. Or it will be very very soon after that.

The question we need to ask is what storage options will the US Carriers offer? Will Verizon screw theirs over an only offer 32GB or what about AT&T, will they even go up to 32/64GB and will both skip 128GB. If I can't get 128GB I see no reason in getting it, with no microSD which was the excuse carrier stores told idiot customers not to worry about a 16GB phone, well 32GB is no longer an acceptable minimum storage when its officially up to 128GB now.

This things use to be late

April 10th in Canada.
Confirmed by carrier. Have a Black S6 128gb reserved.
US major carriers will have at least Black and White in all three storage options at launch.

That's what Samsung said during the March 12 or whatever event. 20 Countries or something April 10th and then the rest to follow around the world.

Hey guys
Not to post another thread I will ask here hopefully that someone can answer such question.
I am visiting Canada for business in May (I am from Russia) and wanted to buy the S6 or S6E. Is it possible for a non-Canadian and non-American to do so? The unlocked phone without a contract I mean.
Thanks

You would also need to make sure the network bands would match up between Canada and Russia. It would be unfortunate to pay $$$ for the device in Canada, and then have a device that can't connect to the cell network in your home country.

Yeah sure, we have some of the bands that matching. Actually some online shops sell here Canadian phones for that reason (so called "grey" import) but thanks for advise anyway!

Looks like samsung is doing the regional radio models thing again.
Make sure you check the bands/frequencies for where you'll be using it. They may not match up.
Otherwise you should be fine. If not at a carrier store then at bestbuy or futureshop maybe.

Great minds think alike

Currently, Samsung fanatics can only get their hands on a demo of the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge in a limited number of locales, including Canada.
