You will need an external unlocking service, such as popping round to a local unlocking shop or using a service like https://unlockcode4u.com/unlock-Samsung/Galaxy-Ace-2-I8160.htm - I've never tried it so be careful. o2 had a great deal but for a black version, for like £130 or something for Christmas.
I bought my Ace 2 at Phones4U before Christmas for 130 quid. It's unlocked and I had the choice between black or white. Not sure what the current price is but you might want to ask.
thank you for replying.
My b'day is coming up early february and i was thinking about buying the ace 2 (white) for 160.00 plus 10 credit = 170.00
is this worth it or shall i wait? although im desperate for a smarphone right now.
i cant believe phones 4 u were sellin at 130 pounds...why is the price so high now?!

if you really can't wait ace2 is worth is because of the fact that it has a dual core prossecor, plus it is gettin jb soon. Now I don't know about your currency but in Greece it was on a really low price for a while so I grabbed it.Although if u think it's expensive and you can wait I read that another mid-range phone which has close specs to ace2 is being released soon so ye.
you could try your local CEX (Entertainment exchange) and see wha they've got, just before christmas they had several phones for under £120 that i preferred but my partner made me buy an ACE 2, im not complaining but i spent £180 on the ace 2 black and could have had a nexus S or xperia play for less and they were unlocked. the Ace 2 i bought from EE shop (orange/tmobile) is locked to one of these 3 networks.
If you really are set on an Ace 2 try CEX's site obviously you can then limit the search to the store closest to you.
According to this http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sam...-go-upgrade-unlocked-phones4u-instore-1458341 the Ace 2 is £109.95 at Phones4U at the moment.
Since there is no forum for Galaxy Note 3 yet, I thought I would start a thread for pre-order deals for those who are going to upgrade.
I have just pre-ordered mine from Clove for £526 shipped to AUS!
Anyone else know any other pre-orders available out there?
I have read your thread, was going to reply but I don't really care about the back as I always uses cases and custom back covers

What about the memory? Were you able to get 64Gb or 32GB? I can't find anyone selling a 64GB version.

No Sprint yet...
Sprint, where are you? Softbank needs to flex some muscle and drop the 64GB Note 3 on Sprint for $299 on contract.

Well I sold off an iPad mini 64GB LTE that I got through a rewards program, thought I could live with it, but the screen is, well CRAP. So I sold it and those funds will pay for my GN10.1 tablet.
I have been holding out for a new phone for a while, okay a few weeks since I returned my GS4 (still have funds in the GS4 bounty to help others out) and as for the GG, yeah its a novelty, a pricey one at that, but I have 14 days to play with it and if I don't like it I return it to Verizon and get a full refund, no harm, no foul, no issues.
BUT, if I do like it I got it and off to the races I go.

I jut have numerous applications on my phone... the 32GB would not bother me so much if they allowed APP2SD with Jelly Bean. With the 4.3 is it now possible to put applications on the SD card or not?
I'm curious to now what the developed Kent will be on this device.
Now up on Clove for the 32GB version expected last week of September at £594 including VAT.

It's funny that no one mentioned apps2sd during their reviews, but then again no one ever mentions usable storage space either, go figure and they call themselves reviewers.
I do suspect apps2sd will be on the GN3, its on the GS4 and that will only serve to add value and benefits for Samsung. I just wish it could move app data as well for the large games.
I'm looking for the international version (off contract) anyone know where to find this on the 25th? I'm guessing amazon will have sellers up???

Not a super fan of best bu y but the final price that I pay will be the same as Att sells it for or amazon. 799 is just the estimate. Card gets charged when I pick up phone. I confirmed this with manager. Good looking out. So about the 4.2.2 thing.II'm sure it just an error on best buy side but I thought it was worthy of a post.
After seeing people from other countries receive their Note 3, I am getting so anxious for my phone to ship out. Why couldn't everyone just get it at the same time? AUGH!! THis is a pointless thread, but I've honestly read all the threads regarding any type of shipping/preordering/inside leaks 3 times a day for the past 2 weeks. LOL. And I just want to write something and vent. Ha

Its better than the six month wait it used to be for galaxy one and two
I was completely fine waiting until the 2nd. Then T-Mobile listed the estimated shipping date as the 24th. I got my hopes up despite my best effort not to, and now I'm checking my email/bank account/t-mobile site every five minutes for an update like a mad man.
Checked my preorder status twice today!!! ugh this sucks!! i just want it now! my bionic is killing me!

I'm right with the OP, I was ok waiting (kind of) until all the over-seas post of people receiving their Note III's.
I had the Sprint Note II up until 3 months ago when I switched to T-Mobile. I knew the Note III would be out within a few months so I could not see buying another Note II for a few months so I bought a Nexus 4 to hold me over. I miss the Note!!!
I think I'm going to try to stay off xda for the next few days...Yea right!!!
Ship the phone already!!!!

Super anxious here too! Got rid of the HTC One after being quite disappointed by the battery life. It went from fully charged to dead over the period of a football game the other weekend. Reverted back to the Galaxy Nexus that I've had for a while. Even after being rooted the Nexus has just degraded in performance and the power button only works when sternly pressed in the upper portion.
Ready for an upgrade out of necessity!

I can wait a few more weeks. I could get one "now" but I am holding off, like I did when the Note1 came out.
Bless the early adopters, but I'm lazy...I don't want to wait a month or more for a sure fire root/rom/hack to come
out to use some of my programs that require root. You early adopters make it SO MUCH EASIER :good: for someone
like me that has reached the point in their life, they just want to unbox it, set it up, root it and be done with it.
I plan on ordering something around Halloween. By then, a solid root/hack/fix for any issues that develop should
be in place. :victory:
AT&T should be shipping mine early next week (10/1 or 10/2). Should have in time for my birthday on the 5th! Cant wait!

Anyone else do a preorder for the LGv20? I ordered one through Avant and noticed the one other person who preordered was also coming from a note 7.
I'll be picking my unit up October 31. Fortunately within the refund window of my note 7
I'm thinking of preordering one. I hear the dual sim version that we will get also has fm radio enabled. Not to mention the free extra batt and 200sd card. Does the B&O headphone come with it?
According to the sales person I talked to, it comes with both the free battery and b and o headphones. Wasn't able to ask about the FM radio. Avant in greenbelt has a display unit that you can play with so you can go check that out. I don't know if other branches will have display units...I only went and preordered in avant. No LG store in Makati..
Update. I went back to the store I ordered the unit from and talked w the sales person there. Seems LG Philippines didn't think they would need that many sd cards that they bundled with the pre order. All preorders from last Saturday onwards will have the sdcards to follow because they didn't order enough.
Heard the avant Makati branch has around 35 pre ordered units while the mega mall preorders reached more than a thousand already. No idea about other pre order stores.
Does Avant Makati have enough SDs? I am planning to preorder on the 28th.

Even their pre orders started on a weekday...
I can't wait.. Lol
I'm going to miss my note 7 though...
Most of the v20 sales came from ex note 7 users. So Samsung really dropped the ball here. Funny how they asked what was our old unit when we did the pre order. Did they always use to do that? Or just now? To see if the note buyers move to them?
I already purchased a clear ringke fusion while waiting for it. Im also planning on getting a dbrand skin. Just not sure what color to get atm.

How are the included earphones? They are b&o but they dont look like h3s as far as I can tell.
Are you using dual sims? Do they both get lte or do you need to set up which one thatll use it?

Yes, both sim supports LTE, but not at the same time, the B&O IEM are not the H3, they are much cheaper than the H3, and much rounder, probably give you a better fit, cound be made by LG with B&O logo, could be wrong, but the built quality is considered good.
I just got mine today from cmk. It came this morning and was supposed to come on the 31st but they allowed me to pick it up today. They didn't predict so many pre orders so I have to get the 200gb SD card a week from now. It comes with an extra battery and headphones but no extra battery cradle. For those who have it, does the light breed on the upper left? Other than that it's perfect!
Can I ask why no one is discussing the new watches?
I have searched and cannot find a thread for this or a dedicated new forum page.
I am probably just being dumb but if there is such a thread could someone kindly direct me to it.

Why?
Is bixby and 100 mah battery worth 350 euro? And the removal of MST?
I accept the upgrade is not massive but I was always torn between the S3 Classic or Frontier and I believe that this is a perfect blend of the two. So essentially it it just aesthetics for me.
I got the Frontier second hand for £180 and Samsung are giving me £100 trade in so I think overall it is a reasonable price to pay.
Also the mst is totally irrelevant to me as I never use my watch for payment, always happy to just use my phone.
I am interested on those who are receiving theirs today in the USA. Please let us have your reviews.

For me the fact that I can go swimming with it now is worth the upgrade. I didn't use MST on my Gear S3 anyways. I ordered from BestBuy and I got an email I can pick it up today. So will grab it on my way home from work.

Can you test whatsapp? Change something or is still like s3? You can use bixby for send new WhatsApp message ?
Well so far I'm not impressed. Its been a little over 24 hours of light use and my battery is at 75%. The galaxy app says 2 days 12 hrs left, so that would put the battery life somewhere around 3 and 1/2 days about 1 1/2 days shorter then they claim (5 days). The Bixby app is horrible, if I ask the weather or a question it takes a very long time to respond compared to the S-Voice of S3, at one point it even froze. The daily briefing feature is kinda cool but I assume the S3 will get this in an update. Anyways as it stands now not sure it was worth the upgrade.

I upgraded from the LTE Gear S2. This was a huge upgrade for me in my opinion. I didn't use Samsung Pay on the S2 because it didn't have MST so I'm not really missing anything. I love the battery life of this watch. My old S2 barely made it through a work day. The one thing I miss from the S2 is the Timer app. I used it when cooking. There is no app like it on the Galaxy Watch.
I also would like to see the SmartThings integration with the watch. The Samsung ad shows this, but no app on the watch. I have lots of lights and other items that would be nice to control on the watch. I hope that this will be a new app that gets pushed out with an upgrade.
Overall, I love the new Galaxy Watch.

^this.
I waited to see the new Galaxy Watch with all the rumors about it but once it was announced with a bigger battery at the expense of MST i just bought the S3 Frontier 2 days later for $179 new from Best Buy (had them price match). I was looking at the S3 Frontier for 3 reasons, battery life, MST, and bezel/look. I'm getting 3-4 days on a charge so don't need more battery at the expense of MST and to get this look it's in a smaller form factor so this made no sense to spend $350 over the $179 price
I mean, just look at this video, everything is the same, the gear wearable app looks the same, RAM is the same, the speed/performance is the same. TLDR: If you are a pro swimmer then get the galaxy watch, thats it.

I finally found the app. Not sure why it was showing up when I was searching for the app Timer

fyi, got a firmware update this morning. R800XXU1BRH3 - Improved Samsung Health Experience, Improved device stability.
Now the watch has been released surely there should be a dedicated page for this on XDA? Have I missed it somehow?
Is interest in this watch so small?
Can't wait for the release in the UK.
