[Q] Samsung Galaxy S i9000 in US?

Hi, I'm sorry if this question doesn't belong here, I can't find the marketplace, maybe because I'm a newbie I've the following question, is Samsung Galaxy S i9000 available in US? I'm not talking about the US versions of Galaxy S, I'd like to buy the International version. Can you recommend me reliable online or retail store? I'm currently near Atlantic City, soon to go to NY, so I need your advice fast.Where can I get the phone without any plan, unlocked? As I'll be soon going to Europe and I really would like to buy the phone from the US. Please, no spam, I really need the advice on this one, ASAP. Thanks.

Anyone...?

[Q] Planning to buy GTab 7 Plus - Need Advice

Hi everyone. As the heading states, I am planning to buy the GTab 7 Plus in India for my dad. Now, here is my concern:
In India, the same tab is marketed as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 620. It still has the 1.2 GHz Exynos Processor, 1024X600 resolution screen & includes Voice calling features. I have searched all over the net & couldn't find if there are any differences compared to the GTab 7 Plus which is available internationally. So, in this case, is it only the change in name for marketing purposes or is there some other variation also? Basically, I want to understand if I can use all the ROMs available here on XDA with the tab available in India?
If anyone has any info on this I would really appreciate it. Thanks in Advance!

But I thought the tab was for your dad? Kidding...
Take a look in the development subforum just to be sure but as far as I know there are no custom ROMs for the Plus yet.

Hi im from Philippines. My advice is do not buy Galaxy Tab 7 plus... why? Because Gtab 7 plus is not super amoled. You just wait for Gtab 7.7 that is a amoled LCD...

I already bought GTab 7 plus for my mom. I pissed off when i read about the specs and it is not amoled LCD.

Yes, I am fully aware that it is not super amoled. The point is that my dad is getting a limited time offer from his workplace for a 60% discount on any phone purchase. But since he already has a phone which he is content with, he wanted a tablet to use as an ereader. This is the only well speced tab which has phone calling capabilites & is available for purchase here at the moment.
Anyways, I have gone ahead with the purchase & dad is happy with the device. Thanks for all your inputs.

Guys, I don't know about price for Tab 7.7 in your country, but in Russia I got my Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus for $468 and price for 7.7 starting at $780. So I don't want pay twice more for super amoled screen and 0.2ghz difference

I am also looking to buy a galaxy tab 7 plus and am undecided which version to buy. I live in the united states and I could just get the p6210 wifi only version, but I am not sure if I will need 3g. I don't want to buy the wifi only then find myself often wanting to use the wireless features when I have no wifi. From my understanding i can use the GPS no matter which version I have so that's at least a plus no matter which way I go.
If I end up buying a 3g version which would people recommend the international unlocked one, the t-mobile un-subsidised, or the t-mobile contracted one.
For people who live in the US and actually got the international one, which cell phone company are you using with it and are you able to get a cellphone plan and use it as a huge cellphone.
People with the t-mobile version have you been able to unlock the subsidised version and/or use the unlocked version as a cellphone? Either with a t-mobile prepaid plan or another company that uses the same frequency.
From what I have read it seems like the international one would have to be used with at&t and t-mobile version is only usable with t-mobile in the US atleast.

In Thailand has 2 version
P6200 (for 3G 900MHz)
P6200L (for 3G 850MHz)

I have the 6210, I'm fine with wifi only because 1) I'm not paying for yet another data plan, and 2) tethering your phone to the tab works great, assuming you have a smartphone.

You should buy GT-7 plus, Super amoled is not very importand for your Dad.

I second that. In addition, the extra screen resolution and slight bump in processor speed are not worth the extra money IMO. Good Luck with your purchase!

I think you should go on and get it. Sure, it lacks Super amoled screen, but I find that people that randomly see my tablet have no problem with my screen.
In fact they say the screen is pretty awesome. In fact, the only real people who seem to notice the screen are fellow tech people.

[Q] Unlocking US iphone 5 or Samsung Galaxy II for Europe: possible?

Hello all,
a Greek friend will be staying some months in US. He can get at a good price either an iphone 5 or a Samsung Galaxy S II. This, with a contract of course, Verizon/T-Mobile/AT&T-something.
My pal was asking whether he could get a phone that could be unlocked for usage in Greece, so he can continue using the phone when back. Is it possible for either of these phones? Caveats?
Sorry for not taking the time to plunge into the forum to read, this question was in a hurry.

if you want to use a us carrier phone unlocked, then you have to pay for a termination fee, so it not recommended.
Because the such phone are usually cdma, they are not compatible with gsm so it would be pretty useless to buy a gs2 or a ip5 with a us carrier.
So to answer your question?
not really
Click thanks if helped

Moto G5 plus question.

Hello I'm new to this forum. Nice to meet everyone. Please forgive me if I posted this in the wrong section, if I did please feel free to move this thread. My question is, I currently have a Samsung galaxy S6 on Sprint. I'm looking for another phone, my galaxy s6 battery is not lasting very long any more, 4 hours if I'm lucky, I'm not a heavy user at all, and the touch screen is starting to go as well. I have been looking at the moto G5 plus, and it looks like a good phone. Is it as good or better than the S6 that I currently own? Is there any other phones that you guys would recommend other than the G5 that I can buy outright at a similar price on the sprint network? I don't want to do a contract anymore. What attracted me to the G5 is that I can buy it outright for only $229.00 and that I can use it on the sprint network, most unlocked phones only work on GSM networks. I heard that the Moto G5 plus doesn't have a compass, does the GPS on it still work Ok? Thanks for all the help.

Good smartphone with 6.7 or 6.8 screen under $350?

Hi there,
I've been using my Note 8 for a few years now, but I feel I need a bigger screen.
I don't want to spend too much money, I don't use the phone to take pictures, I have my professional camera for that, nor for gaming as I use my Switch.
So, I'm looking for a good phone, with bigger screen.
I'm considering the Moto G for $299 or the Galaxy A71 for $149, though I'm confused because there's also this Galaxy A71 for $469. If the difference between the two Galaxy is only the unlocked feature, than I should be ok with the $149 as I'm on T-Mobile.
Anyway, are those two phones good? Is there a clear winner between the two? Is there a better option?
Thanks for any help!

Unfortunately no, can't buy Xiaomi in the U.S.
So Moto G! I thought it was a good phone, what was holding me back is that on a few YT reviews it seemed that Samsung is a little better in terms of speed, and screen quality.
Thanks for chiming in!
Edit: I could stretch the budget to $400, maybe Moto 5G could be a better option?

Could you tag the phones again with gsmarena? Either the links don't work as intended for me or I am getting redirected from the US website.

AFAIK you can buy XIAOMI phones in the US from here:
Xiaomi USA | Xiaomi Store USA | Xiaomi Mobile Phones USA
Xiaomi USA - Best Budget Phone is Authorized USA Xiaomi store offers new arrivals and the best selling Xiaomi mobile phones USA online at lowest price.
