Galaxy S2 selling for Php38k in Greenhills

Any word on the exact release date? Thanks

and you need NFC for? /inb4 korea is the only country that extensively uses, i mean needs, NFC for payment.

Why pay for 37k? If one can be a little patient enough to wait, the Samsung Galaxy S II will be sold by Globe at 30k.

Most probably, mid of June.

Hard to believe your info is accurate and objective. You have a lot to lose if the Galaxy S II really sells for 29990.

I know someone from Samsung and they’re really fighting to price it at 29990 because they know they have to compete with the Optimus 2X price.

As for the back log, that’s non existent. There was a back log in mid May, but now all orders are being filled with no back log to speak of.

@markaznar Shut it dude. No one likes douchebags like you.

By the way, it’s reGARDing and not reGRADing.
You’re from St. Francis, Shangrila Place? Really?

we are not that stupid to believe u dude!!!

A bit disappointed on the exclusivity deal. I won’t jump ship to get the phone so malamang wait mode na nga lang. And I really thought Samsung can move this unit without relying on carriers. Oh well, business is business. :(

Think of the LG Optimus 2x as a key template which pave way to the Dual Core Era :), so Trying-hard is an Understatement :P

the 32GB unit hasn’t been released anywhere, so that’s a pretty low probability. good thing it supports microSD though!

I’ve always been a firm believer of the line “there are no stupid questions just stupid answers,” you just made me believe otherwise.
Don’t get me wrong, for a mobile phones it’s amazing, but comparing it to a full pledged computer and an icore with “pew pew” graphics at that, even at laptop level, it’s a blasphemy to even ask such an extremely stupid question.
Answer: no comparison, like comparing hell and heaven

whatever dude

Sold the last one an hour ago. If you can’t afford it dont buy it, nobody’s forcing you. Again, this is a luxury item for the peeps who can afford. If you can’t afford it, shut up and buy something cheap

Elitista ka talaga.

It’s not about affordability. It’s about people like you who try to fool other people into buying something at an insane markup.

On top of that, you LIE to people that it’ll be priced at 33 thousand to make them accept your insane markup, when Samsung Philippines already said they’re pricing it at P29,990.

Congratulations on selling your units. You just took advantage of people who didn’t know better (I’m guessing you didn’t tell them about samsung’s statement on pricing it at 29,990).

Nobody likes douchebags.

Buti na lang din pala nabenta mo. May babayaran ka pang 20k haha

@markaznan
Your words:

“Regrading the price it will be 32k upwards and not 30k”

That looks like a lie.

i dont think so u talk to me like a pinoy . the accent bullshit like a half pinoy half india. u didnt know where i am from im pure american living this country… ur proud of shit of urself

“Your funny”? His funny? lol. For someone whose first language is english, you’re not too good. Anyway, I’m not here to pick a fight with a troll. I just want to advise the other people to stop replying to you. You’re just pissing people off.

Using an iPad, auto correction hates me.
One more thing, the battery life ain’t that good, I find the atrix bat still better, well yeah it has more mah but still.
Also, I find touchwiz 4 better than sense3, too much eye candy 3d on sense 3, pretty girlish.

Well 30min ago, client calls me and reserves it, a sure buyer for the next day, I tell him I don’t do reservations and continue, if someone else comes by first, he gets it, he agreed and i considered it sold since he was a sure buyer. A couple of minutes later another dude texted me and tells me he wants to get the unit, and I go, unit already reserved by another client, however, I dont do reservations, if you swing by first its yours. The next day, the original dude who reserved it picked it up 5pm. I even told the second guy about it so as for him not o waste his time coming to my place.
I hate being called a liar you asshole, and how dare you even call me one?
I bet your the same dude texting me, trying to convince me to sell it at 35k. Jesus man, get a life. I won’t even insult you, your honestly not worth the insult.
Peace out loser =)
ps: check out the rumored Samsung Hercules (tmobile), looks delicious

Hi Gwen,
Your asking if there is a sim card slot in the sgs2? Yes there is a sim card slot, and will work on all three local telecom providers in the Philippines, provided it is an unlocked unit you have.
Ps. Currently only the Korean models wont work in the Philippines due to one being CDMA and the other two have different bands. You may purchase the sgs2 wherever, some may be carrier locked, however I’m sure these can be easily remedied via software unlocking tools in the future. But to be safe I suggest just getting a factory unlocked unit, which is sold locally in the gray market, in hongkong, uk, and in other european countries as well, I got my units in Romania. Or, wait for the globe locked sgs2, However, if your not a globe subscriber you may also opt to wait for Samsung Philippines to release an unlocked sgs2 in the future. I recon a few months after globes exclusivity, it will be sold unlocked at Samsung retail stores nationwide.
Hope I answered your question.

Depends, if you got the CDMA version, the one sold by lg telecom which does not have simcard, you are screwed because it will not work. However, if you got the the gsm version provided by the other twi telecoms in Korea, it will work, however it would need to be unlocked first. Bad news is, even if you get it unlocked you won’t be able to use it’s 3G speed, even worst it’s 4G speed (max 21 Mbps) won’t be available as well. Globe telecom has started rolling out 4G, it’s sad that your uber phone won’t be able to take advantage of it, given it’s one of it’s selling point. And lastly given that phone is the gsm version, you will be sporting a different firmware since your phone will have NFC built in it’s hardware, and will certainly cause incompatibility issues in the future.
With the hassle of having it unlocked and not being able to use 3G/4G, I suggest selling it and getting a gsm world sgs2 version.
I feel for you, sorry.

Last minute desperate gayish move.
Hey mark, i bought 1 from my favorite store in greenhills for 36k.
I ignored the polish manual printed in korea.
But when i tried the phone its also in polish i think, but fortunately fixed it to english. One thing i noticed was the heat at the upper part of the lcd and camera it only cools down when i put it to auto bright.

Hey mark im deffending you from the first sucker who posted your a douchebag.

Someone is selling a silicon case from tipidcp for almost 400 pesos
I bought mine for 130 only from a small booth wich i ddnt expect theyve got one. Lol
I bought it from the market market.

simple answer:
If you get it from GLOBE TELECOM, then it will be carrier locked to globe.

Long answer:
You may still use a different simcard, however it will not work due to the phone being carrier locked to a specific carrier (globe). However, this can be fixed by unlocking the phone, I am not sure if hackers already have access to such for this specific model but rest assured eventually it shall be unlocked.
Also,in the US, if you get it from say AT@T under a plan (even under prepaid), and ask them to unlock it because say you need ro use the phone with another simcard since you will be traveling outside the united states, normally they would give you an unlock code to unlock your phone.
Again, however if the phone is extremely new, they will tell you that unlocking will only be available after a number of months (which is a lie, because units have a code already it’s just that AT@T is still unwilling to unlock it perhaps due to exclusivity issues), as what happened with my Motorola Atrix.

Suggestion:
Just get a factory unlocked unit and save yourself the headache.

There are unlock instructions here:

I haven’t done this myself because I got my Galaxy SII carrier unlocked, but XDA is a trusted hack website. Good luck!

Ahhh thats a problem. CDMA won’t work here. In fact I saw some cellphone vendors selling CDMA phones for 9k (it was the HTC EVO 4G; should fetch around 24k) because it can’t be used here in the Philippines.

Try selling it back in korea if you can.
