Anybody got in on the SGS2 Pre-order Promo?

Was meaning to write about the Samsung Galaxy S2 pre-order promo of Php26,990USD 460INR 38,990EUR 438CNY 3,349 around midnight last night but fell asleep before 7pm due to fatigue and lack of sleep from our Singapore coverage. So I totally missed it when I woke up this morning.

Samsung was doing a limited pre-order promo of the SGS2 starting 12:00 midnight last night until the 30th.

The pre-order price was Php26,990USD 460INR 38,990EUR 438CNY 3,349 plus some additional accessories worth Php3,000USD 51INR 4,334EUR 49CNY 372 more. By 7AM this morning, all 300 units were taken.

I actually did not expect the pre-orders to be out that fast. However, considering the price, I guess some enterprising people would get it and then just sell it later for a nice profit. A Php3k margin for just pre-ordering isn’t bad, eh?

Anybody here got in on the promo?

I was able to reserve for my brother at around 12:20am. No lag in the website experienced. Email for confirmation was sent in an instant.

I hate Globe. They made me wait for their confirmation. Til now, there’s not a single feedback for my preorder. Should have took this promo instead but I was too late.

Pang-press release lang ata promo ng Globe. Parang ayaw nila ibigay yung handset sa preorder promo nila na free @2499. Tinanong ko kung anong team ba naghahandle ng preorder online, di daw nila alam. Wala din daw sila update from the team.

Just wait for the confirmation or call on Monday. Baka may konting delay lang.

Monday? Kung saan nakalabas na ito on almost sll Globe Business Centers? Ngayon pa nga lang meron na available on selected Globe Business Centers. Alam ba nila yung concept ng “preorder”? Tapos sana naman marunong silang mag-update, hindi yung pinapahintay na nga yung customer, wala pang ka-update update.

Sa inis ko, I preoerdered for HTC Sensation on Smart here:

http://smart.com.ph/htc1/

Atleast dito malinaw at naka-indicate yung release date at kung san makukuha once approved. Hindi tulad sa Globe na parang iniiwan ka sa ere o sa dilim, at di mo alam kung makakakuha ka nga ng unit o hindi. Matatapos na rin contract ko sa Globe kaya bahala na.

So 300 lucky people were fooled by Samsung? 300 more people will brag about their new phones. Common guys think smartly. You won’t need these kind of phones in the Philippines. First, wireless networks are still duh! Second, the robbers are just behind your back.

Really? I believe smart people do not tell anyone that they are smart, they just prove it.

Did I say I am smart? I said “I believe I am smarter than you RJ.”. right? Believe it or not :)

Sorry ah, you are too perfect. Thank you for correcting me. It should have been “Come on!” and “think smart”.

why do you need to read some blog’s like this even though your’e against on it.

I think those people who are really interested in SGS2, will read this Topic, right?

I’m just wanted to say. If you don’t want it, just keep it to your self. :), you don’t need to grab others.

Dapat nga hindi ka na nag Co-comment sa ganitong topic TAMA? kasi nga Ayaw mo :) :) :)
Tama naman diba:) AGreeeeee!

Just so you know, I’ve been using this phone for almost 3 months now, and I still haven’t experienced any technical difficulty with regards to SGS2. Matter fact, I’m still amazed by its performance. I’m pretty sure I wasn’t fooled. :)
