[Q] Want To Buy A Galaxy Tab! Doesn't know where to buy!

I want to buy a 7 inch Samsung galaxy tab. I'll use it in other countries where I will use GSM sims. But I'll buy it from USA.
Can anyone suggest me which Galaxy Tab should I've to buy? (I don't know much about P1000, P1010, P1000T etc etc)
Previously I thought I could use GSM sims on wifi version of Galaxy Tab. But just figured it out that no gsm sims will have support for Galaxy Tab Wifi only.
I want to buy it at a cheaper rate. (like $250-$350) Where can I find this galaxy tab at the cheaper rate & which version should I buy? Any ebay links or product links where I can buy would greatly appreciated.
Besides, I'll use it on Bangladesh thats why it needs to be unlocked. So Suggest me those models which can be unlocked with no problems & I can use GSM sims on it.
Thanks!

I would buy the at&t tab as it has the hardware that has more compatibility. To get it in your price range, go to att.com, and buy a refurbished tab for ~ $300. Thats what I did three times. Good luck!

What means Refurbished? & Will I have to sign any contract with AT&T? If yes how more it'll cost? I'm mentioning that I won't use it on USA.

Refurbished means the unit was returned to AT&T and has been checked and returned to factory state. May even have been put in new box.
That $300 Tab is buy outright price. You won't be on an AT&T plan, unless you decide to sign up....

Thats Nice... Any Other Reccomendations?

No, thats about it. Good luck. Enjoy. It's an adventure!

[Q] Galaxy Note from China, can I buy it ?????

Hello every one
I am a french citizen living in China for one year
I am dreaming to buy a Galaxy Note, but I can buy it only in China, is someone can tell me if it will work properly when I will come back to France ?
If not is there a possibility to change the system at this moment?
Sorry but I am a novice in this matter
Thank you in advance for your help

Yes as long as you buy the GSM version. Not sure if there is some CDMA weird version for the Chinese market.

Agreed, look for the GSM bandwidths, I think the EU's on 900 and 1800.

Thank you very much for your help. i have a similar question

where are you folks planning to buy?
hey, I'm an American in Shanghai - I've been planning on buying one as well, but it seems the only choices are
a) buy a "brand-new" model, grey-market European version, 50% chance it's a refurb, but can offer local store warranty for ~3280rmb ($520 USD), or
b) buy an official, brand-new one for 4100rmb ($650 USD)
I almost pulled the trigger on the grey-market one, but it just kills me to know that I can get a brand-new NON-refurb for $500 USD through Newegg in the US... arrgh.

I bought mine on taobao from Shenzhen, 1 day shipping. I think that is safer than buyer from a store in shanghai, as the taobao sellers are selling loads of these phones.
Mine had been opened and made chinese even it is a european version. they changed some settings so you'll default to chinese language after a wipe/upgrade, and the samsung keyboard didn't work when I first good it. But after reinstalling european firmware everything is good.
I would stay away from official version because of price and I'm also not sure if all google services work on those.

Please post all questions in the Q&A section​

Be careful - there are now clones:

yeah - the quote I had for ~3300 was from a taobao seller with a brick 'n mortar store. At least there's somewhere to go if the thing is borked. The "warranty" is through the store and not samsung, but at least they know where (taobao!) to source screens/mobo and claim to give 2 years replacement service should anything go wrong. still might pull the trigger on it... unless one of my friends goes back to the states in the next couple of weeks.
Did your seller offer any kind of warranty?

Is the UK Z3C same as Indian Z3C?

I live in India and am planning to buy Z3C from UK as the prices there (Handtec or Clove) are at least INR 10,000 less than what I have to pay for it in India where it is priced at a ridiculous INR 45K. The Z1C is available for around INR 15K less than Z3C now in India and I'm wondering if this 15K difference is even worth it? Anyways, my friend who is coming from UK can buy it for me. Even if Sony India do not honor the warranty on it I think 10000 price difference justify my risk. I also see that Handtec gives 24 months warranty on it while I get only one year warranty in India.
My question is does the UK version that Handtec sell has LTE 4G and will that work in India? Is this exactly the same device as sold in India?
Thanks,

They are different. UK models are D5803, while Indian model is D5833. D5833 is the only model that has "2300 TD-LTE", which is used in India.

But, if I dont need the LTE 4G in India, I should be fine right? I mean will it have any effect on 3G connectivity in India? A such 4G LTE coverage is very limited in India and I live in a place where I dont expect to get LTE 4G any time soon.

Hey, I'm also from India and interested in buying the Z3C from Clove. Can you let me know how it goes? If everything works fine with our Indian networks.
About the warrany I sent an email to Clove and they said it's only valid in Europe. So that might be a problem but for INR 10,000 cheaper it's certianly worth it.
Thanks, hope you get the device and everything works perfectly. Please let me how it works out for you :good:

Please dont count on me on this. I'm still debating whether to purchase from outside and if so, from UK or US. I have decided that even if I am purchasing it will be the D5833 model, the one sold in India. It is available in US. It will be at least a month or two before I get these though. I am waiting for the prices to drop further. Meanwhile my three year old GS-II is still rocking.

BTW, I took the plunge finally. My friend purchased it for me in USA for US$ 515 from the Ebay seller never-msrp who is well reputed. That works out to about INR 31000. I bought the D5833, the model sony is selling in India. It will be at least 3 weeks before I get it though

Where to buy S2 8.0 in Japan?

I really want to buy this device, preferably the Wifi T713 version.
I'm currently in Bangkok but they only sell the LTE version here and it's still comparatively quite expensive (~$420 USD before tax). Not sure why? In Singapore for example it's $290 USD (Wifi) and $340 USD (LTE) before tax.
I'll be heading to Japan soon so was thinking maybe I could purchase it there but having done some research it seems Samsung devices aren't really sold there in the stores except some newer devices rebranded by the telcos.
Does anybody have experience buying Samsung products in Japan (Osaka specifically)? Other option is to import from Amazon or Expansys but then I would have to pay tax and run the risk of getting a defective unit.
Thanks
