Guys,
I am in the process of buying the SGN II - the best smartphone available these days, now I am in sort of limbo.
- The Titanium Grey Devices have a distinct gap which gathers dust around the screen, I noticed on approx 10 devices at different stores.
- I read on several blogs that the White device / body of samsung SGN II would turn yellow in about 3 months or so...!!
I am really confused now, I am even thinking if i should get the SGN II or not coz it's going to cost me 36K INR (approx. 654 USD).
Can someone please help me decide ??
Just the grey version gathers dust? Or the white as well, but you can't notice it?

I dont think this is true. I have the white one now going on 2 months now and its fine. If you look close at the White one you will notice that the white is actually not exposed at all. The white is actually coverd under a clear coat which gives it the shine that it has and the pebble smooth touch. So I would not give a penny to what or who ever you heard that from. Now on the back you have the battery door which is exposed and does not have the glass finish over it unlike the front of the phone. I have done this to get the best of both worlds. I have bought a carbon fiber/ Metal case that replaces the battery door on the phone and yes it has NFC built in the case. Does not really affect the signal for me as it replaces the door of the phone not just covers the phone completely and the OEM battery door. You whould check out this Ebay link to the case that I think will help you make up your mind.
Here http://www.ebay.com/itm/121005928205?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Remember If I have helped you in anyway to hit the thanks button for me and also if you have anymore questions please ask.

Unfortatly I just received this cover today and had not tested the NFC located on the back cover. I just now tested it to try and beam pictures from my Galaxy Nexus over to my note 2. With the OEM battery case on the beam works fine but with this one I listed above when I put the case on the beam does not work T.T sorry for the mis information on the case. Looks like its back to using bluetooth which for me NFC is not a deal breaker since I have a international Note 2 so Google Wallet does not work anyways also I perfer blue to to NFC for only when I move pictures from time to time. Again sorry everyone
FAKE NFC

Guys, thanks a lot for your responses, I have bought a White SGN II and loving it. I bought a original Samsung back cover with front flap and it fits like a charm.....3 days with my SGN II and I am loving it. :good:
I think no, its made of plastic

And yet it does. Sure it depends if you smoke, but the backcovers lowest section will change to yellow after a while.
I also noticed that my note 2 at times has yellowish hue but it could just as well be the interior lighting.

Yellow?! maybe it's just the moisture/sweat/grease off the hand, and over a length of time it builds up and stains the phone. Try cleaning it with some perfume that has ethanol in it. Makes your phone look brand new! and it has the feel of a new phone + smells nice. (but dont use too much of course - just a dab on a piece of cloth should do the trick.)

The White Galaxy Nexus is now available on NegriElectronics for a cool $651.50. I'm personally still waiting for a stateside release for the warranty, but here's a video of the unboxing of a white one I found.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdb-QTx_jjI
UPDATE: Much better video now on Engadget, here's the link: http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/13/white-galaxy-nexus-hands-on-a-taste-of-vanilla-flavored-ice-cre/
Worth it? For the price, you can get the CAN Version with the extended battery and cover...
EDIT: Woohoo! This thread was featured on Droid-Life : http://www.droid-life.com/2012/02/13/video-white-galaxy-nexus-gets-brief-unboxing/#more-61225
Only you can decide if its worth it. Its $52 more than the grey version from Negri. That's the price of an extended battery + cover.
Also, there are already many threads on this lol.
No audio. It's the same phone, just different colors.
hard to tell but it looks like it has a smooth cover instead of textured. Might make it easier for those who want to put back protection on it like a zagg.
Wish they made the front white too.

thats what I thought at first too, but when you consider that the UI is very dark and the top/bottom bars are completely black, it plays better with a black bezel as you can't really tell where the UI starts and the bezel ends.
Completely agree . I like white in front too bit in the end it does end up looking better cause of the ui.

I actually think the black-grey-white combo could look nice.
Looks pretty nice. Really wish they'd make a 32GB GSM version though.
I liked they put a North Americian power charger in there. Gah, I hate my Euro charger with the adapter, such a PITA it comes unplugged all the time.
I will be ALL over this once CDMA drops.

Well I'd imagine they will offer the white battery door cover as well. They currently have this combo available for the standard GSM Nexus for $36:

This seems like a much simpler alternative to what I was originally going to do. Can't wait to see if it shows up there.
Updated with new video (much better thankfully).

Seems to fit perfectly with what SamMobile is claiming to be the GSIII.
http://www.sammobile.com/2012/05/01/this-is-the-galaxy-siii/
I am so ready for the 3rd!
It seems likely that Samsung is going to launch 2 devices on the 3rd: GSIII with the physical butttons and shaped like GNex (which this screen protector basically confirms), and the i9800 which is the device leaked without physical buttons.

The bottom cutout makes it look like there will be a physical button. :O! Yet it seems to be placed way too far down.
What do you think?
Sorry if this is a double post. Looked around for ten minutes and couldn't find anyone talking about it.

Samsung confirmed the presence of a home button a few weeks back, plus the leaked pics of the S3 already confirm the shape and placement of the home button.

The i9300 doesn't appear to be the S3, as confirmed by the low screen resolution here. I would say the original prediction of Galaxy M i9300 is correct, with the S3 being i9500 and the third device being the N8000 Note 10.1. i9800 seems to have disappeared completely from the equation, replaced by N8000.

Rdf's aren't very reliable. I feel they are just copy and pasted from past models.

The two devices announced will probably be the Galaxy M and the Galaxy SIII.
Hmm...

could be for? I mean, what could be at that position?

This is NOT a case for those who want the best protection possible. I am someone who has always gone naked on all previous phones but after my Galaxy s2 took several spills and I had to sell it for less, I finally decided I should have something. I took a chance on this because it was 5 dollars and free shipping.
I bought black and grey and I love it! It doesn't protect the top and bottom as many slim cases don't but this is a great case if you are debating going without one. I prefer the grey as in the link below since I have the Blue GS3 and it's also semi transparent so you can still see the Sprint Logo and the Galaxy S III one. The black looks good as well.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Grey-Smoke-...ccessories&hash=item3a759bf29d#ht_1999wt_1198
Granted I'm in Los Angeles, but only took two days to get here on free shipping. The lip does come up just in the slightest so it's perfect for me. The pictures of the case on the phone are taken with a old, old phone, sorry about that. No other camera.

Looked pretty poor. Going to charge up an old Samsung non smart phone I have, see if i can take pictures with that and pull it off.
Moved pictures up. Will try and get better ones with the case on it.
Ok so I got this case off eBay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayI...ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:AU:3160#ht_2990wt_754 and she just arrived today. I previously owned a tab 8.9 and had an official Samsung case for it, and this one is of exact build quality, obviously though this one has the spen and ir sensor exposed with the lid closed. It also has a small amount of magnetism where it locks close. If anyone wants some better pics let me know and I'll take some with a dslr.
Made my day, $16AUD and now my tabs not naked!

I have the same one. Bought from ebay aswell not same seller mine was $13USD , there is another seller as i was searching that had those as well but in green, pink, white blue and black.
Got the black myself.
sidenote. the case in the first post has a "silk" like front cover that scratches by virtually anything.
Nice, OP. I was thinking of getting one for my Note, but I didn't really like the stand. I prefer one that's a bit more stable, I guess.
I have it in white. Very very good case!

Well, it was actually a demo unit in my local 'Carphone Warehouse' but OMG!!!
Trust me folks, however many pictures of the Note 10+ that you've seen, nothing prepares you for the sheer beauty of this device, absolutely stunning even sans the punchole.
I managed to persuade the sales agent to show me the back of the 'Aura Glow' model and I swear I saw an angel smiling at me through the shards of heavenly coloured lights that seemed to reach into my soul.
Anybody that covers up the back of this phone with a non clear case, should be branded as a heretic and stoned with 'iPhones'.
I'm mustering every ounce of self discipline to stop myself from running back into the shop and liberating every Note 10+ in stock, but I have my family and goldfish to think of, so roll on Friday.
You are wasted on these forums. Might have to take a trip to CPW myself, armed with sunglasses.

I'll probably regret getting Aura Blue instead of Aura Glow but I figured everyone would get the Aura Glow so I wanted to be different. The videos I have seen of the Glow are amazing. The blue does look pretty amazing to though.

I saw the black, blue, and glow at Best Buy on display. Glow is more muted in person than it is in videos. It's the color I went with, just because it was so different than any of my previous phones. My last two Notes were blue.
But. I will say the Aura Blue is gorgeous. It's not just a flat blue like the Note 9 or even the glossy blue of the Deep Sea Blue Note 8. It color shifts just a tad from dark blue to Royal Blue depending on the light.

The black is anything but plain black. It's almost a charcoal in some light. It's a very good looking phone. It almost had me wishing I had stuck with the 512GB instead of opting for the 256 to get the glow. But I've had a few black phones before, and glow is so different.

For me, bulky cases hide the original design of the phone too much, which sort of defeats one of the factors that made me buy it in the first instance.
It's like buying a Lamborghini and then covering it with thick armour plating because you're afraid of scratching the paintwork.

To each their own. I dont purchase technology for the looks, I purchase it for the performance and what it can actually do. Sure I purchased the Aura Glow version and I'd like to show it off with a see through case, but its the big beautiful screen and camera performance that matters most to me.

Thanks for your opinion.
Doesn't sans mean without?
I originally went with Aura Glow then decided on black since I will be putting a skin on it anyways. I always hated how the blue accents limited my skin choices on my note 9. Even though I loved the color itself.
Too bad they don't have the Aurora glow in 512gb version so I got the black one because that's the only one with that size storage. I find it kind of lame that they did that. But oh well I'm getting a rugged case anyways because I don't want it to break like my note 8 lol. I also find it dumb that they are going to release the 5G versión for TMobile later on ?*
I always get black phones. There is something about shiny or light colored phones.
It's the camera. I use my phone a lot at live music gigs with all the lights and stuff going on.
I always have it in a case anyways.
I agree, the "glow" is like a big diffraction grating spewing rainbow colors like a big bag of skittles just exploded. Like an air hockey table, it's a novelty that wears off fast.
If you see the glow, you know the phone has "only" 256GB of storage so there's that.
I was hesitating to pre-order until I saw the demos at best buy the day after the announcement. Went with the unlocked aurora blue trading in my wifes s8+ and getting the 200 dollar credit on the galaxy watch. Watch is coming today and phone tomorrow, can't wait.
I decided to go with black 256gb 5G, 512gb in 5G isn't available in UK through Samsung.com. Just checked tracking info, it says delivery is due tomorrow (Thursday) was expecting Friday so can't sleep anymore now.

I'll probably regret getting Aura Blue instead of Aura Glow but I figured everyone would get the Aura Glow so I wanted to be different. The videos I have seen of the Glow are amazing. The blue does look pretty amazing to though.
