    Samsung

    Hi there,
    does anyone know of a reliable source where I can buy a REAL Samsung phone or tablet?

    I am thinking of the Samsung Note 10.1 - (It is a present for someone) but I am not sure if it is going to be too big. My other choices would be the Note 2 - 7.1 or the Samsung SIII phone. I would be really greatfull if anyone could point out a few pros and cons for these devices! I know Samsung usually are a bit low on RAM and Memory and usually need you to buy an add on card, but what would you guys recommend for a good hi tech product as a christmas present - I already have the Non Doctor - so no silly comments please and yes my phone has vibrate, I want to buy someone special something special for Christmas - but I still believe in value for money.

    Thanks!

    I almost forgot - can anyone tell me why I keep getting a Blue Screen with my new Windows 8 - Bad Pool Header - LOL - I don't have a pool only a shower!

    Find out if they have a decent phone already, if not get the S3

    As for the 7 in tab2, they are 5000 baht cheaper to buy in the UK due to them not having the stupid sim card slot.

    All ive had is trouble with Samsung products to be honest,2 tabs and a mobile, and im boycotting them, but if you were offering me, i would opt for the S3 without any doubt

    Thanks! I heard so many conflicting reports about the Samsung stuff! My Brother told me not to touch it, but others told me it was the best thing since sliced Obama! Confused - I am thinking of the S3, we used the S2 in England during a trip over there and it was quite nice - the 10.1 is lovely to sit at home with , but I think it is probably too big to carry around.

    The other suggestion was the Nexus - my brother (who may I say is a total GAY when it comes to this sort of thing) recommended the Nexus phone for about 200 British Pounds - which I expect is about 11000 Baht - he says the screen is really good, but who knows?

    I bought a Galaxy S plus in January,at Robinsons,Airport Plaza,Chiang Mai.
    It cost 14,900 Baht(£317 at Jan rate),less 7% VAT,which you can claim back,when your leaving Thailand.
    In the Uk at that time,only Vodaphone were doing this phone unlocked,at £440.
    As it happens,the phone was pickpocketed from me,last weekend,in Barcelona.
    So,I`m now looking to buy the Galaxy 3...just not sure whether to get it in UK or LOS.
    Anyone know the price for a Galxy 3 in Thailand?

    Good question! There are loads of places here advertising the Samsung phones and Pads, until you want to buy one, then they all come out with the same answer - the distributors haven't sent them!

    Why advertise what you don't have available - are these people so really ingrained stupid?

    Actually, just for a laugh I bought one of the Thai really really crap phones just for a giggle- It is a Glive 300, it has 3G, photo/camera/ Bluetooth / loads of add ons - 930 Baht from 7/11 - it really doesn't matter if I flush it down the toilet - I spend more on a few drinks in one night than that entire package costs - plus, it has earphones - stereo - usb cables with mini USB that cost about 250 Baht at a PC shop......sadly it just doesn't vibrate! LOL! I can use one of the USB cables as a charger cable for my PS3 - the headphones have the same connection - Mini USB-USB - this phone is a bargain for the cables alone - you can keep the connectors and flush the phone!

    My ex BF bought this really expensive Nokia a few years back - 3G enabled - IDIOT paid nearly 8000 Baht for it, by the time 3G came out it was obsolete Mug!

    Well, about time I got my make up on, I am off to that nightclub on Mahidol Road tonite, anyone popping down for a drink or two? Some creepy Thai guy asked me out and gave me a few free tickets for free drinks, someone told me it is a bit of a slut place, near Niyom Panich, does anyone know it?

    I normally go to Boys Blues Bar near the Ka Lae night Bazaar, Chang Klan Road.
    Great live music.

    In regards to the Samsung phone, my brother bought one last month, and a mate bought one yesterday from Airport Plaza, 3rd floor (same floor that the Kasikorn Bank is on) They have heaps of mobile phone shops there.

    21500 is what I have been quoted here, but when you try to order it isn't in stock!

    From what my brother in the UK tells me, the days of cheap electronics out in Thailand are well and truly over!

    Some of the prices in the UK are way better than what we get over here unless it is some cheapo nasty Thai or Chinese shit that no-one wants anyway.

    I have tried a few online dealers for the Samsung bits (I want a Samsung SSD x 240) they all advertise the products here until you want to buy them - then it is a case of "Waiting for supplier"

    If anyone knows where I can get the Samsung 830 x 240GB that is real, I'll buy them a drink! also, I am after a Wacom touch - medium tablet (normally about 15000 Baht) again, I need genuine - I do a lot of photo editing. The pads and tablets, well thanks everyone, I probably have enough to go on now - my major worry is getting fake crap! Like a Genius tablet hidden in a Wacom case.

    I find Robinsons to be really expensive unless you hit on one of their SALE days, where sometimes they discount by 75% - However, I doubt an S3 will be in their forthcoming sale.

    Actually, I don't think I'll bother posting in this forum again, I asked a few simple questions and in my private messages I get responses like "FUK OFF" from people like Exige, and a few others.

    Anyway, thank you for your reply, I am not into infantile retards with shrunken shrivelled penises that have nothing better to do than masturbate over their own self importance!

    You can see why no decent woman would stay with them. They probably sit all day in front of their computer screens playing with themselves while their wives have to lie in bed with a plastic cock!

    Stupid men! They would rather masturbate over something on the internet when their wives / girlfriends are crying out for the real thing - idiots.

    Try Bossy! Mahidol just near the Toyota place, wild! and thank you for a sensible reply. (There are some really nice Thai guys and girls there - not all money grabbing shits) - I know the owner - he is a nut case - everyday I see him he has new dents in his car - how he gets home of an evening? he lives near me, about 50 km from Bossy - drinks Lao Kao in the morning too!

    You should PM a poster called Smeg for the lowdown on the S3.
    He got the phone a couple of weeks before launch.


    All the best to you Smegbrookes.

    I bought the Note 10.1, it is amazing - cost me 21,900, but I suppose it is worth it looking at the features. I almost changed course completely and almost bought the Acer 14" Aspire,V3-471G, but my heart was set on a tablet.

    Do you guys ever have those party nights like they do on Thai Visa? just wondering as I received an invite from this guy "George" to a party in Bangkok, is it real or is it like full of pervs? Apparently, you pay some sort of cover charge and you can drink pretty much what you like all night.

    Worth picking up an Air Asia ticket just for the party eh?

    Jesus, Troll Me A River!\

    What is it with you blokes where you cannot reply to a woman / female, without some sort of hang up? are you all a bunch of cockless wonders or what?
    Jesus, I hung around with some blokes I thought were wankers when I was in my teens, but you fuckers take the biscuit! Circle Jerk Brigade!

    I have travelled half the world with the most horrible fucking Aussies you could imagine, but I have never come across a bunch of Cock Wimps like you blokes - you must be fucking English! Jesus.
