Anybody got in on the SGS2 Pre-order Promo?

Was meaning to write about the Samsung Galaxy S2 pre-order promo of Php26,990 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 Php26,990 plus some additional accessories worth Php3,000 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?

    Globe already delivered my SGS2 handset yesterday.
    Weird though that some folks are complaining about the way the process was handled. Globe’s online team that handled my order followed up with me consistently last week by phone calls and I receive a phone call last Wednesday to inform me that somebody will be arriving to deliver my handset between 10a-5pm but they actually came 9am yesterday…
    Right now I’m happy with it.. and it’s uber light.. ridiculously light.. it doesn’t really feel cheap.. this is coming from someone who have an iPhone4 as a primary handset..
    I don’t feel the HSPA+ though.. it’s at par with how my iPhone4 HSDPA connection is even if I tether to my laptop.. 2.5mbps at average..

    same day that afternoon, tawag ng tawag globe di ko sinasagot.hehehe i would have been tied down to globe for 2 years. i feel bad sa mga nag pre order sa globe, june 27 na pero until now wala pa din ata silang unit na hawak. pinaasa lang sila

      Again let me reiterate on why I am disgruntled by the “preorder” process of Globe.

      Aside from making us wait for the confirmation call which was said to be within 24 to 48 hours that turned out to be 1 whole week of waiting without any updates whatsoever, we were greeted by a text message today saying that our “preorders” are approved but they have no stocks available.

      We preordered as far as June 18 to hopefully reserve a unit for the launch. We weren’t gunning to get the phone ahead of launch though that would be sweet too. All we wanted was to have a reserved unit on Globe’s launch date on which June 27 was the indicated date. We preordered because we know the stocks would be limited. Now, Globe is telling us that they ran out of stocks? To add insult to injury some who dropped by yesterday at Glorietta had bought the unit without any preorders/reservation, and their sales representative keeps on advertising that it’s now (June 27) available on selected Globe Business Stores in Metro Manila pero kami na nagpreorder walang stock para sa amin?

    I like samsung phones, the problem is, madali syang masira. I’ve had several samsung phones, pero good for 1 year lang, kaya heto blik ako sa nokia. Poor lang ako kaya c7 lang kaya ko, pero inaantay ko rin yun N9.

    The Samsung Galaxy S2 is already available at the Globe Store.

      And yet those who PREORDERED the phone on GLOBE’s website since June 18 were left hanging without any updates from Globe’s online sales team on whether they’ll have the phone or not. Nice business practice there huh?

    I’ve been using the SGSII for a week now, at ang masasabi ko lang: The publicity did it justice. It really is THAT amazing.

    I respect all the Apple fanboys and their preferences, pero for he Android fans, THIS IS IT!

    that was a funny remark @Pro RH Bill.. yeah it WAS indeed evolutionary.. I own an iP4 though.. the screen is still much better than SGS (am not saying SGSII) and HTC phones…

    Getting this phone through Globe as my 2nd line after iP4.. Good Reviews about this phone are on every known tech blogs.. and Samsung is releasing this as an act of “Future-Proofing” their Galaxy line.. next stop I think will be non stereoscopic 3D phones…

    and to all the trolls, if you don’t appreciate technology then wtf.. stay out of yugatech’s pages.. you don’t call people with enough money to buy “dumb”.. and to those relating other brands.. stop bashing on this page if your post is not related with the topic.. think before you post..

      future proofing?? this is business. No company would ever want to create a complete future proof device. They would want you to keep on buying every 6 months. In 6 months, quadcore, LTE, ice-cream sandwich phones will come out. This does not even have full USB hosting connectivity. In 6 months your 3G phone will look crap compared with 4G/LTE phones. And this is 3G phone.

      with how fast technology is developing product replacement is very fast but it does not mean that the replaced product is already obsolete. It’s about the timing and I think a dual core phone right now would last a long time. Yes I know that a quad core phone is coming but you really wouldn’t need that right now or 6 months from now. The iPhone 4 has only a single core cpu but its wickedly fast how much more when the dual core iPhone 5 comes out.

      Lastly, Mike … I think SGS2 is 4G because it supports HSPA+ which would allow up to 21Mbps speeds.

      SGS2 would be the perfect replacement for my almost 10 year old N7250i :) talk about obsolete, eh? LOL.
