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.
Kernel Sender says:
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.
jen says:
made my reservation, been eyeing on this fone since it was introduced last feb.
been reading tcp forum, mukhang may mga napeke ang http://www.rapidfireconcepts.com/
when you look at the website pareho ng samsung pre-order website.
at isa pa, kaya pala lagpas 12am na, wala pa down pa rin yung site dahil mali yung link na nakapost sa mga techblogs
small letters pala dapat

RJ says:
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.
Calvin says:
marami talaga ang napeke ng link. kahit kami napeke ni samsung. mali yung binigay na link sa amin. well hindi naman talaga mali, yung webmaster ng pre-order site ginawang case sensitive yung URL.
jen says:
@yuga or anybody who has connection with Samsung Rep, please ask naman po, whats up with rapidfireconcepts, baket nakikigulo sya hehe
baka kasi, 2 ang sites, 600 ang pumunta sa rockwell to claim their pre-ordered sgs2. chaos yun :p
joeyoliver says:

Mark sebastian says:
any one want to give out their reservation.. pls contact me thanx

Waiting for the best phone ever.Iphone 5!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wes says:
I was able to reserve a unit and confirm it but was not able to print out the confirmation page since I thought I could do it at a later time.
Now, when I visit the confirmation page, it says All Units Reserved.
How can I print out my confirmation page, does anybody have the contact email of Samsung PH?
Chris says:
I waited 12:01am and loaded the website. shemay! “Page cannot be found”, I’ve been trying for 20+ minutes and ganun pa din ang error. Buti na lang sinubaybayan ko ang TCP thread and got the correct link. CASE-SENSITIVE url?? Since when pa naging ganun ang mga websites?
Anyway, I got in and got my control number :)
mike says:
really lots of suckers here who think they are saving money. some of these people even got it with car accessories even without a car haha! morons! Anyway to answer the question, yes I reserved one but I won’t be buying it. I am not a dumbass.
Matt says:
Yes, I reserved one. I too made the mistake of using the SII on the link (as it was reported), but when I woke up this morning, I checked comments from a different blog, I learned that it is supposed to be ‘sii’.
Got a reservation when there was 27 units left! Whew! That was close!
slabster says:
awwww i missed it :(

@Anti RH Bill
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..
Jake says:
kelan ba lalabas ang iPhone 5??? any idea?
Sag says:
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!

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.

FUTURE S2 OWNER says:
di na ako makahintay makaakyat ng baguio yung unit. so june 24 ng 4am, nagpa pre order na ako sa globe online. i was about to go to sleep na, pero after browsing bout galaxy s2, i happened to see pinoytechblog’s samsung preorder discount sale on july 2. registration was june 24-30. june 24 4am pa lang 200+ na ang reservations. buti nakahabol ako.
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
Dan says:

Mark says:
Is the pickup for the Phone at a samsung store? It justd gives the address in a mall. I can’t find any info of a samsung store in the mall. Please help i need to pick this up tomorow and i’m from out of town
Cliff Rosario says:
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..
chee says:
hi.. i got the SGS2 and i’m loving it so much! :)
