My first deal, so please be gentle! Find this today, and couldn't resist to finally buy it. Phone is sold by Amazon itself, so I can't imagine it branded or locked. The price on the website is 579 Euro, but then it changes to 575.28 Euro (with shipping) at the checkout. Paying by 0% fee visa credit card today it costs £506.70 About 1-2 weeks for delivery from Italy. Mine comes between 29th of June and 3rd of July. I think it's much better deal than last one from Amazon.it, locked to TiM network :wink:
Edit: Click on Nuovi: 77 venditori (77 sellers) Pick the Amazon.it, the one with PRIME delivery, not the cellularishop

really like the import amazon offers posted, feel the s8 was a bit too rectangle and long for my hands but great phone im sure.

If I won't like it, I can always sell it dearer on Gumtree :sunglasses:

This phone seems to be dropping you quite quickly in price. Wonder if it will steady out around £500 or if it will keep dropping.

are there any drawbacks to buying from the Italian site/ will the specs be any different to purchasing in the UK?

I think, its gonna have european charger.
As for drawbacks, I think amazon's got the same rules in whole EU (but different prices), so the same cons and pros as at Amazon.co.uk
No it's not Dual-SIM, the model for Dual SIM is the G950FD (note the 'D') Note: you can either use it as Dual SIM or as Single-SIM+MicroSD Card (not officially supported to be used Dual-SIM+MicroSD at the same time - but there appear to be a brave few souls with craft knives and super-glue making it work on the S7)
Tim network locked?? does it mean that I have to get it unlock before using my ee or Vodafone sim inside??

Can you get an adaptor for the European charger

I'd imagine it's going to be USB cabled so just attach it

The new coral blue one is just €11 more if anyone fancies it. Loved my coral blue S5 back in the day!

Thanks. Black is now available with same price direct from Amazon italy. I have placed an order. It saying delivery 15th July but i can wait for black colour until then in worse case. Also, Amazon does not charge until its not shipped so i will keep looking for better deals. I am also considering One plus 5 from America. One plus 5 is now one model all over world so no worry about frequency band etc.

hi is it generally check to purchase in Euros or pounds. I'm interested in the s8+ which looks like a good price, can anyone confirm if this is unbranded and unlocked?
