Hi there

My mother's after a new android phone and the Galaxy S2 is the one she's thinking about getting.

I was looking on the Vodafone website and it's on sale at the moment $499 vs $799 on Telecom and 2Degrees.

https://www.vodafone.co.nz/shop/mobileDetails.jsp?skuId=sku12060049&voucherCode=&selectionKey=mobile&menuKey=

My question is - are these locked at all? She wants to put her 2Degrees SIM into it.

Cheers

M

They won't be locked and should work perfectly fine with a 2Degrees SIM card.

To boot they are a fantastic device, reliable, super fast and well shaped and weighted with excellent support. Go for it!

Just checked the buy price for our franchise. It looks like it has dropped across the board. I'm a bit confused with the pricing structure now, as no one will be buying the Ace Plus and S Advanced.

To mirror the other comments, they are excellent phones, and this is VERY good value.

I'd even be so bold to say that for most people looking for a Samsung Galaxy S model the Samsung Galaxy S II is the better option over Samsung Galaxy S III price vs function considered. NFC connection aside.

Thanks for your feedback everyone. As a current S2 owner I know what a great phone it is (although I do have S3 envy ;))

The pricespy link was especially interesting.......

You could grab for $475 @ Warehouse stationary with pricematch -5%, best deal. This will work until they also lower their price to $499.

Although the s3 is now $799 on special at the warehouse which also is quite a good price.

The Galaxy Nexus at $515 (Pricespy) is really a better buy, nicer screen and no horrid Touchwiz nonsense, and will get more frequent updates. The camera on the Nexus is not that great though.
