Samsung Galaxy S2 (Non-camera)

[lancer6238]

Hi all,

I'm interested in the Samsung Galaxy S2 (non-camera) smartphone. From the specs I found, it seems to have 16GB of internal storage, which is great because I want to use it mainly as a MP3 player.

From some of the posts I've read here on non-camera phones, is M1 the only place I can get the S2? And do I have to call, order online, or walk into any M1 shop to purchase it? What is the price and do I have to open a new line with M1/sign a contract to buy the phone? I'm a SingTel customer now, and as far as possible, I want to continue using my SingTel number.

Lastly, does M1 give any cert/documentation to certify that the phone is non-camera?

Thanks!

I thought there already is a non-camera version (not natively, they removed the camera, I believe)?

MSD or SAF do not allow self removed cameras hp, even if its from telco.. you must hav those non-cam manufactured hp, that comes w/o a cam by itselfs, w/o any modifications. so only choices now would be M1's ip4 and huawei honor with the cert.

*sigh* Guess I'll have to wait and see if S2 would be allowed. Thanks!

s2 non-camera is already out, it will not go on sale on the website
it would be similar to the previous non-camera ip4 by m1, the camera is removed n endorsed by m1

u can call 1633 to make the order
u will need to get a line from m1, either port ur singtel line over or get a new line wif them

there is a difference between manufactured non-cam hp and self-removed cam hp. best is to check with your unit.

 

[lancer6238]

Yes, I will do that before buying it. BTW, do you know how much it costs?

it should be normal price of S2 + removal fee from M1, if they still charge.

The latest GOM in force does not say that hor. In fact the GOM mentioned that camera must be done by the local telcos and come attached with a cert of removal among other things.

Does M1 provide the cert with the phone?

ouh.. so they have changed the rules again? last that i heard was that only manufactured non-cam hps are allowed, not even telco-removed. but since now that is allowed, can go get S2 wif removal liao.

iirc, latest by mindef is only telco-removed or manufacture-removed camera phones are allowed. For telco-removed, one has to bring along the letter from telco to your USO for approval. once approved, will be given a MSD sticker

Camera Removed by telco allowed

But not only do you need the certs by the telco, you need a sticker from your Unit's Security Officer. If i'm not wrong, they're in high demand.

Camera removal is only for sign up of new plan/renew plan with the telcos.

Also, max screen size allowed is 4.3", thats why only the S2 has camera removal services, not the S3 or the One X.

This is all for mindef only though.

IS the normal unmodified Galaxy s2 (i9100) even on sale by M1 anymore? I can't find it on the website
