Salam Guys,
I was in the Cellphone market yesterday to gain some price inquiries.
I intend to purchase about 40k to 50k. But i am confused since i had particular interest in the Samsung Galaxy SII, It is available in two variant local warranty and No warranty but sealed-packed phones.
The people at the shops suggested the set from abroad, since it is cheaper. They said that the local warranty is something which isn't reliable itself since most claims are rejected ( because of humidity/water or burnt hardware).
They said that the plus point of buying the Abroad set is that it is cheaper and rarely has faults.
The price that i got for Local warranty was PKR 54,000 to PKR 52,000.
While Abroad set for PKR 46000.
Please also note that i offered an N8 in excellent condition and he offered PKR 25,000. Its with 3 month united warranty, should i sell it to him or should i demand more.
Thank you in advance.
Please reply soon.

Update:
P.S. I am Confused Between:
1. Samsung Galaxy SII (PKR 46,000)
2. Motorola RAZR XT910 (PKR 44,000)
Both are Android 2.3.5,having 8Megapixel camera and 1080P Videos.
Here is a comparison of both the phones on GSMARENA:
Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II vs. Motorola RAZR XT910 - GSMArena.com
Please help me choose between one of them.
Update #2
I bought the SGS II today and sold the Nokia N8.
But when i got home i noticed that when i switch the Phone On/Off, a "O2" image appears, along with the Samsung Galaxy image screen.
According to the Dealer, the set is Factory Unlocked.
I have called him up and he says it never been locked and for further clarification he has called me tomorrow.
Please owners of SGS II, tell what splash screen do you have and how tell whether this is Factory Unlocked piece.
Update #3 (Important)
SGS II owner please help me here!
As mentioned previously I got the SGS II from TeleTec pakistan.
I noticed some differences from the abroad set.
First is that in the "Settings" menu under "Display" - there was a option of "Gyro Sensor" in the "Abroad set".
I can't seem to find one in this Pakistani Teletec version.
Also i noticed that the "light sensor" on the "top" of the phone emits a Red light when the screen is on. Is this normal??
Didn't notice this in the abroad set.
Please Help!
Asap!
P.s. In GSM arena it is mentioned that We should get a 8GB Micro SDHC card but i didn't it in the Abroad nor the Local Samsung pakistan set. Please tell if you got or not.
Thank you in advance.

Guys before i start to annoy you.
I upgraded from a Nokia N8 and I had all my Songs in the memory card and when inserted the SD card into the SGS II, it is displaying Wrong Album Art while all my songs have different album art embedded into the songs, which are displaying perfectly on the Computer and also on the N8.
Please Tell me how to set this straight.
