Samsung Indonesia is now ready to open its first pre-orders for the new Samsung Galaxy Note II. Erafone, as one of the biggest phone retail stores in Indonesia, is running the pre-order scheme. Samsung is offering a big cut in the price from Rp7,499,000 (over $780) to Rp5,299,000 (over $550) – but the discount comes only by paying for it via credit card installments for 12 months at a zero percent interest rate. This price promo is valid only for credit card holders of BCA, BNI, Mandiri, and Citibank.
For carrier bundling, you can pick either Telkomsel or Indosat. If you choose Indosat, you will have to subscribe to Indosat services for 12 months for Rp200,000 (over $20) each month. Yet you can get the benefit of 4GB of 3G data per month with speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps, and voice credit lasting 1,800 minutes for calling other Indosat subscribers.
In contrast, if you opt for Telkomsel, the contract plan for 12 months will cost Rp250,000 (over $26) each month. That gives you 4GB of 3G per month, 175 minutes of free talk, 10 minutes worth of international calls, and 350 SMS.
The down payment for both carriers is Rp500,000 (over $52). The pre-order period runs to the 10th of October. The first Galaxy Note II devices in Indonesia will ship from the 12th to 21st of October. The pre-order process can be started here on the Erafone site.
Meanwhile, if you love quizzes (or free stuff), Samsung Indonesia is giving away a Galaxy Note II for free every day with different challenges. You need to create a doodle, write something, or submit a photograph in response to daily challenges set by the company on Twitter with specific hashtags. Part of the judging process has been assigned to three local creative talents: Iwet Ramadhan (fashion designer) for #Note2draw, Adib Hidayat (music journalist) for #Note2write, and Renny Fernandez (film-maker) for #Note2capture.
To join the competition, you first need to link up your Twitter account by accessing the 1 Day 1 Note website. The Samsung Galaxy Note II freebies are up for grabs until October 12th.
